10 My goddess Moriah
Chapter 9
Girl: no don't worship me like that I am not a goddess. Only the almighty Gaia deserve that kind of worship. Stand up quickly. That is very embarrassing.
"No. I will keep this pose until I know how to addressed this godlike beauty in front of me. My dirty eyes are not worthy to lay sight of this perfection"
If another person is present in this awkward scene, one can see that a blush and shyness can be seen on her face.
Girl: I said stand up as I told you I am not a goddess and I am not that beautiful. My looks can be considered as common in our kin. Stand up or I will shoot you with my arrow.
"No! I am not worthy my goddess. This one is lowering himself on such presence to be worthy enough to know this goddess name."
Girl: stop this nonsense I am not a goddess. If you want to address me properly my given name is Moriah. Now stand up or I will shoot you to the ground.
"Moriah. Ah what a perfect name for my goddess. Yup from know own I will swear my life to serve you my goddess"
As of now my whole mind went haywire. I can not think properly only thinking this situation where there is a elf goddess in front of me as if a am Gollum from the lord of the rings looking at his precious. Yes if I became a slave for my elf goddess all my life will have a purpose once more. I am willing to die right now. The I heard a Swish sound followed by a bang near me. I stumbled back from where I am kneeling and stared at the arrow embedded on the ground only inches away from where my head was waking me up from the stupor I am in. Then my eyes went towards my goddess once but shocked a the sight. She was holding another arrow pointing at me and it began to glow. Again it is aimed for my head.
"Wait wait dont shoot I dont want to die not before serving my goddess. No I mean my Moriah. No I mean you. I will serve you I can you slave. So please dont shoot"
Moriah: sit down and stop calling me goddess. Dont make any unnecessary movement or I will shoot to kill.
"Ok will sit and be obidient as you say. Shooting this lowly servant."
As Moriah lowered her bow and arrow the glow faded on the arrow head she grab somethiing from her shoulder bag, again its that red crystal and throw it over me once more. This time I caught it and grab it immediately with my left hand. Now I am certain that this is some kind of interrogation or some lie detector crystal. Then we started the question and answer portion.
As time passed by and the sun became brighter almost reaching its peak noon. We finished our heart to heart talk and that is when we finally understood each other. I'm gonna summarize all the things we have talked about. First I told her everything about me exept the portal part but I did talk about the small cave behind the waterfall luckily I covered the entrance to my batcave where the sharp corner is at I have designed it as to where someone enter all they can see is a very small cave with a dead end not so far from the entrance. Unless they walked to the dead end and inspect the right corner they will not see the rocks that was stack up on top of each other covering the entrance to my batcave. Then I discovered a lot of information about this world. I will just narrate all the important ones. First this world is called Gaia, apparently that is also their god or goddess should I says it sound more feminine. There are 7 major continent and that are Elfrenheimn the land of the elves, Abhor territory of the dwarves, Torath continent of the orcs, Glideon kingdom humans, Rosenhelm territory of the beast people, Purgatory land of the demonkin, and the 7th is not really a continent but a very huge kingdom almost 70% of the whole Gaia covers it. It was named as Hylos. The merpeople territory they are almost every where where water is present.
Second things is mana. Yes mana is the universal energy that envelops this whole world and is used by all living things to live. And also can be categorized by levels on how much a creature radiates and aura within its body. Even trees have aura. Third is the mana stone. It is a crystal with concentrated mana inside, this is mined through out the wolrd and can also be use as a denomination. Apparently used mana stones, the one that look like a glass, can be recharged with mana depending on the quality. The higher the quality the longer time for it to be recharge. Another thing, and it also shocked me, that the mana stones I have I a high grade stones equalling to 1000 gold eventually it is rare and only the rich and nobels carry them. "Fuck I'm rich!!" I said to my self. Moriah showed me a low quality mana stone from her bag and it is a size of a kid's marble also amount to 1gold and aslo a medium mana stone which is the size of a golf ball if converted to gold it is amounting to 100 gold. The universal currency in this planet is copper, silver, gold and mana stones. 10 copper = 1 silver, 10 silver = 1 gold. Moriah showed me the money she had and what it looks like. It looks like a two inch metal coin each coin weight 10 grams approximately. It was the norm for some centuries ago some people scratch some miniscule gram from the gold and silver and made a new coin resulting to inflation to the kingdom's economy which causes many disturbances resulting to many territory to fall.
The third facts is that the whole world had a 600 years of peace between different races. There's still some small war here and there for territories but not big enough to cause racial wars. Apparently 600 years ago each race formed a treaty to choose their respective continent, exept the merpeople of course coz they live on water which is every where so they can build their empire anywhere they like as long it is on the salt water, fresh water is a no no but they are welcome to explore it including lands but chose not to they want seclusion from the other race. But peopel can trade with them in chosen areas. Also 600 years ago a person from another world like me also came in this world. A human cultivator, so powerful that he stopped the world war by himself and also he is main creator of the treaty why races have been appointed a continent to lessen the disputes between races. 500 years ago when he is almost at the end of his life, he used all his power within him to create a powerful barrier that will stealthy covers the planet from other cultivator with godlike power like him to trace this world.
He had a human wife and gave birth to a son that ruled over the human continent. Appently his grandson is the emperor now but the news that the crown will be passed to his first son due to his old age will come very soon. He is currently 187 years of age.
The fourth is lifespan. The elves apparently have the longest lifespan amounting to 1000 years or more. The current record holder to this day is their previous queen who is still alive but retired many centuries ago. Her current age is 1399. And this year she will celebrate her 1400th birthday. Thats the reason why Moriah is currently here. She is hunting a sacred deer for its horn to be gifted to her majesty the previous queen. This is a big event for the elven kingdom. All the surrounding kingdom will sent representatives to the central empire where the main tree of life is at, it is also the capital of the Elfrenheimn continent. Coincidentally Moriah is a princess of the Rohan kingdom where they also have a tree of life but very younger that the one at the celtral. Hunting the deer personally by a prince or princess is an old tratition the horn symbolizes longevity, it also the main ingredient for thier medicine called panacea.
Lastly the thing that I will explain is that many races are present currently in the Elfrenheimn continent for they will also attend the celebretion for the previous queen. So it is not rare to see other race in the cities but very rare to see a different species in the middle of the forest like me unless they have bad intention.
