The Goddess' Faith

"Do you believe in a particular goddess?" Zamira asked, agape... she didn't think he'd follow some god especially since he clearly wasn't from this world.

The theory of him being an 'envoy' made more sense now.

"Of course, who else would I believe other than our beloved goddess of life?" He blurted as if holding ultimate confidence.

'I can only use the method utilized by modern churches in my world, I hope this will work' he thought, someone like him faithless, what else could he do if not copy?

"Sorry, I don't know any goddess of life." The girl confessed awkwardly.

"How dare you heretic!?"

!!!

"S-Sorry...! I really don't know any goddess of life!" Zamira stuttered, she didn't expect him to switch all of the sudden.

*WHOOSH!*

"Burn in a hole for your sin! only the goddess of life can save you! kneel down and pray!" He cast some flames in his hand and it was the girl's time to be terrorized.

[I don't think you're going to get any worshippers that way...!] Zebellia seemed to be struggling to talk instead of laughing out loud.

'That's what they did back in my world and they were quite successful, give it time... I know she will like it'

[There is no way she's going to like it! Look! She's scared shitless!]

By now Zamira was more than a little frightened 'burn her in a hole' what kind of goddess of life is that?!

Seeing her like this, Constantine had to sigh and admit perhaps that wasn't the best method, just maybe...

*COUGH!*

"Sorry, Zamira... I got a little carried away, it is just... I love my goddess too much." Constantine, seeing her shivering body, decide to restart his preaching, clearly, the first impression had been a failure.

"I-I can tell..." Zamira, if not for having understood a little of his personality and his compassionate self, would have already run for her life, forsaking Andre.

"Anyway, it is the truth, if you want to serve me, you will have to serve my goddess first." He patted her shoulder, trying to calm her down as she was still shivering.

She took several seconds to calm down, thinking that he just wasn't the best apostle around, eventually, the beauty asked something and this time he really didn't know what to answer.

"Is your goddess on good terms with the God Lucius?"

...

'I didn't think being a priest would be so complicated...'

[You're making it complicated!]

"No she isn't, my goddess is the only one living goddess in Sandoria, Lucius is death, you should know that..." Constantine answered from what he learned with Aurelianne.

"Humanity hopes that he is still alive, but looking at the current world, that's impossible, right?" She asked with little to no hope.

"Yes, but in his place there is a new goddess who is compassionate and noble, Aurelianne..."

"Can you prove that she is alive?" Zamira glared at him, beliefs were a complicated topic in Sandoria and even if she wanted to be his subordinate, her beliefs were something else.

Her determination to prove him, made Constantine a little apprehended, he didn't know how to reproduce a 'proof'.

'Shit... how do I swindle her?' He bit on his nails, 'with magic?'

[...]

'Back in my world the priests used to stick a piece of meat inside his robes and made it appear in front of the hungry as if it was magic, a miracle... should I do something like that, where do I get meat?'

[You suck at being a champion... just pray to your goddess and she will feel your faith, fool]

'Is that an actual thing?'

[Of course, it is, do you think you're her champion just for show?]

'I will try...'

"Oh goddess of my heart, please may you show mercy on my soul and show your beautiful countenance in front of me, I miss you! I miss those two BIG eyes of yours!" His hands extended to the skies, awaiting his lover to express herself in any way, a gale of wind... rain... even if a little itch in the butt that would be okay.

[What kind of bullshit pray is that?! are you praying or trying to swindle some lady!?]

'Oh shut up! I have never prayed in my life!'

...

In counterpart, Zamira blushed when she heard his words, she thought they were quite romantic.

*RUMBLE!!!*

All of the sudden, the world atmosphere changed, gaining a degree of 'weightiness' to it, so much so that Zamira and Constantine felt it.

[This is divinity... she's here, to think that rubbish prayer worked, foolish lovestruck goddess...]

Constantine gasped, Aurelianne is here?

All of a sudden they felt the ground shake and beside their struck eyes, from a small root, a tree started to form out of nothing, Andre who was nearby never woke up, instead, he felt as if the ground was more cosy and soft, emitting a warm vitality that comforted his soul.

The tree kept growing for several seconds in front of Zamira's awestruck expression, it wasn't a small tree by any means, it looked like one of those trees that have lived for thousands of years, reaching a height of thirty metres.

"..." Constantine was silent all along as he saw how in the tree's stem, the figure of a lady started to form from the wood.

Her wooden eyes opened and settled on his body.

"Say that again..." The voice was filled with overwhelming divinity of life as the trees around all grew slightly in size and strength.

"Aurelianne..." He didn't listen to her words, rather his captivated eyes settled on her figure, he had missed her.

"My champion, your prayer... please say it again..." She requested, placing both arms on her belly and smiling with expectations.

"Oh goddess of my heart... please may you show mercy on my soul... and show your beautiful countenance in front of me... I miss you... I m-miss those two big eyes of yours..." he repeated it, still awed at her from inside the wooden steam, he had truly missed her.

The Goddess giggled, taking her wooden arm to her mouth, "I loved it, those two big eyes huh, I guess my two big eyes are really BIG and soft~" A knowing glint was exchanged between the two, a slightly lusty one.

He smirked, "You know what I mean..."

"Come here..." She said, beaconing him to come by her side.

The champion did and asked and approached her.

"Mortal, turn around..."

She then said to Zamira who was released from her awe and hurriedly turned around, THAT'S A GODDESS! A REAL LIVING GODDESS!

When Constantine was in front of her, they merely looked at one another with passion concealed beneath, recalling their last wonderful yet pitiful memories.

Her body was exactly like her whole self, wearing a dress that wasn't translucent now as her entire body was made out of wood.

"Worship me~" She requested and raised her chest up proudly.

"You're such a perverted goddess, Aurelianne~" He whispered into her ears and placed both of his hands on her boobs, they weren't soft by any means, but she relished at the touch.

"I love you... my eyes have never left you, I saw every moment, but... I couldn't do anything to assist you if you didn't pray to me" She said, rubbing her cheeks against his and hugging him against her body like a mother hugs her child that she hasn't seen in a long time, it was the deepest love.

"Me too, I missed you..." He embraced her back, it hadn't been long but her figure together with his wives had been in his mind at all times.

"We didn't finish our bonding." The Goddess whispered by his ears huskily, not trying to do anything lustful as with her current body, it would be for nought.

"I will become a demigod soon and make sure that you're properly satisfied and filled once I return, alright?" Her huskiness couldn't possibly match his, even if her boobs were made out of wood, he could still feel the phantom softness only she could provide.

His words contained a promise.

"I can't wait, please do it fast~ now, I see that you got me a worshipper that threatened my faith? should I be jealous?~ but I don't think it is unexpected..." The goddess pouted and he moved to the side, holding her hand.

He simply shrugged.

"Tell me something, what about Zebellia...?" The Goddess asked with a glare.

[Tell her that she can mind her own business...] The shameless horse didn't think twice before openly slandering and insulting, a message he wouldn't relay.

"She said that she will be a good little horse and cause no trouble." He smirked, aware that it wouldn't end at that, and indeed, it didn't.

[HEY!!!]

*RUMBLE!!!*

A big shockwave left his body at that moment and the world came to a sudden stop!

Constantine saw how everything turned grey except for himself and Aurelianne in the tree.

A massive eye opened in front of him, purple in colour, slit.

"Time Valkyrie..." Aurelianne growled, the same entity that had been in her mind all this while.

"As I told him, you can mind your own business, Goddess of Life, you should know why I am here..." Zebellia spoke solemnly, her voice that of a mighty creature.

"Toki..."

"That's it... until he completes the trial, I will be accompanying him, don't think that I am afraid of you, Goddess of Life, you're a mere minor goddess, regardless of your origin~"

!!!

The Goddess gasped at that last part and her glare on her intensified further, "If that's the case, I also know there is something wrong going on with you, Valkyrie."

"Don't try to act cooky, so what if you have conjectures? in the end, you have nothing... but I know everything about you, bear that in mind."

*RUMBLE!!*

Having already delivered her message, the eye disappeared and the world went back to normal, the butterflies kept flying and Andre kept snoring, the oxygen flowed across Zamira's lungs, not even a second had passed.

"What does she mean, Aurelianne...?" Constantine had heard everything and there is obviously something going on, what is it about Aurelianne's origin?

"She's talking about something personal, the way I was birthed into this world, you don't have to worry, I think... she doesn't have ill intentions." She bit her lips and caressed his cheek, eventually moving her gaze to the purple-haired girl.

"Rise your head, mortal."
