The sun was shining bright over the ocean as Tempest led Kiba from the shore and made their way into the forest. She couldn't shake off the memory of the battle between Aurora and Kiba, and the ease with which Kiba had defeated the fierce warrior.
For her, it was not just a contest; it was plain bullying. This was why Tempest decided to leave Aurora and other warriors from her team behind. They weren't like her, who could control their emotions, and she didn't want them to provoke Kiba and face a humiliating end.
"Still, I just couldn't let this man forget his place… he's in Eden!"
Tempest thought, her grip on her sword sheath tightening.
"And not some wasteland where men ruin everything with their superiority complex!"
Tempest couldn't help but cast sidelong glances at Kiba. The latter was busy observing the surroundings, admiring the beauty of the place.
