Okay, this chapter to chap 18? are ALL one event. Rememer, she's reading a vague history of her people.
Chapter 9:
The Sought-after Prize
The Chimera of Titan, Ameus, developed over the years in the Supreme Commander's
Cruel care. In fact, she blossomed into a beautiful killer that
Had attracted the Emperor's attention.
Apollo demanded the apprentice who was 2 years from coming of age.
Her teacher refused, saying she was already spoken for.
This enraged the Emperor and he went away, for the time being.
The Supreme Commander knew he would return and started to plan as
he pushed his student to even more bloody heights.
She still did not give in or give up, pushing back with all her might
And excelling in every degree and surpassing assumptions.
And then, almost two years later, on the eve of her Coming of age…
…That dreaded Day came.
Night had fallen and Morva had taken her out for soy ice cream to watch the sunset. He had explained the reason why she didn't like milk and why she had been eating unusual foods and taking odd mineral supplements.
"The milk, tofu and such of our world were plant derivatives. Soy milk, tofu and more are the closest things Terra has to our food. We had meat as well but it was mainly organic and there were minerals and such that were added at times to maintain our highly evolved and perfectly designed bodies." Morva explained, Hotaru's arm threaded through his. He kissed her cheek. "Let's take a seat and you can finish your book, okay? Oh, I know. Go sit on that bench and I'll bring you something sweet."
Hotaru went to the bench Morva had indicated to while he dashed off somewhere. She sat down and took out her book to read.
