Scarblade Goddess

CHAPTER 28

[The lost kid in a tour]

"To BE LI'L NASSUS'S MENTOR!",

as Lilieth told with great cheerfulness. Both Yumine and Miro were dumbstruck over the term that Lilieth had mentioned. Though, sooner or later, Miro understood of what Lilieth had meant,

"Now that you've mentioned it, Goddess Lilieth. I could become some sort of teacher for him.".

He held his own chin and guessed something out, since Lilieth made some kind of sense. Then, he continued to say,

"If we're talking about basic things, self-defense, and some fundamentals of magic that is...".

As Yumine heard Miro's elaborate tidbits of information about himself, she was surely convinced that Miro would fit the role perfectly. Thereon, Yumine nodded and said filled with humor,

"Yeah, I agree. I just hope Ori would allow it. Since, she's kinda OVERPROTECTIVE to her little Nassus.".

Miro had doubts for a second,

"Come to think of it, I thought those two would be with you?".

Yumine replied with an awkward look on her face,

"Well about Ori, she's—.".

Meanwhile, back at the ground floor of Celestia Heavenly mall, Otorine was running around the hallways and asking the other deities if they have seen the young Nassus. Her search took long, while she was masking a worried expression. Not only that, she was also deep in her thoughts,

"Where could Nassus be? I hope nothing bad has happened to him.".

Sadly, no one have seen a little kid walking along the vast place. Soon, Otorine took a short rest at a bench. The next moment, everything was filled with an unnatural silence. The hand from the abyss emerged behind her once again and Otorine felt touching her cheeks this time around. After that, it let out a voice that would scare anyone's soul,

"Everything is a lie...".

In a split second, the hand was gone and the atmosphere was back to normal, as she could see the vibrant place crowded with lots of deities. Although, Otorine felt a cold shoulder,

"What was that, I felt and heard before?".

Soon, Ru and Zeran were strolling along and noticed that Otorine looked very problematic. Ru went near Otorine and asked her,

"Ori? What's wrong?".

Otorine asked them back,

"Ru, Zeran, have you seen Nassus?".

Ru replied the same response as the others,

"We haven't seen him around here...".

Ru felt some kind of pity for the distressed Otorine, so Ru held Otorine's cold hands. Ru wore a nice smile and suggested something to Otorine that'll liven her hopes up,

"Why don't we find him together then? To help our fellow Goddess friend!".

Ru took a glance at her husband and told him,

"Don't we, my dear Zera?".

Zeran noticed that his wife was wearing a smile. Her smile was gleaming like the starlight amplified by her luscious lips. It seemed he can't say no to his woman's words, so he just replied with a smile, while he was masking an unsure look on his face,

"Well okay...I guess?".

Otorine felt a ray of hope from her friend's suggestion. Sooner or later, Otorine stood up. They continued to search for the little Nassus along the the winding curved hallways. They asked more and more deities although, none of them found or noticed the little Nassus who was strolling along the place. Thankfully, Otorine was able to ask more Gods and Goddesses due to Ru and Zeran's help. After a while, they witnessed that the petite-looking Goddess Shunya was roaming along the hallways slowly and happiliy. She was eating a popsicle and carrying a shopping bag filled with groceries. There after, they asked her if she had seen a little kid had passed-by. Shunya replied back and pointed at the huge crystal museum that was encased in clear glass,
