"We were hoping you might be able to help us. You know a lot about the worlds, and we don't want to make any mistakes we can avoid. It's just too strange," Amanda admitted with a pleading look in her golden eyes.
I sighed and thought for a moment before nodding. "Sure, I will do whatever I can. Sounds like something that I will have to check out when on my way to Goldy's island."
"Thank you. There is no rush, but I don't like things that can't be explained. Depending on what is down there inside them, we couple move farther towards free energy. There are many places without power, but it isn't like we don't have ways, but most of them pollute, which isn't something I plan on doing to this world," Amanda explained, and I nodded as I looked at the other two goddesses that were laying down on the ground, groaning, and covered in bruises.
"Are you two done now?" I called over to the two of them, and both girls stuck their middle fingers up to me. "Fine, lay here and be miserable until I get back!"
I gestured for a portal to open and then pecked Amanda's soft but metallic cheek. She turned her head and blushed, making me smile, and then I hopped through into the quiet office of Town Hall. Hilda and Carrie were still slaving away at paperwork, so I just patted both their heads, making the girls actually look up.
"Good girls. You are both working hard, but have you eaten anything yet today? I haven't had time to get you both something, but I will make sure that you do have a good meal if you just tell me what you want," I said, and the two women stared at me in surprise.
"We are surprised that you actually care," Hilda said softly, but she grinned despite her words.
"What?! Of course, I care! You are my people! Now, enough chit-chat. What would you like to eat?" I asked, and both girls started to babble off their favorite dishes, which couldn't be heard above their laughter.
After dealing with the hunger needs of my assistants, I headed into the meeting room where the Mothers were now also eating, but they had seemed to get everything figured out for the most part. The diagram was rough, but I just wanted to give them a chance to have a bit of a choice of what the place was going to look like after.
"So, are you all happy with this?" I asked as I looked over the board one more time. I was going to make many of my own changes to this but I would still be making it in the image that all the women had dreamed of together.
"I think that everything looks good, but I don't really care as long the girls, and I are close to the shops," Grenada Guildmaier said as she wiped her mouth.
"I plan on moving all the factories, smith shops, and things like that in the northwest part of the city, and I will spread your housing and extra around in that area," I explained, and she nodded, but the other women didn't really seem to have much else to say. "Well, I am going to go back out to the edge of Torrian in the south with all the goddesses that have come out to watch. If you can all spread the word on the Vine that everyone should get inside, that would make things a lot more helpful and go smoother."
The women all nodded, and then I went back into the office area and tapped on Hilda's shoulder. She didn't look up until I tapped a second time more insistently.
"Yes? What is it?" Hilda asked in a tired voice as she looked up at me.
"Up. You are coming to watch your city grow with the rest of the goddesses from around the world. Carrie is going to keep working here, but the paperwork isn't going to go anywhere," I said, and Hilda looked hesitant but then sighed as I opened a portal where I could hear a fistfight happening. "There are also other spectacles, it seems."
"If you insist," Hilda said, and I laughed as I led her out of the portal to where Draconia, Ochalla, and my golems were back at it again.
"Done yet ladies?" I asked, and the two stopped, panting hard as my golems crumbled to the ground.
"No!" The Black Dragon Goddess launched at me.
"You might want to go over to the pavilion with the other first. It looks like I need to tire these girls out first," I said as I roundhouse kicked Draconia away from us.
"Umm, okay!" Hilda squeaked and ran off, and Ochalla rushed me, but I just sidestepped and then threw her over my back.
"Ochalla, you need to relax!" I said before Ochalla recovered and charged me again. "I don't want to hurt you, so stop attacking me."
However, the Orc Goddess didn't listen and instead started to shape-shift into a giant tusked boar. I only had seconds to react, so I dodged her, but as I did, Draconia also came in from the side with a fireball that she had been saving up for this very moment.
"Time to end this!" She cried out as the fireball flew towards me.
However, I was already prepared, already having a spell of my own ready, and dropped it just in time.
"FREEZE!" I yelled, and the world stopped spinning. Everyone froze in their tracks except for me.
I quickly figured out what I needed to do and moved Orchalla to where I was, Draconia behind her. I placed a series of nasty trap spells where I assumed they would land and then snapped my fingers. Time kicked back in and the fireball hit Ochalla, who hit Draconia, and both of them were sent tumbling across the ground, then caught in the trap of spells. The two started to get pummeled with all the elements, and by the time it was all said and done, the two were smoking and blackened pair of panting fools left on the ground.
"Now, are we done?"
