Ordinary life of two people in same world (I):

[Mayahel Kingdom- Divine Golden Palace]

A few men entered her chamber. She seemed busy with some paperwork, so the men admired her presence as they waited for her to finish. With blond hair and azure eyes, donned in an emerald dress that contrasted with the room, she seemed quite otherworldly. Well, she was a Goddess, so, why wouldn't she look as such.

When she finally noticed them, she paused her work to hear them out. She put down the feather pen and looked towards them with an angelic smile that could even melt the hearts of boulders, but the men saluted her with dignity. The man in the middle stepped forward.

He is Aslan Von Helesthede, the Leader of the "Twelve Apostles of Helastia". He is a tall handsome man with exceptional silver-colored armor with a red cross symbol always enveloping his muscular physique.

"Goddess Helastia," He bowed again, "The astronomers have deduced from the alignment of the stars that, next year might be the year of the awakening of the Great Devil Lord. And in a few months, his main subordinates will awake too. As you already are aware, that this time again the duty of guiding and nurturing the heroes has fallen upon you, the King was requesting for you to perform the summoning ritual of the heroes, as soon as possible."

The goddess tilted her head and spoke, "My~... it is that time already, huh...I nearly forgot that this time again it was my turn to guide them," she closed her eyes, tiredly, "Ahh...so much to do...but the benefit is worth it ...*sigh* ...hmmm..." Crossing her arms, she pondered making various expressions that looked quite amusing to the men behind Aslan, they were smitten, once again. "Aslan! I am giving you the task of setting up everything. You know what you have to prepare, right? Hmm...you have got... twenty...five days to finish this task." saying so, the goddess beamed with her usual angelic smile.

"Understood, Goddess Helastia.... But I will require the aid of four apostles other than myself to see those tasks through in such a short amount of time. Therefore, I ask you to call Edmund, Caspian and Eustace back from the various countries they are posted in, to oversee the 'development' of those said countries." Replied Aslan in his usual indifferent tone.

The goddess closed her eyes and frowned a bit to contemplate. This would stockpile even more work for her but the issue of heroes took priority, so she reluctantly decided to call the apostles back to her nation. As they would be present during the summoning, anyway. A few weeks earlier won't be that much of an issue.

"Fine... I will call them back," she said, "but no mistakes are allowed okay!" added the goddess with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Her entire visage changed as if the previous airhead-yet-elegant-goddess attitude was just an illusion, with that smile and aura she seemed even more intimidating.

That intimidation truly suited her title, "Helastia - the Goddess of War and Death", which only a few individuals in the entire world were aware of, including Aslan and her other apostles. Her original personality is something that is better not awakened, that is something the other Goddesses are very mindful of. Why had she changed her personality? Why had she locked her original personality? Aslan often wondered.

"Yes, I, Aslan Von Helasthede, the first Apostle of the twelfth, will see for it myself that everything is prepared perfectly this time." He declared with a calm look on his face reflecting the confidence in himself but the cold sweat could be spotted on the forehead of all the other men standing before the goddess.

"Oh, and also prepare that stone which produces that dense foggy smoke." Her usual tone returned, Aslan sighed.

"Do you mean the 'solid fog stone' recently invented by Goddess Hephaestus? It is still in the research phase and a confidential item. But since your relations with Goddess Hepasteus are just fine, I shall request her apostles to provide us with some of those, right away." after a brief pause, he asked, "Goddess Helastia, about the Irregul--"

"They will be dealt with... as always," the goddess beamed an innocent smile but the slight darkened expression wasn't missed by Aslan, "All of you can leave."

"Umm..." The man on his left nudged Aslan to remind him of something. Aslan immediately realized what he was trying to remind him of and glared at him for not reminding him sooner, the Goddess had already told them to leave, fuck him!

Aslan sucks his frustration inside. And looks at the Goddess, asking permission to continue. Goddess tilted her eyebrows, she's amused.

"Is there is something else you wanted to tell me about~?" The Goddess tilts her head, rather cutely.

"The stock of Stats-Sheets are nearly exhausted. So, we need to purchase more from the Goddess Hepasteus."

"What? It's already exhausted? I thought we had plenty."

"Uh... Actually, they got accidentally burned a century ago. But you have already executed the maid and her whole lineage, she burned them with other garbage that foolish maid."

"Yeah? I didn't know that they were kept in a place where an ordinary kitchen maid could access them." Goddess pressed him further.

"That... was my fault. I left it near the kitchen in a hurry when I was tallying our stocks." Aslan says with his usual indifferent face, but a hint of guilt was present in his voice.

The Goddess sighed, then Aslan sighed.

"Fine, request Hepasteus for them too. I can buy them at the price of a few mines or cities... they are expensive..., take better care of them this time."

"Yes, right away."

They bowed and left.

The Goddess is now alone in her chamber. She looked at the door, locked it, and lay on the sofa beside her desk after taking out a slim contraption from the cupboard.

She opens the lid of this contraption that has a glass surface on the upper lid and several buttons on the lower one. This contraption is called a "LAPTOP". She typed something on the laptop, her fingers moved in a blur around the keyboard. Seems like she forgot something, as she stood up with a grunt and dashed to the cupboard once again to get it. She took out a piece of equipment known as a "Headphone", and a few snacks? After that she touched the wall and willed something, the golden circular patterns on the wall began glowing, this would activate the silencing-wards. The Goddess nodded her head in satisfaction and then sat on the sofa once again. She adjusted the "headphone" on her head and gazed at the glowing screen of the "laptop" which now has some people moving on it.

She was watching - a movie. Procrastinating during work.

"Aahhhh, it was soooo~ goood~" She stared the ceiling in a daze, probably feeling the emptiness after finishing something good.

"I just hope that this time those Heroes are from some medieval timeline. Those from that era are blindly superstitious and extremely devoted. They'd do anything I say in a beat. Fufu" She chuckled to herself. Noticing the stack of paper on the desk reminded her of the leftover work that she had skipped earlier to watch the movie. The Goddess sighed and got up to sit on her chair, which was just a few inches less from a throne chair, and resumed her work.
