The only thing left is Dryad to arrive and plant a daughter tree. Eldor leaves immediately so he has never met the new Head Priestesses and Priests. He really loved his job but sometimes, it was a bit hard, like running for his life hard. For example, right now. But, that's Eldor's story.

Meanwhile, Dryad was staring slack jawed at something or to be correct, someone by the name Ariama. The latter was staring lika a deer caught in headlights. Well, he looked like Ariama. It was his true appearance.

\”Ariama? Is that you?\” He wanted to lie but remembered she had the all seeing eyes. In the end, he nodded bitterly.

\”Did you change your appearance to fit in? Wow, you're really a pervert. You look a little handsome too\” she insulted, flashing her thumbs. He didn't laugh or frown. He had a guilty expression.

\”Ariama, what's going on?\” She inquired gently.

\”This is my real appearance. The old man was a disguise. Gods can't be old\”

\”So, you lied to me?\”

\”Well, kind of\”

\”Why?\”

\”I wanted to appear gentle and trusting. You would have a better time befriending a funny old man than an aloof youth. I then asked you about it but you said I couldn't change appearance so I stuck with old man Ariama. I'm sorry little one\”

\”I...I need to think\” She said and wanted to fly off but he stopped her.

\”The only thing that can reveal my disguise is a high level truth spell. You clearly added the principles of your eyes. Tell me, did you contact Ilerisa?\” She said nothing and flew off. Ariama crashed to the ground and sighed.

\”Did Ariama just fall in love?\” Simour asked in shock. Bolsa had the same expression. Both of them cursed and were tempted to go down and beat him up.

\”If the other gods, especially the fallen gods, find out about this, Dryad is done for\” Bolsa said in dread. They both loved their brother and they like Dryad.

\”This has become complicated. What do we do?\”

\”Let's try my wife Amphia. Let their focus be on her. Since most of Paradise and Abyss don't know we're married, it will be good. Amphia is an excellent actress, hehehe\”

\”Okay Bolsa. Summon Amphia at once...\”

\”I'm here. Big brother-in-law called me?\” a petit figure walked towards them. It was a little girl of no more than eleven years. Simour's lips twitched as he saw her approach while Bolsa grinned wildly.

\”Amphia, are you always here?\”

\”Yes big brother Simour\” his lips twitched again.

\”You know what? Never mind. I have a mission for you. You'll enjoy it\”

\”Really big brother, how do you know?\”

\”Big brother-in-law Ariama is involved\”

\”I'm in!\” she answered abruptly and clapped her hands in delight. Bolsa pouted as Simour gave Amphia a parchment.

\”Do your best Amphia.I'll reward you\”

\”Yes\” she jumped up and down in delight. Simour noticed his brother's sour expression and decided to cheer him up.

\”Wait for it....\” Bolsa was confused but watched Amphia as Simour said. Alpha's brows were furrowed as she read the parchment from beginning to end. When she finished, she was fuming.

\”Wait? Ariama fell in love with a newbie goddess and I wasn't told by him?\” She thundered. The two gods doubled over in laughter.Her expression was priceless.

\”Don't worry Big brother-in-law, I will carry out my task well\” she said with seriousness and disappeared. The two gods were still laughing.

\”Anyone who sees her like that will think she's married to Ariama, not you\”

\”Yeah. Like I said, an excellent actress\” Bolsa said and they laughed again.
