13 Chapter 12 - Status

Walking side by side with athena around the mansion, my new earrings in my ears are bothering me a bit 'I didn't even have time to get used to elf ears, now I have to wear earrings, but it's for a good cause' going through some adventurers on rounds I realized I'm not feeling their emotions I was very happy about it, Testing my control I expressed my desire to feel his emotions, I concentrated a little and the random adventurer's emotions found their way to me ~ boredom, irritation, discomfort~ I think about stopping the reading and the feelings soon disappear, smiling like a fool, I continued walking and talking with athena.

Athena, "is it working?" I looked at her questioningly "the earrings, don't think I didn't see you looking at the guard carefully and then smiling" I was embarrassed to be caught in my actions.

Merlin, ''was it so obvious? It's working perfectly, but more tests are needed to figure out all the uses of the skill as you said'' I answered her a little embarrassed.

Athena agreed with me and soon we reached the common area where the others were waiting, Athena brought a stool and put in front of her.

Athena, ''let's begin, I will give you my blessing, and you have officially become part of the new Athena family, who wants to be the first?"

Not a second after Athena asked, Leone was already jumping in his place, "I! Choose me, can I go first?"

I shake my head with his personality, hear Nier whispering about "red-haired idiots", Athena seems confused, and Ahri just sighs.

Merlin, "you can go, sit down and be quiet for Athena to give you the blessing''.

Leone agreed and quickly took off his shirt without any decorum and sat on the stool with his back to Athena, Ahri turned red with Leone's shameless demonstration and couldn't look much in his direction, Athena remained imperturbable just confused, I understand Athena, I felt it all my life taking care of this hyperactive idiot, just remembering all the bullshit I had to get rid of him, I get tired just thinking.

Athena took a needle and pierced her finger, letting two drops of blood fall on Leone's back, letters of light jumped out of her back while an owl tattoo began to take shape, Athena began to read his status, by the way her eyes widened I think she was surprised.

Athena took the leaf, put her status on the leaf and gave it to Leone, Athena did all this with extreme concentration, it seemed that she was trying to find out what was happening, I decided to end her suffering.

Merlin,''We're half elves and half spirit, one day we woke up and had these magical abilities and we're easier with magic than other people,'' I told her a half truth I'm not ready to tell anyone that we're not from this world, Leone is screaming in the background and bothering Nier about his strength but I ignore him and Athena too.

Athena seemed to accept my answer, she shook her head accordingly, "the magic of the spirits has always been the strongest, it's a great luck that you have inherited these abilities" Athena answered calmly, but I realize that she is still a little shocked.

Athena, "come Nier, let's see your status" nier nods and approaches, he starts to take off his shirt a little embarrassed, athena just smiles maternally at nier, that seems to calm him down a little. he sits in front of her more relaxed. Athena starts to work on his status.

Athena seems shocked again, I understand her, we may not be the strongest in orario, but we have a gigantic potential, each god would kill to have us in his family.

Nier is looking at his status on the leaf and seemed satisfied, Leone and Nier stopped being distracted and concentrated on me, even Ahri, this made me a little uncomfortable, but I don't let it shake me, I sit in front of Athena and take off my shirt.

When the blood drips on my back I feel a warmth surrounding my body, like a warm hug after a tiring day, I get lost in this comforting feeling.

Athena who was behind Merlin had an expression of amazement and confusion as she read her status.

After finishing the Athena process passes me the status on the sheet of paper robotically, I get curious and take a look at my status.

Merlin, "what are these skills with questioning?" I ask athena confused.

Athena looks at me with lifeless eyes, ''I don't know...I tried my best to read them, they're there, but I can't visualize the content, I've never heard of skills that the gods can't see...that should be impossible...I don't like not knowing that...murmur...murmur'' Athena began to murmur in contemplation. I think we broke our goddess on the first day.

I try to send her emotions of calm and tranquility, she raises her head and looks at me ceasing her murmur, athena gives me a grateful smile, then takes Ahri to her room to make her status, it would not be appropriate to see Ahri without a blouse in front of us.

Returning with Ahri from his quarters, athena seemed to have calmed down.

Athena, 'at least not all members are monsters, Ahri is normal, sigh'.

Athena, "I don't need to say this, but you must keep your status a secret, there are many gods and adventurers in orario who would love to make our lives more difficult, we are safe for our stay here at Loki's mansion, so be careful".

We agreed with Athena and she continued, "with that said, Merlin, I would like to test your Skill [Family ties] if possible".

Merlin, "no problem" I close my eyes and concentrate on using the skill, I feel a connection forming between Athena, Leone, Nier, Ahri and myself.

Merlin, (Can you hear me?) I try to ask them mentally.

Everyone is shocked by Merlin's voice in their heads before returning in response (yes!)

Athena, (this is amazing Merlin, it is a very useful skill for our family)

Leone begins to panic, (do you mean you're reading my thoughts?? Don't think nonsense Leone... Don't think about Ahri's body, don't think about it!!! ) We all laughed at Leone as he panicked, Ahri turned very red.

Nier, (just don't want to talk mentally stupid!) Laughs more when Nier scolded Leone, Leone hid his face in his hands with shame, his red face matched his hair.

Athena interrupted our mental conversation talking normally, "I would like to talk about the Skill you share [Dream], she mentions helping to improve, but she doesn't say how, I think the name of the skill may be the key to this, but we will have to find out more in the future, well, I think it was a tiring day, let's take a shower and then sleep, we can talk more tomorrow."

We agreed with Athena and I went to my room and entered the luxurious bathroom of the mansion, I washed all the tension of these days of travel and relaxed in the bathtub, instead of sleeping immediately, I make an hour of training to increase my resistance to the pain with the lightning, after the training I begin to think about my goals.

'first I need to discover the timeline, then start my magic training with athena, train with the sword and my magic, venture into Dungeoneering with Leone and Nier...' lost in thought, I didn't even realize when I fell asleep, opening my eyes I see that I'm no longer lying down but I'm standing, in front of me there was someone I never expected to see again.

"Hi Merlin, did you miss me?" Celine asks me with a funny smile.

hey guys Zan here

sorry for the delay, real life gets difficult sometimes, i will go on a family trip, i will try my best to write more chapters, but without promises of daily chapters.

Comment if you liked the chapter, the next ones promise more action, if you haven't noticed it yet (kind of impossible) this story is very slow. I try to leave it faster but I just can't.

I really want to interact with you guys, so I created a discord, I will put the appearance of the characters, armor, weapons there, we can chat randomly or you can send me ideas for the story.

https://discord.gg/QMygMbUDYr

See you in the next chapter.
