"Hey ya'll, what's going on. Arthur here of course. I'm just gonna let you guys know that when i started this story, i had may ideas going into it but now not so much. This is gonna be a short story with around 10ish chapters, at least around there. Then maybe i can work on a much bigger project for you all. This story was always gonna be an introductory to how i write stories. So after this story, i will be taking notes and write a much longer and better second story hopefully. Anyways sorry for the delay and here is the new chapter. Enjoy.
Half way to getting home, the little girl in his arms woke up and thrashed around. She eventually escaped from Xerxes arms since he didn't really care and watched her run away. He just shrugged and continued to walk home without a care. The little girl was hiding and saw the man carrying her continued to walk away and it confused her.
She thought that he would give chase and capture her but instead ignored her. She decided to follow him from behind from a distance just in case. Of course Xerxes noticed the little girl following him but once again didn't care. Along the way he slaughtered beasts that were stupid enough to attack him.
All the while, the girl followed became more and more curious about the man but was still very cautious. She became excited seeing him kill all the monsters without struggling and with one hit and wished she could become that strong.
2 hours later, they finally arrived back to civilization and the man she was watching suddenly vanished. Xerxes once he saw that the girl was back to town decided to leave since he wants nothing to do with her. He learned long ago that relying and caring about someone becomes a weakness that his enemies can exploit, back when he was being tortured and brained wash.
The girl eventually ran up to him and hugged him, asking if she can stay with him. Since she doesn't have anyone to go back to. Xerxes may be a realist but even he can't help wanting to help this child. He decided to make the girl his apprentice and train her to be strong but only if she's willing to put the time and effort in since he won't raise slackers.
He wrote everything down on the piece of paper and handed it to the little girl hoping she could read or this is gonna be an awkward time together. The girl looked at the letter and was thankfully able to read it with a little struggle but she agreed, since she wanted to get stronger when she was watching him fight. Xerxes nodded his head and decided to take a few years off to train the girl after he reached Rank X.

Several years have gone by and the little girl who names we found out was Luna, is now 21 years old and has grown into a fine natural beauty. Waist length black flowing hair, purple eyes, a cute little nose, purple wolf ears and tail just adding to her allure. Thin waist and big assets in the right places.
She has grown immensely strong especially since Xerxes offered to join the Accursed organization in exchange for helping to train her in aspects that's he is no good at. They agreed and all adore the little girl thinking her as a sister. She grew up with tons of mother like figures and Xerxes didn't allow any the guys to get to her. At the very least too close to her. He somehow ended up being overprotective of the girl and views her as his own daughter but will never admit it.
Along the years many things have happened. Everyone knows about the Accursed Organization now and like predicted people became afraid and tried countless times to wipe them out but to no avail. The Accursed organization has found a way to make people become Accursed without all the torture and experiments that they were subjected to.
They created a serum that once injected, changes your body into being half human and half animal. The animal is depending on your soul animal so no one can predict what you'll become. The process does cause a little pain but nothing major and is the last step to become a full blown member.
Xerxes ended up being their strongest member till date and has personally been on many battlefields to protect his new family. He has earned some scars over the years but nothing to life threatening.
The Organization has conquered quite a bit of land and is now widely accepted of demi races since there is no discrimination. The humans still declare war once in a while which has become a good learning practice for there young ones to get used to combat. Though there will always be 5 trainers there or more depending on the situation to overwatch them and step in if needed.
Xerxes still does work with the guild but with his influence only accepts the big jobs that need his attention. Otherwise he's training new recruits and helping people out like usual. Although he content with his life, he always feels like something is off but he never knew what.
Unbeknownst to him, the girl he helped raised has been in love with him for 5 years now and liked him since he took care of her. Luna knows at this point how dense Xerxes is and how he doesn't know anything about love. She will try her hardest to make him see her as a woman. Even if he doesn't accept her, she will always stay by his side and help him because it's the one thing she truly loves doing. She will do anything to stay by his side and unknowingly to her, he feels the same about keeping her safe. He doesn't know what he's feeling but he knows that he doesn't want Luna to leave him. The thought of it makes his heart hurt for some reason.
