Little Amaterasu

Ren and Freya was teleported to a dark place with an altar at the center.

"I'm feeling nostalgic for some reason." Freya was a bit down and emotional.

"Well, we did spend a lot of time together in that world." Ren nodded.

"The house, and the other things will disappear..." Freya shook her head with a pained smile thinking about it.

"Don't worry, we will build another one, okay? I'm still here." Ren also felt the same.

You could say, that world, that place, strengthened their relationship to a whole other dimension.

Even though it was only two years, a lot changed for the two of them.

"Yes..." Freya nodded.

'I wonder what the reward will be...' Ren thought, he was feeling excited, not forgetting his purpose.

A black flame was released from the altar.

The flame flew toward their direction, specifically for Ren.

Freya was immediately alerted.

"It's fine." Ren stopped Freya who was about to defend him.

"...Okay." Freya nodded, she didn't feel any malicious intent coming from the flame.

"This is the reward." Ren commented. The flame went it and got absorbed by his body.

Freya waited for him for a bit before checking.

"What's the reward?"

Ren had his eyes closed and it soon opened. A smile was plastered on his face.

"My vitality and mental energy has been enhanced for at least five times. With this, improving my magic would be easy." Ren spoke while trying his magic, summoned lightning on his hand.

Ren added as a mass of darkness and fiery blue flame appeared, "I'm now a Tri-elemental wielder."

"Dark and fire element!" Freya was surprised, and her face was also full of smiles.

"Yeah, but if I have to pick a War Maiden is still the better one." Ren said hoping that he could still go to the Blue Sun.

"Are you talking about me, or are you talking about the other War Maiden that you couldn't get, hm?" Freya frowned.

Ren rolled his eyes with her unnecessary jealousy or is it even jealousy in the first place? Spending time with her in that illusory world, he couldn't actually tell if she does love him as the opposite sex, or it is simply her possessiveness toward him.

So he responded, "Ask me that after you become my woman."

"Humph! Unfaithful brat." Freya snorted.

Ren shook his head, he doesn't want to bother arguing with a woman.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared up above. Ren was very familiar with this scene, it was how Freya descended.

"This breath...!" Freya frowned and soon her eyes turned wide in shock.

"Child, no. A fairy, not quite. A chibi?!!" The scene was so majestic and full of elegant nobility. His mind immediately thought that a beautiful woman would appear.

However, although it is indeed very beautiful to the point of breathtaking. Deep-black sultry hair that cascaded over her back, her eyes were closed, so Ren couldn't see what colors they are.

Her body was well... he can't tell. But he bet that if it was the adult form or version, this one would be a great, and curvaceous beauty.

The face were god-like, and her skin was pure white. The aura that is exuded from her countenance is that of a pure untainted goddess, descending upon the mortal world.

Clad with a light colored ancient robe, further heightening her identity of being otherworldly. On her forehead, there was a red symbol. He didn't know what it meant, but surely it has a very deep meaning.

"Hello, I'm Amaterasu. The goddess of the Sun. Please take care of me." Her voice was a bit cute, and as her eyes opened it was dyed grey. But those eyes felt like there was a story that needs to be told.

"A goddess..." Freya was about to pay her respect but stopped. For beings like Freya, they obviously contain a lot of knowledge about the world, and knowing a goddess is a matter of fact.

Moreover, those that are entitled as gods and goddesses. She knows the immensity of that name. Supposedly or normally, she would kneel and bow in respect. Despite that being the case, the only one she would kneel and pay respects now was only her master.

Even if it was a divine, it doesn't matter.

"A goddess? Hmm, from what I know there are 14 gods and goddesses. The two, goddesses of Creation and Destruction. And the 12 main gods. I don't recall knowing one of the fourteen having the name Amaterasu." Yes, Ren knew who Amaterasu was, but that was the one from earth. In this world, Elysium. There is no such thing as goddess of the sun, Amaterasu, according to his knowledge.

"Those are the superior gods. I suppose, I'm a branch goddess of the fire god." Amaterasu answered.

"...I see. Then, what will our relationship be?" Ren asked after thinking for a bit. The world that he knew really is not the same or is changing, unknown things keeps reccuring. He needed a lot of time to absorb this information.

"Equals. Completing this trial has given you the right to become an equal with me, the goddess of the sun. I mainly act as your support, I could teach you magic in the fire department. My strength is sealed, asking me to fight for you is impossible." Amaterasu explained.

"Equals... huh..." Ren looked at Freya. Honestly, if not for her, he may not even get pass the first trial.

"Your War Maiden may have have helped you, but she's a part of your strength. It was your capability to obtain her, so there are no mistakes." Amaterasu said so as if knowing his thoughts.

"I know..." Ren nodded.

Freya also greeted Amaterasu as respectable as she can manage. Her full respect need to be only directed to her master.

Amaterasu hovered close to him, slowly placed her position, sat on his shoulder.

"Eh...?" Ren was a bit tense. She was a goddess for goodness sake.

"What's wrong?" Amaterasu asked.

"Nothing." Ren shook his head.

"Fufu." Freya on his side chuckled.

Ren, Freya, and Amaterasu left the trial's space. After Amaterasu willed it, they were teleported back outside.

Ren quickly turned to look if the Blue Sun was still there. Sadly, it was gone. The Black Sun also followed a minute after.

The immense heat was already gone.

The event was finally over.
