Chapter 1

Waking to the landscape passing by was still an odd sight for Neirad. It was still a rather calming sight to him, something he admittedly was not used to, even after three months of it. Even more so was the woman he woke up to everyday with. His purple eyes went to the large red bracelet sewn into her right wrist. The symbol of the fate they chose. He exhaled, the fate of a God Eater.

God Eaters were all that stood between humanity and the 'Gods' that threatened to exterminate them. Aragami as they were known to the world, a name given to them by Fenrir; the organization responsible for the God Eater's very existence. Aragami, are monsters with the ability to extremely adapt to any situation in mere days, replicate this adaptability at a rapid pace, due to the existence of 'Oracle' cells. No one knows how these Oracle cells came to be, only that they adapt. God Eaters are born by infusing these Oracle Cells into the human body and turning them essentially into the very monsters they are fighting, or rather the handles for the blades that devour Gods. God Arcs as they call them.

The God Arcs are the weapons of the God Eaters, the weapons as well as their owners are infused with a special type of isolated Aragami cells that allows them to fight off the Aragami on somewhat equal footing. There originally were only two types of God Arcs, those that are a blade and shield and those that are just a gun (old types). Then came a third type, a combination of the two (New type). The cells used to keep the Arcs under control are in surgically implanted bracelets given to the God Eaters when outfitted with the Bias Cells that give them their ability to wield their God Arcs. The bracelets are also used to monitor vitals when out in the field and communicate with teammates.

"Neirad?" His partner's half asleep voice questioned the darkness. She sat up now, single red eye shining amongst the darkness. "Did you have a bad dream again?"

The purpled eyed God Eater chuckled as he took a seat beside her. "No, I was just watching the landscape go by. It's still so fascinating to be out here." His hand found its home on her cheek, thumb brushing the side of her mouth. Again he inspected her, the white hair was now way longer than she had ever wanted it to be, reaching nearly halfway down her back and long enough in the front to fully cover her naked breast. "Gina." Her name but a whisper on his tongue.

The female God Eater pressed her hand against his, as he inspected her she did the same to him. Sniper's eye trained to find any weakness written upon his chocolate skin. Any single hint of fear in his purple eyes, perhaps even a misplaced hair among those long locks of obsidian. I've known him far too long. The thought made her smile. "Get back to bed." She kissed his cheek before laying down, "I need to finish using you for warmth."

Neirad smiled and walked around to his side of the bed, "So demanding." He commented as he slipped in beside her and pulled her into his arms.
