With her declaration heard by everyone, a small stir of murmurs began. The guild master facepalmed in a way reducing the wrinkles he had, temporarily of course, but still…
"Goddess, I-"
"Sush child, this little one here is waking up. Ah, isn't he just adorable!"
Night Silver raised the baby boy off her breast, and into a hold to show him off. He looked just like a normal baby…
"Goddess, may I ask why you're showing off a naked baby to us? He looks just like a normal baby."
"Hey! That baby boy is healthy! He wasn't just a while ago." Lakyus chided the guildmaster for his impudent question, with a fierceness in her eyes. "Mother's milk is really something magical."
"Oh, I see…?"
"Pfft, it's alright Lala." She said handing the boy back to his birth mother, giving him a tender kiss on his forehead. "Take care of him well, I've blessed him to grow up big and strong." She smiled at the woman and then hugged Lakyus from behind. "The boy is fine now. It's not the guild master's fault for the boy's birth defects." She added with a kiss upon her neck.
"Mother, that tickles, and there are people watching."
"So? What's wrong with a mother showing affection for her children?"
Lakyus paused, the room fell to a similar loss for words, after all, none of them could say anything disagreement. For the woman who asked that question, she was the only one who could state the true answer. She was the All-Mother… Naturally this would be something only she could do. In other words, it was easier to freeze the sun, than it was to say she was wrong.
"Besides, I like seeing you blush all adorable and cute like. Ah, so beautiful!!!"
"T-t-thank you M-m-mother…" Lakyus stuttered out managing a response but it felt hard to push out given the circumstances.
"So, where's your lucky man?"
"EEK! Mother, not here. Please, not here."
Night Silver made a cute half pout like a child trying to get her way. "Oh fine. I'll leave it at that. Anyway, just watch out for the black dust drug out there. Just having it around a pregnant woman can complicate the pregnancy. And those temples are pathetic, charging money to heal people…" It became quite clear she was angry, and not a small amount either.
Despite that, it took a few minutes before Night Silver was completely finished with everything she needed to do at the guild. Though, Lakyus and the Blue Rose still had more business to take care of.
"Well girls, I'm going to see if Renren is ready to go yet. I can't wait to see her in her wedding dress." Some murmurs started about who this Renren might be. "Hmm, why she's your princess of course." That shut the rumors up. "I wonder if she would like a traditional Nadairian wedding dress? I'm certain she'd make it look good. Though maybe she shouldn't wear it without some physical training first. Oh well, I'll see what can be done with it later." She shrugged. "See you next time Lala… Remember, Momma loves you."
Night Silver flipped her hair into a lovely wave, giving a bright smile before walking out of the guild building. Her actions left the whole hall stunned by her beauty. A silence broken by the heavy sigh of the guild master, one he made falling to his butt into a chair.
"So, our goddess has returned to us. Praise be to her, the mother of us all."
…
Carne Village was currently making preparations to receive their new leader. With aid from Tus Nadair, and Nazarick, it took just a few short days… A small defenseless village suddenly became a well fortified small town with many large homes constructed out of stone and mortar.
"Everything's changed since just last week."
"Yeah, I know. Our food yields have tripled, and thanks to aid of the undead, we don't need to worry about back breaking work in the fields nearly as much."
"Who would have thought Undead could be such efficient farmers, it's amazing."
"No, no, no, not amazing. It's absolutely incredible."
A large figure, not hiding away his clearly defined features, depicting him as an undead, let out a few chuckles.
"You know, I hadn't thought of it either. It was one of my friend's children, his idea, I must say it was genius. These types of undead are easy enough to create. And I hear there's a lot more of them out there in a place called, the Katze Plains, is that right?"
"Yeah, though I'm not sure how I feel about using the corpses of our fallen warriors to farm for us… Lord Momonga."
"I see, that might cause a few issues, and some suspicion." Momonga said, placing a hand to his chin.
A portal appeared behind them, and out stepped Night Silver, she stretched her body free of care from what anyone may think about her nearly nude appearance.
"Hey there, oh wow, now that's a positive use for the undead. I approve."
"It was an idea one of your children had. It turned out to be quite effective, and it costs me nothing. In fact I like it so much, I was wondering if I should gather all undead from the plains and put them to work too."
"No." Night Silver said. "At least, not now. It's good to put them to work too, give those lost to time a chance to continue helping provide for those who come after. However, I'd like to leave that as a tool for negotiation with Baharuth."
"Oh, very well, I'll listen to you. I'll have more time to experiment with this then." Momonga chuckled lightly before a green glow calmed him down. "Damn glow."
"Sorry Momo, but you're going to have to put up with it. Not even flipping your karma would be enough to change it."
"Yeah, I remember you told me. It's annoying though."
"You could always change your race."
"HA! No, I'm sticking with this one."
"Figured as much. So, is the castle done yet?"
"Yep, there's also plenty of locations where you can create whatever plant life you desire."
"Outstanding! I'll return shortly with everyone who's coming back with me."
Night Silver went right back through the portal, letting it vanish behind her.
