Chapter 13: Gaea, Death and Blessing(s)?, Part 1.
Time moves fast when you're busy! Or having fun... I have grown fond of the baby maids, though even if I call them maids that's just how they dress, I didn't want them to feel left out from her other sisters so I gave them the same uniform, they are too small to do anything other than play around and use the learning room. I wanted to make them into super geniuses with the help of the learning room but Emma said that I would take away their innocence if I fill their minds with unfiltered knowledge, and she does have a point, so Spark and Emma created some kid versions of the learning courses. They will still be geniuses, just not corrupted by the filth in the world.
I think that the reason I like the baby maids so much is because of their eyes, all that crap about the eyes being the windows of the soul is sort of true, I can see their soul regardless of their eyes but the eyes carry a certain representativity of the soul. So babies have shiny eyes. It might also be the fact that I spent most of my time playing with the babies. On my previous universe I never had the chance to interact with babies so I never knew if I liked kids or not, but I can certainly say that I like these kids, that's baby and kid maids included.
The teenage maids are colluding with Natalia and Jean in their plans for revenge, apparently some of them are still vindictive about the incident with the cutlery on their first day here... or because of the reincarnation prank... you can also find some that are in it because the "sistermance". I can understand the last one, but if about the first reason Aren't they too petty? I was even going to grant some of their wishes, if it were not for the fact that their wishes were weird... Natalia wanted to be an overpowered dragoness that did nothing except play all day... Was that a personal jab at me?... Irina wanted to be the imperatrix of a universe... Really? Just imagine the universal amount of responsibilities, no pun intended... Kitty wanted her life back... I can tell, she IS living her best life... Jean was okay with a family that loved her but wanted to 'go back for a sec' to kill Xavier... the first part of her wish I can understand, but wasting one wish in that pathetic fuck? He doesn't deserve it... Bucky had a normal wish that I can grant later, it was reuniting with Steve one last time... Emma... Emma asked for the ROB's supervisor and said that her soul belonged to me, and to send her back to her kingdom before an idiot dragon comes for the ROB's ass... I don't know if I should feel happy that she has me in such high regard or preoccupied that she would throw a ROB at me.
On the past weeks I've come closer to the girls in general but I'm closer to the baby maids and the two older girls, Yelena and Irina, these two are what could be considered as my personal maids, apparently they saw too much shit and decided that instead of focusing on a career and later be free, it's better to be under the umbrella of an overpowered existence, they said that the fact that I have no apparent responsibilities played a part in their decision. I guess if I was "powerless", not that they are, and had the chance I would have probably taken the same decision. A butler of Noona doesn't sound so bad.
Irina is a ravenette, light-blue eyes bordering grey, like all super soldiers, she is tall compared to the average woman, perfect curves, not that I would do anything with them, and she had this bespectacled vibe to her, sadly she had a peak human eye sight so she had no reason for glasses, but... When has reason stopped me?... Spark and I created these totally overpowered glasses that could put Superman's sight to shame and told her that as the young master I had to present a gift to my personal maid. Hehehehehe! Now I have a bespectacled beauty as my maid.
Sadly my move backfired, my other personal maid strongly requested for her gift. So for Yelena. I made a pair of earrings that linked with 3 city-buster drones, the earrings connect to her mind with the same tech that you use in the learning room, honestly one drone is enough to take down a Hulk (MCU version). The drones are spherical about the size of a human, made of vibranium of course, and can shift into any weapon from our database for which there's enough mass available, basically she can use any of the weaponry designs on Halo and any of the transports for which each ball has enough mass for use. I made the drones with our own patented warping tech so she can summon those monsters whenever she wants.
Today I came to the X-Mansion... X-School?... to talk with Ororo, hopefully she can get me in contact with Gaea to request a blessing. When I met Ororo I felt the presence of "another" on her so I'm pretty sure that she is connected to Gaea, the problem is that I don't know if she is her priestess, champion, avatar, or just a really faithful follower. But I'm sure I could get to Gaea through her. Hopefully the price for the blessing is not so high, some of the divine can be annoying to deal with.
I arrived with Yelena and Irina, both wearing their maid outfit, initially I wanted the mini skirt version of course, but I lost that battle before it even started, but I like this version, It's a long skirted combination of the classical type and sci-fi. After waiting for a minute Ororo opened the door and at first was surprised but than looked at me with scorn... You know... I could take a peek at what's going on through her head to understand where this scorn is coming from, but I will just own it, I'm not doing anything wrong... Yes I'm not!... If I were, Natalia or Jean would have fought me for it, but they had no qualms about my maids. Like the wise blonde said "... haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate".
"Hello Ororo! These are Yelena and Irina, they are my personal maids. Did Jean mention that I wanted to talk with you?"- I will keep being the gentlemanly dragon that I am. I will shake it off.
"...Hello. Nice to meet you girls. If you need anything just let me know."- She looked at my maids as if waiting for a SOS signal from them. But joke's on you! Irina is my super serious no bullshit maid and Yelena is my let the world burn while eating popcorn maid.
""... Hello Ms. Munroe, it's a pleasure.""- Of course my personal maids are already on the advanced courses of "Housekeeping and Attending your Young Master.".
"By the way Ororo is Logan around?"- I will just pay no mind to you ignoring me.
"Yes he is. Is he also needed for what you wanted to ask me?"
"No, it's for a separate manner. One I believe he might be interested in."- Bucky recognized him from the file I have on Logan and wanted to get in contact with him.
"I'll ask the professor to call him. Let's go to my office to discuss whatever business you have with me."- This lady should stop judging me, wasn't she a child pickpocket, maids are not illegal.
She guided us to an office very similar to Xavier's but smaller and with her own touch. Shortly after, Logan entered the office and said:
"Hello Aragorn! The professor said you called."
"Yes, recently in one of my operations I came across one of your old friends. He is working for me and wanted to get in contact with you. So do you want to visit the Halo or do you prefer for him to come down here?"- I feel overqualified for a messenger but Bucky is a friend so it's okay.
"... Someone that knows me? We haven't even been able to find any records of my existence."- I could see both hope and anger in his eyes.
"That's because you're Canadian, born in 1832 and this government erased the pitiful amount of records they had of you after they fused adamantium in your bones. The experiment went wrong and they lost control of their weapon. You. So there's not many individuals that know you left alive."- Even Spark had a hard time finding anything on him.- Logan initially looked completely flabbergasted but then he looked in pain. Having your mind try to heal whenever something of the past comes up must a pain, specially with 3 bullets lodged on your cranium.
"Arghh!!!... You know who I am?"- He asked while in pain... or anger I feel both coming from him.
"Yes. I have a file on your life. Not all of it but more like a map of it. You could probably get more from the sicko that experimented on you."- A man like Stryker wouldn't throw all his precious research away, even if the experiment failed.
"Give me the file!"- He demanded.- Well he does have a history of a berserker but that's not a way to ask for something. It appears that manners are not part of his accessible memories.
''Aragorn may be an idiot but he is our idiot, no one disrespects him but us.''-Yelena and Irina looked coldly at him and started to measure him, looking for vulnerabilities, restudying in their minds his profile. Ororo who had the presence of mind to notice this change hurriedly intervened:
"Logan! Calm down!"- She said while looking at Logan intently.- She did notice the change in my maids. My maids have enough tech on them to battle Jean for an hour or so. Jean is used to fight me so I'm sure that these two have enough tech to take all the X-Men currently present in the mansion. Even though my maids often plot my demise with Jean or Natalia, I know that we have built enough familial affection to not allow anyone to talk bullshit about us.- Logan came back to himself and saw the cold look on my maids and the indifferent look on me.
"I apologize about that. Me, Chuck and Hank have been looking for answers for so long that I had almost lost my faith, it has been one fruitless endeavor after the other. If I go to visit this friend of mine, up there in your place, Could I get access to the file you have on me?"- He definitely is a different person when he is calm.
"Yes! That's no problem he made the same request. Do you want to go now or wait for us?"- Depending on Gaea we might go up soon enough.
"I will wait for you to finish your business. I will let Chuck know about it."- He walked out of the office allowing me to make my request to Ororo.
"Alright! Ororo I wanted to contact you to ask you for a favor. Do you have any relation to Gaea, the elder goddess?"- She tilted her head in confusion.
"I don't think so. I do worship Asase Yaa which is the name of the goddess we all worshiped on our village."
"Asase Yaa is one of Gaea's names... But are you sure you only worship her?"- Is it possible that she doesn't know of her connection with her?
"Yes, on the later years of my childhood I lived for a while with my mother's tribe. They taught me how to control my powers and about Asase Yaa."- I figured they would have told her about it or something.
"Can we visit them? I want to make a deal with Gaea but I need the help of someone related to her to find her location. It's easier than scanning Earth with my eyes."- I bet she has a realm/pocket dimension somewhere on Earth.- She contemplated for a minute before saying:
"Yes we can visit them."- Her countenance carried some longing.
"Alright lets wait for Logan and we'll be on our way."- It's simpler to bring him with us.
After Logan arrived I portaled us to Uzuri (Kenya), where people welcomed Ororo with cheerfulness and elation. I can only assume that it was because of the outfit of my maids that they were looking at us distrustfully, it had nothing to do with my space eyes and horns. While Ororo was talking with the village elders I took the opportunity to help myself to the knowledge of their language. After a brief introduction they finally asked me about the reason for the visit. Needless to say that no one expected me to talk the local tongue.
"Our Lady has told us that you seek to talk with our goddess."- Said the elder and shamanic looking lady.- I assume that she has the position of the current spiritual leader.
"Yes, that's the case. I have a deal to propose, I felt her presence in your Lady but she is not aware about their connection."- At this Ororo was looking at me with interest.
"... Our lady was always someone with an adventurous soul, since the moment we met her we knew that a day would come when she would leave this place, so we never instructed her on her connection to our goddess."- I think that back then, according to my not so reliable comic knowledge, she wanted to go back to T'Challa's arms, so it makes sense.
"That's okay, I don't need her to assume her position as a priestess but her connection to your goddess is stronger than anyone here. Do you have an item or place of importance where you can feel a stronger presence of your goddess? Could be an altar or if it's an item it will possibly be some sort of inheritance pass down from priestess to priestess."- Some comics it's an altar or a special place but on some others is a gem or precious item.- Luckily the priestess understood my query, she made a nod with her head to one of the younger girls on the village and minutes later she came back carrying the biggest-ass ruby I've seen. It was the size of an eyeball and I could feel the divinity coming from it... I've just realize that Gaea might be some batshit crazy goddess because that's a drop of her blood. Does she not know how many crazy fuckers would raid this place just for some of the divinity oozing out from it?
"Damn! That's your goddess' blood. That would definitely work!"- The girl carrying it stopped walking and looked down at the rock with a newfound fear.
"Her blood?"- Asked the priestess.
"Yes her blood. Never let any outsiders see that! That's worth more than a few countries for the people that know of it's value."- The names of some dark sorcerers and vampires out there come to my mind.- After my declaration everyone present started gushing out wariness while measuring us.
"Don't be stupids, my "blood" is worth like a million of those. I don't need it and no one here except you and Ororo have any use for it."- My "blood" is not technically blood but more like 'drops of reality infused with the essence of soul', so yeah that drop of Gaea might be just water in my eyes.- It looks like these guys are not suspicious of us anymore but now they think that I'm an arrogant fool that thinks of himself as higher than a god.- Whatever! I don't have time to show them the real shine, I still have a deal to make with a goddess.
"So can you lend that to Ororo?"- They agreed since their trust and affection to Ororo is borderline faith. I wouldn't be surprise if she suddenly starts developing a divinity core, or some cultivator shit like that.
"What am I suppose to do with it?"- Asked the ignorant mutant priestess. Her palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy... I bet if you were part of the mundane and someone gave you a drop of divine blood you would have vomit on your sweater already... mom's spaghetti. I should stop thinking about the classics from my parents' time.
"Ororo just hold it and close your eyes while thinking about communicating with your goddess. You should lay down since you'll probably fall unconscious when she pulls you in."- I will follow her consciousness to Gaea's place with my eyes and then I will just invite myself in with a portal.
Ororo was brought to one of their 'beds' where she laid down and followed my instructions. In less than a sec I saw here consciousness fly towards a pocket dimension, I followed her with my eyes but I let them have a talk before warping there. I bet Gaea has a lot to say to her unfilial daughter.
Ororo POV
Aragorn mentioned something about my connection with a goddess and I just played along, given his track record when it comes to connections with beings of power, AKA Jean, it made little sense for him to lie... but I certainly didn't expect for him to be right. Well, I certainly didn't want him to be right. The reason for that is coincidentally Jean herself, after Aragorn removed the seals that the professor placed on her she changed, I don't know if it's related to the memories that the professor sealed or if it's because of the connection with the Phoenix; initially, like Scott and the professor mentioned, we suspected that it was Aragorn influencing her but I dismissed that theory when Kitty kept being Kitty despite spending more time with him than Jean. Jean and Kitty did confirm that Jean spends most of her interactions fighting with him; but Kitty and him get along like old time friends, but Kitty hasn't changed.
But I've never felt any aversion from my goddess and when I saw the ruby, or blood drop, I felt a sense of familiarity with it. I followed Aragorn's advice and closed my eyes before I started thinking about my goddess and then It felt like I was falling through the canopy of a really dense jungle, I felt the foliage softening my 'fall' until I found myself in a lush savanna, full with life, I could see the dichotomy of lifeforms all inhabiting one place, you could find predators and prey living in harmony. And before I could study more of this place I felt a voice filled with motherly love and concern:
"DO YOU LIKE IT MY DAUGHTER?"- I looked to my right where I found a woman with physical traits like mine, blue eyes, white hair and chocolate skin, with a body that represented the word mother quite strikingly. She also had a presence that hugged my body with care.
"Daughter?..."- I asked her with curiosity and some healthy fear, she is a goddess in all of her right.
"YES. I AM NO LONGER AS WELL KNOWN AS I WAS BEFORE. BUT I RAISED HUMANITY AND I KEEP PROTECTING YOU AND TAKING CARE OF YOU EVEN AFTER ALL THE MELENIA. ALL OF YOU ARE MY CHILDREN BUT YOU ARE SPECIALLY SO. I GUIDED THE MUTATION ON YOUR POWERS TO ENCOMPASS ONE OF MY DOMAINS, WEATHER, ALSO KNOWN AS ATMOKINESIS AND I GAVE YOU A SPECK OF MY ESSENCE."- She said while getting closer to me and embracing me in a hug at the end of her message. I should feel some level of caution towards her but I felt as if rejecting her hug would have been a sacrilege.
"YOU BROUGHT TO MY DOMAIN A RATHER... DISTINGUISHED INDIVIDUAL."- When she made reference to Aragorn I felt her uneasy and wary of him.
"I don't understand, is he a danger or bad?"- We don't trust him but so far he has delivered as promised, I can say with full certainty that Jean is the strongest mutant that I know and that she no longer has problems with her telepathy.
"DANGER IS A VERY BROAD TERM. YOU ARE A DANGER TO MY OTHER CHILDREN BECAUSE OF YOUR POWERS, SAME AS SOME OF MY OTHER 'MUTATED' CHILDREN. BUT YOU ARE NOT LIKELY TO REPRESENT THAT DANGER. HE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS EXISTENCE IN RANGE OF MY SENSES. BAD AND GOOD ARE TERMS THAT ARE USUALLY NOT APPLIED TO BEINGS OF OUR LEVEL. WE FOLLOW THE LAW OF STRENGHT. THE STRONGEST IS THE RIGHTEOUS."
"Is he stronger than you?"- I didn't want to ask that question. We have known that Aragorn was stronger that us, the X-Men, but we have never known how much more.
"HAHAHAHA YES MY DAUGHTER. HE IS NOT EVEN WITHIN MY BRACKET OF POWER. HE IS WHAT GODS CALL COSMICS. HE IS A VERY PECULIAR ONE, HE IS LIKE A COSMIC THAT IT'S HOLDING BACK JUST ENOUGH TO AVOID FULLY MOVING INTO SAID LEVEL. BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ILL INTENTIONS SO FAR... HE IS COMING."- Not long after a portal different to the ones he normally employs opened in front of us.
"Hello there Gaea!... Ehrmm I can come back later if you want more time with Ororo."- He said after noticing how Gaea was warmly embracing me.- I couldn't help but blush a little, but I still don't feel like leaving my goddess' arms.
"NO IT'S NOT NEEDED DRAGON. I'M JUST HAPPY TO HAVE ONE OF MY CHILDREN VISITING ME. WHAT CAN THIS HUMBLE GODDESS DO FOR YOU TODAY DRAGON?"- She said with a small smile on her face.
"Oh that's okay! Ororo didn't know how to come here but she should be able to visit you from now on. Regarding my business... I wanted to trade with you for a blessing on Halo, my home. I wanted to raise some magical creatures but I needed the blessing of a mother goddess to enable the birth of new creatures. You're the closest one. I just don't know what you might be interested in trading for it."- He said the last part with less conviction.
"WHY NOT RAISE ONE OF YOUR WOMEN INTO A MOTHER GODDESS?"- He can do that?
"Their souls are not ready for divinity... also they are not my women... more like little sisters or adopted daughters."- When he mentioned the girls I could literally see the affection on his eyes, at least that's what I assume pink galaxies imply.- Now I feel bad about what I thought of him before when I saw his maids.
"ISN'T SOULS SOMETHING WITHIN YOUR DOMAIN?"
"Kind of, but If I start to meddle with souls I'll eventually increase my power and gain an aspect. I am not ready to become an Aspect, besides I made a deal with The One Above All where I'm require to keep this level of strength for the moment. I could possibly gain an aspect just fine but it will complicate my work."- I could feel my goddess tremble a little when he mentioned that name.
"ARE YOU HERE UNDER HIS ORDERS?"
"No... This universe was assigned as my home, It made sense since if I was assigned a dimension of my own I would get stronger and break through my current level. Again, something that we don't want."
"I UNDERSTAND... FOR MY BLESSING I WANT TWO THINGS. I WANT A PLACE UNDER YOUR PROTECTION ON 'HALO' AND A PIECE OF YOUR SOUL"- My goddess were you a demon all this time?
"I don't mind about the first condition. I can give you some territory over there and overall it'll be for my benefit, your presence alone is that beneficial, but Why would you want a piece of my soul?"- I have the same question. I can't say if it's because of my ignorance about godly affairs or because of my common sense but a piece of ones soul doesn't sound like something you should waiver with.
"THE VARIOUS SEERS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO CONSULT WITH HAVE ALL PREDICTED THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. BUT A FEW WEEKS AGO THEY ALL LOST A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF THE CERTAINTY ON THEIR VISION. NOBODY KNEW WHAT IT MEANT, BUT I CAN SAFELY ASSUME THAT IT WAS BORN FROM YOUR EXISTENCE. IS THAT CORRECT?"- The end of the universe? Like the apocalypse?
"Yes that it the case. My soul tends to have that effect on time."
"I WOULD LIKE TO BE POSSITIVE ABOUT THIS BUT IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I HAVE LEARNED IN MY YEARS IS 'NOT TO PUT ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET' AS MY CHILDREN SAY. SO I WANT TO USE A PIECE OF OUR SOULS TO BIRTH A STRONG CHILD THAT COULD HELP OUR WORLD."- MY GODDESS, WHAT?
Aragorn POV
First of all, I would normally say 'dafuq?', but the more I think about this from another angle the more I'm reminded of a problem that Spark and I have been mulling about. Because Noona is Death she can't bear life, so we won't be able to procreate. I know that we are not even in a relationship yet but I can't honestly see myself with any other, I live with 'mortals' but even if they were immortal it would be difficult to have a relation as equals with someone that you can accidentally kill while in bed, and I might be lacking in some social tango but I can at least tell that Noona is interested. In retrospective she basically designed my humanoid form. Spark and I have reached a conclusion a few times based on some of our comic knowledge, since Noona can't bear a child we could use a goddess related to motherhood to bear it for us, yes the poor child will probably be confused about it's three parents but there are stranger families around. Best of all, this is a sort of proven method, Thor, he is the child of Gaea, Phoenix and Odin... kind of. The problem is that I haven't been able to talk to Noona yet so I can't make the decision on my own. Shit! I can't let this opportunity go, after all Gaea is the strongest mother goddess that I know of. Strong enough to bear my and Noona's essence.
"Gaea do you mind waiting here for me? There's someone I like but she might be interested in the idea as well."- Noona for sure knows about the limitations of her status.
"WHY WOULD SHE?"- Yes from a normal point of view under normal circumstances there's no way that a woman would be interested in her partner having a baby with another woman. But even if I behave like a human I'm not, I'm way more practical... or so I like to say... but Noona, Noona is the farthest thing from a human I bet she will appreciate the opportunity.
"She can't bear life so if you can bear the baby's life for her we could have a baby mixed with the essence of the three of us. She is stronger than me so you'll be getting your OP baby, and because of her 'job' and type of existence she can't be present here raising the baby, meaning to you will have some influence in the baby's upbringing."- Under normal circumstances, Cosmic Abstracts can't be on one place without affecting it, so Noona can't be physically present at all times without turning this place into a death realm. Me and future baby will visit her often but that's it. Normal life can't grow in Noona's realm.
"IT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER. I CAN WAIT."- Yes for you and us it's better. This is the equivalent of going out to buy some groceries and coming back with the deed for a new farm.- I opened a portal to Noona's palace and crossed over in a hurry.- Now that I think about it... Am I not basically proposing to Noona? Shit! Now I'm nervous and I feel like I'm rushing things here. But we won't have this opportunity again.
Death POV
I just felt someone invading my realm but it turns out, it is my idiot dragon. I missed him and I been working on the next steps to have him declare his eternal love for me. Yeah he will declare his love, I can't have it be another way. But! I most be patient, this is a work that will take time and some subtlety. I can't go to hard nor to soft.
It's basically impossible to find someone in my level of strength that I could approve, not crazy or wholly uninterested. Besides in our case there are not plenty of fish in the sea, and all the men in my level of existence are beings driven by their concepts, they basically become the concept they embody, no one has a personality. What I'm trying to say is that my idiot dragon is prime state material, I'm glad that only us Abstracts and Phoenix know about him.
Honestly based on my calculations my idiot should know by now that I'm interested in him, if he can't gather enough courage to ask me on a date then even if my options are non-existent I don't think I should settle for him... But he is perfect so please don't be an idiot Aragorn or you will soon have your first cosmic battle, against me.
When I think of him I can't help but let some of my ugly feelings out, but Who can blame me? I basically sculpted him to be mine, to be my version of perfect and he was already lovely before I just needed to give him some pushes in the right direction; so How can let him go and have another enjoy my dragon? But I must remain calm and collected! I keep repeating on my mind that I don't need to worry to much, after all those pink eyes of him are basically a guarantee. I also made sure that he would only think about me. I'm good! I'm Golden!
He is almost here and he looks to be in a rush, maybe he needs some help, and that's better for me since I will be able to further stablish my image in him. Let's see what he wants and then later I could drop some clues about the perfect date that I have in mind... or wedding... *sigh* Patience! It won't be long before he begs for my hand in marriage.
*Bang!*- He opened the door. A soon as his eyes laid upon my own they switched to pink stars.- Hehehe! Yes he IS my dragon! Love me!
"Noona! Let's have a baby!"- ... ???
"... ???"- I-I... What about the date/wedding?
"...."- His eyes keep switching between golden and pink nebulas... honestly... Fuck it! I don't know how or why but we are having a baby!
"... Okay! Aragorn lets have a baby!"- This is not the subtlety that I was planning for, but Why would I look a gift horse in the mouth?- Aragorn came closer to me and he reached down to my waist with his hands before raising me up from my seat. He hugged my waist and I reached for his neck with my arms. I looked up to his face, into my beautiful pink eyes and said:
"I'm all for jumping over the appropriate steps set by mortals but... Can you explain yourself please, Aragorn?"- I didn't let go of him and he embraced me further, like trying to weld our bodies forever.~ Yes please my dragon I don't mind at all, squish me.
"Right! Noona! I wanted a blessing from Gaea for my Halo, I wanted to raise some magical beasts, and Gaea wants a strong overpowered baby so that she could secure the continuance of the universe. She suggested having a piece of me so she could impregnate herself, of course I thought it was not possible given that she is not you, my Noona, but then I remembered that if we ever want to have kids it won't be possible with just the two of us, we need a mother goddess strong enough to resist your essence without accidentally granting the baby 'death', but I couldn't take the decision on my own so I came to you!"- Heheheheh! Aragorn was thinking about this while I was thinking about how to conquer him, now I feel like the idiot. I should have claimed him sooner.
"Let's go then! But kiss me first!"- We were already rubbing noses together while I was enjoying the pink and golden celestial show in his eyes, he brought his lips against my own and we had our very own first kiss. It was a chaste kiss at the start, I could feel his breathing synching with mine as our rhythms became one, our kiss began to heat up and I could now enjoy how his forked tongue pushed against mine, I could feel him playing with my own and I was playing with his, but we had a baby to create so I had to stop for now. ~But it won't be long before I could use those horns as handles!
"Stop Aragorn... for now. We have a baby to make!"- I could not stop myself from picturing a baby of my dragon and me, of course there's Gaea but if she helps where I can't then I can only be grateful to her.
"Yes Noona we will continue later. I will start visiting you every week from now on."- I looked into those mesmerizing pink eyes and gave him a kiss on the chin. ~I'd like that!
"Yes Aragorn, you should sleep here once a week!"- Aragorn smile grew brighter before giving me another chaste kiss on my lips. ~!~I like him this assertive and goofy!
After exiting from the portal while holding hands we came out to a pocket realm filled with life, I could even feel my sister's authority in here. Gaea will definitely be able to house our baby. I immediately located the goddess in question along with a trembling mess of a mortal. I had to pull back my authority if I didn't want her dying. I can't harm my darling's friends, or the future mother of my baby for that matter.
"I'm back Gaea! This is Noona Death, or as most of you know her, Lady Death! We agreed to your offer of housing our baby!"- Based on the amount of trembling on the Goddess I can infer that my idiot didn't explained who I was beforehand.
"THANK YOU FOR RESTRAINING YOUR PRESENCE MY LADY. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I WAS BEING GRANTED THE HONOR OF HAVING THE CHILD OF ONE OF THE ABSTRACTS. I'M GREATLY HONORED MY LADY."
"Don't worry Gaea, I didn't know that I was having a baby until Aragorn jumped elven thousand steps forward into child bearing."- ~Hehehe! Not that I'm complaining!
"Hehehehehe!"- Laughed darling.
"How long will the gestation take Gaea?"- Given the peculiarity of the baby I would assume that it will take long compared to mortal gestation.
"I CAN'T TELL FOR SURE. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES I COULD SAY BETWEEN 70 TO 110 YEARS."
"Is it because you lack energy or divinity?"- I asked her as confirmation.
"THAT IS THE CASE MY LADY. FORGIVE ME"- She said while lowering her head. But that's an amazing timeframe considering it is our baby. The baby of an abstract and a monster born from The Void.
"If it's because of a lack of energy can't you just use me instead?"- Oh! My not so idiot dragon! That's a genius idea!
"Yes! we could do that instead!"- I exclaimed while connecting the dots.
"I MUST APOLOGIZE BUT I DON'T FOLLOW."- I don't blame you, only Aragorn fits the criteria for this idea. Aragorn and dimensions or/and realms.
"It's like how Odin pulls energy from Asgard and then converts it into the 'Odin Force'. I will be your Asgard and you will convert it into the 'Baby force'. We just need to link our souls and done!"- Except if Asgard was the size of an universe.
"...THAT'S POSSIBLE INDEED. YOUR SOUL PRODUCES MORE ENERGY THAN IT CAN USE."- Yes Aragorn usually just recycles the surplus or feeds it to creation.
"How long do you think it will take if we do it like that?"- I asked fully on board.
"ABOUT 10 YEARS MAXIMUM"- Yei! I get a baby in a decade! This will be enough time to get closer.
"Yes!"- I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one excited.
First Aragorn linked his soul to Gaea's, it was funny seeing how she found horror and respect after she saw his soul through the link. Then Aragorn broke a piece of his soul away, this small piece will work as the spark for our baby's soul, no normal soul could afford to mix with the essence of an abstract so the only reason that I could dream of the idea of motherhood is because of the existence of my miraculous dragon. Aragorn held the spark of soul in his hand with care and love while I and Gaea pour our essence into it. After a few minutes the spark was full and it took the resemblance of a golden, black and green star, Gaea then carefully brought it to her lower belly and it merged into her womb.
"Are you alright only pulling this much energy Gaea?"- Asked Aragorn with concern.
"YES... ARAGORN... LIFE TAKES TIME TO DEVELOP. EVEN WITH A BASICALLY INFINITE AMOUNT OF ENERGY SOME THINGS NEED TO FOLLOW THEIR PATH."
"I trust you Gaea. You are the only one of us that has the attribute of life and the experience... Do you want to move to the Halo now? I rather have you close to me from know on."- ~Hehehe yes darling you have to protect our baby.
"YES. I FEEL LIKE I'M CARRYING THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE MULTIVERSE. I PREFER TO BE CLOSE TO YOU TOO. I DON'T WANT TO RISK ONE OF MY IDIOT BROTHERS GETTING IDEAS OR ONE OF THE OTHER COSMICS."- You are not wrong there, that baby will be the most coveted existence in the multiverse once it's born. After all it's the baby of a being that can jump over some of the intrinsic rules of existence, an aspect (me) of it and a goddess representing the opposing concept (life).
"Heh! They would become part of the inexistence before that."-~GRRR I love those red eyes. But don't worry darling I would claim them before they even get close to this universe.
"Noona do you want to meet my maids and butler? I know you can't be here for long but a little while should be fine, right?"- How can't I say no to those pleading eyes?
"Yes! Let's go! I want to meet these girls."- From time to time I've been... 'observing' darling, so I know about the girls that take care of him. I bet I will be able get them to help me monitor him.
Aragorn opened a portal for me and Gaea before going through another to pick up some of his friends.
Aragorn POV
After sending Noona and Gaea ahead of us I went back to pick up Logan and Ororo.
*GASP*- Was the first thing that Ororo did once she woke up. Then she started to shiver and she cried a little.
"Storm! What's going on? Are you Okay?"- Asked Logan while preoccupied.
"*Hic*... *Sniff*... Sorry L-Logan is just... she was scary... I thought I was dying."- Ah shit! She must have been hit by Noona's concept or authority as she calls it.
"Who?! The goddess?"- Well this is Awkward.
"No. My goddess Gaea felt like a mother to me. But Aragorn brought his... wife? and she... I-It just felt like I was dying."- You just earned yourself a favor by calling Noona my wife! But you also just dumped the fault on me and now Logan looks like I just kicked his cub.
"I'm sorry Ororo... She didn't know that you were going to be there. She reigned her presence when she saw you. I don't feel her presence and I'm used to living among humans so I thought that higher beings didn't emit a presence. I should have told her beforehand, it was an honest mistake!"- Logan is giving me a weird look now, a mix of anger and 'are you serious dude?', It was a honest mistake.
"*Sigh* It's fine Aragorn... let's just go and stop making them wait. I would prefer not to piss your lady."
I already had Spark call the girls to the living room and luckily Jean and Kitty are around. I portaled to the place where I left Noona and Gaea and took us to the house.
"Logan this is Gaea and this is my Noona, Lady Death."- Of course logan's instincts felt in synch with Gaea given that she is nature, but he almost died on reflex when he saw Noona.
"Hello child."-Gaea.- Interesting! Her voice is projected differently outside of her realm.
"Hello Ma'am, My Lady Nice to meet you."- I think his instincts pulled out his manners out of his bullet ridden mind for the sake of preservation.
"Is he a friend of yours darling?"- Asked my sweet Noona.
"He is a friend of my butler and Phoenix's Avatar."- Yes my friends are the girls, Bucky and Spark.
"Hello Master Chief. Madam Death, goddess Gaea it's a pleasure. My name is Spark if you need anything just let me know."- Spark said after he let us in and guided us to the living room.
"He is alive but it's not organic... Did you make him?"- Gaea.
"Yes. I combined a universe worth of knowledge on artificial intelligence and created Spark. His soul is growing but I'm sure that it will become able of housing divinity in the future. Not that I know if Spark will choose that path or not."- Maybe once he is developed enough he will ascend to god of machines, or technology, but that's far away for now, he is technically just a child soul.
While we were walking to the living room Gaea was intrigued by Spark's existence while Noona was curiously looking around. When we got to the living room I could see my 49 girls, Emma, Natalia and Bucky waiting for us there. We also got lucky because Jean and Kitty were here already.
"Hello everybody! I asked spark to call you here to introduce you to Gaea, who will be living with us, and Noona. Some of you might know of them already from the courses on the leaning room. Gaea is the mother goddess of a few pantheons and she is also known as Mother Earth. Noona is the Cosmic Aspect of Death, my direct superior and since recently my... are we married? Dating?"- I think we forgot to label us.
"You idiot dragon! *Sigh* yes you can call me your wife now!"- Hehehe Noona you are smiling like me.
"Yes! You heard her! my wife since recently!... Noona can't stay here for long so I wanted to introduce you guys before she left, just in case that you find her around here at some point. You can go back to your business but Jean, Emma, Natalia, James, Irina and Yelena please stay.- My girls are highly adaptable and used to my business, so they just gave a nod of agreement with some respectful smiles, before going back to their business... apparently some of them are developing some new games for the gaming company that I have yet to create on-world.
"Hi girls!... and James! I wanted to introduce you to these two because Gaea will be staying with us at least for the next 10 years and Noona will probably visit from time to time."
