Remnants of another Era 1.85

-Viggo- said Kiara, appearing next to him.

Viggo passed his sight of the golden dial and looked at the beautiful Kiara, with those quirky horns on her head, the white and pristine clothes and fuchsia underwear.

-I did- Viggo said with a big smile as he gasped.

-I know, I felt it, but I want to see that shield-

Viggo looked at the golden shield that was lying on the ground. In its center was a face like that of the gorgon. Viggo nodded, took it, and laid it out to Kiara. She took it in her hands and made it levitate as it rotated on its axis. Once the shield reached two meters in height, Kiara made a gesture, and the shield began to grind and be crushed until it became a perfect golden ingot.

Viggo screamed furiously -What are you doing? It was a good shield-

Kiara looked at Viggo with some anger but ignore him and looked at the golden ingot coming down as if it had the same weight as a feather. Once the ingot reached Kiara's hand, she looked at Viggo and said in a strong tone –I know it's a good shield, it's part of the remnant of the age of the gods, but its design will damage Ana's mind, do you want her to feel bad?-

Viggo narrowed his eyes and growled -whatever- said -I hope you compensate me-

-Of course, I'm going to compensate you, you idiot. The material is the important thing, your parents are the best blacksmiths in Orario, so the most logical thing would be to tell them to do something more practical-

Viggo nodded and looked away.

-Enough of stupid discussion- said Kiara -take the sphere and give the final push to your axe. Even so, it will be far from what your father once did, but it will be very useful to you-

-Why did Grandpa take away his power?- asked Viggo, looking Kiara in the eye.

-As paramount, we both have different ways of working. He seeks that his elect develop power on their own. For my part, I overwhelm my elect with power and pleasures, so that afterwards none of these things may have power over them. Viggo, you are someone blessed since you were born, you grew up in a beautiful family that loves you, you have never lacked anything, and you grew up healthy and strong. You would never understand what it feels like for a person who struggles every day of his life to achieve half of what you have. If that person were ever tempted with power and pleasure, he would surely give in to the first possibility. You don't know what it's like to have to fight for crumbs-

-I have worked hard for everything I have-

-After your father sent you out to train, but before that, what did you do with your time?-

Viggo was silent without knowing what to answer. All the fury he felt at the loss of the shield vanished and looked at the ground in shame. Kiara let out a sigh and looked at the sky.

-I'm sorry- said Viggo in sorrow.

-Don't feel it...- Kiara replied.

-I know, I'll be better. I always tell myself the same thing, but sometimes I doubt I'm doing it-

-What did your master say?-

-About what-

-About what you know-

-He said I don't know anything, I can only do things, make mistakes, and learn from my mistakes. Then, just there, I will know something of life-

-So what should you do?-

-Keep living- replied Viggo, looking up -doing things, experimenting, and learning from my mistakes and successes-

Kiara nodded as a teacher would -I'm glad your mind is still focused on what's important. The shield is something you just found, it's not worth worrying about something that wasn't even yours in the beginning. However, Ana is more important to you, isn't she?-

-Yes, I was wrong to yell at you for something as shallow as the shield- Viggo said -now, tell me why it would hurt her-

-It is not the shield itself; it is the drawing. Could affect the tendency of her soul-

-I see, her past, thank you for protecting her from my stupidity-

-You didn't know Viggo- said Kiara, moving up to Viggo and stroking his face -just be careful what you do, understand?-

-I understand- Viggo said. Then he passes by her side, take the golden sphere, and bring it closer to the axe. The next instant the energy flowed from the sphere and the axe shined brighter, emanating a terrible cold, and filling the entire head with frost.

-It's done, now it returns the sphere to the pedestal- Kiara said. Viggo nodded and began to search for the pedestal. At the same time, Kiara stretched her hand pointing to the top of the wall where Viggo left the arch, raised it, and made them levitate to where she was.

Viggo returned five minutes after depositing the sphere on the pedestal. He stopped in front of her and saw the bow and fell at his feet, but he didn't see the ingot.

-Don't worry- said Kiara -I will have the ingot and ask your father and mother in person to make a shield. I have some requirements and quality standards, do you know?-

Viggo nodded seriously, and Kiara let out a sigh. She approached Viggo and stretched out her hand to touch his face. However, Viggo turned his face so that she would not touch him. Kiara gave a funny chuckle, which made Viggo angry. However, she just smiled and stretched out her hand more to turn Viggo's face in a gentle gesture for him to look at her.

-Don't be angry, Viggo- Kiara said -if you do something wrong, I must tell you, shouldn't I?-

Viggo bent his gaze and nodded. Kiara brought his face closer and gave him a tender kiss, which little by little, was opening Viggo's defenses. Then he put his hands on Kiara's soft hips and returned the kisses.

Kiara gradually walked away and said with a flirtatious smile -enough, they are waiting for us. The girls went treasure hunting, but they should soon be done-

Viggo nodded with a smile, took the bow and the quiver. Then he stared at Kiara to see how they proceeded.

-Embrace me- she said -that way it will be faster-

Viggo hug her, she smiled, and they disappeared from the gorgon's prison, leaving everything in a deadly silence.

The next instant, Viggo and Kiara returned to where they were camping. To their surprise, the girls were wearing beautiful gold necklaces, elegant tiaras, and many rings on their fingers. They all seemed fascinated with so many jewels and precious stones that adorned them. However, Semiramis was the most bizarre of all. She had completely stripped naked and only covered her glamorous body with gold chains.

Viggo turned away from Kiara and said with a smile -I see they are having fun-

All of them stared at him with a smile, except Semiramis who let out a scream of horror and crouched down to pick up her clothes and cover herself.

-You see, this woman's heart is in the gold, dear Viggo- Kiara said half-jokingly -I think it's not a good match-

-Liar- yelled Semiramis -you took us to that cellar full of treasures. I know, it's your fault, you led me down the wrong path-

-My dear, I only showed you things, I never told you to put on that jewel-

Semiramis looked at her full of resentment, but Viggo walked to her and blocked the vision of the burlesque Kiara. Semiramis looked up and noticed Viggo extending a hand to her. She took his hand and he helped her get on her feet. Then Viggo spun her around and saw those thick thighs, that huge butt and those big tits covered by endless gold necklaces and chains that she wore as a belt.

-You look lovely- said Viggo, looking into her eyes. Semiramis blushed and smiled to him. Viggo pulled his face closer and gave her a kiss on the lips. Then they broke up and Viggo whispered hatred -we could try something like that next time-

Semiramis nodded with blushing cheeks.

Viggo turned around and lifted the axe into the air -it's finished, look- he said and channelled his mana to the axe. It emitted a heavenly glow and soon the head was filled with a thick layer of frost. Viggo lowers it and the girls came over to watch. Then he showed them the axe and they started touching the ice.

-But is this good for combat?- asked Ana.

-Yes- replied Kiara, approaching the group -wounds made with ice take time to heal, freeze the muscles making them useless and increase the feeling of pain. Well, plus the base edge of the axe has been improved. Now could cut a person like a knife cuts hot butter-

-That's right, it's a good weapon- Viggo added -with this I have already finished all my affairs on this earth-

All the girls looked at each other, they all nodded and said at the same time -we are ready-

-You heard Kiara- Viggo said with a big smile.

-Well, in that case, you must ask a certain bizarre person to put on clothes and keep all those jewels. We are going to go to the city of Viggo and all these riches can attract bad people. However, they should not get paranoid either, Orario is a civilized place, a place where the gods walk among mortals-

-What?!- the four of them shouted in chorus, looking at Kiara as if their eyes were going to come out of the sockets. After a while, they looked at Viggo full of resentment for having kept such a relevant detail.

-Didn't he tell them?- asked Kiara in an astonished voice. They all denied maintaining their angry expression. What Kiara found funny and added more fuel to the fire -Viggo's mother is one of the main goddesses-

They were all made of stone and Semiramis fainted from the impression. Once they all calmed down and Semiramis woke up, they bombarded Viggo with questions, while Kiara watched him cornered and laughed in a good mood.

Kiara let out a sigh and looked at her five protected, all precious souls who were about to be cleansed by the Origin. She smiled contented with how lived and lively they looked, very different from what she saw in their past lives.

Kiara coughed to stop the interrogation and applauded three times -well, I think it's time- said -Semiramis, please use the bag to store everything that is useful. The others, be prepared, are going to travel to a place totally different from what you have known, wait for it full of anticipation-

They all looked at Kiara, then looked at Viggo resentfully and let out a snort. Then they did as Kiara said and prepared.

Once everyone was ready, Kiara approached Viggo and took his right hand.

Viggo came up to Kiara's ear and whispered to her -you shouldn't have said that-

Kiara smiled and whispered back -it doesn't matter, in a couple of hours they would know-

-Will I be, okay?- asked Viggo -you know why I end up in this place-

-You will be fine, no matter what child you are, your parents will always present you as the best man in the world. In the future they may tell the girls what kind of idiot you once were, but for now, they will sell you as the best match-

Suddenly, Kiara was startled, she looked at Viggo with a shocked expression, and turned away from him. Then she snapped her fingers and her exotic outfit changed to that of a nun with a long slash that showed her leg up to her thigh. Although Kiara now looked demurer, she in no way lost that sexual aura.

-It's not fair, master, you want to make a good impression- Sakura said.

-Yes, it's true, help us too- Ana added by pouting.

Viggo looked at Semiramis and Scheherezade who were also nodding and thought that at this rate they would never travel to Orario.
