Chapter 4

Ooza awoke as the sun rose from the east and took its rightful place in the heavens. Along with the sun, Ooza's godly strength also returned. Her hair became silver, her eyes regained their emerald green tone, the electricity of her spiritual power once again reflected in their beautiful depths. Her tail once again retreated into her spine. Finally, her heavenly robes reappeared, covering her body.

Ooza stood up from where she rested, Valkin's cape slipping off her shoulders and falling to the ground. Turning around, she found Valkin still sitting there, staring at her. Had he even slept, she wondered?

"Why do you stare at me like that?" she asked, " Do I intrigue you." Valkin continued to stare at her, completely captivated. "Did you stay with me the whole night?" she asked after a moment. Valkin broke out of his trance " Yes, my lady. I stayed by your side throughout the night. Did you think I would abandon you in your weakened state?" he said a bit hurt. Ooza was silent a moment. "You look tired. Did you get any sleep?" she asked. "No, I wouldn't allow myself to sleep for any a moment. I was afraid that if I did someone or something might hurt you or take you from me." he said with a look of concern in his dark eyes. "You didn't have to. I can take care of myself. I am a GODDESS!" she yelled. "Yes but you were mortal last night, and all mortals can DIE!" he yelled back.

They stood staring at each other. When Valkin had calmed down he said in a much calmer voice, "I stayed with you because you are my goddess, my creator. It is my honor and my duty to protect you."

"I see. I must return to heaven now. But if you ever need me merely call my name and I will come." Said Ooza turning her back to the young man. "Be warned Valkin, I have in-trusted you with a great secret. If anyone should find out about my weakness, I will be put in grave danger. And if that happens…. I will strike you dead! Do you understand me!", she yelled.

"Yes my lady. I understand perfectly.", he said a bit nervously. "You can trust me with your secret. I won't tell a soul, I promise on my life. I

won't disappoint you."

With that, Ooza transformed into a brilliant light and ascended into the heavens.

Valkin looked up at the clouds. His mind reeling with thoughts from the previous night. Through the night he had worded off wolves, bandits, even demons. Even when things got rough he didn't leave her side. He spent the entire night protecting her, as she slept peacefully under his warm fur cape. When the dangers had passed, he lay down beside her and treasured her warmth and her delightful scent, staring at her radiant face. He dared not touch her improperly though, she was after all a goddess. To do so would mean eternal damnation in the fiery pits of hell! Though he lusted after her greatly, he only wished to serve his goddess. The woman he loved so much he would gladly lay down his own life for hers. Ironic isn't it? For a Saiyan to have such a rare emotion as love for someone who couldn't possibly love him back. And be willing to die for her even though she probably wouldn't give a damn. HOW TWISTED FATE SEEMS SOMETIMES!
