Descent Into Madness

11, Inari's Will

A few weeks pass by...

The ship was still in shambles from the conflict. Eden was beginning to get used to my personality and the somewhat new environment. Not to mention how unnecessarily childish and playful she was. Without anything scary by her, she was pretty entertaining to be around.

"Okay! Where are we gonna go to again? This...desert planet...?" I suddenly heard her chime from a room away. "The planet is called 4547-B because it was just discovered by me a few days ago. I also know it's habitable because the ship said so." I explained back. "Can you really trust all this technology? It's so...excessive..." She'd reply calmly. "I don't know what kind of tech elven people have but this is all extremely reliable to be honest. Also, this place doesn't look so jumbled up normally. It's all broken from the fights" I'd explain once more.

I heard a gasp as I steered the ship around, spiraling my way down onto this planet which looked like a completely yellow ball from far away but when I got closer, I'd see some blue in some places; clouds and an atmosphere. "Oooh, that's why everything looks messy. This looks so...alien to me"

"Are you calling me an alien Eden...?"

"What!? No! You're a human...right...?"

"Elemental. I hate humans." I'd say that with a clear undertone of anger just so she knows that I do in fact really hate humans. They treated me like an object both on Earth and on Terra. Only difference being on Terra, they actually had some sort of hierarchy but on Earth, you were used regardless. "That definitely explains a lot. Elementals are almost all extinct now, you know?" She explained to me in a worried manner.  "I could also say that explains why I can't find almost any of my kind." I replied blatantly.

Later on, we would finally land on this planet. We had landed on a peaceful beach. Sand all the way up until the eye could see when you looked left and right and right behind it was a forest. An acacia land to be more exact. It felt like I was in a tropical fever dream. The sun was setting; almost finished setting and the sky was a cyber purple, glowing like a huge neon light. "Woah~ this looks pretty" I'd hear Eden murmur to herself.

And then that reminded me. I haven't asked this woman about where she comes from herself. "What's your planet like...?" I then inquired, my voice sounding a bit too monotone for my liking. Why do I keep sounding like I'm bored of people? "My planets made up of a lot of elves but we also have halflings, goblins, gargoyles..." It clicked.

"Isn't that the planet of Gaia? I thought it was only made up of small creatures like that. I didn't know any elves lived there."

"Oh, people always think us elves live in some distant planet. We're actually pretty close!" She chimed. Well, that gave me an idea. If I fix this ship quick enough, I'd be able to drop Eden back off to her home. That sounded pretty nice on paper and in my mind. In practice? It's a grueling task since my ship was in complete shambles. I also could feel a different presence here; I don't know when I picked up this ability but ever since the incident where the white aura appeared on me for the first time, I've been able to sense other people.

"I'm gonna go and find some shells here, maybe go for a swim."

Is this woman serious...? Not only do I sense something coming this way, I also do not wanna see a small elven woman just-

What the actual hell was on your mind just now, child?! Are you out of your mind?!

Y-you again? What's your problem? These are my thoughts!

Do not ever image something that utterly perverted again you fool.

I'm a f-cking man, of course I would when a woman mentions something like-
