Chapter 11 Greedy Humans, Delusional Elves, Prideful Demons
Yet another day had ended, and he was closer to his departure from this dreamland world, desire to leave? none at all, Constantine desired to remain here forever with this Goddess of his, but there were responsibilities, her faith and also, his five wives that he needed to find.
For two long days Aurelianne had gone serious, she even dressed in some sort of combat attire that did nothing but raise 'it' up high... he could barely hold back himself by now around her, and he can tell... she's doing it on purpose.
It might have been innocence at first, but... once she noticed his responses, Aurelianne craved it, and she would tease him in all possible manners, being naked was as natural for them now as breathing, he had gotten used to her delicious body being exposed at all times, but... it all changed when she got a little creative.
In bed he opened his eyes yet again to the sight of his goddess kissing him like always, the kiss was tender as if seeking attention, by the time his consciousness woke up, she retreated, this time it wasn't a happy smile like always.
"Good morning, my beloved champion... I'm afraid we don't have a lot of time together..." Saying her part, she licked her lips and lay back down on his chest, having the quilt made out of rose petals raise up and cover them
"I see..." Caressing her long silver hair, he braced himself for the world that was to come, hoping he can come here once again, swiftly and unhindered.
It had been two days in which Aurelianne had introduced him to spells and 'magic procedures', but the knowledge she could provide in that regard was unexpectedly limited.
"I'm afraid that even if I wanted to, I'm not the most indicated person to teach you magic, I'm a natural-born Goddess, born from life itself and hence use magic by instinct, as if it was a part of my body, I don't use spells or procedures, it just comes out of me as natural as breathing, if you want to become stronger, once you're in Sandoria, you may have to enter an academy, or find a private teacher... and there too, I can't recommend you anyone in particular... my presence in Sandoria is nonexistent, but I might be able to appear as an avatar to guide you when you need it, sorry..."
She felt guilty for the lack of methods she could employ to assist him in his quest, as a Goddess, she can't directly interfere or 'descend' to sandoria, unless as an avatar, until her faith is restored.
"Why don't the elves worship you?" He had wondered for the longest while, even his race was changed to an elf, according to Aurelianne, elves are creatures of life, shouldn't they be worshipping the goddess of life?
"It is complicated... Vita has a part of her body grown in Sandoria, to be more specific, the Elf Kingdom... but due to the lack of faith in me, Vita is unable to entirely bless the land, you may think that the elves would try to worship me to fix this... but that is not the case."
"During the fall of Lucius, the Elf King perished as well... he had two daughters he was proud of, Sandra and Mariah... Sandra, a woman with a cold heart, ended up as the Queen of the Elves, believing that worshipping a goddess was unnecessary... Mariah ended up becoming the saintess of the elf church, but she decided to worship a deceased god instead... Lucius... back when I first appeared to fix this land, they were the ones I presented myself to, but... they rejected me."
Hearing her words, Constantine scheduled his plans.
"I advise you don't go to the Elf Kingdom... in fact, I advise you conceal the fact that you are a half-elf for as long as you don't have the power to protect yourself, my beloved... having flora magic and silver hair... that's a direct connection to me... you will be executed and by then... I may not be able to hold my hand."
The world suddenly turned grey, with the abruptness of a lightning strike.
The last words were said with a threat non-characteristic of her, it made him aware that despite their newfound relationship, she is still in fact, a Goddess...
"Even as my champion, I'm sending you to Sandoria, because it is a part of the 'punishment' and 'test' you have to go through, in order to reach your five wives, I'm allowing you to go for your sake, my champion... all I want is to keep you here forever." Her finger trailed his lips with a smile, making it clear that compared to him, the so-called faith wasn't as important.
He ended up kissing her, still a man with a mission.
"I will do it... where do you think I'm going to end up first?"
"You should be going to the continent of Ishmarak, Old Human Empire of Sadamek... it is the best place for you to start... humans are weak in numbers and there you should find a teacher that will take your potential to the next stage, but no matter what... don't say that you have four ether cores... their testing devices will at most say you have one which is a sign of extreme talent, but... in order for them to know you have four, your prowess will be more than enough, please, cover your ears..." She rubbed his ears slightly and giggled, producing a torrent of electricity to fall on him.
"Hmn!"
He grunted and held her tightly, rubbing hers as well and they quickly entered an elf bonding morning until she was nearly wasted to the point he had to hold back from devouring her there and then, however, some words of hers really tested his limits.
"If you want to make love to me, do so..."
!!!
"You're my goddess..." He said, indicating that he wanted to respect her until they knew each other more or at least experienced more together, but... she placed a finger on his lips.
"That's right, I am YOUR goddess and no one else's... be sure to mark me properly" She whispered and raised up with a teasing giggle, leaving a stunned Constantine on the bed as she went to prepare something for him, not bothering to wear even her silky translucent dress.
'I guess the five of you will have to forgive me for this... but it will be six now..." He sighed and looked down at his raging self, going on further is going to be a torture, and he is going to depart as well soon.
'Might as well make some beautiful memories with my goddess.'
Laying on the soft bed in each other's embrace, each one of Aurelianne's words was sadder than the other.
Because she knew soon she'd have to return to Vita, while he'd go to Sandoria to exact her will and win faith on her behalf.
