" what is wrong with you two." Amelia said after she entered the trade office
" we are just working through something. " I answered her before turning away from her back to Elise " yeah you wanting to be a cheating bastard!"
I was genuinely starting to getting frustrated now, how could she think that after what we been through " I told you the reason I invited her here was because her cooking was really good and though it would help boost our economy an fame, not! Because I wanted her to be close to me ."
" dont you have somewhere else to be like killing something or getting injured."
I nodded " ok since you clearly don't want to listen to reason I'll leave...but know I truly dont look at her like that and it hurts that you think that I would willingly do this to you."
Turning i left the room on the verge of a eruption , feeling i needed to cool off i decided to go for a walk through the town...my town
Slipping through the crowded opal street, my mind crowded with thoughts until a person caught my attention standing in front of one of the few tree-houses in the town,though this one was more like a tree-hall decorated with some sort of tapestry
" what is all this." I asked Katrina's mother who was standing outside the wood hall
" this is our place of worship to our great goddess of the moon and passion lunala... and you." Just as i heard her last words i got a good look of a section of the tapestry on the halls walls
It depicted elves praying to the moons as a eclipse happened, in the next section it showed a man below the eclipse as someone of the elves praying were depicted turning a darker shade of skin
" what the hells did you do." The other me that never strayed to far from me smiled " it feel like I've said this before, that's for me to know and you to find out....if you can"
I grit my teeth in anger this was giving me a bad feeling " is something wrong...if your slighted by the last panel worry not it is the princess we believe her to be a reincarnation of the moon goddess
Looking to the last section I saw the man now holding hands with a very elegant an well dressed elf beside a lake as the moons reflected of it's surface creating a beautiful picture the vibe of this one was a lot lighter then the other two
" no its not that but I should get going." I teleported back to the office " uhh." When I appeared Elise was being embraced by Amelia as she cried
Elise quickly hide her face wiping her tears away while Amelia just gave me a death stare " sorry to interrupt but this is kinda of important, are you aware of the church/hall what ever you call was built."
" yes I approved that section for them they wanted to set up a place of worship for the goddess of the moon, what the problem?." She frowned not getting were i was going with this
" the problem is they are worshipping you and me, now im all for religious freedom as long as it doesn't hurt anyone but if he's involved we can't ignore them that place gives me a bad feeling."
Realizing I was pointing to a empty section of the office( at least to them) i stopped so I didn't look to crazy
" and if what I saw on that wall was right im responsible for the dark elves somehow...at least the other me is." Right then Elise and I got a call in our earpieces for one of us to help deal with something going on at the docks
" i look into you go deal with this." Nodding I teleported over to her giving a quick peck on her cheek before disappearing again forgetting we were fighting
' at least she didn't pull away from me.'being overwhelmed by the sudden burst of noises i took a moment to compose myself
" what is the issue." First thing I noticed was a collection of ships that were not ours anchored not far from the dock " are you the ruler of this town?"
The one asking this was from a race i have only seen a couple times in the Dwarven kingdom...aquanods or merman as they were called now " yes welcome to dragon tooth im know as ghost lord of this town and newly crowned dragon king. "
" then i prince Aquinas challenge you for the lives you have claimed as my final right of my pilgrimage." Tilting my head to the side agreeing to his challenge i didn't feel any malice coming from him so I didn't see a reason not to indulge his request
" follow me." I took the prince an his group to our training grounds so we had enough room and didn't hurt anybody " are you certain about this my king."
Looking back at the group following me i didn't get a bad feeling from any of them
The prince followed closely taking in the atmosphere of the town, not far away a slight taller female mermen looked around amazed by everything, the two bore a close resemblance to each other making me wonder if they were siblings
The last four of the group were guards...at least i think it was hard to tell with their lack of armor or....anything really besides a couple pieces of metal to protect their vitals they looked like Olympic swimmers holding tridents
' maybe it gives them a advantage in the water but it's a bit skimpy for my tastes won't catch me dressing my people like that.'
" interesting place you have here i haven't seen a place with so many different races living together since the Dwarven capital. I know them to be the only ones to do so."
The female mwemen who was enthusiastic looking around was obviously interested in this place
" we dont restrict any who may want to settle or visit based on their species as long as they dony cause harm or chaos , even your people are welcome to come if they wish."
" wonderful!" Turning around she told one of the guards to go back to the ships and tell those there could come to shore if they wish as long as they didn't cause trouble
" weth." She waved away her brothers concerns " dont start brother you know as well as I our people could use a chance to relax."
[ make sure they are watched discreetly send jonah's ninjas] I transfered my thoughts to the earpiece for James, lazza and kal and jonah to hear. Selena was currently with the lizard-men helping them over there for a little bit
As we traversed the road more and more people stared at our passing, most haven't seen their kin before, Finally getting to the training grounds a few soldiers pushed the entrance open for us to enter " wow why the big wall?"
" we were having some issues with the general public and it's always good to keep a few secrets." Looking at the seemingly empty field in front of her she looked around confused
" nothing his here what is there to hide." Smiling I winked at her " no offense but your brother did challenge me to a fight im hesitant to reveal our hand to early."
" o that don't let that sour our potential relationship, father has tasked him to complete a series of task to become king... you just so happen to be the last one."
She looked me up and down making me feel us like a predator has found its prey
at that moment i had to face that i did have some attraction to alaine ' at least when she did it i liked it a little bit.'
" you have quite the reputation growing rapidly throughout the twelve kingdoms... guess it would be thirteen now since the dragons decided to reveal themselves once again. "
" well...hope its mostly good i know some people see me as the devil made real but that's just my terrible temper with injustice the real me is this town and it's people, as you saw people here are happy living life the way they want too not the way they are forced too, of course its not perfect we have our issues but i think we have made a great place here my wife and i with the help of our people. "
Fond memories came to me as I remembered the original intent to settle here
" originally we just wanted a place for us to build up a little before starting a family but in the process it has become so much more,a lot of things have happened turning this place into a town and now a striving capital."
" record this please." He nodded to one of the guards who took out a round object that looked like a bathysphere an activated a rune on it that caused it to start hovering around us shooting out little jets of water to adjust itself or move
" that's a cool little thing." I explained the thing as it passed by me before poking it
" please dont do that it every sensitive equipment. "
" right my bad." I awkwardly shifted away from it taking my place in one of many arena he did the same taking his place across from me " I ask that you dont hold back in our fight."
" sure I'll assume it has something to do with your right." Nodding he unsung a weapon that was wrapped around his torso and shoulder
It was a long rope with a heavy metal ball at one end of it ' a meteor hammer I've never seen one in person his is very ornate compared to the ones i saw .'
Outstretching my left arm to the side i summoned the coffin and pulled out a pair of pure white gloves as I put them on people noticed the small reels of wire on top of both
" well shall we begin." Squeezing both my hands the reels unraveled the nearly invisible wire into the air around me floating like a debris field around a planet waiting for my command
