Surprise!

“Welcome to Acacia Village.” I read. I turned to my companion, Hermes and gave him a questioning look. “Any thoughts why the village is named after a tree?”

He shrugged and said; “No idea. They were the ones who named the village. We tend to not intervene with them and look after them from afar.”

-Right.

The two of us, dressed in incognito, headed inside the village. I couldn’t help but marvel at the scene before me. The village was a breath of fresh air. Sure, there were people crowding the road, but the place was not as big, nor as crowded, as Azte City.

Definitely a breath of fresh air.

“What do you think Nyxtriel?” Hermes asked his mouth in a proud smile.

Right. They have settled in calling me Nyxtriel again instead of Luna. They said it would be safe to use the name as long as I was with one of the foreign gods. Since they were close to me and Elthesia, it would not be suspicious if they invoke my name, and would not draw the celestials’ attention.
