Chapter 69- Divine Visitors
[Amaterasu POV]
It had been a few days since Keeno and the others left Vanir’s capital. They were currently making their way to Nidavellir as it was the only place that shared a border with Vanir and Falheim. And while it was just a few days ago, they were already stuck hiding out in a small city while a storm the likes of which Vanir hadn’t seen in thousands of years. While the three of them were sitting in an inn room playing around with Huginn and Muninn and chatting, I felt the presence of someone entering my home. I turned to see who it was and was surprised.
““Rasu!!””
Two goddesses that looked remarkably similar to each other jumped up and hugged me.
“It’s been so long since you’ve spoken to us.” (???)
“Yeah! Nearly 20 years is too long to just seclude yourself!” (???)
After a few minutes of being squeezed to the point of not being to talk later, I was finally released. The two backed up and, with their hands on their hips, pouted at me. These two were the twin goddesses of Home, Nature, War, and Family, though no gods have figured out which one was which. Though they looked similar, they had features that distinguished them. The taller of the two had sandy blond hair with light blue highlights, light pinky eyes, had a slightly large chest, and wore a frilly jacket over something that looked like light armor, only made of normal cloth. Her name is Fu. The shorter one had the same color hair as her sister only with light pink highlights, light blue eyes, and was flatter than a cliff. She wore a small jacket with a fluffy collar and a shirt that left her midriff exposed, and short pants. Her name was Moco. Both had a pair of wolf ears on their heads and a matching tail, both tipped with the respective highlights of their hair.
{Before that, at least let me know when you two are going to visit so I can make myself presentable.}
“No can do, Rasu!” (Fu)
“If we did that, then you’d hide everything interesting!” (Moco)
The two then got close to me again but froze up.
“Moco...” (Fu)
“Yes, Fu, I can feel it too, now that we aren’t trying to surprise her.” (Moco)
“Rasu!” (Fu)
“Sit.” (Moco)
“And.” (Fu)
“Tell.” (Moco)
“Us.” (Fu)
“Who.” (Moco)
“You.” (Fu)
““Married!”” (Both)
{And this is why I was putting this off.}
I made three chairs appear and we all sat down. They waved a hand each and a table and some tea appeared along with a few snacks.
{Well, 19 years ago, a poor soul got caught up in a situation where our world and another got close and some ancient special magic activated, throwing her soul into the Sea of Chaos. The God of Chaos then put her soul in my home, where I found her, and learned she was my Fated One. I nursed her soul back to health, in a sense, and when she woke up, we talked a bit, then she reincarnated, though Phobos got in the way and did some things I’m still upset about.}
“Idiot Phobos.” (Moco)
“Just because he means well, doesn’t mean he needs to stick his nose into every little thing. It just gets in the way a lot of the time.” (Fu)
{Anyway, once she reincarnated, I sent Fia to get her out of Falheim, when she did, they moved to Solheim, and she grew up, now she’s on an adventure to dismantle the Dead Zones and get things in the world on track.}
“Ooooooohhhhh.” (Fu)
“We were wondering why a Dead Zone disappeared. It’s still what, 10,000 or so years early?” (Moco)
{Give or take a few. Anyway, that’s why I’ve secluded myself so much recently, I’ve been watching over my Fated One.}
“I see, I see. Though it’s more under your purview, would you like our blessing of Home and Family to help getting a little kitsune goddess running around here?” (Moco)
{Definitely not! Neither of us want a kid, we’ve discussed it in detail and have both agreed to never have one! I will accept getting your blessings so that our family and home life are better, but no fertility blessings, not that they work well on gods anyway.}
“Oh well, we think a tiny you would be kind of absolutely adorable, but if that’s the decision the two of you agreed with, then we won’t pursue it further.” (Fu)
“Yep, yep. But we would love to meet her!” (Moco)
“That is a fact we are unwilling to let go! We must meet this Fated One of yours!” (Fu)
{Well, you can’t meet her right now, seeing as she can only show up here during Solar Convergence, we can talk to her and one sidedly watch her.}
““Then what are we waiting for?”” (Both)
“Don’t worry, that little wolf will be treated with all the love and attention she deserves and then more.” (Keeno)
{Yeah. And when I meet her in person, I’m going to give her so many headpats that she may get a title.}
“She may have one already.” (Keeno)
“True, true, she seems so headpattable that even we want to descend just to give her some.” (Moco)
“Yep, yep. Makes me want to make her my daughter just so I can spoil her.” (Fu)
“That’s a great idea, Fu! Though I want her to be my daughter. You can be the aunt!” (Moco)
“NO! IT WAS MY IDEA FIRST!” (Fu)
“BUT I’M THE OLDER ONE OF US!” (Moco)
“LIES! WE CAME TO BE AT THE SAME TIME!” (Fu)
“NO! I CAME TO BE A NANOSECOND EARLIER!” (Moco)
I snapped my finger and a magic barrier that cut off all sound around them appeared.
{They’ll be at it for a while.}
“They seem fun.” (Keeno)
{They can be. Now, what is that, that you were writing?}
Keeno’s face then immediately started to turn red, and she quickly tried to cover the paper she placed in front of her.
{Oh? The only time I’ve ever seen you react like this was when you wrote poetry. Are you starting it up again?}
“I-I don’t k-know what you’re t-t-talking about, Ama. There’s no poetry here. Especially not the steamier, only for Ama’s eyes kind.” (Keeno)
{Tch, tch, tch. A shame. If there was any poetry like that, it might give me some ideas for our next rendezvous.}
“...” (Keeno)
{Hehehehehe.}
With the twin goddesses still arguing next to me, I spent the rest of the day teasing Keeno about her poetry that I was going to coax out of her at some point soon.
Chaos Realm:
Red: Where...is Red?
Keeno: RED!!! *Pulls Red into a headpat-hug combo*
Red: Big sister...Keeno. Where...are we?
Keeno: A safe place.
Luna: Are you sure about that?
Keeno: Yes, big sis Luna. I know you won’t drag Red away to give her a Fluff lecture right now.
Luna: ...True. Red is still too busy to do anything about her Fluff. So instead, I’m going to also headpat her. *Does as she just said*
Red: ...Bliss.
Luna: Hmm. I declare you your world’s most headpattable being.
Red: ...
Keeno: Can you do that?
Luna: Only here. I’ll ask for permission later.
Keeno: Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Luna: Meh. Future me’s problem now.
Keeno: ...
Luna: Don’t look at me like that. If you think I’m bad, then let me tell you about Atmos. She’s basically my world’s version of Loki, only not usually evil.
