Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 14: Miya Vestitor

What hits Sol wasn't a sharp claw to his neck, but a lifeless ratman body with a bloody hole on its head.

Sol quickly turns around and move back a few steps, he looks around warily. A few meters from him is the group of five that was fighting this ratman.

"are you ok?" the man at the forefront ask him while lowering his gun, most likely he was the one that saved him.

"Yeah, thanks." Sol thank him.

"what temple are you from? Why are you alone, where is your team?" the man starts to question him.

"I have been met with a lot of suspicions this day" Sol feels depressed.

"I'm not part of any temple yet. I'm trying to get back home, they give me their permission." He tries to explain.

"then they probably overestimated you" another man cuts in.

"I'm sorry, he didn't mean any harm" the man Sol was talking with says. "Anyway, I'm Dion from the temple of Diana. If you don't mind we can accompany you while we are searching for any ratman that still roaming the city"

"Sol Vestitor, a high school teacher. Thank you for offering, I appreciate it so much."

"Wow, you are good for a teacher. A trained soldier needs at least 50 shards to contend with two ratman in close combat." He compliments Sol.

"yeah, if not for that last move, it was borderline stupid" the rude guy started.

"well enough talking, Mr. Vestitor you can lead the way" Dion ignore the rude guy.

Sol leads them to his neighborhood, with Dion's group guarding him. Sol moves faster than he was, at this rate, he will get home in an hour.

On the way, they meet some group of ratman but Dion's group takes care of it easily. They are using a gun in one hand an knife on the other hand.

They kill the rats from distance with guns and when the rats get closer they block their attack with a knife while finishing them with a bullet to the head.

They look like a professional hunter, befitting the name of the temple of Diana. Diana is the Goddess of Hunt and The Moon, she is known to use a bow and as the sister of Apollo.

On the way, Sol helps them fight with the ratman as well. He doesn't use his rifle because of his inexistence accuracy and his limited ammunition.

He fights one ratman at a time with his knife. While he needs some time to get used to fighting, after some close call, in which he needs to be saved by Dion, he finally gets the hang on fighting.

Sol utilizes his superior range to dodge the ratman and hit their outstretched hand when they attack him. After they lost one or both arm functions then Sol aims for their vital organs.

When he arrived in his neighborhood, he already able to kill a ratman in a few exchanges. While some of it because of his increasing number of shards as he continues to kill rats, he also starts to get used to fighting.

Looking at his house, Sol steel his heart, "Now is time to fight my fear"

His neighborhood is in the same state of disarray as the rest of the city. Snows already bury his house for almost half a meter and blood-red snow can be seen near his house. Broken windows and walls can be seen as well.

"Do you want to check your house alone or you want me to go with you?" Dion looks at him.

"I'm fine, there is something I need to check," Sol says resolutely.

"Be careful then"

Sol nods and walks to the window. Because the door is blocked by snow, Sol can only get in from the window.

Inside the house is dark so he needs some time to get used to it. When his eyes adapt to the dark, Sol can see dozen of ratman corpses.

If something died outside, then they will be buried under the snow, but here in the house, it looks like a horror movie. Ratman's blood and guts are everywhere, Sol can see that there is somebody part missing or only left with bones.

From his bedroom, Sol can hear some noise, "Miya are you there?" Sol whispers. He pulls out his knife and ready it by his side.

From behind the door, a silhouette jump at him. It pushes him down to the floor while its head gets closer to his neck.

Sol can smell blood from its mouth. He has the urge to push it down and use his knife to protect himself but he holds it in.

"Master!! Nya!!" in front of him is Miya. Miya was a Ragdoll cat, with pure white fur and blue eyes.

Sol can see Miya's face, it looks like a cat head that as big as a human's head but with some feminine touch.

"are you Miya? Can you get down from me?" Sol says.

"No! If Miya gets down then Master will leave Miya again!" It says frantically.

After some persuasion, Sol finally gets it to let him go. Sol adopts Miya when he starts to live on his own, he gives it his last name and takes it as his family.

The Miya in front of him is looking very much different than the small ragdoll he remembered.

Now she has a body that looks like a human girl covered in white fur, she has a wide hip and small waist. Her chest fur is very thick and it swells out that makes her chest looks big. All over she is covered in white fur other than her belly.

"She would look very cute if not for the dried blood that sticks on her white fur." Sol muse to himself
