Aquila
I had a wonderful time with Kiba and the others in Detroit, but I had to go to the Jungle Planet. Destiny was calling and no one can escape destiny. The night before I left though, it was one night I wouldn't forget.
"So, you have to go to the Jungle Planet because it's destiny?" Kiba asked when we took a walk around the ranch grounds.
"Yeah. Crazy, isn't it?" I asked back.
"Not really. My father says that no man can escape his fate. If it's destiny, then you have to do her bidding".
We went out to the lake and sat on the shore, loving the beauty of it all. The moon was full and the sky was starry and clear. We stargazed for hours on end.
"Hey, isn't that your constellation?" Kiba pointed out Aquila, my namesake.
"Yeah, that's me" I answered.
"What's the story?".
"What?".
"The story of the constellation. Every constellation has a story behind it, right?".
"Yeah, but it's complicated".
"Oh just tell me. I'm sure I'll get it".
So I told him.
"Well, believe it or not, Aquila was actually a guy eagle who was a secondary messenger to Zeus, king of the Greek gods. When he needed a new cupbearer, he sent Aquila to fetch him that one person to do such an honorable job. Of course, the title of cupbearer could only be given to the most beautiful of mortals, so that was what Aquila searched for. He found a very handsome guy named Ganymede, and flew him to the hall of the gods, where he was made the cupbearer. Zeus was so happy with Aquila's choice that, upon his death, he put Aquila into the sky as the constellation. That's the version I know".
"Pretty interesting. You like mythology?" Kiba asked.
"It's kinda my mother's thing. As you know, she named all of us after constellations. Well, I'm an exception. My dad named me" I answered.
"You're his special one…every father has one. When will you leave?".
"Tomorrow morning. Why?".
"Because I want you to have this" Kiba removed something from around his neck, "This necklace, its pendant, it's made of real amber, which is very rare nowadays. I want you to wear it as a good luck charm. And as a symbol of my promise".
"What promise?" I asked.
Suddenly, out of the blue, Kiba kissed me. Then I understood a little. It was my first kiss, and I loved it…loved him.
"My promise to find you" Kiba answered, "When you come of age, I'll find you and make you my spark mate. We'll rule the Jungle Planet together someday, I promise".
Hopefully that wouldn't be too far away in the future. I kissed him back and held the precious amber pendant in my hand, and let the chain just hang. That was how I met my first love…Kiba, son of a wannabe racer and an awesome ninja. He'd find me. I already knew he would.
A/N: How was that? I was thinking about putting these two together for now. But I might pair her with a beast morph later. I don't know. I guess I'll have to wing it and see what happens.
