Chapter 99 Introductions
"Let us start with the introductions, shall we?" Nia smiled as she stared at Lulu, and only Lulu. "First of all, I am Nia, the self proclaimed aunt of Enigma, and the Queen of the only remaining dark elven stronghold."
Nia was the first to introduce herself, as her aura of a Higher Deity drifted out of her body. She made sure not to threaten everyone with, especially the young ones like Nuu, Neon and Night.
"I am Naylu, but you can call me Lulu. I am the current regent Monarch of this small gathering of ours, Green River Village. I am also the rising goddess of Elements." Lulu was next to introduce herself.
She had pride in her tone as she mentioned being the regent monarch of the Green River Village, which showed her importance and her close relationship with Enigma.
"That's good." Nia nodded, then turned to look at her children, "Introduce yourselves. You should show your manners."
"I am Sion." Sion was the first to speak, but her very introduction caused everyone, including her older and younger siblings, and mother to look at her in defeat.
"What?" She whispered to Soquel, who sat right besides her. Soquel did not whisper back, but responded nonetheless. "You should introduce yourself, get to know each other. Not tell us your name. We don't care about that."
"....."
"....."
Her words were harsh, yet on point. Sion nodded, and stood up to properly reintroduce herself. "I apologize. My name is Sion, the now shadow goddess, and shadow of the young lord, Enigma."
"Now that's much better." Soquel patted Sion's back as she sat down with a smile. Meanwhile, on the other side, Night frowned as her gaze was locked on with that of Sion.
She them sighed and stood up, "I am Night, younger sister of goddess Lulu. I am also the Shadow of the lord. Though, though I might not be a goddess yet, I am still more than useful as well."
She seemed threatened by the existence of Sion, as both a shadow goddess and also the shadow of Enigma. Both were positions she was working hard to fulfill herself. Now she was jealous, and angry at the same time.
"What's with her?" Soquel nudged Sion and whispered a question, and Sion did not answer. She knew why Night was bitter with her, and actually felt sorry for the poor little girl.
She was here first, yet her position was easily stolen by a second hand character that came later into the picture. That must be really sad. Of course, Sion did not view herself as a second hand character to Enigma's life.
"Well whatever. I am Soquel, the now goddess of geomancy, and the fists of the... lord. Hey, old man, got a problem with that?" Soquel also faced the same response as Sion, as to her, Ali was the one that stared at her defiantly.
"No mam. My name is Ali, the leader of the beastfolk, and father of Kuma here. I am the martial expert of this region, and will one day take my rightful position as the lord's fists."
He introduced himself right after, not forgetting to boldly challenge the very authority of a goddess. And not just a goddess, but a greater goddess.
"Oh? I look forward to that day bug guy." Soquel also did not back off. In fact, she loved the fact that Ali had a spine, a back bone, one large enough to carry he burden of challenging a goddess while he was so weak.
She was already liking these group of fellows. From Lulu defying Nia, then Night defying Sion, now this old man who called himself Ali, was defying her. Who next?
She was looking forward to it.
"My name is Sara. I am the witch goddess, and..." Sara introduces herself next, but before she could even finish her words, she smiled at one of the people on Lulu's side.
"And also the secretary of the young lord..." She smiled as she added that part, causing the person she was looking at to frown and immediately stand up in opposition.
"Nuu..." Lulu tried to calm down her sister, but she ignored her, and instead stared straight daggers at Sara, "I am Nuu, one of the two army commanders of Village, and an aspiring secretary to the lord."
She then pointed at Sara, especially her chest and added, "Just because you have a bigger blessing than I am, and also a goddess, does not mean that you're a better secretary. Prepare yourself, goddess Sara."
"....."
"....."
Nobody knew what she meant by bigger blessings, but thru did not bother asking either. And as for Sara, she laughed and responded, "Well well, if you lose, don't worry, big sister can breastfeed you with her bigger blessings."
She juggled her chest as she spoke, and honestly, they were a sight for the eyes. Everyone was speechless, including Nuu, as she slightly faltered.
"....."
"....."
"...I, I meant that you had a mich better starting point than I did. Not... that..." Even Nuu felt defeated at just glancing at Sara's blessed chest.
"Oh?" And Sara responded as such, not embarrassed whatsoever. She then added, "The offer still stands though. If you ever want to be comforted, big sister is here."
"No, I think... I'll pass." Nuu waa the one who looked down embarrassed instead, her face a slight shade of pink as she was blushing from shame.
"My my, what a pity. Hm? Old man, want a taste?" She wanted to give up and sit down, but feeling the intense gaze of Ali, she smiled and asked with a sultry tone.
"....."
And Ali was quiet, as if considering the offer. No, he genuinely was considering the offer!!
"Dad!!!"
"Sara!!!"
But at that moment, two people spoke at the same time, bringing back both perverted fellows back to Reality. Sara chuckled, and Ali was hella embarrassed.
"I sm really sorry my sister is like this. She apparently fell, when she was born." Sear sighed and stood up, then she introduced herself. "I am Sear, the acher goddess, or goddess of hunt. I am also the young lord's scout."
She then sat down, and the one to stand up next was Kuma, the one who was done reprimanding her father from his actions. "I am Kuma, the white flash of Green River. And my biggest dream as I become the lord's legs."
She said. She sid not gaze much at Sear, nor did Sear gaze at her. But it was obvious that both of them were still fighting for the same position.
A scout. And being the lord's legs, were almost the same thing. A scout goes back and forth, sending messages and doing errands for their lord. And that was what Kuma also aspired to be as well.
It's just that both sisters, were more mature than the others, and did not make a big deal out of their future rivalry. Or maybe, both had bigger problems to deal with at the moment.
"I guess it's my turn then. I am Sou, the demigoddess of sounds and music." Sou introduced herself with a light bow, she did not mention her relation with Enigma, afraid of causing more unnecessary rivalry.
"I guess you're the one the songs songs to the lord huh?" But the little Pixie, Gill Jr, did not seem to want to let that go.
"....."
Sou stared at Gill Jr in defeat, not sure what he was getting at. She also decided not to respond, for both side's safety and future relationship. Bit Gill Jr did not let go Eben now.
"I can sing better though. I can also dance, can you dance? No? Hahaha, I am better than you then. You might as well as just give up and give that rightful position to me." He declared quite arrogantly, his head held high.
Sou was a patient person, and managed to hold in her anger and dissatisfaction. "Please pardon him, he speaks nonsense most of the time. Thus is Gilletteronia Junior, the second generational Pixie Lord."
The one to introduce him was Neon, who had yet to introduce herself throughout the whole ordeal. Gill Jr was offended by her words, and her actions of getting in between what he was saying.
But it seems like she was not the only one that disregarded him, as Sara also commented in intrigue, "A Pixie? Aren't they like royalty even among the Spirits? There are actually some here?"
She was impressed, but Sear easily shrugged it off with a, "It's as expected of a place ruled by the freak of a kid, Enigma. Why am I even surprised."
Sara immediately kept quiet as well. Including everyone else from Nia's side. They immediately kept quiet and decided not to question anything anymore.
