*** Alzi ***
"What's going on?" I ask. "I need to get to Kelly." Everything is a bit blurry. I think there is a group of won in front of , pointing sticks.
"Just making sure you can complete your talk with our Goddess. I'm sorry for the scare, our Goddess doesn't have great people skills," the Priestess says, the blurry won start shifting to the sides of the room.
"I think the Royal healer would be better," Syro says. "How do you feel?"
"My vision is still blurry, but getting better," I say. "The rest of feels ok, but I don't trust it."
"No, we shouldn't trust it. I hope you give your Goddess so people skills if you wish for my Mistress to co here again, and sothing feels that you wish for that to happen dearly. My Mother will be waiting to hear from War," Sarania says. "Do you need help, Syro?"
"I can walk," I say. "My vision has cleared up enough. But, um, why do the priestesses have hearts in their eyes?"
Sarania jumps a bit at my question, her tailing standing straight up. "You can see that?"
"I think so? Well, yes, if they really do have hearts in their eyes."
"Um, well, we didn't want to kill them, so I was trying to get them to fuck each other without Syro raping you as well," Sarania says. "But no need to worry about that now. Let help. We should move soon. I think their Goddesses are holding them back right now, and their eyes are set on you, my Mistress."
"Would it be a temple visit if I didn't have sex?" I mumble. Sarania gets under my other shoulder, and I limp out into the fresh air. My body tingles a bit as a cool breeze hits my skin. The blur is gone, but everything is shinier than normal.
Sarania and Syro get packed into the carriage again, and I close my eyes.
...
A loud smack jolts my body, the pain following close behind. The shadows laugh and cheer as my naked body gets abused. A Giantess holds a whip before , gently shaking it to the side as a wicked smile picks the next target.
Heavy chains tie off into the surrounding darkness, attaching to a cold steel collar around my neck. My hands and feet are bound by rope.
The whip moves through honey on its way to reach , aiming for the insides of my thighs. The cheers grow as the whip nears. A cool oil pours down my back and wings.
The pain doesn't move in slow motion. No, that reaches instantly. The whip proves the slow motion to be just a trick. The pain and sound of the strike hit clearly. A new strike mark rips into my flesh as more cold steel plays around my ass.
"Don't hurt my babies," I plea. "Just not them!"
The cheers turn to laughter as a cold blade forces its way inside.
...
"ALZI!" Syro screams out and echoes through my mind.
My eyes shoot open, and I'm back in the carriage, Sarania's beautiful arms holding tight.
"I'm sorry," Sarania says. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let you sleep. I should've known better. Can you stay awake till we get to Osanna?"
"Yes," I manage to say, tears ready to pour out. I now have yet another monster prepared to jump into my dreams.
"I'm sorry, I thought sleep would be good for your body, and I forgot to think about your mind. You can let it out on my shoulder, my Mistress," Sarania says. "I'm sorry for not getting you out of the Goddess's hand. I should've done more."
"I think she'll help," I say. "She better help."
"That's good," Syro says. "She owes you at least that for the pain she put you through. But next ti we'll take Victoria or Geta, and nobody will be able to stop us from getting you to safety."
"That would be nice," I say, burying my head in Sarania's shoulder. My tears are flowing despite my desires.
"I've got you, my Mistress. You're safe now."
...
Sarania carries out of the carriage. She didn't really give an option, just picked up when we got to the Castle and carried out. I'm guessing mana is the reason she can do it. Or so ancient strength thing. But it feels nice to be carried, and I get to hide my despair in her shoulder for a bit longer.
"Hello Princess Alzi," a woman says. "I've heard you got into so trouble with a Goddess. Can I check on you? I know you're strong, but sotis it helps to have another give it a look. Just to be certain, you do have precious cargo in your womb."
"Kelly can do it," I mumble.
"Alzi, please?" Kelly says. "I'm not as strong as the Royal Healer. She'll be able to check a lot more than I will be able to. Your kids are too important to risk."
"Fine," I say, too tired to argue.
I expect Sarania to lay down or sothing, but I just feel a warm hand on my shoulder. It gives a soft squeeze then lets go.
"Everything seems to be in order. Seven healthy babies. Just a bit of extra mana sitting around inside, but nothing to be afraid of. Try to get so rest, Alzi. I'll have Lensa wait till tomorrow to get pregnant."
"No, I'll fuck her tonight. Just warn her I'm going to use her as I wish on the route to giving her fifteen kids."
"Nothing too far. You can't cause her undo pain."
"Just so hair holding."
"Then I'll pass the word along. She won't be happy, but she'll live. Take it easy tonight, Princess Alzi. You're under a lot of stress, and that can hurt the babies. Don't count on your life mana to fix all your health issues. They only get you so far."
"I know."
*** Space ***
I wish I could do sothing about that idiot. I don't understand how she can think up the most complex strategies for war, and just fail to think about the consequences of her actions against just a single personwon. So Goddesses that aren't stupid around her would do wonders. But even this was... No, I should've known that she would do sothing like this. She almost killed the entire population just for fun. I should've known she would pick a fight with Alzi.
I'll have to get help from Fertility and Sea to get Alzi so real justice against her. What would that even look like? I don't think War would go against it, I just don't know what to do.
Now I just need to figure out why they haven't shown up! How is Fertility too busy to not know what is going on with her champion? Sea would be keeping close tabs on Fertility and would co running to help.
But they still haven't shown up!
"Fine," I mutter, teleporting to Fertility's ho. These two better have a good reason for not helping against War.
"Hey! Assholes, why didn't you answer Alzi?" I shout out to a small, humble ho. Small compared to the other Goddesses' living spaces. It is fit for a Queen of the lower realms.
"Who do you think you are talking to!?" Fertility shouts back.
"The useless Goddesses and her lover, of course! War was beating Alzi up, and neither of you showed up or tried to show Alzi so support! You want to act like you care about her, yet you don't even show up when she's getting hurt in the divine realm. So, what are you assholes doing?" I ask.
Sea is the first to walk out of the house, looking a bit pudgier in the belly than normal. Fertility next in a dress that is clearly made to prove she's pregnant again.
"Three pregnant won versus War in a fight?" Fertility says. "There isn't much we could've done, but we didn't know it was happening. So we couldn't do anything."
"What has you so distracted that you couldn't notice your Champion getting hurt?"
"I didn't feel her co up or..."
"We were planning the ritual for dealing with our enemies," Sea says. "As you know, those take so ti to build, and we only have one chance to use them. We have to make sure it is correct, or Alzi will likely die. I believe that is a good reason not to feel a woman co up in the nontraditional way and then have a Goddess fake hurt her."
"The ritual? You got sidetracked by the ritual? Fertility, how could you not have an Angel assigned to just watch over Alzi? This is a basic thing to do. Sea, have you not helped her with any of this? What even has you two so engrossed in this ritual? Get a bunch of won who raped Alzi or sothing and toss them into a fire and kill the rule-breaking creatures from Nature."
"No," Fertility says. "Nature has too many for sothing that simple. I need more, and for that, I need your help, and we need to get the details down. We didn't feel my Champion co up here, and I do have an angel watching over her. I would've co if she told Alzi was up here for an extended period."
"Yes," an Angel says. "Alzi never fully ca up here. It shouldn't be possible for her to be hurt. War brought up less of her so that she could have a longer discussion."
"Was Alzi hurt?" Fertility asks.
"Not physically," I say. "But her brain is kept together by mana and so string right now. We can't risk her getting stressed out. Think she's going to last a Goddess punching her around? This type of thing can't happen again, or she's going to break, and the world will be destroyed."
"Yes, that is worriso," Fertility says. "If it all ends, it all ends. I'll help her end it even. But yes, Angel, tell if she is ever back up here again. I'll be on the edge of their territory, ready to help. I'm sorry, Space. But you could've pulled over or sothing."
"I thought you would co running," I say. "Seems you have so work to do still with your angels."
"Yes," Fertility says.
Fertility walks back into her house with Sea. Forcing to risk her stupid territory. Sea is fine and I can always rat Fertility out to Alzi. See if Fertility really is fine with the world ending.
"This better be an actual problem," I yell, crossing the boundary. Fertility doesn't freeze , so I walk into the house, and a pregnant dryad shows to a study with Sea and Fertility. A paper with four circles is on the desk.
"Now, this is what we want to do. We're hoping you can let us have so wiggle room on the shapes of the outer circles," Fertility says.
"Maybe."
