{Astrea's POV}
Astrea was shocked hearing Argus. She did not think that Argus was grateful that she came.
"So when you became surrounded by the beast I became worried and immediately rush to you. I was worried that I was late and you will die. It's my negligence as the summoner that I put you on danger."(Argus)
'No! It is my fault. If I listened to you, I wouldn't be in that position."(Astrea)
Astrea tried to convey her thoughts. Argus just smiled at her.
"I decided to free you. You may have been feel regretful signing a contract with me just because you feel obliged."(Argus)
Astrea knows that what Argus said was true. That she signed a equal contract with him since he was the one who saved her. She also slightly regrets her decision but she decided to not terminate it since Argus was not limiting her freedom.
The only the Astrea hated was that she cannot walk inside the City since other people might caught her and Argus cannot do anything about it since they're both weak. However, it all change a while ago. Astrea wants to stay with him from now on. She wants to accompany Argus on his journey. But it looks like it's too late.
{Argus's POV}
"I, Argus Orpheus, Summoner of Astrea, who once bound you is now terminating our contract for the reason that I am not a competent Summoner."(Argus)
[Do you wish to break your contract with your Soulbound Astrea?]
[Yes/No]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Terminating the contract will cause you Severe Pain in your Soul]
[Do you wish to continue?]
[Yes/No]
'Sigh... There is no other choice isn't it.'(Argus)
Before Argus choose yes. Astrea was suddenly covered in light. Her wolf-like features transformed into a graceful humanoid form, with her ears elongating into delicate points. A mane of flowing purple hair cascaded down her back, shining with a glow that matched the stars.
Astrea now flying above Argus as a breathtaking Demi-Human Wolf, radiating an otherworldly beauty that captivated everyone who can saw her. Her presence seemed to create a peaceful melody that harmonized with the celestial energies of the place, filling the air with a tranquil and magical atmosphere.
Argus was dumbstruck on what happened, he was mesmerized by the beautiful lady in front of him. He didn't know what to do and just stares at her. His face also started to heat up since the Demi-Human wolf lady in front of him was naked.
"I, Astrea, vow to forge a life and death contract with Argus Orpheus. Our bond will unite our fates across worlds. By this pact, I pledge to stand by his side, to protect him, and support him in every battle. Let the heavens be witness to my solemn vow."(Astrea)
Argus cannot process all the things that is happening when suddenly the beautiful lady which was from what he heard was Astrea's transformation, gently descended on Argus embrace.Astrea slowly close the distance of hers and Argus's lips, as she gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"I vow to forge a life and death contract with you. Our bond will unite our fates across worlds. By this pact, I pledge to stand by you, protect you, and support you in every battle. Together, we will be unstoppable. Let the heavens be witness to my solemn vow, and the unspoken truths that bind us."
The heavens acknowledged her vow as a raging thunder can be heard by all the residents of Vesmir World. As the words hung in the air, Astrea, in her transformed state as Lumina, gently descended from her flight and landed gracefully beside Argus. With a soft smile, she leaned forward and pressed her lips gently against his lips.
After the kiss, Astrea separated from Argus, her eyes reflecting a beautiful smile filled with affection and gratitude. Without a word, she transformed back into her wolfcub form. However, the exertion of her transformation took its toll, and she collapsed, losing consciousness in Argus's arms.
The events of the night had left Argus overwhelmed and unable to fully process the whirlwind of emotions. He held Astrea's unconscious form in his arms, feeling a mix of awe and confusion.
"What just happened?"(Argus)
Argus mind was still wandering.
"Is that really Astrea?"(Argus)
Thinking about the beautiful naked lady. Argus faced started to heat up. He shakes his head trying to forget that scene.
"No, what I'm thinking! Sigh... Let's just sleep. Too much happened today."(Argus)
Argus carried Astrea with him through the tent. He noticed that all of her injury and wounds have been healed perfectly as her health also returned to full.
'Maybe because of that transformation.'(Argus)
After putting Astrea down, he also lay down and sleep.
***
When the morning comes, Argus woke up be he still didn't got up. He felt something heavy on his chest. Opening his eyes, Argus saw a wolfcub sleeping on top of him.
Seeing Astrea, Argus remembered what happened last night which he can only sigh since he have no idea what's happening.
Argus decided to free Astrea but suddenly she transformed into a very beautiful lady and make an life and death contract with him.
"Welcome to the family, I guess?"(Argus)
Argus caress Astrea's firm gently which awoken her. Astrea opened her eyes as she makes an eye contact with her Master.
"Good morning Master!"(Astrea)
"Good morning too, Astrea. Let's got up to eat breakfast. Looks like I can understand you now."(Argus)
Argus now can easily understand what Astrea is trying to convey like a normal human, telepathically of course. Astrea's voice was still as soft like a child but he knows that she is older than him because of that form.
While eating, Argus asks him about what happened last night. He even told him about her transformation. Of course Argus did not include about her nakedness and the kiss.
"I don't know master, the only thing I remembered was you about to terminate our contract then I passed out. Are you gonna still abondoned me Master?"(Astrea)
Astrea says in an agrieved tone. Argus smiled bitterly.
"You already signed a Life and death contract with me. If I terminate the contract, you will immediately die. I will not like that to happen of course."(Argus)
"Does that mean that you and I will not be separated now?"(Astrea)
Argus nods. Astrea became happy but she did not convey it to Argus. He still noticed it though since she can saw her tail wagging. Argus also decided to block the connection which he can feel the emotion of her summoned beast so that she can have her own privacy in which Astrea was also happy about.
What Argus did not know is that after passing out, Astrea was in a dream were all the things that happened last night was witness by her. She was happy and curious at the same time.
'Why does this form of mine familiar... Who am I? What's my origin? Well, it does not matter. The important thing is that I will not be separated to him again.'(Astrea)
Argus also began to check his notification.
