Chapter 1270: Everstone
Chapter 1270: Everstone
Aquarina started to drink the warm tea, feeling the rest of her body warm up quickly, and after finishing her two sandwiches packed with roasted wyvern meat, she moved to eating the donuts. Her appetite had finally come back, before she had barely eaten, but now she was eating everything with a lot more energy.
"Hmm, these donuts are good, they're filled with lots of cream-" she said while munching on them. "But they can't beat Sylphy's cream puffs~"
"Haha, we know, we've tasted those before, they're truly amazing," her mother nodded. "Anyways, dear, do you have any more questions? I would rather give you as much info as possible, so you don't act awkwardly with the people there."
"Erm, okay, are they all... Um, desert elves and amazonian mixes? I had no idea there were desert elves to begin with..." said Aquarina. "Does it mean they're long lived?"
"Yes, at the beginning they were two separate tribes that lived together to survive the harshness of the Dry Steppes, but over time they started mixing," nodded her father. "I don't know how long ago that was, but thousands of years, tens, if not hundreds."
"T-That's a while ago..." Aquarina sighed.
"Well, you'll see how they are, there's very little difference from our own tribe, don't worry," smiled her mother.
"Do these people go for any name?" Aquarina wondered. "Like their tribe?"
"They were Stone Carvers and Desert Elves, their village is Everstone, and no, I don't think they go for any name other than Everstonian."
"Huh, I guess they're unique enough to call themselves after their own village..." Aquarina said. "Wait, what about the inheritance? You've told me a couple of things before, but I barely know much either..."
"You'll learn more in the village," her mother said. "But I can at least tell you that the inheritance is of the first ever Hero of Stone in history, he was the first man to carry this title. Some say he had the blood of giants. His name was Bjorn, the Hero of Stone, or as others called him, the Barbarian King. He was the one that created several of the cultivation techniques I use, and that all my predecessors used too. This village was his home, or well, it formed thanks to him. He married a desert elf woman, and although he had long ago passed away, his descendants, with desert elf bloodline, lived for much longer, there are still a few of them alive right now."
"Oh..." Aquarina muttered. "I guess that village is really important then, huh..."
Unlike Aquarina who would have gasped in surprise, Aquarina had a much different personality, she was often much cold headed and didn't overreact like her cute girlfriend would do.
"Will I learn stuff from them then?" wondered Aquarina.
"Most likely," Shade nodded. "Hmm, we're getting closer now. Let's pack things up and get ready to depart. Aquarina."
"Alright..." Aquarina yawned. "Ah, Pyuku, are you awake?"
Aquarina talked to Pyuku inside of her Soul Scape, the slime was still sleeping, her two spirits were awake and appeared by her side though.
"You seem to be a bit better now, my crybaby master," Undine giggled.
"Graaarrr!" little Leviathan gave a friendly roar.
"Hello you two..." sighed Aquarina. "Looks like we're finally getting somewhere here..."
As she glanced the village below through the skies, the airship slowly descended and landed in the clean outskirts of the village, there was a group of people already waiting down there. Watching for monsters to not get in the way of the airship.
Aquarina noticed with her sharp eyes how they looked like. Tall, with even darker skin than her tribe, sharp golden eyes, long brown silver hair, some had brown hair instead, mostly everyone had pointy and long ears.
Their bodies were toned and muscular, some were less muscular than others, but the majority were at the level of her mother already, the oldest of them at least. It was hard to tell who was oldest aside from body musculature, due to being half desert elves, they remained very young-looking even at old age.
"Half Elf and Half Amazonian, so this is how they would look like, huh?" Aquarina wondered, feeling genuinely surprised.
And then, she started fantasizing something, of her and Sylphy living together, and having a child, a baby between the two. A cute baby that was half-elf and amazonian like them.
Both were girls, so she knew such a fantasy was just ridiculous, but she liked the fantasy, the idea that they could somehow have a biological baby together, sharing their two bloodlines.
The fruit of their love...
"Hah..."
But these were just fantasies at the end, Aquarina would be just as happy with just adopting a baby anyways.
"Come on, we're here."
Her mother called her, as Aquarina quickly followed her and her father.
The airship had already landed, as the gates opened and metallic stairs slowly unfolded, reaching the rocky and arid floor beneath.
"Ah, it's pretty hot around here, huh?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It was indeed very hot, she walked downstairs, looking around her surroundings, as she was greeted by the large group of people.
The hot, bright sun, the arid environment, the many different sceneries she would have never seen before if she hadn't dared coming here, it was all so new and refreshing.
Yet at the same time, a bit scary...
She was finally stepping out from her comfort zone completely and exploring what the world had prepared for her.
Aquarina felt slightly doubtful deep down, but it wasn't as if she had any option than to step forward now.
Her mother held her hand, forcing her to walk towards there after noticing her daughter had frozen up a bit.
"Relax, it's fine. It'll be okay," she said, smiling at her daughter.
Aquarian felt embarrassed of being treated as a baby even though she was already fifteen, and as she noticed the Everstone people glared at them, she quickly let go of her mother's hand, she didn't want to be mocked for being a "mama's girl" or something.
Amazonian people were good hearted but rough, their personalities had no filters, and they would say anything they thought at the moment, so they could sometimes be cruel without ever having the intention to do so.
This is why she was a bit afraid...
However.
"So this is your baby girl, Nepheline?! Hahaha! She's so cuteeee!"
A giantess walked in, grabbing Aquarina and lifting her off the ground!
