[Aelfheim]

Two otherworldly beautiful women sat on a large gold embroidered couch, both sitting side by side.

One was Aellarith, A Golden Haired Goddess as warm as honey.

The other was The cold Goddess of all Laevians.

Monwraithe.

This Goddess was now completely different than the vicious raging monster which had so recently attacked Kalinik like a rabid beast.

Now she had tears welling up in her slitted red eyes, the emotions she showed were entirely opposite of Her cold demonic looks.

"Little Aella why didn't you tell me you'd be getting married....I wished i could've gotten to know him better...." The Red eyed goddess spoke with a trembling voice as a few tears flowed copiously down her beautiful rosy cheeks.

Aellarith saw her friends sadness and immediately wrapped her in a warm comforting hug as she patter the horned Goddess's head.

"Its okay Sister Wraithe, you'll get to meet my Kaliniki soon....Don't cry..." Aellarith spoke and kept hugging the emotional Laevian Goddess.

"B...B...But he'll hate me..i...i...i almost killed him.... he'll think I'm ugly because of my horns and wings....uwaaaa....uwaaa..." The big titted Goddess began bawling loudly into Aellarith's shoulder as the Golden haired goddess kept patting her head gently as if consoling a child.

"No he wont, I'm sure Kaliniki will forgive you....And of course he wont think you're ugly because of your horns or your wings...I'm sure he'll think you're beautiful big sister." Aellarith spoke softly into Monwraithe's sharp Aelven like ear.

The horned Goddess kept crying for a few more minutes until she calmed down significantly.

"D...D...Do you really...really think hell find me beautiful..d....d...do you mean it?" The Goddess asked.

Her slitted blood red eyes staring deeply into Aellarith's vibrant Gold eyes while awaiting an answer.

"Of course he will, you just wait Big Sister." Aellarith spoke and immediately Monwraithe seemed to calm down significantly and began sniffling cutely as she finished wiping the tears from her eyes.

"And remember that you're going to be an auntie as well so you cant cry so much okay?" Aellarith asked the emotional goddess strategically.

Immediately the previously crying Goddess broke out in a wide beautiful smile.

Her two sharp fangs shone brilliantly in the candlelight.

"I...Im...Im going to be an auntie!!!" Monwraithe shouted excitedly and wrapped Aellarith into a tight hug as her wings flapped instinctively.

In her excitement Monwraithe's razor sharp tail extended and ripped clean through the gold embroidered couch.

Monwraithe got a sorry look in her eye for a moment before Aellarith spoke.

"Its okay big sis, its just a couch." Aellarith spoke warmly.

. . .

Before long the two women had moved to another room, a giant green crystal around ten meters across sat at its center.

"Oh let me see him already!" Monwraithe spoke excitedly with her wings flapping slowly and razor sharp tail trembling and twitching.

Before long Aellarith spoke words of power with a hand placed on the emerald.

Her wedding band glowed for a long moment before the entire emerald shone in a brilliant green light.

Instead of looking into the crystal immediately Aellarith looked lovingly at her wedding band for a long moment.

Meanwhile Monwraithe stared intently at the screen with wide eyes and rosy cheeks.

"Oh my god its so big...." Monwraithe muttered under her breath.

"Huh....let me see..." Aellarith spoke and leaned in to look at the crystal where her husband was bathing himself in a small creek.

"I cant wait until he comes back to me.... he's so loving and caring...." Aellarith spoke with dreamy eyes.

Just beside her, Monwraithe's eyes were locked onto Kaliniks cock as he washed caked blood from his pale white hair while standing thigh deep in the flowing crystal clear water.

"Oh shit Aella look....There's a peeper!!!"

Monwraithe spoke in surprise when she noticed an Aelven woman nearby hiding in a bush while peeking at the handsome Aelven man.

"What!!! Who!!!" Aellarith spoke in shock before looking into the bushes intently.

"what will you do?" Monwraithe asked cautiously and Aellarith's eyes glowed for a long moment before speaking.

"Hmmm....Natalka of the Valewood clan.... She's pious and makes offerings to me often...Most importantly, she dosen't bear the Scarlet Mark..... I approve, Husband can have her if he wants."

Aellarith spoke with a warm smile as she imagined having a little Aelven sister wife, and all the little children that would surely come.

"Why did you decide to curse your people with the Scarlet Mark? It's the strangest thing..." Monwraithe spoke with genuine interest.

"It's worth it, although I never planned it now my husband will know which women are harlots who sleep with men before marriage....and....and its not a curse if they follow one of my few simple commandments!" Aellarith spoke a bit overexcited and defensive.

The two Goddess's continued chatting amongst each other as Monwraithe took liberal gazes of Kalinik's completely naked body.

Those glances were of course not missed by the blonde Goddess standing only inches away....

The usually Kind and Warm Goddess smirked inwardly as she made slightly mischievous plans for the future.

[Elisnore Forest]

[MC POV]

As I washed my pale white hair the dried crusted blood came out in disgusting clumps of nearly black goop.

the sickly sweet stench of death was a familiar companion.... but always an unwelcome one.

Halfway through cleaning myself, my sensitive Aelven ears picked up a faint sound in a dense patch of nearby bushes...but i had no need to turn for i already knew who was there.

The wind blew in my direction and I my newly improved nose easily picked up the grassy sweet scent of Natalka....She was....Peeking on me.

It felt strange to be looked at in this state, I was no stranger to bathing in creeks and rivers with fellow soldiers nearby but I'd never had a woman peek on me while doing so.

It was.

Interesting.

Soon enough i finished scrubbing my body with a crushed paste of Chlorogalum stems I'd found earlier thanks to my keen Aelven nose.

After dipping my entire body once again into the cool fresh water it was time to return.

I decided to walk directly toward the bushes where Natalka was hiding while making sure to act as if i were unaware at her presence just for fun....seeing people squirm nervously was always quite enjoyable after all.

I could feel Natalka's sharp gaze aimed directly at my swinging cock and lean stomach but I didn't much mind...after her show of power and skill with a bow last night I was sure she'd be a worthy woman if she wished to be mine one day.

Soon enough I exited the creek completely and began wringing my long white hair dry while taking passing looks toward the thick patch of bushes where Natalka hid every once in a while before looking elsewhere.

Whenever my eyes wandered over the bushes i could hear her soft breathing stop completely in am attempt to stay entirely hidden, her nervousness was palpable.

But before long i grew tired of playing with the chestnut haired woman and decided to actually get ready.

I held the glimmering golden pendant softly in my hand as i wished forth the well tailored green Aelven Robes with its intricately engraved Mythril Epaulettes and Vambraces.

The beautifully constructed robes were Chosen for me specifically by Aellarith....The clothes even smelled like my wife as i took them from the pendant for the first time.

Strewn nearby were the blood soaked roughspun tunic and trousers which Natalka had placed on me not long ago, they were not only soaked in dried blood however.

Both garments were torn nearly to shreds from trekking many kilometers through the dense dark forest with the unconscious Natalka in my arms, it was impossible to avoid the branches when I tried to protect Natalka's unconscious body from the branches after all.

As i turned away and finished putting on my brand new robes and armor I heard Natalka stand from her hiding place and begin to walk towards me as casually as possible as if she'd only just walked over from the nearby tree hollow where i had left her laying.

I turned around as i finished tying my high quality brown leather belt and smiled at the woman as she neared.

"W...We made it..." She spoke with a but of surprise, her blushed cheeks were hard to miss as well but I decided not to mention that.

"Yes we did, all thanks to your skill with that Bow.... I've truly never seen anything like that....I have no doubt you're really the best archer of the Valewood Clan." I spoke with a friendly tone.

I could clearly see her romantic interest in me but that was not all, there was also a weariness I'd not noticed from her before.

She looked at me as if i were a possible threat even through all we'd been through.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked the Green eyed Aelven woman.

"L...Like what?" She asked with a slight tremble in her voice.

"As if you're scared I'm about to attack you...." I spoke with a raised eyebrow.

"I...I saw what you did...to those men..." She spoke while subconsciously grasping the dagger at her waist, ready to defend herself.

"Ah that makes sense, don't worry I only do that to humans." I spoke nonchalantly but she still looked at me wearily....

"Natalka, i carried you for nearly twenty kilometers while completely unconscious....if i wanted to hurt you I had plenty of time right?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and her lips grimaced for a second before her entire body relaxed completely and nodded.

"Sorry...I didn't mean to offend....its just that...." She spoke but couldn't finish her sentence.

"What i did to them in that forest is a mercy compared to what they did to all Aelven people....Their people hunted, Raped , Tortured, Starved, and Terrorized Aelves for how long? What did they do to the Antediluvian Empire?" I asked and she gulped audibly before clenching her teeth.

"The Aelven empire was decimated three centuries ago....It exists only in legend now...." She responded sharply, she only half meant her words....I could see the look in her eyes when i mentioned the empire.

"Do you not like killing humans? You know it was a human boy who alerted those men to hunt you down right....I doubt you'd fail to notice a human boy spotting you in the forest...so did you let a human go after being spotted....."

I spoke with a questioning tone while apperating my curved Aelven longsword and Dagger then attaching them to my belt.

I could see the conflict in her eyes as she thought of how to respond.

"W...What was i supposed to do....How could I kill a boy?...he didn't even have a weapon..." She spoke with a strange tone.

"And that almost got me killed and you captured....think of what horrors they'd have put you through because of that mercy... Please reflect on that Natalka...now what do you plan to do? Will you stay with me, or are we parting ways, I understand if you don't want to travel with someone like me."

I asked just as i finished dressing and arming myself completely.

She pondered my question for a long while before speaking.

"Where are you going?" She asked sheepishly, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"I need to reach The Aen Carnith Valley...but I'm not sure where it might be." I spoke with an assured tone, I may not have known where it was but nothing would stop me from getting there.

"I...I don't know this Aen Carnith Valley...never heard of it.....but i do know someone who might." Natalka spoke with an unhappy tone.

"How come you don't sound excited by that?" I asked curiously.

"Because I'd have to return to my Clan if you wanted to speak with Carenea.... She's a Crone of the Goddess and seems to always have an answer to any question.... although to return home...I dont know....." She spoke with an unhappy tone.

"Why don't you want to return home? Surely it cant be that bad....and if it is I swear to help you with anything you might need to fix your problem." I spoke assuredly and instantly her vibrant green eyes lit up and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Do you promise! You cant take it back! Say it!.....I take you to Carenea and you help me with my problem!" She spoke excitedly.

I couldn't deny Natalka when seeing her genuinely happy expression, she was just pulling on my heartstrings too much.

I placed a hand over my heart and decided to swear on it.

"I Kalinik Hilandar swear by my devotion to The Goddess Aellarith to help Natalka with her problem if she takes me to Carenea the Crone."

As soon as my words finished both Natalka and I glowed a faint golden hue for only a split moment.

But it seemed that Natalka didn't notice the obvious glow at all.

Strange.

"Are you ready to go or do you need more time to recover?" I asked the tall long legged huntress.

"I am ready....but our path to my village takes us back in the direction we just fled from..." She spoke with a hint of concern in her voice.

"We'll be fine, Our Goddess watches over us." I spoke before we marched off slowly into the dense forest.

"Are you a noble? I haven't heard of Aelven nobles other than the tales...." Natalka asked curiously.

"What makes you think I'm a noble?" I asked as we crested a small ridge, the morning sun warming our skin.

"Well, first it was your Hair....Reminds me of the tales of the Antediluvian High Lords that the old crone told people...Then it was that magic Pendant....Only Aelves with some Noble blood can use magic after all.....Lastly is the clothes you're wearing.....I've seen a human noble and even his clothes were of lower quality...I mean you have Mythril Vambraces for Goddess's sake...." She chattered on for a while, i didn't mind however since we had many miles to go and chatting was a good way to pass the time.

. . .

A few hours later I had to ask a certain question, My curiosity just got the better of me.

"So Natalka what did you need help with back with your clan?"

"Oh nothing much, you just have to kill my.....my.....*Urgh....." Natalka tried to finished talking but gagged violently as if she were about to vomit.

"I have to kill your What?" I asked trying not to smirk at the funny sight of the usually well mannered and somewhat graceful Aelven woman as she gagged uncouthly.

"Y..You have to Kill my....My Fian...*URGH...Fiancee....*URGH.." She managed to speak out.

it seemed she almost threw up her roasted mushroom all over the forest floor and i couldn't help but chuckle. "hahahaha...."

"What are you laughing at white hair!" She quipped angrily.. . . . . . . . . . . .

[Many Miles away]

A muscular young Aelven man with black hair and muddy green eyes felt his ears itch strangely.

"Hmmmm.....Is someone talking about me?" He muttered to himself while scratching his long ears.
