"Uh… hi there," I said awkwardly in reply, unsure of what to say back to a god when they greeted you.
"Long time no see, Sister Aquira," Terrarim said in my soul, and Aquira nodded as if acknowledging his words.
"Yes. It has truly been a long time. And Aerim… you, I see, are as annoying as ever."
"E-Eek!" Aerim squealed as she was caught, and obediently took off her invisibility. She had been trying to sneak up behind Aquira and prank her, but it failed miserably. After all, Aquira's known Aerim since… well, since the world was created.
"In any case…" Aquira cleared her throat. "You passed all of my tests, so you shall receive your due reward. Come closer, child."
It felt weird being called a 'child' by a woman who looked to be not much older than I was, but I knew better than to argue with a god. She could pass for my older sister, but it's whatever.
Stepping closer to her until we were mere inches apart, I came to a stop.
