Chapter 394: A Mother On A Mission

Hearing Eie's explanation caused Kana to raise an eyebrow. A thought came to mind after hearing what she had to say. "Eie, how is your world's defensive tech?"

"Defensive? Hmm… It depends on what you are looking for. There are area barriers that will only let the people registered to them through, a mobile barrier that can be used around large moving objects, and then there is the skin barrier which protects one's body. Why do you ask?" Eie answered. She had an inkling of why Kana asked, but she still asked why just to be sure.

Kana turned and looked at her babies. Hearing that there was a skin barrier, she was hoping that maybe Eie knew how to make them. "I want something to protect my babies…."

Eie looked at Rain, Angelica, and Yana. She thought for a moment before smiling. She stood up and put her hands on her hips and said: "As long as you don't eat me and give me free room and board, I will do what I can."

"How about this. You can be our tech person, and we will even build you an underground lab so you can build whatever you want. If you need parts, you can ask Creige or me to make them. But you have to build and maintain our defenses, what do you say?" Kana knew this world had very little along the lines of technology. Some of which are easily replaced by magic but with some technology mixed in, she could feel more rest assured that nothing would happen to her family when she goes out to level up. 

"You got a deal!" hearing they will give her a lab and build her parts, Eie became excited! These was much better conditions than what she got back in her own world, where she had to share a lab with others!

"Then the first thing I ask you to make and as powerful as you can is three skin barriers for my babies." Kana asked with a bowed head. This caught Eie off guard, but she understood. Her mind wandered slightly as memories of her own past flashed in her mind…

"Mommy, are you going to work again? You said you would stay home today..." A small child asked. It was a small little human boy wearing dinosaur pajamas, holding a teddy bear in his hand. He looked up at the woman in a white lab coat in front of him with watery eyes and a pout on his lips. 

"Dear, I know I said I would stay home, but the lab just called and said they made a breakthrough. I can not, not be there. If the new machine works, we will be able to finally cross over into other dimensions. But Mommy promises to be home later." The woman said as she kissed the young boy on the cheek before turning to the woman standing there silently awaiting orders, saying a few words to her, and then walking out the door. 

Little did the woman know that this was going to be the last time she would ever be able to see her son again. That very same day, when they activated the machine, an accident had happened, sending the woman to another world and dimension altogether. 

She woke up to find herself in a tiny body in the middle of the woods. Confusion had quickly set in as she looked around, trying to figure out what was going on. But once she settled down, the thought of never going home to see her son again really took a toll on her. It was then that she ran into more of her kind and found out she was now from a race called the Talieb, a race that never died. 

She took on the name Eie and spent thousands of years developing her people and modernizing the world there. Because of her vast knowledge in science and quickly learning how magic works, she was able to make her Talieb race the most powerful race on her world. She was asked to be their ruler many times, but Eie did not care for those things. She was too caught up in trying to create a machine that could open a path back to her homeworld so she could hopefully find out what happened to her son. 

But on the day she finally built the machine that may have done what she wanted most, the people behind her used it to harness the singularity that appeared. This was the main reason why she volunteered to go through the dimensional gate. Even if it was nothing more than a 0.0000000000001% chance of meeting her son again, she had to risk it all. The rest of what happened was because she kinda lost herself in her own little world when she arrived. She had planned to use the projection machine as a means to scare off anyone around her landing point. But once she started acting, she ended up going overboard.

"Eie?" Kana noticed that Eie had zoned out and wondered what was wrong.

"Ahh! Yes, no problem. I will come up with the designs for some testing equipment first. I need to be able to extract the magic from the air first and do a few tests to make sure this world's magic is the same as my own." Eie came out of her daze and answered.

"Then I will need to thank you ahead of time." Kana gave her sincere thanks. She now felt like her little accident was well worth the trouble it caused. But she felt like Eie had something deeper on her mind than technology. The look she had on her face just now was much different than before. It was as if she was longing for something. This made Kana even more curious about Eie and her history.

Eie let out a sigh of relief. Just knowing she could continue her work, even though she was starting from scratch, she did not care. She only cared about trying to make a path back to her home world. Nothing was more important than going back home to her son even if he was already dead.
