Chapter 7 - A House Before Departure (2/2)
”Ah, this is my true form.” The trickster raised both of her hands to be more open about herself. ”I'm a hyaenidae, my race was annihilated by Usurpers a long time ago. So I'm the only survivor. Everyone was killed brutally in front of my eyes, they were purged, frozen, and skewered.” She then frowned, recycling the imaginative memory to stay true to her act.
Of course, that is not obviously the truth. There is no such thing as a Hyenadae race on Neamh, aka the new earth—even if there is, MF might be the only one who can claim as such. While in actuality, she tried to conceal her trace from the destruction of Tidal Citadel. Being a paranoid prick is one of her traits anyway.
After a long solitary lifestyle, having someone in her life does change her a little bit. She might try to be more open than being alone from this moment on, but she isn't that trusting either even though she can just read the mind of her tanomobi wife.
”My condolences, again, forgive me. You helped me instead of killing this pitiful usurper. Despite the aching wound of ever rending hatred at us who hastily do more evil than those from above.” Foel stepped forward and looked at her partner's eyes with determination. ”Is there anything that I can make up to with you?”
MF turned around, and then turned again to face her wife with a charming smile. ”Just call me darling from now on.”
”I was expecting something more obscene.”
”Aww come on, my mind is not all about my lovely wife's special services, you know?” The hyenadae winked.
Foel rolled her eyes. ”Fine… Darling.” Her raspy yet innocent voice dug deep into her partner's ear.
”Ugh, my heart.”
The two of them then departed to the nearest unwrecked Citadel. MF changed her attire to those of black short cloak to match with her wife.
”Oh yeah, honey,” MF asked. ”What about your job as an excavator?”
”Don't worry about it too much, darling, let's just say that I'm already retired the moment I was proposed back then.”
They march to the path to their destination. One with a vastly crowded market and farms encapsulating the scenery of land carved by abundant sources of water and rich soil. From above, the whole giant civilization looked like an X marker with each end getting denser and the center guarded by many strong individuals. The fortress dwellings of wind and nature, the Gaia Citadel.
After dealing with some pesky random assault from various Calamities on their way, the majestic titan wall appeared within the corner of their view. Foel was undoubtedly strong against those monstrosity, MF took the advantage and harvest some of the genes from the massacred beast.
