13 MY KIND OF PARTY

...YEAR 1995...

The same year when Nathalia Watson finally ended her apprenticeship and officially became the newly appointed Queen of Darkness.

It actually took her over a century before she was able to claim her rightful title.

There was simply too much that she had to handle and learn before she could become the Queen of Darkness.

But thankfully, she had made it to the end and she was now over it.

"HOOT HOOT"

[Young mistress, congratulations to your graduation. Where are we going to have the party???]

Although Hootie was congratulating her master, there was still a hint of sarcasm in her voice when she said that.

After all, it took her a whole one hundred freaking years just to graduate!!!

To which the other sons and daughters of the Gods and Demigods only took around twenty years at most.

That was a difference of five folds!

Nathalia obviously heard the edge of sarcasm in her pet's voice but she decided not to pay it any heed so as not to destroy the mood of the night.

The night was dark and the moon was bright.

There were also millions of stars that were scattered above them as if pieces of diamonds spilled in the boundless sky.

Just perfect to set the mood for a party.

"Well, Hootie... From now on, you gonna start calling me as Your Highness."

Then with a snapped of her finger, Nathalia was already sitting at the rooftop of the highest building in the city

Well, apparently, Nathalia went straight to the mortal world as soon as she got her certificate of recognition for completing her studies.

Just like her father, Nathalia also developed a certain degree of fondness in this world.

There were simply too many great and amazing things that can be found in this world of mortals.

As such, she used to went to the mortal world whenever she had some spare time at her disposal and spent her time wandering around the mortal world and trying out new things

But although she like the mortal world, it would be an entirely different story when it comes to the humans who used to live in this world.

Because during those times that she studied in the Realm of Gods, she learned about many evil deeds that these humans had done throughout the history of mankind.

So despite being a half-human herself, Nathalia held little regard when it comes to the mortal.

Since Nathalia was currently sitting at the highest point of the city, then she could clearly see the beautiful lights dancing in the active nightlife.

The blaring sound of the horns honking from a distance can also be heard in the background.

She could clearly hear even the sound of the engines and cars as they passed by in the highway below where she was seated.

At some point, Nathalia could even hear the prayers of those desperate people who were on the verge of dying as they cried for help.

As the Queen of Darkness, Nathalia had already get used to it.

In fact, she no longer minded it even in the least.

Instead, she focused her attention on the beautiful scenery before her.

"Haaaaayyyy... this is what you call partying..."

She said with a contented sigh.

"HOOT HOOT"

[But Young Mistresss, Errrr... I mean Your Highness...]

Hootie trailed off when she saw that Nathalia was glaring at her.

It was then that the talking owl realized her mistake and immediately changed the way she addressed her master.

"HOOT HOOT"

[Your Highness, this is not what the humans called partying. Partying has drinks, and foods and loud and lively music, as well as lots and lots of dancing. It should be fun!]

There was a spark in Hootie's eyes when she described the kind of party that she has on her mind.

The talking owl was too caught up with her own fantasies as she described her ideal settings for a party.

As such, she failed to notice the sneer that was pasted in Nathalia's face.

Nathalia knew right from the start that her pet was more idealistic than her.

Hootie was normally like that.

That was why she was not surprised at all when she saw the other party behaving like that.

"Tss.."

Nathalia just let Hootie by herself and decided not to pay her any heed at the moment

Then with another snap of her finger, a bucket of chicken drumsticks and a couple of cold canned beers materialized out of thin air.

"Now, this is what I call partying."

Nathalia said as she chunked a large portion of meat from the chicken drumstick on her hand.

"HOOT HOOT"

[SERIOUSLY?????!!!]

Hootie almost went hysterical when she saw what her master had brought.

"HOOT HOOT"

[This is not how you should party. Show some class, Your Highness.]

Hootie even stressed out her words when she said 'Your Highness'

To which Nathalia only reacted to her with a raised eyebrow.

"HOOT HOOT"

[Holy Crab!!! You should have at least chose a bottle of red wine over these cheap-looking canned beers.]

"Ohh Hootie... Can't you please stop nagging at me even just for this night??? Let me celebrate my graduation the way I like it."

Nathalia said to her ever so nagger pet before she gulped down another mouthful of beer.

Hootie was always like that.

She used to nag at her at almost everything that she did in her life.

If only this talking owl was not a gift from her dad, she must have strangled it to death already."

"HOOT HOOT"

[But------]

"No more buts, Hootie!"

Nathalia cut her out before the other party could even say another word.

"Besides, why are you even complaining about the drinks??? It's not as if you would drink with me?"

She said as she opened another can of beer and gulped it down, bottoms up.

The newly appointed Queen of Darkness planned to drink to her heart's content that night.

"HOOT HOOT"

[TSS. This ungrateful kiddo. I just wanted to remind her that tonight was supposed to be her first encounter with her fated husband. But she doesn't even want to listen to me at all.]

Hootie said under her breath as she watched her master gulped the beer one after another.

But Nathalia was not a heavy drinker at all.

It only took around six cans of beer before Nathalia got all plastered.

Because she was a half goddess and a half-human, Nathalia had a tendency of getting tipsy for just over a few drinks.

So at that same night as well, Nathalia Watson the newly appointed Queen of Darkness got drunk for the first time in history.

She would never think that this night was actually the night that would seal her life to the fated husband that she chose for herself as well.
