Chapter 39 - Answers from the Elven Elder with a Goddess

   Vanessa made her way over to the house that Lucell was standing in front of. "Is Sir Knight inside that little house Lucy?" She asked.

   "Yes Goddess." Lucell answered. "Miss Mia is inside the house."

   "Ok then." Vanessa said as she opened the tiny door and crouched her way inside. She made her way through the house following the voices that she could hear. Mia and the Elder were caught in a loop and Mia was unable to get any useful information from him. "Oh, Sir Knight!" Vanessa yelled when she finally got to where Mia was located. "I have been looking everywhere for you!"

   Mia turned and to her surprise the Goddess was right behind her sitting on her knees with a smile on her face. "Goddess!" Mia yelled back. "I can't believe you are here!"

   "It was quite the journey Sir Knight." Vanessa replied. "But I finally found you. I was worried you might have been hurt, so I came as fast as I could." Vanessa paused for a moment. "I see you got yourself cursed again." She said as she reached out her hand and placed it onto Mia. In an instant Mia was back to her old self. "All better now."

   "No!" Tolvash yelled from inside of Mia's head. "She made the puppy vanish!"

   "I will miss you, tiny puppy." Aquir responded. "It seems like only yesterday you showed up in our little world, but you truly made it deep within our hearts."

   "Oh, Breezy and Drippy!" Vanessa shouted out. "I am glad you are both doing well! What's this about a puppy?"

   "We had Mia's curse manifest itself in our realm as a puppy." Aquir replied. "When you ended the curse, you ended our friend."

   "Oh no!" Vanessa answered. "Here." She placed her hand back onto Mia and the puppy reappeared in her head. "I put the curse back, but I have rendered it completely inert. So, the tiny dog can stay, and you will have no ill side effects.

   "Thank you, Goddess!" Tolvash shouted. "Who's a good girl?!"

   "Woof!" The puppy barked.

   "So, what are you doing Sir Knight?" Vanessa asked. "Are you playing with my green babies?"

   "I am trying to locate someone called the divine one." Mia answered. "Lucy and I believe that the divine one is the best way to get home. The elder here is trying to give me the whereabouts of the divine one, but he has memory issues."

   "I don't have memory issues Alex!" Cole shouted back. "Who's your friend?"

   "Oh, he turned grey!" Vanessa was amazed. "I didn't know they could do that. Let me fix it." Vanessa then crawled over to where the elder was and picked him up with both of her hands. She brought him up to her face and gave him a kiss on his forehead. As soon as she placed her lips upon him his body glowed with a bright light that filled the room. When the glow faded the grey elf was no longer grey. He was back to being a young green elf. "There you go, all better now!" Vanessa said as she placed him back onto the ground.

   "What just happened?" Cole asked. "I feel like a dense fog has been lifted from my head."

   "So, this is Vanessa." Mia explained. "She is the Goddess of creation, and this kind of thing just happens a lot. You get used to it after a while."

   Cole took a moment to examine himself. "My, My I am a spry young thing again! That is just simply amazing. Thank you, Goddess." Cole paused for a moment. "Wait Goddess?! So, you are our maker! Where were you? We were massacred!"

   "Oh no!" Vanessa gasped. "Who hurt my babies?!" She asked.

   "The humans did!" Cole answered. "They slaughtered all of the other races! It was a bloodbath. Why didn't you help any of us Goddess?!"

   "Well, after I made all the races, I took a short nap." Vanessa answered. "When I woke up only the humans were left. I thought that all my other babies were just sleeping."

   "Sleeping?!" Cole responded back. "They are dead!"

   "No, when my babies sleep it is easy for me to wake them up." Vanessa replied. "They aren't dead."

   "Cole, Vanessa doesn't view life and death the same way as we do." Mia explained, trying to calm the situation. "Is there any chance you could tell us where the Divine One is? Now that you have your mind back."

   "I do suppose that's fair." Cole answered. "Okay, Miss Mia, you should head toward the tallest mountain in the lands, the Divine One told us that should we ever require him, we should travel there." Cole began pacing back and forth thinking. "The tallest mountain should be to the West. In the heart of the Undead lands."

   "Thank you very much!" Mia replied. "Is there anything else that we should know about the Divine One before we start our journey?" She asked.

   "Well, I suppose I will tell you what he told us elves." Cole explained. "This world is not the one we came from. This universe is not the universe we came from. He created this world for us to live on, but the essence of this universe is different. The fact that undead exist is a prime example."

   "Not our universe?" Vanessa asked. "A world he made?" Vanessa thought to herself. "Makes sense now!" She shouted out. "Come Sir Knight, I wish to speak to this Divine One." Vanessa said as she made her way out of the house.

   Upon exiting the house Lucell helped Mia and Vanessa to their feet. Mia exited the front door at an angle this time as to not get stuck again. "Miss Mia!" Lucell shouted out. "Your curse is gone!"

   "Yes, I am back to my normal self." Mia answered. "We should head to the Divine One as soon as we can."

   "Oh, you have his location?" Lucell asked.

   "It was a pain, but yes. Thanks to the Goddess we now have his location." Mia replied. "Had the Goddess not shown up I do not think we ever would have gotten the location." Mia turns to the Goddess. "You sure did want to leave in a hurry Goddess. Normally you want to stay and interact with your babies."

   "This world bothers me Sir Knight." Vanessa responded. "All of my babies here are suffering, I want to meet the one responsible for causing my babies so much suffering."

   "Okay." Mia said. "I really don't think the Divine One meant to cause suffering though."

   "If they meant to or not is irrelevant." Vanessa snapped back. "If he made this world, he should have made it better. It is covered with some sort of corruption. It is even on you and Lucell." She then placed her hands on the two of them causing them to glow for a second. "There now you are purified."

   "Oh yeah!" Tolvash shouted out. "Back to full power! Or at least almost full power."

   "Same here." Aquir chimed in. "Must be because of the different universe."

   "So, can I fly again?" Mia asked Tolvash. "That would be really helpful."

   "Flight is still out of reach." Tolvash replied. "Sorry. Maybe it is more like quarter power? I might have over sold it on the full power wording."

   "You did." Mia sighed. "Looks like we are going to take the carriage. Flight is still out of the question."

   "On the plus side you should be able to use attack spells!" Tolvash tried to cheer Mia up some. "Not like before, where you could wipe out entire armies. But you should be able to launch small balls of compressed air."

   "Healing magic should also work on a smaller scale as well." Aquir stated.

   "So where are we headed?" Lucell asked the ladies.

   "To the tallest mountain in all the lands." Vanessa answered.

   "It is to the West, in the heart of the Undead territory." Mia continued. "Do you have some of your abilities back Lucy?"

   "I believe so, let me try something." He said as he grabbed Mia and scooped her up with one arm. "It appears that I have most of my strength back. Holding you is as easy as lifting a feather."

   Vanessa looked at the pair. "Looks like you two have become closer." She said with a smile. "Have you made me any hybrid babies yet?"

   "What?! No Goddess!" Mia shouted out while blushing. "We haven't even taught about having sex!"

   "Why not?" Vanessa asked. "Is Lucy's penis too big or small?" She asked. "I can change the size of it to fit whatever you need."

   "I am just fine Goddess thank you!" Lucell shouted out while putting Mia in the carriage.

   "Oh, okay then, just let me know if you are scared of it and want it to be smaller." Vanessa smiled.

   "That sounds…" Mia started. "I mean No!" Mia regained her senses. "Lucy is fine the way he is."

   "So why haven't you had sex?" Vanessa asked. "Lucy if you don't find Sir Knight attractive in any way, I can change her for you. Larger breasts, smaller breasts, different hair or skin color. Whatever you want Lucy."

   "Miss Mia is perfect the way she is!" Lucell responded. "Her beauty has no equal!"

   "Oh, that's mean Lucy!" Vanessa teased. "I thought you said I was the prettiest."

   "I mean uh, Goddess." Lucell stumbled with his words. "You made Mia perfect, there's no need to change her."

"I just don't understand why you two won't make me babies." Vanessa sighed. "Let's go meet this Divine One." She said as the carriage began to move. With that they were now on their way into the heart of the undead territory.
