I walk into the heavily woodsy area and take the path to the right into a small town not too far from Nisha's place. Turns out its called Elwick. The people seemed really friendly and as soon as I walked into town they offered me a place to eat and a place to stay. That or they must've never seen a dullahan before. I mean this could be my chance to blend in with the rest of the town folk. What I noticed right away was that all the young kids were gathered into a circle playing with a hacky sack. They were all sooo cute and I head patted them equally.
"Whoaaa y..your Luna Hrotha right? Wow. My gammy Hilda was right about you. She predicted you'd visit our little town and bring merriment and joy back here. Hehe." The little ginger girl giggled. The other kids look no more than six years old. They tossed and roll a shiny rubber ball and go back to their game. I think to myself how weird it was for an little girl to mention something so specific. I shake it off for a moment and walk into a clothes store to disguise myself.
Pretty dull and drab clothing selection here. Long brown dresses with white puffy tops. Mainly for women and the seasons. There were a few different colors,once again though also dull and drab. Some of the clothes looked so desaturated it could've been left in the wash forever. I say nothing and buy the dress. I thank the shopkeeper and look for a nearby bathroom to get changed in. Luckily there was one about fifteen feet away from me. I go there and start to undress until I heard a feminine voice. "Finally I can relax and enjoy myself. Man. To think of all the days I spent on the road,paths and even uneven ground. Honestly I could write a book about it." The voice said. I also see black boots from under the stall. I finished getting dressed up and happened to catch a glimpse of the woman the voice belonged too. She had green hair sticking out from under her hat and was walking to the right. I figured if I caught up with her stealthily maybe this is the girl Momma wants me to bring.
I wash my hands and pack my other clothes in my backpack and wait a few seconds to give this mysterious lady a head start. Once she's nearly outta sight I make my move. The woman walks pass the clothing store,the kids,some random boxes laying all over the ground and even an old abandoned building. She stops to see if anyone is following her. I hide behind the said abandoned building and keep quiet to the best of my ability. No good she slowly but surely starts walking my way. Her footsteps grow louder and louder until she is mere inches from discovering me. I think quick and fly up to the roof. It's very rickety and unstable. Even me gently tapping it with my toes causes the roof to shake a little.
The mysterious lady stood in the spot I was hiding in and looked all around before leaving. She seemed to be carrying something. Sort of looked like a gun. What ever it is I count my lucky stars I'm immortal. Otherwise I'd be grated cheese. I give the woman one whole minute to leave. I follow and see her walk into a large bar named. "Gernuss Ventre's Ale Wonderment. " I automatically just called it the Ale Shack, cause this place is shoddy and it's people every bit of sketchy. I walk in after the lady and I already hear them cat calling her. Some start trying to get grabby but are immediately put down by her superhuman reflexes. A simple shift in her movement knocks some fat drunk out of his seat. I mean his fault for trying to grab her behind.
I stop and order the most safest thing to drink which was water. The bartender looks at me and doesn't avert his gaze. He cleans an beer mug and gestures to me to lean forward. I do and man his breath reeks. "I don't know who you are,but ordering water here can get you some rather mean looks. I usually don't do this but you look some what familiar.
You remind me of an young girl. Hmm can't say I remember the name but our town feared her. Order some beer and maybe I'll tell you what you need to know." The bartender says. I usually never drink but I order an beer anyway. The bartender smirks and asks to see more of my face. I show him and he becomes speechless. I'm very confused as to what's happening all the other people that were in that bar saw his reaction and then glance at me. I awkwardly smile and also waved before I decide to leave which didn't go well as the bartender had a rather rotund fellow guard the only exit. He stood at six foot four and was an chunky fellow. From the looks of things. Everyone had an knife,sword or even an gun pointed at me.
"You decide to come on back and torment us some more eh? Haven't you caused enough pain for I dunno generation and generations to come?" The bartender said. Still confused.I remember Momma's story on how she killed an bunch of people.
Makes sense as to why they may have some animosity with her. What I didn't understand is why was water such an bad thing to order at a bar? Hmm. No matter I snap myself out of my thoughts and stand point blank in front of this large guy's gun. Knowing that this mystery lady is here in the bar with me. I better pull off a good act.
I fall to my knees and make my best attempt to play off as a weeping coward begging for her life to be spared. "Please oh please!!" I yelled I force tears outta my eyes and put my two hands together interlacing my fingers. "I..I'm just an blind girl..I..I didn't even know what place I walked into. I lost my cane in a ravine not too long ago so I used the walls of your building to guide me and keep balance.
Y..you wouldn't kill an blind girl would you?" I asked. I heard guns lowering and some of the people in the bar apologized to me. I made sure to clue in I was legally blind to avoid any more suspicion. "You see..My vision is going and I find it hard to focus on one thing at an time." I said thinking I won them over the clicks over every gun rose again towards me as they all said one name in unison.
"SKYRA!!" Is what these people shouted. The bartender put his beer mug down and clapped his hands slowly. "How stupid can you be Skyra. Oh how you made an name for yourself. Considering the dirty deeds you had to do just to DO IT!!" He exclaimed. "You see you murdered the siblings,cousins,grandparents and even parents of us. We as the Elwick people will not let this stand dullahan. You were wanted for decades and the best part is...you walked right back here thinking your invincible. How naive. Hehe. She calls herself an goddess now huh? Well oh goddess can you save yourself from a barrage of bullets?" He asked sinisterly. " Put your hands up and continue to stay on your knees, this is the execution you deserve." The bartender said while taking out an shotgun aiming directly at my face.
"Well any last words before we all send you to the depths of Hexus?" The man asked. I said nothing and remained motionless. The triggers were pulled and in an instant I heard all the guns go off. As expected though I was indeed shot but stood tall. The bartender and his motley little crew of misfits and drunks were in awe. They started to panic and I even heard a lady scream."The stories are true she is the Goddess of Space and Time.You fools now we will be punished for defying her.!!" An woman rushed to my feet and kneeled before me. My wounds healed instantly almost like I wasn't even shot, even the shotgun shells did little damage.
This definitely caught the mystery lady's attention she paid for our drinks and simply said one word that spooked everyone into submission. "Fafir". and flew us far into the woods into a small hill like lair of sorts. She put on a black cloak it hid her face very well. She sat down in front of me and asked who I was.
"There is no way in Nius and Neo you..you survived Skyra..I..I watched you die, b..but have you returned to seek vengeance on us. Well..You already did the newspapers cover that horrendous event. I know you see me as a coward but..I..I couldn't deny my commander's orders. She would've killed me if I intervene. In a way..your rampage was a blessing because of you I travel and im greatful. Neo is safe and our world is safe..well was until Fafir of course intervene and from what I hear Nea has some bogus prophecy. Some divine protector name Aether is gonna defeat him. Hmmph. Absolute hog wash if you ask me." She said.
She removes her hood and offers me some water. It seems no one at least in this village knows that my mom had an second child. Oh boy the shock they'll get when I'm saving their asses. I bring forth the question to this green haired woman. "You talk of Skyra as if you know her. Well me in this case hehe. Let me ask do you know of her daughter?" I say. The woman seems stunned and in disbelief. Her eyes widen with surprise as she remembers Skyra does have an daughter.
"Of course The Ojoo Queen. The one who demanded the Neotic Council to make her people and her species be treated as equals. Azou is her name. She has light blue skin,long black hair and beautiful green eyes just like her mother. I've only seen her as an child but..how do you know Skyra has daughters? Unless your masquerading as her you imposter!! Reveal yourself before I strike you were you stand." She threaten.
"Okay strike me. I'm getting tired of your bullshit any way." I said unafraid. The woman grabbed a large stick and struck me across the head. Of course my body became limp and I faded into subconsciousness. Only for a second I rose back up and laughed off this lady's attempt to harm me. "S..shut the fuck up!! W..who are you what do you want from me!!?" She yelled. I could tell she was scared. Her hands shook and she stammered with her words. I rose from my seat and revealed to her that I am also Skyra's daughter. "W..what? Y..you look exactly like her..well almost your hair is longer than hers and..your eyes..there blue. Y..you must've been blind at one point..A.are you the one they call Aether?" She asked. She bowed before me and kissed my feet.
I giggled caused it tickle and smiled. "Actually I'm Luna,Aether is just another title I go by. Nea and her prophecy reign true hehe. Rise to your feet." I said. The green haired lady rose and removed her cloak she wore an black and white dress that showed more leg than anything. It was skin tight and her fingerless gloves and boots matched. Those eyes however were spot on with mom's description. "Forgive me mighty Luna..I..I just had an hard time with your mother and...I blame myself for what happened that day..I was afraid she would kill me when she was resurrected from the dead.
So I ran. But to see that your living proof she's an much different person now,makes me happy. I am honored. Also forgive me your grace. I'm being rude. I am Mikki Orn. Former Neotic Space Brigade cadet and supervisor. Now just a weary traveler." She said all while still bowing. Her outfit was covered in dirt and looked worn. Her breath stinked a bit and I suppose she never heard of an shower.
"You also whacked me with a fuckin stick. But let bygones be bygones hehe. Let's get you bathed first okay? Then my mother would like to see you." This brought tears to her eyes. She wept with tears of sadness. I simply hugged her and teleported her to the nearest river and gave her a bar of soap. I stole it from the restroom that was in the bar. I sat behind an tree and rested while Mikki cleaned herself.
Well until an blond woman with dark eyes also showed up she checked to see if Mikki was alright and then confused me for Momma. "Well well well if it isn't miss big shot. Been a while hasn't it? Oh Goddess of Space time what has caused you to finally descend from on high to grace us mere mortals?" She said sarcastically. I laughed as this blonde lady quickly was reminded by Mikki that I was the second born daughter of Skyra. She giggled and picked me up with the least effort. "Oh my goodness your so cute. I could just eat you up hehe. Man you are short though. What are ya three feet?" She said trying to measure my height.
"I'm Luna and I'm five foot two ya giant!!"I fired back. She hugged me again and respectfully bowed. "Well please to meet the Luna that Nea spoke of hehe. Must be nice having god like blood huh?" She asked. I smiled and shrugged it off. Mikki dried off with an towel the blone lady gave her. She introduced her as Corotani Jade. The blonde lady bowed again and chuckle.
"Did you happened to know your mom slept around? You may have more than just one sibling hehe. But who am I kidding she's a fox. The things I'd do if I got her before your dad did." Corotani says. Mikki elbows her in the gut and puts back on her dress. "Apologies for my friend. Um Coro. This young lady has asked me to come with her. She says Skyra wishes to see me. Maybe you should come also. It's a lot better than sleeping in a secret hideout. Who knows we'll have an place to stay and food to eat instead of scavenging. " Mikki points out. Corotani brushes her well kept blonde locks and thinks on it. "Seeing you get your ass handed too is pretty amusing haha. Ah what the hell sure. Hey LuLu. Call up your mom so we can leave this shit show.
Besides. I want some R and R with her just to bring back the good memories. " She said. I do just that and an portal opens. We rush to it before it closes and before ya know it. Grandma Umi hugs the two mischievous girls and immediately permits them to stay.
"Been a few decades. You two sure know how to stay fit though. Um yes. Skyra,Elena and Zuma's family are all here along with Luna's friends and my great great granddaughter Gala." Umi smiles. Gala welcomes the the duo and they look at me than her. "She's yours? Luna I know we just met but..Your way to young to be a mom. I mean look at those..uh...um...wow she's busty. Must run in Elena's family. So what's the deal with this chick?"
Corotani asked. "Long story short. She's a Drenukk and I adopted her as my own. The family accepted her and she looks like me just shorter and obviously grey skinned with dark eyes. But to me she's my Gala bean." I say hugging Gala who never stops being cute and clueless. One time she literally walked through an mountain trying to follow directions with a map.
We show the duo two empty rooms. Papa welcomes the girls with very powerful hugs and called Momma from downstairs.
I got changed into the clothes I wore before I entered that village. Momma was in workout gear and looked exhausted. Once she saw Mikki and Corotani the atmosphere changed. Momma immediately teleported as far from the palace as possible. I followed and man oh man. The look she gave these two had them shaking in there boots. "O..oh Skyra..Your lookin well hehe..heh. Look I know we all had our differences and everything but that was the past. Thanks to your mini me over there. We all reconnected right?" The shaking blonde asked trying not to piss herself.
Apparently Momma is just plain scary when she doesn't say anything. Mikki hugged Momma very tight and started to cry. Momma didn't move. Except her aura flared and her hair turned white again. I braced myself in case things got hectic and I had to stop her. But to my surprise she hugged Mikki backed and kissed her head."I forgive you. I was so blinded by my rage back then I didn't see what it did to other people. The murders and lewd activity had an lasting effect. But I changed myself not just for me..but my babies. My Azou,MY ZUMA,MY GALA and my LUNA. My beautiful daughter who is the spitting image of me. Your Momma's greatest blessing. Because of you..You inspired me to be kind,benevolent and peaceful instead of being angry,hateful and deceitful. For this I say. Thank you and Cortoani, Mikki..welcome home." Momma said. Tears streamed down her face.
I could tell that animosity was completely gone. The three hugged for hours I decided to give them some time to themselves. Beautiful.
