Vol.1 Ch.52 Being Watched by the Goddesses.


    While the carriage continued carrying the group eastward towards the city of Ironside. Two entities were observing them from high up in the clouds. They were the two goddesses, Nils and Nebulus, also known as the Twins of Mournhold, who were second-generation Dark Elven Gods of Tertius. And they were having fun watching their "Chosen One" struggling through her journey to survive while at the same time, fighting to keep her old identity.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Did you see that? Her eyes can''t stop looking at the prince." Nils giggles.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I do say sister, you found yourself a good ''Chosen One''. She hassted the longest out of all of our others." Nebulus says with a chuckle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, usually the others would have given up and lost their life in some way or another," Nils says with an amused smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How long do you think she’ll make it?" Nebulus asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t know. But I''m enjoying the ride, while itsts." Nils says with a grin.


    They both watched Ryan as she sat in the carriage trying to avoid eye contact with Quinus and blushing like crazy when he would lock eyes with hers. It took all of Ryan''s willpower just to break away from Quin''s golden eyes and it was making her look ridiculous in front of the prince. The twins burst intoughter again at Ryan''s futile actions.


    <span ss="aiText">"I hope you''llst a lot longer than our previous Chosen Ones<span ss="editText"> because I haven''t been this amused<span ss="aiText"> for a very long time,<span ss="editText">"<span ss="aiText"> Nils says in betweenughs.


    <span ss="aiText"><span ss="retryDeletionText"><span ss="undoDeletionText">"Indeed, she is an entertaining one. I''m looking forward to seeing how this little game will y out." Nebulus agreed.


    The Twins of Mournhold continued tough for quite some time until they felt the presence of another God, or should we say another goddess of the kingdom of Fiafyr.


    She was known as the Goddess of Natural Bnce and goes by the name, Iyomelka. She has many followers who worship her in a variety of ways but she prefers to stay out of her mortals'' lives so they can make decisions on their own. This is one of the main reasons why the Kingdom of Fiafyr is one of the strongest human Kingdoms in all of Tertius.


    Some say she is a goddess of life and death, while others believe she is a god of knowledge, wisdom, or magic. The holy clerics have a hard time deciphering her intentions as she doesn’t speak to them. But she lets her presence be known in little ways. Like the birth of Quinus from the infertile Queen Rianna or when Rianna first came to the Kingdom''s Church and kneeled before her idol which glowed for the first time in a hundred years.


    Nils had an unamused look on her face while watching her "Chosen One" and said, "I thought you hated being involved with mortals."


    "You always mistake guidance for entertainment, Nils. I let my people live their lives as they see fit, for the most part, but do you think I hate them? No, Nils... I don''t hate my creations, I want them to flourish as most Gods would. But you two always loved teasing yours! I don''t know how you haven''t been exiled off of Tertius. Someday, the fates won''t be so forgiving," The human goddess replied with annoyance.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Nebulus chuckled at the remark and said, "If we wanted to be chastised, Iyomelka. We would go to our mother."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh? You two have cut yourselves off from the other gods for so long that you haven''t realized what''s happened to her." Iyomelka replied.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This caught the curiosity of the twins as they looked at the first-generation goddess in the distance.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What happened to her?" Nebulus asked with a raised brow.


    "Her people have been eradicated and have been exiled by Baphomet the Demon God and Lynnic the High Elf God. You two are thest of the Dark Elven Gods," Iyomelka replied with a straight face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Nils and Nebulus kept their cool. "S-So we are the only ones left now?" Nils asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, the Dark Elves will go the way of the Halflings soon, and you have five Gods that are telling their people to hunt down thest of the Dark Elves so they can find you two and exile you out to the void of chaos with the other dead gods," Iyomelka answered.


    "I have to ask... Are you one of the five, Iyomelka?" Nebulus asked with clenched fists.


    "Of course not. I''m only telling you this as a courtesy to yourte mother. She was one of the few friends I made when we all created our people on Tertius." Iyomelka exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So you came here to gloat? Is that it?" Nils questioned.


    <span ss="editText">Iyomelka shook her head, "Such disappointments. You''ve been given golden opportunities with having a Demi-god being born right under your nose. What''s her name? Yoona, I believe?... And she is the only reason your people haven''t been wiped off the face of Tertius and she''s losing faith in you two. On top of that, the fates have smiled upon you after getting a chosen one who''s kept their sanity after using the full body summoned method! Do you know how many summoned have taken their own lives once they''ve been removed from their home!? Not only has she<span ss="aiText"> survived, but she''s also been keeping herself sane enough to not have gone mad from the shock! She''s been doing the impossible. Yet, you two have done nothing with it<span ss="editText"> but actively try to sabotage her with unreasonable demands!?... It''s you who deserve to be exiled, not your mother!"<span ss="aiText"><span ss="retryDeletionText"><span ss="undoDeletionText"> the human Goddess eximed.


    <span ss="editText">This was one of the main reasons Gods chose the soul method over the body method for their “Chosen Ones” because they would ept the new world they''ve been brought to once they''ve experienced their own death in their old world. Given a second chance at life<span ss="aiText"> and are eager to find a purpose in the new world they have been given. But <span ss="editText">the<span ss="aiText"> few <span ss="editText">Gods that <span ss="aiText">have chosen the body method have <span ss="editText">always struggled with keeping t<span ss="aiText">he<span ss="editText">i<span ss="aiText">r <span ss="editText">Summons from<span ss="aiText"> going insane<span ss="editText"> after fighting their new reality<span ss="aiText">. It takes a certain amount of mental strength to withstand the shock and trauma that the body method brings to its victims. And <span ss="editText">it usually ends with them falling into despair. Which mostly resulted in themmitting suicide or<span ss="aiText"> being killed by the very people <span ss="editText">who<span ss="aiText"> brought them there.<span ss="userText"> The twins'' chosen one was a mira<span ss="editText">c<span ss="userText">le<span ss="aiText"> in itself as she had done the impossible and managed to keep her sanity<span ss="editText">. But she was st<span ss="aiText">il<span ss="editText">l<span ss="aiText"> fighting her new reality<span ss="editText"> after the mind stunt they pulled. If they didn''t do anything she would have epted her new self in time<span ss="aiText"><span ss="retryDeletionText"><span ss="undoDeletionText">.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The Twins of Mournhold started to feel dread for the first time in their existence, upon realizing that they didn''t have the protection of their mother or other Dark Elven Gods as they had before.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Iyomelka continued, "I probably wouldn''t have said anything if it wasn''t for your Summoned saving my Summoned’s life in the Labyrinth. And he also has taken a liking to her. So I''ll give you two a chance. Stop fucking around with your Summoned''s mind. She''s a straight woman and she was going to ept it sooner until you two pulled that stupid stunt with mind linking to his old lover that he can''t go back to.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You’re putting her in peril for the future because of it and I pray she survives it so my Summoned can bond with her. In all my years I have never seen the offspring of two Summoneds. But I have a feeling that won''t happen now... She will die because of your interference, Yoona will forsake you for all your failed Chosen Ones and then you two will be banished off of Tertius... I am done entertaining you two."


    <span style="font-weight:400">With that Iyomelka disappeared leaving Nils and Nebulus to digest everything she just said.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nils, should I make Rya my Chosen One so I can give her my gift of space-time magic?" Nebulus asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"W-We can''t risk it. She might die if we overload her... We might have fucked up this time, Nebulus... What if she dies on us?" Nils asked nervously.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I-If that happens, we''ll be in big trouble. But we still need to tell her about this! Can you reach her or show up in her dreams?" Nebulus asked.


    <span>"I used up too much of my primordial essence to contact her. I think I''ll need a month to get enough to do it again." Nils says in a worried tone.


    <span>"A month!? I could have sent a message to her if I didn''t use up most of my essence! DAMN IT NILS! Why did you make me do the mind link with that Earthling!" Nebulus yelled while shaking her sister by the shoulders.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"N-Nebulus!? It was both our ideas! Don’t use me as your scapegoat! We''re both to me!" Nils cried out while being shaken around.


    <span>Nebulus stopped shaking her sister and looked at her with sad eyes, "Do something!? Give her all your gifts, Dammit!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m doing it! But Ryan won''t know that she can use all the elements except time and space magic until I can talk to her! We can only hope Iyomelka is wrong about Ryan''s peril." Nils says.


    <span>"Dammit!! Maybe we can tell Yoona!? And maybe she could reach Ryan to teach her enough magic to save herself!?" Nebulus yells out in frustration.


    <span>"Yes! We should see Yoona and tell her to teach Ryan how to use other magic before I can. But those bastards from the Divine Three are keeping her busy with their wars, so we can''t just pop in whenever we feel like it. They''re probably watching her right now." Nils says with annoyance.


    <span ss="aiText">Nebulus looked at the carriage, "<span ss="editText">We have no choice but to <span ss="editText">contact Yoona<span ss="aiText"> the old<span ss="editText">-<span ss="aiText">fashioned way. And hopefully, the fates are on our side for once<span ss="editText"> and she cane to Ryan''s rescue<span ss="aiText"><span ss="retryDeletionText"><span ss="undoDeletionText">."


    <span ss="aiText"><span ss="retryDeletionText"><span ss="undoDeletionText">"Let''s just hope the fates aren''t too mad at us to ignore our pleas," Nils said.


    <span>The Twins of Mournhold then fly toward the other side of the continent looking for Yoona. Meanwhile, Percy, Dalia, and Quinus were enjoying the view of the ins and chatting amongst themselves while the summoned girl was trying not to stare at the handsome prince.
