"Okay, first we have to ..." I paused for a moment. "Black Pearl, what should I tell him?" I whispered.
"Hey you, follow my words! First, we have to find an object called Abla. Abla itself has the shape of a deer's antler but is blue in colour," he replied.
Then I repeated what Black Pearl said.
"What is certain is that the place is in the south," he continued.
Then Timothy held his chin and thought about solving the Black Pearl riddle. With a serious look, he started measuring and making maps on the ground, predicting which places we could go and what the objects might be.
While letting Timothy get serious, I decided to harvest apples for breakfast. Shortly after the harvest, the ground began to roar and shake slightly. From afar, we could see several people running with spears and earthen forks towards us.
"What are you doing?!" shouted Timothy, panicking while pulling my hand.
I followed the footsteps of Timothy, who pulled me while looking at the citizens who attacked us even though we were innocent.
"Wait, Timothy, it seems they are not ordinary people," I said, stopping my steps.
Then the citizens started to approach again and stopped when they saw Lavanya's magic outfit and my black eyes.
"Wh-who are you? What holy being are you?" the question made me blush, and I lifted my chin.
"Holy beings? No, no! You must have seen the wrong thing," said Timothy.
My heart and head swelled at the thought of their words; it would be fine if I was a little careless and indulged in their compliments.
Then they discuss each other, which makes me wonder if...
"Why did you join the discussion with them!" I shouted, annoyed at Timothy.
He just smirked and turned back to me. After a long time, they discussed something they finally came to me with a serious look.
"So, what are you guys going to do?" I asked arrogantly.
"Miss, do you want to come with us?" the man asked.
"What do you want?" I asked again suspiciously.
I didn't expect him to want to take me to his hometown. I know they have magic in everybody, but it is not as harsh as human magic.
Soft and calm magic was like the magic of the snake and Jervin.
"Okay!" I answered.
"Actually, I also want to know what happened after this."
We were led through the apple orchard and found a horse-drawn carriage behind which several small children worked to help the women.
While approaching them unconsciously, my hand grabbed some apples and started eating them.
"Haha, it's you," said Timothy.
"Honey, we're home!" one of them shouted at the woman in front of her.
Five men, six women, and 7 small children live in the house. A location far from the crowds but fertile, and their skills are enough to allow them to survive in the middle of this desolate meadow.
"We haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Hercules; he's Thor, Loki, Ares and Kratos." While pointing to his friend.
"Isn't your name outrageous?!" shouted Timothy, surprised by their names.
"Our village chief is called Zeus!" he continued in a tone that provoked Timothy.
"Haa! I don't know anymore if the gods will really curse you," Timothy was confused.
"Ahahaha, calm down, young man. It's just a custom where if a child is named with the name of a god, he will become strong and tough like the god," he joked.
"Loki? Really! Ah...! never mind," said Timothy.
Every man has a different weapon he uses. Hercules, he hangs a hammer on his waist, Loki holds an axe, Thor holds a spear, and Ares and Kratos use arrows.
Then they led me to the women. They were shocked when they saw my appearance. Eyes, forehead, clothes, they watched me inch by inch from my body.
"Wow, you have a great body."
"Where are you from, young lady?"
"How did you get here?"
"Where did you get this beautiful dress?"
I was cornered by the questions of mothers digging for my information because they were interested in me.
"Alright, we better take her with us!" said one woman who was quite burly.
"Where to?" I asked confusedly.
"Hell!" she whispered.
***
The pleasant aroma of flowers and the freshness of warm water make my body calm again from the tension of life I am experiencing.
"How is our hell?" asked the burly woman.
"Hmm," I replied.
"Hahaha, looks like she's enjoying this hot spring to the point where she can't answer Helda's question," said one of the women behind her.
"Um, this woman's name is Helda," I thought.
"Let us introduce ourselves. I am Savana, this burly woman is Helda, she is Matilda, Helen, Iena, and my daughter Reina." They started bowing their heads and talking about fun things together in the hot tub until they finally asked about me.
"So what's your name Miss?" asked Helda.
"I'm Hera from Zavax," I replied.
"Zavax? Matilda haven't you been through that area before?" asked Helda.
A blonde, white, and sexy woman came to me.
"Yep, that's right, I once sold some medicinal herbs to an old woman on the outskirts of town. If I'm not mistaken, he's called… bear realm?" he said doubtfully.
"Nilam Groutbear," I said.
"Why did I answer it…!" I thought as I rolled my eyes.
"Do you know the old woman?" Matilda asked, putting her shoulder to mine.
"Erm ... I only know her because she is quite famous," I said, pretending so they wouldn't suspect me.
Then Matilda leaned against the edge of the pool while tilting her head.
"Unfortunately, outsiders can't enter easily at this time," she complained as she let out a long breath.
"What happened?" Out of curiosity, I became interested in the information that happened in Zavax even though I had no reason to return.
Matilda glanced at me.
"Eh? what is it?" I asked awkwardly.
"Are you really human?"
"Matilda!" shouted Savana, who always wore a hair tie.
"Sorry," she said guiltily.
"Don't think about it; it looks like we've been in the bath for a long time. It's time to make dinner," said Helda.
The awkwardness between us is really thick. It seems they heard something before giving a surprised expression when we were carried away by the men.
We entered a fairly large wooden house. It has a large kitchen and dining table.
"Looks like they've lived together for quite a while."
The women started taking the ingredients and processing them. I continued to pay attention to the magic in their bodies.
"Lavanya, isn't this magic like the one we felt in Segat prison?" I whispered.
"Right, I also feel the same way. Black Pearl, what do you think?" asked Lavanya.
Black Pearl gave no response.
"What's with him?" it looks like he's resting.
"Huh, since when can you rest?" I asked in amazement.
"Hemm, it looks like it's not in our dictionary, but...." Lavanya replied.
"There seems to be something wrong with the Black Pearl!"
