Chapter 6: The Moving Mountain?

After an hour or so from resting. I fortunately am already in the nude. I grab a towel,body soap,shampoo and some hair conditioner. Yunago suggested we take a bath together. Thankfully our bedroom has its own personal bathroom. I nod in agreement and walk in starting the water. Not to long from now I look out the nearest window and see the sun rising over the horizon. I turn the shower faucet off and ease my way into the most warm and relaxing water I've felt in a while. Yunago does the same and washes my back along with putting soap in my hair. "You should grow your hair out. I know you love your neck length hair and your Skyra's mini me. But why not add a bit of individuality. After all your Luna. Not Skyra 2.0 hehe." She giggled massaging my scalp forgetting my head can pop off if im too relaxed. She was startled for a second and remembered im a dullahan.

"Im never gonna get used to seeing black smoke coming out of your neck. Is that a bad thing that its like...that color?" She asked curiously. I giggled and had my body take my head back putting it on backwards on accident. "Not really..the smoke just shows that we are indeed different from humans and can be useful as a signal for dire cases. Say like being stranded on a island...ok..the smoke won't be that visible but ya get what im saying right?" I asked while switching the position of my head. She scratched her firey orange hair confused. I leaned forward kissing her and boop her nose. Fifteen minutes later. We get out the bath and dry off. Today I wanted to continue exploring Nasaag rumors as of late have been going around that ever since Ya'fir was taken into captivity giantess and giants have been spotted on the northern coast of the continent. I get dressed and bring Vevi with me. We ask around about these giantess and most of the kobold people refer a map of this path leading to a strange creature. "Sounds a bit far fetch don't ya think? A creature that can move mountains or blend into them?" I say doubting a being such as that can exist.

"Luna. Seriously to most humans. Creatures like kobolds,dragon people, bunny well actual bunny people and especially dullahans don't even exist. Yet Neo has all these creatures and than some. So a mountain moving giantess doesn't seem that far fetched. Least not to me. I mean Ya'fir proved that they do exist. The woman stood at least ten to twelve feet tall. Maybe taller." She commented while reading a pocket sized book. It was titled "What to Do and Not Do When Confronting A Giantess". We head for a trail into the forest nearby and look for signs of any sort of unusual behaviour. It isn't long before Vevi spotted some unusual rocks misplaced from their original position. "Maybe a Ulmus came by. Ya know the creatures that look like large mammoths but are smaller than elephants. They also have no tusks but are furry. One picked me up and put me on its back. I named it Jerry." I smiled remembering him. We actually saw a baby Ulmus with its momma pass by us. The momma sniffed Vevi and me. "Hehe. Hi momma. Hi little one hehe. You stay with momma now don't want her to leave you behind." I gently said trying not to frighten the baby. The baby uses its trunk to grab its mother's tail. The mother makes a deep groan that I guess is its approval of her liking me.

"Ulmus get big but not big enough to move mountains. Come on Im sure we can find something around her. That or Daddy Ulmus may be behind making sure his spouse and baby get to the herd safely."She says while flapping her little blue wings. We continue the hike and find that a few trees up ahead are bended in a rather unusual way. Someone with an insane amount of strength had to not only bend these mighty trees but twist them into perfect knots without them breaking. "What in Nea's name did this? Vevi we may wanna keep going. Those misplaced rocks, these trees. Who knows what else we'll find." I say before I decide to fly myself off the ground grabbing Vevi and carrying her high into the air covering way more ground. She seemed to be enjoying this so far. "Ya think an land of giants would be easy to spot right!! Well this is not easy so far!!" She shouted as the wind was muffling part of what she was saying.

"We may have to descend soon V. But be careful were gonna be in newfound territory who knows what enemies or weirdoes may await." I warned her. We safely landed in a large grassy meadow with these ancient yet strange looking trees. The trunks were a dark blue while its leaves white and pink. We decided to walk into what was a arch way for another forest. A sign said this was the forest of Vindel. I didn't think too much of its name but Vevi read in her book that this place was for those who wanted to reconnect with nature or just meditate here peacefully. I patted her head and giggled. Night fall was fastly approaching. Strange I could've sworn we had at least six more hours of daylight. I take a flashlight out of my back pack and shine the light in front of us. The deeper we went into this forest the darker and creepier it got. "Luna..um..Do ya think we can teleport outta here. Im starting to get freaked out." She said wrapping her tail around my leg. I pick her up and placed her on my shoulders. We each hold a flashlight. Soon enough the sun is completeley gone and the moon takes its place. An eerie white glow encircled the moon not only that but seem way to close for Neo's sake. Me and Vevi could see craters and every other minute detail that was engraved into it.

"What..w..why is Vekon so close to us? D..do you think your mom could put this thing back into its position. Its scaring me." She says nervously. We go further into the forest and see the weirdest and possibly strangest thing yet. A naked woman jumps out the bushes wearing a feathered crown on her head and some strange leather shoes with native american like anklets. She holds a stick with a dirty skull tied to it and does a strange dance. "W..who the heck are you?" I asked. The woman did seem familiar. Her white face paint and her long gray hair struck me as a friend of mom's. "I am the shaman of Neo. I am A'shleki Ona. I am the one who resurrected Skyra the Goddess of Space and Time. What brings the mighty Aether to these parts?" She asked before getting on her knees and bowing. Me and Vevi look at each other confused and a bit weirded out. "Uh..well we're after this tale of a creature who can move mountains. Rumor has it..Its uh..a giantess and there are more well..giants nearby. W..will you help us?" I ask trying not to look at her pale butt sticking up into the air while the moon lights shines on it. A'shleki stands back up and stretches before answering my question. "Well mighty Luna.This rumour of giants is it? Well I can confirm they in fact are real. But have they been spotted here in the Forest of Vekal? Hmm. In passing yes. But living here no. So maybe they use this forest as a route to get to were ever they go. Hmm an homeland of giants..Now that is something Neo has never seen." She says nonchalantly scratching her exposed breasts.

"D..do you have clothes or are you just um..how do I say this..going all natural. Its distracting when trying to form a conversation." Vevi shyly remarks. The shaman woman looked down at her naked body and simply blushed followed by a shrug.

"Funny story about that. I was too taking a hike through this beautiful forest a few days ago. I had a sack fool of clothes,food,herbs,spells and even under garments along with a first aid kit. I decided to set up camp for the night and all was fine until..well I undressed and took a bath in a nearby river. When I finshed my bath I found my sack with a hole in it and my clothes were stolen. Not panties to even wear. So..I followed the trail of what stole them. Its was a little baby Ukku.

Or a small furry ball thats sentient. It thought my clothes were food. As soon as it spit its acid. I knew I was not getting my clothes back. Hehe. So..Im just a naked shaman lady with food,spells and books." She giggled. "Sorry to hear about that. Do you have a spell that could conjure you up some clothes or make you invisible?" Vevi asked. The shaman shook her head no and giggled more. "No worries after all in nature being naked is more relaxing than being clothed. I usually only wear clothes to blend in with society and to protect myself from the freezing cold. It doesn't really bother me much. Perhaps you two should lose your clothes and undergarments. I'll even help you toss them into the fire." She suggested. We both decline and thankfully Vevi changed the subject while I snuck glances at the shaman's beautiful slim physique. "So..how exactly will we know when were near an giantess. Is there a area where they're mostly spotted?" She asked.

"No..can't say. Unless..." She folded her arms thinking. "Unless what A'shleki?" I asked. "Unless you...GET NAKED. That's right if you both get naked they'll think your more in tune with nature. If your looking for this fabled mountain giantess. That may be the key." She suggested. Vevi and I looked at each other not feeling too hyped for the idea. We looked back at A'shleki and wondered if there was another way. "Nope. Can't say their is..Hmm..Lets see here in my big book. To attract an giantess...naked....or..hmmm..Ah!! Ah ha!! You could remove your shoes or rub...ehh...I don't think you two would wanna rub tree sap on your naked bodies just to attract them. After all the intelligence of such creatures exceeds even the smartest Neotic.

So hopefully things go well for ya. What's your choice Luna and Vevi?" She asks while poofing her book back to who knows where. We both remove our shoes and tied the laces together. "Aww..your not getting naked? Booo you two don't wanna have any fun...well if ya keep heading north and than turn left. Down that path is a large open field that may lead to your giantess. Good luck and one more thing. You may regret not getting nude. See ya at the village hehe." She vanished into a pink cloud of smoke.

"What ya think she meant by that Luna? We took our shoes off. What more could happen?" Vevi asked as we walked side by side we make it to where A'shleki mentioned. A vast open space of an meadow green and mountains perfectly walled off the landscapes. The air was warm and it smelled nice. We each got tired and hungry. Vevi flies off my shoulder and eats a granola bar and an sandwich. While I eat a salad. We end up sleeping peacefully until...
