my first stop was Jyn, to ask if I actually solved their problem or not, turns out I actually did, who knew she was asking me to kill a manticore at first?
well she did, tried to tell me when I was zoned out, just another reason for me to stop doing it, maybe I'd actually learn something sooner rather than later.
Jyn thanked me, saying to keep in contact, I waved, keeping in contact probably wasn't gonna happen, I had things I needed to do, answers to find, experiments to run, limits to push.
[your pocket world will do the trick for most of those things]
I have a what now?!
[the same thing the primal mother put you in at first, but your own]
first off she's not my mother, technically that's nature, and even then....
[noted, no more calling people here your parents]
the whole parents topic was sore for me, sure I could go about life here as normal, even fake enjoying it but....if my parents on earth ever knew just how far I'd fallen from who I once was....could they even look at me anymore?
[doesn't matter]
yes, yes it does, to me.
I was about to rebut with something else, the chance to do so slipping from between my fingers as a winged figure bombed through the trees, crashing to my feet.
I sighed, reaching down to help the winged figure, a dirtied white robe shifting, revealing an abnormally attractive woman, even more so than the succubus I've seen so far.
"holy hell."(syn)
Jyn smacked my shoulder, apparently I wasn't supposed to say that in front of this woman, I'm still gonna do it next time, say whatever I want.
the white winged woman stood, brushing off the dirt and mud caked all over her....robes....dress?.....something.
"who's this?"(syn) I asked Jyn, she looked confused before a dawning of realization.
"I forget you don't exactly keep up with current events."(jyn)
the woman's eyes tracked to me, starting an odd glow before she dropped down to her knees in a bow fast!
it shocked Jyn and it definitely confused me.
"I'm sorry my lord, I wasn't aware of your status."(winged woman) said, still kneeling/bowing in some strange as pose.
Jyns face changed, it seemed something clicked in her head.
"you reached mid tier god, didn't you? it's why we moved up to minor gods."(jyn)
I nodded, finally realizing a little of why this was happening, not the whole picture, but some.
"lemme guess, she kinda has to show respect to gods at and above mid tier?"(syn)
the woman nodded, I think? it was hard to tell in her odd pose.
"you can stand now, please don't do that again."(syn)
the woman stood, thanking me, finishing her sentence with my lord, I hate it!
"what's wrong brother? not comfortable with being called lord?"(jyn) teased, seemingly unaware of how accurate she was.
a reluctant nod from me sent Jyn to utter silence for a moment, the winged woman clearing her throat, breaking the silence and drawing our attention.
"the primals of the neighboring planet have requested aid from a calamity god, you."(winged woman) said, making eye contact with me after saying that last part.
"they do know what calamity means, right?"(syn) I asked, fishing for some sort of confirmation here.
she nodded.
"I am nature's messenger, sent between each nature being with messages, she deemed this up to your abilities."(nature messenger)
I groaned, this was gonna get complicated and I don't wanna do complicated.
"I swear my lord it's a simple request."(nature messenger)
fuck, this wasn't gonna be simple was it?
"all you need to do is come with me and spar with some other primals, they need to check your strength before informing you of what they need help with."(nature messenger)
nothing is ever as easy as going somewhere to help anymore.
right now I feel like my life is nothing but never ending side quests.
but I relented, giving in to puppy dog eyes from both women, not fucking fair at all, manipulative assholes.
Jyn thanked me, waving good bye as she soared off into her palace.
lucky bastard.
being homeless is really starting to suck, I've been alive for how long now? and i don't even have a shack.
[you've been alive in this life for 7,507 years]
the news really seemed to hit me hard, I'd lived for so long, of course half of it was unconscious but still, holy shit!
"you coming my lord?"(nature messenger) called out, waving for me to follow her into the skies, her wings flapping steadily.
I sighed, pushing down my thoughts and feelings on the matter and sprouted my own wings, flapping my arms downward as my body bolted into the sky, the woman rushing to catch and keep up.
we soared past clouds, past the atmosphere, entering the black nothingness dotted with lights and balls of color, planets and stars.
"please don't destroy this planet, the winged one was an exception, the only exception."(nature messenger)
I was about to follow when my vision became blurry, my body feeling weaker.
the messenger gave me a concerned look, approaching in the zero gravity slowly, hands out stretched and voice calling out, distorted, quiet.
an odd sense overwhelmed me, my body constricting and seizing, my wings tearing themselves apart as the planets gravity began to yank at me, pulling me back downward, my eyes closing as I didn't have the strength to keep them open anymore.
the whistling of the wind dimming so completely until the only thing left was total silence, total weightlessness.
