Synopsis
The Story: A Journey of Broken Trust and Unexpected Love What would you do if the person you loved most tried to kill you? Firion never saw it coming—literally. The last thing his eyes ever saw was her. The woman he trusted. The one he would’ve died for. And then… she threw acid in his face and walked away like he meant nothing. Now, scarred, half-blind, and alone in the wild, Firion is just trying to survive. But then she appears—not his betrayer, but a stranger. A woman with no reason to help him… and yet, she does. Can kindness from a stranger heal the wounds of betrayal? She carried him from the woods. He didn’t know her name… but those horns—he’d never forget. Would you trust someone who looks like the people who destroyed your life? He woke up in a stranger’s bed—safe, treated, warm. She had a gentle voice and a kindness Firion hadn’t felt in decades. But when his fingers brushed against her horns… Everything came crashing back. His village. The fire. The screams. She says she’s not like them. But how do you separate a person from the past they remind you of? In a world where demons burned his home, killed his family, and took everything from him—Firion never thought he’d wake up in a demon’s house. Let alone be saved by one. Is Kaida truly different… or is that what she wants him to believe?

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Who are you?

"Misha...Misha? What is wrong? Why are you pulling on my sleeve so much?" 

A young, beautiful, girl with long red hair and blue horns is being pulled along by a giant wolf that gently nudges her hand as it leads her towards something. 

As they hurried along, the girl became more concerned as she noticed an obvious blood trail, which sent a chill down her spine. 

"Misha...I really do not like walking around this late." The girl says with a worried expression. But as she walks further Misha stops and begins whimpering and shaking her tail hysterically. The girl stops dead in her tracks as she comes across a gruesome sight! 

A very large man is slumped against the tree. He has rather long black hair and very long, pointed ears that were far bigger and longer than the girl's own small, pointed ears. 

The girl noticed the man was wearing heavy armor and was covered with blood! As she examined closer she noticed his eyes were shut and appeared to have been burned by something. 

Even though she does not know this person, she cannot help but feel empathy at his battered state; however as she reaches out to try to stroke his face his hand suddenly seizes hers! 

"Who are you? Are you with the demons?" he growls as he grits his teeth, but keeps his eyes closed. 

The girl shrills and tries to back away! But this man's grip is too strong! and he pulls back towards him. 

She nervously looks directly at the man, much more clearly now that he pulled her closer. He is much older looking than the girl and has a noticeable black beard and mustache, he still has not opened his eyes. 

The girl also realizes the man's bleeding is getting worse! Instead of allowing fear to cloud her judgement she decides that she wants to do something, so she takes a big gulp. 

"You're losing a lot of blood...I don't know what a demon is...and my wolf Misha led me to you." she asked nervously as the man still gripped her hand aggressively! Causing the wolf to start growling, causing the man to twitch his ears. 

As he held the girls' wrist he could tell by her pulse that she was being truthful and with the wolf confirming her presence he now understands that she must be telling the truth so he releases her.

The man tries to open his eyes to look, despite his constant squinting the girl can now see how bad the injury to his eyes is, they were red, bloodshot, and had a mucus oozing from them! 

"Sir? Can you see me? Can you see at all?" she asked in a concerned tone. She puts her hands to his face and tries to look for any other injuries to his head or neck. 

The man felt the girl's warm hands that had a soft texture, but no matter how hard he tried he could not make out more than a blurry dark shadow, he was mostly blind now. 

"I cannot see anything...*urpp....*" Suddenly the man spat up blood and started coughing heavily! Then he started sliding, but the girl caught him! He now feels his face resting between two very large, soft mounds! 

("Just what are these? They're huge.") The man senses this and he squeezes one of the mounds, only to be greeted by a very feminine gasp from the girl as she blushes at his fondle. 

He immediately releases his hand when he realizes that he groped the girl's very ample bosom! He blushes at his action, especially now that he understands the girl caught him and just wants to help. 

"I apologize...please if you mean no harm then I would appreciate your help. Otherwise I am going to bleed to death, and there are still many things I wish to experience in this world." he begged. 

The girl caressed his face affectionately. "My name is Kaida. What is yours?" she cooed. "My....name is....Fir...ion..." and then he went silent. 

Kaida looked alarmed. "Misha, let's hurry back!" She commanded her wolf.
