Abby's POV
My face froze ove with a terrified smile plastered across my face, from the scene that unveiled before my very eyes. A small boy stood behind the woman, holding down a blue one piece bathing suit, revealing a plump pair of breasts.
So…this is what they looked like, I never expected this would be how I first saw a pair. Almost as if they cast a spell on me I couldn't tear my eyes from them, not even my eyelids could close. The lack of moisture slowly built up and it overwhelmed my burning eyes, giving me a window to escape.
My vision squandered around for anything else to direct my concentration at, something to get the image out of mind. But like my eyes, the image remained ingrained in my head, haunting me with the previous scene in which I experienced something holy.
I could hear Lucet loudly badgering Alia as to why he did that, though in normal Alia fashion he bowed and apologized responding with something I couldn't make out. Not that it mattered what they were talking about, I have been plagued by the goddess and no matter how much I try to forget it comes back clearer.
(''Hey boy, I see that you've matured a little.'') The demonic voice echoed through my mind, slightly relieving my body from its tenseness.
(''Do you see what I mean? She clearly has an ulterior motive, no woman would do that for no reason.'')
It's starting to piece together that there is more to Lucet than meets the eye. Not that I hopped to comprehend what could pas through a deity's mind at all. Alright I trust you Void, you are clearly onto something and currently you are the only one I can put my faith in.
(''Good. But uh…can you stop thinking about her boobs? They are appear in your mind and even I can see them.'')
Shit! I'm sorry, it just won't go away. Do you have any idea to get rid of the thoughts, before something happens.
(''I see. I guess you are an adult, its natural for your body to have those kinds of reactions-'')
Shut up and help!
(''Kekeke. Alright, I'm just messing with you. I can show you mine if you'd like, they are a bit bigger-'')
Please just leave me alone, seeing another pair might cause irreparable damages you fiend. (''As you wish, the offer still stands any time!'')
With that she faded from my mind, making me contemplate my life even more than before. I am both the luckiest and unluckiest man in the world, to witness a goddess' bosom, but to be already in love with another girl.
I need to head back towards the hut, if I bathe quickly there is the possibility to escape back to the cart. A place where Lucet's assets can't directly affect me, maybe even calm my beating heart. The water's clarity acted as mirror, reflecting my flushed face right back at me revealing just how flushed I was.
(''I'm sorry Abby, please forgive me. I didn't expect Alia to do that, he will be punished later so please. Forgive me.'') She was reaching out to me with her trembling right arm, her left arm was used to prop up the one piece suit.
It's easy to forgive her but the suspicions are already set, those are damages she can't hope to fix, not that she knows about Void analysing her. On top of that I can't believe Alia is the one at fault for this, surely Lucet asked him to do something along those lines.
(''Alirght, I forgive you. So let's just get the cleaning done and leave this place.'') I struggled to speak while also looking at her, despite the clothing I could make out the outline, the heat must've been playing games with my mind because I could make out skin through the fabric.
(''Very well. If that's what you wish Abby.'') She nodded and walked through the water, trying to push against the still water.
We reached inside of the hut where our supplies were located, ready to be used as they were designed. Three white towels were hung from the wall along with bars of soap on the table. Time to read myself of sins and grime!
==================================================
Roughly two hours have passed since the oasis visit. In contrast to the oasis, the cart ride through the empty dune sea was calming. I keep relapsing from the…wardrobe malfunction earlier but its better than before. Thankfully this time there were no nose bleeds, my blood stay inside of my body, circulating in the wrong spots.
Since then Lucet has been chewing out Alia for what he did, though he didn't look like he cared very much. She even forced him to kneel and apologize properly which was really embarrassing for me, knowing that an entity that serves a goddess would kneel before me.
I expected bloodshed in this adventure but I'm left amazed at how weird the outside world really is. Who would've expected a goddess to be searching for me, without any information aside from the fact that I will become incredibly powerful on a global level.
This is all too much to think about, thankfully though I have Void to analyse and help me grow as I need.
(''You called boy?'')
Her dark voice echoed through my even darker mind, though not empty, I felt objects which had not previously been there.
(''Oh you noticed! Yeah, I've made myself at home in your brain, even as far as making a home. Right beside it is a new building I created, its called the archives where I can find all your memories for when I need them.'')
How nice of you…wait! Don't go around peeping in my memories, I need some privacy. And can you just create anything you want up there? Sky is the limit?
(''Yeah boy, anything and everything, even fly if I so desire. But I can feel a potion brewing in your mind.'')
…
(''Sigh. You really want to know who your birthparents are? Very well, I will dive through your memories, but don't expect much to come from ones corroded by time.'')
Thank you. For now you are my best shot at figuring it out, its not a guarantee that I win the Kings Game. I hate to keep asking people about it, to burden them with my upsetting backstory, so for a long time you will be the last person I ask.
A silence hung in the air, thicker than fog and harder to speak through than water. For the first time in a while I was feeling…lonely. Sure, Lucet and Alia are right beside me but I after what Void told me, it's hard to trust them. For now I'll just have to pretend, even if its lying.
(''Lucet, what are you up to?'') I crawled on all fours towards the front, trying to evade the two sleeping bodies. She turned her head and smiled, it was a relief, not for me but for her.
(''Nothing really, just jotting down notes in my journal. I gave Alia a stern talking to so it shouldn't happen again.'')
(''But goddess you told me to-'')
(''Shut up before you get booted back to home.'')
She turned her head back to me with a wide smile spread across her face, almost as if it was carved with a knife. A fearsome goddess, who I hope not to get on the wrong side of. Void better tell me quick what her goals are, being left in the dark about something this important feels like a death sentence.
==================================================
Needless to say another few hours passed and we have since come to a halt. We have decided to rest along with the day shifting to night, tomorrow would be our last day in Howling Desert, and our entrance into the Greenwyrm Jungle.
(''Abby it's time to sleep, can you move off of the trap door?'') Lucet asked politely while she crawled towards me. I can't think of her the same way after earlier, after seeing…those. On the inside I enjoyed it as it was my first time, but something just isn't sitting right with me.
This whole aura thing is really confusing, and Lucet having two doesn't help me calm my nerves. I still appreciate her helping me out in the situation, and I am indebted to her, though I now have a favour for her.
(''-please move Abby.'')
(''Shit I'm sorry I didn't realise. Forgive me.'') I wasn't paying attention to her. A sad smile spread across her lips.
(''It's alright deary, just move your legs thats all.'') I did just as instructed and moved to the corner of the cart. She passed out the blankets and moved close to me, motioning me to get in with her.
(''Fine. Just for tonight.'')
(''Yay! Thank you deary!'')
I'll indulge her just this once, but I could feel something sinister calling me in, I'll do as she says for now.
(''Goodnight deary.'')
(''Goodnight.'')
