While it was indeed true that Athena had fallen in love with Bam from the moment she laid eyes on him back in Sun City, her love for him had always run deeper and was more complex than what she portrayed in front of others.
What she had been truly entranced with at first sight was not simply the light in Bam's eyes that saw the world of demons with rose-colored glasses, but the purity of his soul.
A soul strong enough to shine even in the most hopeless of circumstances. A soul that could not be easily corrupted by the darkness of the world around it. The purest of souls even amongst humans.
Since the day she had gained consciousness in the Spirit world millions of years ago, she had never encountered a soul as pure as his. It was a soul one would only find in legendary heroes in the human continent but several times more potent.
