Chapter 128 Ragthor

" Help" a young girl whispered. Next to her, several goblins searched for their prey. Sadly her whisper alerted the goblins. Hearing her, the goblins did what any goblin would. They grabbed her and dragged her out of her little hiding spot. Under her bed.

Their sharp nails dug into her legs, making the girl scream in pain, as they dragged her out. The goblins enjoyed her screams of pain and their instincts took over. The girl started struggling, but it was too late. The goblins already had her within their sharp nails.

Just as they were about to steal her maiden hood. A burning blue grey light descended on them, turning them to dust.

A beautiful lady stood in the middle of her room. Her figure would make the sanest mortal give in to their lust.

" Are you okey?" The women asked as she offered a helping hand.

" Yeah, I'm.. okey." The girl said, pausing between her words to take a deep breath. Her face was wet and so was the floor, but the lady didn't mind that and asked.

" Where are your parents?"

" the goblins they they."

" It's okey, I understand, you don't have to say anything!" The lady said, as she snapped her fingers.

The room lit up and all damage to the room disappeared and the little girl got cleaned.

" What's your name little one?" The lady asked.

" Riley."

" Okey then Riley. I am Artemisia Demigoddess of the moon. I am here to get myself enough worshipers to ascend. I'm already part of a pantheon known as Ragthor and they have deemed this world worthy of their protection. Do you wish to be one of my children?" The lady asked the parentless child in front of her.

Like the naive little girl she was, she nodded just as the demigoddess expected.

" Good, from now on you are Riley of the full moon. Welcome to the family!" The lady said, as she withered away and disappeared. Leaving a cloud of grey blue dust that surrounded the little girl, before entering her skin.

The little girl turned grey blue for a second, before she returned to normal. But she was now far from normal. Her new found power refused to be hidden and the pressure from her existence terrified the storms of this world. Making them avoid her city. Making her home town the only city in the world that wasn't being destroyed by stage 5 hurricanes.

~Pov Hephaestus~ (Third person)

" It's so cold." A young man said, shivering from the winter like weather. He was not equipped with the clothes to survive this kind of storm.

" Stop complaining, would you rather be in the storm?" One of the people next to him said, as he kept himself worm, by being close to the others.

Hephaestus saw their pathetic behavior and sighted. He grabbed one of the walls and ripping it of. Then he lit it on fire, after making it levitate in the air.

" Happy you got your warmth." He said, as he sat down in on of the chairs in the room.

" Sir we need to get moving! Riley of the full moon is now in this world. She will either be our ally, or she will be our down fall. We need to recruit her now, before the Litch finds her!" The man insisted, trying to force Hephaestus into action.

" This Riley, you said she was a child?"

" Yes, but she's blessed by a demigod under a very powerful pantheon that set it's eyes on this world. I heard they even have this thing called Celestials, though I never understood what that meant."

" What? Why would they be interested in a pathetic world like this. They should be caught up in their own conflicts in the fifth dimension. This changes things tremendously. Let's not dwell here, we must find her!" Hephaestus said, as he got up.

While they were doing this, the other's looked at them with wide eyes. Hephaestus had created a floating fireball. Right in front of their mortal scientific eyes. Of course they would be shocked. But he couldn't be bothered with them and just left. Having his new servant follow him.

~Pov the trio~ (Third person)

" Damn, that tasted great! System you got more of that stuff?" " Now now, don't be greedy!" " Yeah, we can get more on our own! We don't need the systems help."

(They are right host 1 out of three. We can get more without sacrificing a reward! Use it to get stronger instead. Tour already 9/12, so you should think of ways to get back to Ragthor. System can not help you with getting back. So host needs his own way!) the system told the three minded entity.

" That's great! Why don't we conquer a pantheon and eat all of them?"

" No that's dumb, we should make them work for us!"

" No, let's eat them! Come on Kragmaches, you decide. Eat or slave?" Eat is the obvious choice though."

" Kobraiel stop thinking with your stomach!"

" Shut up vampire bastard! You should be on my side, yet you're against me."

" Let's make them our slaves. No need to eat all the time. System give us the mission!"

( Very well host. Mission has been granted. ( Conquer a pantheon ) reward = Authority divinity.)

" That's the spirit, come on boy's, let's go wild."

With their mission decided, they left their resting place, without thinking off anything else. Like the alien goddess who was watching their every move. Or the looming threat of celestials that wants them dead.

~Pov Hephaestus~ (Third person)

" Why are goblins here?" Hephaestus said, while slashing his new made sword. Cutting the goblins heads of, with one movement.

" Why do you ask, you asked the same thing in the old timeline. Is their something special with goblins?" The time traveler asked.

" What makes something a monster?" Hephaestus asked.

" Well, their strong, can use magic and evil. Right?" The time traveler said.

" Wrong, why aren't dragons monsters?"

" They aren't?" The time traveler asked.

" No, go damnit, are you sure you served under me?"

" Well, I served under you, but I wasn't super close to you. So you never explained things to me."

" That explains a lot. Okey listen! Monsters have nothing to do with power, but everything to do with evil! Animals and monsters, their the same thing! The only difference is one. To be a monster, they need to be an irregular race. Monsters are the servants of Trickster. You don't know him and you don't need to. But let's just say this. Any world monsters are on, trickster pit them there. Goblins are one such race, a monster. In other words, we or something is being watched by it. Goblins and other monster are it's eyes. Even infinites can't hide from him, if their watched by Trickster. If the goblins are here, things are way more serious than I thought!"

" Sir, you're scaring me!"

" Don't think about it, this is my burden and my burden alone! Come, let's find this girl your talking about."

Hephaestus said, as he took the first step into the rainstorm.

The wind ripped and torn at their clothes. Looking for any weakness in the fabric. Water poured down their clothes, entering the lower layers of their clothes. Making them soaking wet.

As the duo was walking, a flying car hit Hephaestus in the head, sending him onto the ground. He ground in pain, before standing up. Shocking his new friend.

" How did you?"

" I'm growing in strength every minute. I'm not going to get hurt by the same thing twice. Especially when it only got a fraction of power behind it." Hephaestus said, proudly proclaiming his growth in power.

The storm didn't falter and only grew stronger. Soon houses came flying at them. But through Hephaestus power, they were all conquered

After hours of walking they finally arrived in a small city. No rain, no wind, not even monsters. The place was desolate from any form of life. Like something killed, or banished all of it.

The duo arrived at the only house with the lights still on. When they entered they could smell blood. So they took cation in moving forward. They scanned room until there was only one left. It was the room with lights on, something thought to be impossible. As all electricity sources had already been destroyed.

Hephaestus opened the door and felt a urge to close it again. But he pushed through and saw a little girl sitting in a bed. She has wobbling back and fourth, in a trance. But the second she saw them, she opened her eyes wide and said.

" You're not mother! Who are you, why are you in my house?" The girl said, getting up from her bed.

" I'm uncle Hephaestus and I'm here to help you. Your mother sent me!"

" Lies, mother says you're lying. Lier's must die!" The girl said, as an arrow of light appeared out of thin air and attack Hephaestus. But he caught it and threw it at the girl. Then he forced her into a hug.

" Who would do such a thing to a girl?" Hephaestus said, through gritted teeth.

" what do you mean?"

" Her so called mother made this child her daughter, through an worship contract. But since this girl is mortal, it's the same as robbing her of all thoughts and forcing her into servitude. Only capable of thinking what her so called mother wants."

" That's disgusting, what evil being would do such a thing."

" You're lying, all you do is lie. Mother would never do such a thing."

" Maybe not intentionally but this is still the result of what she did. If a being isn't in the upper ranking of EX they would just become a mindless servant. Now girl, I have a way to save you, but it will hurt your mother."

" Sir if it hurts her, won't she take revenge?"

" Yes, she might. But I believe she won't. She already allowed us to discuss this in front of her daughter after all. So we might as well begin."

Hephaestus said, as a circle with millions of weird symbols appeared around him and the girl. Then a weird painting of a beautiful women appeared and the circle surrounded her too.

The little girl and the painting both started screaming, shocking the time traveler. As he had no idea, how a painting could scream.

After a full hour of them screaming flames erupted and burned down the painting and the girl fell asleep instantly. After all of that, a replica of the painting appeared. But this time it wasn't a painting, it was the real deal.

" I didn't mean to hurt her. I didn't know this would happen. The pantheon don't tell us about this kind of stuff." The women said.

" Yeah yeah. What's even the name of your pantheon?"

" It's called Ragthor and out leader is a sixth dimensional being, if you know what that is." When she said that, Hephaestus froze for some seconds before looking at her.

" I don't think that's something you should be telling others."

" Fuck, I didn't even think telling that to someone would be bad. Ight, ima head out." She said, as she teleported away from the crime scene. While Hephaestus sighted. Cursing his luck. This was supposed to be a simple in and out. To get some people for his pantheon. But now it's evolved into a mess involving trickster and a sixth dimensional being. While he wasn't even a fraction of his prime.

" Take he girl! Were leaving."

" Where too?"

" Were heading out to find an army of humans. We are going to spread the religion I carry and I will save this damn world. Fucking hell, I want to sleep." Hephaestus complained, as he was gaining a headache.
