Finally, I am here!!
You might be wondering where I am! I am currently on Jupiter. I have reached my destination. Though it didn't go as smoothly as it should have been.
I used my
The remaining 40 percent…I gave that to System. Because as they are now, they can't handle more than 10 percent. I can't put their lives at risk.
So here I am, standing in a field. It's barren. Is it a desert?
"Fay, is this supposed to be a desert because I landed where you marked."
"No. This place should be a lakeside. But where did the water go?" (Fay)
Fay herself is quite flustered. Hazel is looking at the horizon. Aura has Eden up on her shoulder. Aegis and Aera have gone to sleep in their compact form.
They worked the most so I think they deserve a long rest. So let's use some of my skills that I really don't use.
I get to my knees and take some dust.
"Appraisal."
I use my appraisal skill. I didn't use it since checking their status. It showed me a bunch of things but the one thing that caught my eyes was a curse.
"Seriously, Fay, do the people of your kingdom love curses?"
"Why? Was this land cursed?" (Fay)
"Yes. Seems that someone has cursed the spirits of this land. So they left this place. And it turned into a desert."
"Someone who can curse spirits? No human can do that. So it must have been a god." (Fay)
"I see. So a god did this. Should I return it back to normal?"
"Can you do that?" (Fay)
"I may not have all of my
I drop a little bit of
The lakeside is restored. Just a single drop of my
"And that's that. The lakeside is restored. The curse is gone. Shall we head on?"
"Wait, I think the spirits are trying to thank you. Look.."
Fay pointed at the lake. I look to my left and see the water rising. Soon the body of water became humanoid and it took the shape of a female.
"Good human…you have saved us. Please accept our sincere gratitude."
She bowed before me. I guess she is Undine.
"So are you a kin of Undine or Undine herself?"
I ask her. She looked up and was kind of shocked.
"I did not expect a human to know about us. You know my name?"
"So you are Undine. Nice to meet you. I am Clive Belmont. A fellow human who hails from Gaia."
I gave my introduction and said where I am from. I used Gaia as my planet's name.
"From Gaia? That is light years apart from this star. How did you arrive here?" (Undine)
"That doesn't matter right now. But I am curious. Who can curse an Undine? You are the culmination of all the water, right?"
"Yes. But this curse…..it was a delayed curse. I think I was cursed many millennia ago but it only took effect now." (Undine)
This is interesting. So a delayed illness. Now I wanna know who cursed her?
I used appraisal again and found out the root of the curse and the condition for its activation.
"Undine, how is your relation with the god of Intoxication?"
"God of Intoxication? That god gets on my nerve. If I could, I would just murder him." (Undine)
Yeah. I think I can say what's right.
"Undine, the god of Intoxication cursed you. The condition was his death. So upon his death, your curse would activate and you would slowly lose all your powers and eventually become nothingness."
"His death? How did he die?" (Undine)
"I am sorry for the trouble. I killed him. So your suffering was on me. In this case, let's say that I owe you one."
She became silent. She isn't talking. I take a look at others as well.
Hazel, Aura and Eden are curiously looking at Undine. However Fay is nodding sideways like, 'There he goes again.' What? Are you disappointed?
"I know that it sounds weird but I killed that guy. I killed him indirectly but I did kill him."
I was trying to convince her but she didn't say anything. And she got to her knees.
"Master, please accept my allegiance." (Undine)
"Allegiance? Your? Are you submitting to me?"
"Yes. I have deemed you worthy to be my master. A superior being who can kill a god is worthy to be our master. Since creation, we have searched for someone who can be our master. Now that search ends." (Undine)
Uuhhhhh….how to respond! I look at my party.
Hazel is smirking. Aura and Eden are smiling. Eh…..Fay, she's sighing.
"Wait a moment, what should I do?"
I ask them.
"Why not take her with us master? She seems to understand your majesty." (Hazel)
So Hazel found a kindred spirit.
"Why not do it honey? She seems nice and Eden is thrilled to have a new big sister." (Aura)
So the mother-daughter duo is happy because they are getting a new travel companion. And Fay refused to give her input.
"Well then, happy to have you, Undine."
"No, master. Give me a name. Your name will give me a definite existence." (Undine)
So, a name? Tough! Feels like I have given new names to many things in these past few days.
"Then your name is Doris from now. It means the child of water."
"Doris….such a beautiful name. Thank you master." (Doris)
Doris started glowing. And a big light engulfed us. So I had to close my eyes. But when I opened, I saw an unbelievably beautiful woman.
She has pale blue hair and a complexion which would make even white milk look pale. Her eyes are blue as the ocean and she is donning a blue one piece.
She is standing on the water like it's nothing. Her smile is making the water ripple.
Before, she was just a body of water that would look like a human, but now, she looks exactly like a human.
And not to mention, she is curvaceous. A woman I can say beautiful. That's an honest praise from me.
I have called only a few woman beautiful. My mother, she is beautiful. Then Hazel. Next was Fay. Yeah..she is a tomboy beauty. Then Aura. A mature big sister type. Now Doris who looks like she would spoil you a lot.
"Thank you master. This Doris will serve her for the rest of your life." (Doris)
"Then be ready to be amazed. If you keep getting surprised like a certain someone, you won't survive much longer."
"Who are you mentioning?" (Fay)
She is sharp when it comes to sarcasm. But just after landing, I got my first companion of this planet. Let's head to the kingdom now.
