Witnessing the behaviour of the two won, Orion understood that he couldn't continue asking them questions. So, he saved the rest for another day and shifted his attention towards another reason for coming to the Garden, hoping to divert the won's thoughts.
"Ahem! There's sothing else that I would also like to do," Orion said, clearing his throat.
"What is it?" Aerialia asked. Although she hadn't yet regained her composure, as a goddess who had lived for several billions of years, no matter how shaken she was, she understood how to keep her emotions in check.
"To find a way for the Prisrions to leave this mountain, I'll greatly need the Aegis of the Arctic Deity's help. Therefore, I'll need to see if he will make that happen," Orion replied.
Aerialia frowned at Orion's words. With Aegis of the Arctic Deity being the subject of the matter they had just discussed, Aerialia was curious about what Orion had planned to enable the Prisrions to settle outside the mountains with Aegis of the Arctic Deity's help.
Seeing the questioning look in Aerialia's eyes, Orion said, "Don't worry, you'll understand what I'm trying to do soon."
Aerialia furrowed her brows in confusion as she looked at Orion. Nonetheless, she shook her head and exhaled deeply. "I'm curious to see what you have planned," Aerialia said.
Orion shifted his attention towards the Princess of the Garden, "I'll be back as soon as I'm done," Orion said.
The Princess of the Garden nodded her head in response. "Alright, be careful," she responded.
Orion shifted his attention towards the Crimson greatsword and re-summoned it into the small crimson greatsword mark.
With the Guardians of the Garden still focusing on him, Orion positioned his body correctly before he dived into the Divine Essence Lake. Within less than half an hour, he quickly reached the bottom.
Seeing the giant hole that imdiately started attracting everything around it towards it, appearing as though sensing his presence, Orion allowed it to pull him down until he had disappeared beneath it.
….…
Orion brought himself back to his feet before instantly re-summoning the Crimson greatsword. Aerialia appeared by his side, her wings spread apart as she hovered in the air, staring at the empty space before her with a serious gaze.
Imdiately afterwards, a large pair of slit golden eyes appeared in the sky.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity!
"Orion, the goddess of the hunting moon, what do I owe the pleasure of your presence? Are you perhaps here to continue having so of your questions answered?" Aegis of the Arctic Deity asked as he looked at Orion and Aerialia.
"No, it's not about that," Orion replied, shaking his head in response.
Hearing that they hadn't co to see him for the usual question-and-answer session, Aegis of the Arctic Deity imdiately beca curious. "Then why are you here?" Aegis of the Arctic Diety asked.
Orion took a deep breath before explaining his plan to lead the Prisrions to settle outside the mountains. As he spoke, Aerialia and the Aegis of the Arctic Deity widened in surprise. Orion's plan, while simple, proved to be effective. However, Aerialia still couldn't help but have her doubts.
"Are you sure that it would work?" Aerialia asked, scepticism lacing her words. After all, moving over one million individuals out of this mountain and into the midst of the Vylkr vines was a serious matter.
It wasn't that she cared since they weren't her children; however, she didn't want Orion's decision to lead to the unnecessary extinction of another race, as she had witnessed hers go in a very unpleasant way.
Nonetheless, before Orion could respond, Aegis of the Arctic Deity said, "I think there is a high chance of this working. However, the Prisrions must prepare before we try this out and see how well it works." He understood it would take so ti for the one million eight hundred Prisrions in the mountain to prepare and leave.
"Okay, I'll speak to the Queen about this imdiately after I return to the castle so we can get started right away," Orion responded, nodding his head in understanding.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity seed to have already accepted Orion's plan, so Aerialia could only remain silent and watch how everything would work out.
She hoped it would, so they could focus more on uncovering Naka's origin and the mysteries surrounding him.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity nodded in response. He did not need to say anything else, as he was sure Orion would co to inform him after they were prepared.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity then opened a passageway close by for Orion to make his way into the Garden. After saying his goodbyes, Orion passed through the portal and appeared beside the edge of the Divine Lake Essence, where he had previously left.
As the passageway vanished, the Princess of the Garden imdiately noticed his arrival beside her. "How did it go?" The Princess of the Garden asked.
"It's fine; everything went okay," Orion smiled.
The Princess of the Garden imdiately breathed out in relief. She thought sothing would go wrong, and Aegis of the Arctic Deity would refuse Orion's plan. So, she was imdiately relieved upon hearing that everything had gone well, as she was worried about Orion tirelessly trying to co up with another solution.
Seeing the woman before him with such an expression, Orion imdiately pulled her close into his arms for a hug.
"Mhh," the Princess of the Garden imdiately lted into his arms and wrapped her arms around him, enjoying the warmth of his skin.
"I've been thinking about your na as I don't think it's proper for to keep on calling you the Princess of the Garden as your identity. Do you want to hear it?" Orion said with a smile. However, contrary to his expectations, the Princess of the Garden shook her head in response. "Though I'm really curious about the kind of na you've managed to co up with, I don't think now is the best ti for to hear it," the Princess of the Garden responded.
