Erelah finishes the crown of flowers she has been working on for the past hour.

"What do you think?" she asks me.

I shrug as I wait for the fish to take the bait.

It's been about five months since I fell from the sky, and the cold winter turned into a warm spring. There's still no trace of my army, and I don't know how long I will have to wait for them to break the shield around this world and find me. During this time, Erelah has kept pestering me about learning her language-more like forcing me. Since I had nothing better to do, I gave in. Big mistake, because now she visits me every day to talk to me. Not one day passes without her showing up uninvited and forcing me to learn something.

Like fishing.

She didn't stop bringing it up until I picked up a fishing rod, sat under a willow tree, put bait on the hook, and cast it into the water.

"Pretty," I mutter because her eyes shine each time I say it.

Erelah puts the flower crow on top of my head. "Now you are pretty."

I huff under my breath. No one had anything good to say about me until Erelah-monster, heartless, killer, and so on, but not pretty.

Erelah keeps talking. "Pretty grumpy."

I snort while she laughs.

A fish takes the bait and I start pulling the rod toward me. The fish tries to escape, but I get it closer to me.

"You got this," Erelah encourages me.

No one has cheered for me until Erelah.

So help me Ophyr, I don't want to kill Erelah anymore. I want to keep her. Like a pet or a love. Whatever she wants to be for me. While I don't have carnal urges, if that's something she wants, I'll join my body with hers.
