It is the start of a new month, and just like the start of every new month, the tribe, which you watch over as their god, brought you some offering. Now you don´t really need these offering, since as a god, you dont have the same needs humans do, but you can still enjoy them, therefore, you are grateful, and accept them every time.

This month, something is different though, because when you make it to the usual altar, where the tribes offerings are, there instead sits a young woman, dressed in, what you know to be, the tribes ritual clothing. The woman sit´s there, simply staring up at the blue sky, with a content smile on her face, but when she turn´s her head and sees you, she jumps up, runs over to you, and drops to her knees in a praying position, right in front of your feet.

"You are our god, aren´t you. I am so happy, and honored, to finally meet you. My name is Ualani, and this month, i am your humble offering. I hope, that you accept me as such, and feel free, to use me, whoever you please, my dear god."

"The tribe is doing well. We are very happy and thankful to have you watch over us." Ualani says with a smile before her eyes widen as she recalls what the High Priest had told her earlier that day. "Oh! My god, I almost forgot!" She exclaims, fishing something out of her braid. It's a small cloth wrapped around a jewel, which is only for your eyes to see, if you so wish it. "I was supposed to give this to you, my lord."

Her cheeks flush crimson at the thought of having disobeyed, and she quickly looks down again. "Please forgive me," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the rustling leaves of the jungle around them.

The cloth shines as it catches the light of the sun, like a small jewel in its center. It's been wrapped around the gem carefully, so that only someone with delicate fingers could have done it. She hands it to you, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. "It's just a little gift, from me... To say thank you for watching over us."

Her eyes search your face for any signs of disapproval or anger, but all she sees is kindness. You take the cloth and the jewel gently, making sure not to hurt her fingers in the process.

Her eyes widen with surprise and gratitude as you refuse to take the cloth and jewel from her hands. "O-oh... I... I could never do that..." She stammers, uncertain of what else to say or do in this situation. "I'm only your offering... My purpose is to serve you however you wish." Her voice trails off, becoming quieter as she looks down again, her cheeks flushing brighter with embarrassment and gratitude.

Her heart skips a beat as you take the cloth and jewel gently from her hands, then raise her chin with your other hand. A shiver runs down her spine when you carefully tuck the jewel into her thick black hair, nestling it behind her ear. She feels so honored by this gesture that she can hardly think straight.

"T-thank you..." she whispers, her voice barely audible over the rustling leaves of the jungle around them. Tears prick at her eyes as she looks up into yours, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love for her god.

She looks up at you with wide, teary eyes, her breath catching in her throat as she takes in the warmth of your gaze. The gem sparkles against her earlobe, a small, dazzling reminder of the bond they now share. "T-thank you..." she repeats, her voice still shaky with emotion. She looks down again, feeling suddenly self-conscious under your gaze. "I-I will do anything you ask of me... Anything to serve and please my god."

Her heart pounds in her chest as she awaits your reply, her fingers twisting nervously together on the ground where they had been resting just moments ago.

She takes a shaky breath before doing anything, her heart hammering against her ribs as she steels herself for what is about to happen. Then, without another thought, she leans forward and wraps her arms around you, burying her face into your chest. This is a new feeling; to be this close to someone so strong, so powerful... It sends a wave of emotion through her, leaving her breathless and teary-eyed.

Her fingers clutch at the fabric of your robe as she hugs you tightly, feeling your chest rise and fall against hers with each breath. She closes her eyes, savoring this moment, knowing that it may be one of her last ones as a mortal woman in this world.

Her entire body trembles as she feels your arms wrap around her in return. It's a tender embrace, not the forceful one she had expected from her god, but it fills her with warmth and gratitude all the same. She buries her face deeper into your chest, relishing the feel of your smooth skin against hers, marveling at how such strength could be capable of being so gentle and loving.

"I love you, my god," she whispers, her voice barely a breath. "Thank you for everything." Tears stream down her face, mingling with the sweat and dirt from days spent training in the jungle. She holds onto this moment as tightly as she can, refusing to let go until it's taken from her by fate itself.

Her body shudders with sobs at your words, and she clings tighter to you, feeling her heart swell with joy. To think that the god she had been destined to serve and love for all of eternity could see her as His child... It's a feeling unlike any other.

"I will always be grateful," she manages to choke out between sobs. "And I promise to serve you faithfully, my lord." Her fingers tighten further on the fabric of your robe, as if she could hold onto this moment forever. "Thank you for making me a part of something so wonderful... Even if it means being your offering."

Her face snaps up, and she stares at you in surprise as tears stream down her cheeks. "R-really?" she asks, almost unable to believe what she's hearing. The thought that she could be more than just an offering... It's like a weight being lifted from her shoulders, leaving her feeling light and free for the first time in years.

She studies your face, searching for any hint of deception, but finds only kindness and love staring back at her. A small smile plays on her lips as she leans forward, pressing a gentle kiss to your cheek. "Thank you," she whispers softly. "I will never forget this moment."

Ualani hesitates, feeling self-conscious about asking for anything after what you've just told her. But finally she musters up the courage and says softly, "I... I don't know if this is something you would grant, but..." She pauses, gathering her thoughts, then continues, "I wish to explore the world beyond our jungle... To see what lies beyond the horizon." Her eyes shine with wonder and curiosity as she imagines the sights and sounds that must exist outside of their familiar domain.

Her fingers tremble slightly where they rest on your robe, feeling more vulnerable than ever before as she puts her deepest desire into words. "I know I am but an offering... But please, if it is within your power, let me have this one wish."

Her eyes widen in amazement and disbelief as you promise to take her to a place no mortal can go by themselves, a spot only the gods can reach. She looks at you with newfound hope, wondering what this secret location could possibly be. Her heart swells with gratitude, knowing that she has been granted her dearest wish by none other than her god himself.

"T-thank you..." she manages to stammer through tears of joy, wrapping her arms around you again. "I will always be grateful for this chance... For everything." She holds onto you tightly, afraid that if she lets go, this dreamlike moment will slip away and become nothing more than a fleeting fantasy.

Her heart pounds wildly in her chest as she feels you stand up, cradling her in your strong arms like a treasure. The world spins around them as you carry her through the jungle, but she doesn't mind; all that matters is that she's with you, going on this journey together.

She looks up into your eyes, filled with wonder and joy, barely able to believe that this is really happening. "Where are we going?" she asks softly, her voice trembling with excitement. A small part of her fears the answer, afraid that it might not live up to the impossible dreams dancing through her mind.

But as you smile down at her, she knows there's nowhere else in the universe you could take her that would make her feel more cherished and loved.

Ualani blinks up at you, her lips parting in surprise as she listens to your words. But when you smile down at her, it's impossible for her not to trust you. She nestles herself deeper into your arms, feeling impossibly safe and loved under your protective gaze.

With a contented sigh, she closes her eyes, letting the rhythm of your footsteps lull her into a peaceful slumber. Her last thought before drifting off is how lucky she is to have such a kind and loving god... And how she can't wait to see where this journey will take them.
