Chapter 21:first encounter(Lhorulu's POV)

I may not be as shy as my sister Selhoru, but even I am ashamed of being here naked showing my golden fields. Thankfully, the tall handsome man quickly took out his shirt and gave it to me, allowing me to cover up my privacy. At least it was a shirt to him to me it ended up as a dress. So cool. It's the first time I am wearing a man's shirt as a dress. Looking at him, again he is so handsome, that he overshadows the beauty of all my fathers.

Yes, fathers. My mother has a big harem. All demigod magical beasts in the Rhoyne, except the Old Man of the River and Crab King, who are my two elder brothers; are members of this harem. Mother lived for I don't know how long, but all of us other gods are much younger, except my brothers, as they excited much before us, but at that time they were only time.

I know that mother never pursues any of the demigods. It was just that every time a magical beast ascend to demigodhood, it came requesting to do its marital duty, mother always rejects them at first, but they insist and she end up relenting. Mother loves all my fathers equally. I don't want a harem. I would be very joyful if just this sexy man was mine. He is much more than enough for me. No, I am already joyful, in being looked at by him. I feel like I have found true love. It's also so fun to be able to see other scenery.

The mortal world is so different from the divine dimension. It's so diverse and beautiful. It has that watery and petrichor smell that reminds me of home, warming my heart. It also has new smells like the smell of flowers all around. But the best of all is the one I felt when that bull of a man lifted me up by pulling me out of the water. He smelled like the sun if this even makes sense. It was the smell of a burning flame that may destroy or may bring warmth and kindness. A smell that transmits spiritual meaning.

"Madam, may I ask? Are you ok?" that man asked me, while I'm still in his arms.

"Never have been better" I said cheerfully.

"Well, your temperature seems fine" he said while putting his beautiful left hand, with a coppery red palm, like a lotus; on my forehead.

"Ma'am, are you lost? Did you drown in the river?" he continued.

"No, I'm fine. I was taking a bath in my family's land when very strong waters pushed me here. My name is Lhorulu, I am a daughter of Rhoyne."

"Your name is Lhorulu. When you said that you are a daughter of Rhoyne, do you mean that you are a Rhoynar, or is your mother's name Rhoyne?" He asked

"My mother is Mother Rhoyne." I answered, he showed surprise for less than half a second and later seems to understand what I mean.

"Your sacredness, may I humbly ask what are you doing here?"He asked.

"It's as I said I was pulled here." I said.

"Oh, right. I may be able to provide you a better attire if you follow me. Would you accompany me to my humble abode?" he asked.

"Sure" I said hugging my arms on his wide shoulders so that he could carry me.

"Yup."I shouted.

Then, He carried me to a very beautiful building. It has a massive outer marble wall that protects its garden, water comes from a canal connected with the Rhoyne, and it is spread through the garden with clay water pipes. Another massive wall separates the garden from the palace. A complex network of water and rock roads connects all structures in the inner palace. By pulling levers, one can open the connection between the water roads, because a mechanism drops the level of a sector of the rock roads, allowing the two roads to temporarily connect.

There are a hundred and one palaces in total. Fifty on right and fifty on the left, each the size of a small palace. There is a central palace that is bigger than all others. All palaces are mostly made of white marble. All palaces have a central dome on a square base, but the small ones have it made of red marble, while the big palace has it made of blue marble.

He gave me some of his mother's close to temporary use.

"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to ask your name. What's it?" I ask.

"Ma'am, My name is Karna."

"You are that Karna, the balls of steel, dragon slayer, death of battlefields. That guy mother talked about. Can you give me an autograph?" I know he is not one of these popular music players of Ny Sar, but I found him cool and I want an autograph.

Karna seems to groan when hearing his first title. He silently took a piece of paper on the table and wrote his name on it with a dedicatory. Cool. Even his calligraphy is beautiful.

"What your mother talks about me?"

Someone knocked on the door.

"Brother, oh you are with the woman you made magically appear. Good job. Ask if the lady is fine with marrying you. It seems like a sign of Mother Rhoyne. " said the visitor.

"Marry, it sounds nice. I accept" I said.

"Brother, it's only a coincidence! Ma'am, do you even know what marriage is?" Karna asked

"Is it not when a man and woman stay together forever, and they f*ck every single day?" I answered.

Both nodded, but seem to be a bit surprised by the way I talk it.

"So, the lady knows what you mean. Go ask her for marriage. "Karna's brother said.

"Why are you insisting? Oy, you are teasing me, you elder brother?!" Karna said. He quickly looked to Karna and make a victorious expression.

"My lady seems like I have to go and leave the lovebirds alone" he said fastly giving me a salute and closing the door.

"You!" exclaimed Karna.

"Give a chance for my brother, he is a nice guy." Karna's brother said, soon after reopening the door for a second and closing it again. These two childish games are so cute.

After his brother went out, Karna assumed another persona.

"Younger brother, they grow so fast don't day?" Karna asked.

"I don't have a younger brother, but I suppose they do. Changing the subject, when will our marriage be?" I said excitedly.

"Marriage? Mrs. Lhorulu, we barely know each other. Don't you think it is too early for a marriage?" Karna said.

"What a pity. At least, I can have more time to know you." I said.

He asked me again, what my mother tell about him, I told him about how she told me that he is a sort of mysterious figure, that mother from the future sent to wake up mother from the present. I also talked about how the energy he and the sun emanate changed the world, indirectly leading to my and my sister's birth.

"That's a lot to take. So the world will be filled with gods." he asked.

"We don't have any idea about the long term of this change on the world. You are an unpredictable variable to reality. We can only tell how much more you live, more gradually the future changes in favor of the rhoynar." I told him.

"Good. Thank you." He said.

Then, we passed a nice time talking to each other.
