The following day, I woke up to find that Tallia was already gone. That was strange since she usually didn't wake up so early. I got out of bed and began getting dressed when my goddess walked through the door.
"Well, aren't you looking bright and beautiful? You are looking pretty good after the way you were making love to that wine bottle last night!" I laughed, and Tallia gave me a small smile as she brought me a cup of tea.
"It took some healing to get me to this point, and I tried to heal you, but you seemed to be perfectly fine. Did you not drink last night?" Tallia asked as I took the cup, and I smiled.
"I did drink a bit, but then you came and sat in my lap and passed out, so I slowed down after that. Then we went back to Snowy's palace, and I did drink a bit while we played cards, but I was more concerned about spending time with everyone. Plus, you were so cute when you were drunk! I would have paid just to have you alone and acting that cute!" I laughed, and then suddenly, Berry, my little Blue Bell I had found, jumped over to my shoulder. "Hey, squirt! Have you been good for Tallia?" I asked her, and she nodded her small head.
"Yes! I am always a good girl~!" She said, jumping on my shoulder happily, and I smiled as I patted her small head but frowned.
"Since when could you talk?" I asked, looking over at Tallia. When I had dropped Berry off to her, the oversized blue squirrel had just been chirping.
"She just started talking a day ago. I was going to tell you, but so many things have been going on lately. Did I really get that drunk last night? I hardly remember anything after we had finished eating," Tallia said with a sigh and then kissed her cheek.
"It's fine. If anyone needed it, it was you. I am curious how Melrose, Della, and Lani fared. I really hadn't expected there to be so many Catfolk on the beach!" I laughed, and Tallia smiled with a shrug.
"The women of Bramma would have been fine. The worst the Cats would have done would be to ask them constant questions because they look so different from other humans. I think that I am going to spend the entire day reading in bed. I have been going to see Melrose almost every day, so I am going to have a lazy day," Tallia said, and I kissed her cheek.
"You deserve it," I said and then scratched Berry's head.
"What are your plans for today?" Tallia asked as she leaned into me, and I put my free arm around her shoulder.
"Hmm. That is a good question. I have to go to the Underworld at some point, but I think I will wait a few days before I go do that. I think today and tomorrow are going to be spent on the Amazon Island. I had really wanted to go to one island at a time, but that just wasn't realistic. At the same time, I want to go and spend some time with Titania and the other goddesses," I said with a sigh, and Tallia looked up at me with a grin.
"You think, for a god that is so powerful, you would be able to make copies of yourself to go around," Tallia laughed, and I nodded.
"Yeah, but it is not like I have a time limit, and I want to personally spend my time with you all, not clones of me," I said, and Tallia smiled.
"Well, then, I think you should get going soon. But I'm going to miss you," Tallia said and then cuddled closer to me.
"I promise that when I am done with the other goddesses, I will come back here, just for you," I said and then kissed her forehead again.
Tallia nodded and then snuggled close to me, telling me about all the things that she had been doing since I had been gone.
We talked for a while until, finally, it was time for me to go. We said our goodbyes, and I opened up a portal.
When I stepped through, I was in the metallic room of the Golden Egg Repository, where my Father stayed and handed out the Golden Eggs.
"My son! Have you come to see me?!" Kadeon exclaimed as he appeared before me.
I didn't want to have small talk with my dad, but I did have some questions about my Golden Egg with Breya. Since he was the one to give them out, I assumed he would be the person to ask about them.
"I have come to ask you some questions, so I guess you could say that I came to see you, but only because I want something from you," I said, and Kadeon sighed.
"Well, even if it is just to ask a question, I am glad to be of service to you!" Kadeon laughed, and I was tempted to leave just to avoid this horribly awkward moment that he was just making worse.
"What is the deal with my Golden Eggs that I create? Is it going to be a little girl like I assumed?" I asked, and Kadeon nodded.
"Yes, that will be the Angel and your blood child. Just like you guessed, it will only take one month for the child to be born, but after that, they will grow at a normal speed like any newborn," Kadeon explained, and I opened a portal to leave, but he put up his hands. "Wait! You are leaving already?!"
"Yeah, I need to head to the Amazon Island. If there is anything else you want to know, just ask," I said, but Kadeon waved his hands.
"No, no, it's not that. I just wanted to give you this! It is called a 'Light Up the Night,' and it will allow you to create your own stars in the night sky," Kadeon handed me a small box with an ornate bow on it.
