Chapter 111: Quest 101- Mountain Traversal

Spending some time in Telskyura to recover Cirrus sparred with Ai, since for 4 years Cirrus had been more busy smithing and making stuff to escape the island has had slacked off on his fighting.

“Huff! Huff! Ugh! I’m really rusty.” Cirrus said with various cuts.

“Hmm…it’s a bit frustrating you are holding your own I thought I would beat you down more.” Ai said with barley any sweat.

“I am a level higher than you but…” Cirrus touches the cuts she made on him. “Your skills are certainly better than mines.”

“Then let me clean up the rust!!” Ai then resumed her relentless assault.

While watching Cirrus spar with Ai, Nox was eating to regain some of the weight she lost along with Circe who was eating modern day foods.

“Hmmm!! This meat tastes so good!” Circe said.

“When we return to nom! Orario!” Nox said with a mouth full of food. “I’ll take you to some good restaurants!”

“Hm! by the way Nox um…thanks for umm…leading the hunters to…you know?” Circe said looking down.

“…No worries I’m glad a fellow spirit from a night goddess has survived.”

“Hmm…so they really won’t hunt us?”

“Nope, in fact most of the ones that went after us are dead and our contractor is one of the strongest people in the world! So no worries! On second thought…I need to keep a careful eye on him when he does stupid stuff.”

“Hm he told me how he got to my island.”

“Yeah…thank you again for saving him.”

“Hm, no worries if he didn’t show up I’m sure I would still be alone on that island till…who knows how long.”

Bache also spared with Ai but with mixed results, her sister would peek around the corner for a while and then leave.

 

After some days they were ready to leave.

“Bwa-hahahahahaha!!! It’s nice to see you up and ready to go!” said Kali.

“Yeah…well I would like it if you didn’t give me a tattoo.” Cirrus said touching the right shoulder which had a very geometrical appearance that went down to his elbow in geometric shapes.

“It’s to show you are able to come to and from Telskyura.” Said Bache. “It’s our way of apologizing for what had happened to you.”

“And also we got a new batch of strong Amazoness!” said Kali. “Those Poseidon Familia sure do have an appetite!”

“Hmm…Ai why didn’t you get one to?”

“It’s frown upon in my homeland to get a tattoo, only criminals get them.” She said. “But…it does look good on you.” She said with a smile.

“I-I see…” Cirrus said turning his head. “Ahem! So shall we get going?”

“Are we not going to take The Paddle with us?” said Circe.

“Uhh…no I rather try and get rid of this rust I got from not fighting after 4 years.”

“Even after you spent four years of hard work to let it stay there?”

“Oh well…I mean I’m sure Telskyura could use it for something.”

“No worries! We’ll put it to good use!” Kali said with a mischievous grin.

“…So let’s get going.”

They then began their travel’s with supplies given to them by Kali and her Familia.

 

Traversing the mountain area of the country Cirrus, Nox, and Circe were in awe from the majesty of the mountains and waterfalls.

“Ooo…amazing!” they all said.

“I thought so to when I came through here.” Said Ai.

“Hold on!” said Nox as she leaps off the edge and turns into a fairly big owl and flies around.

“Hey Circe, can you turn into a bird?” said Ai.

“…can you?” said Cirrus. “Nox turned into one to conserve on mana.”

“Um…I can but um…it’s not very cute…”

“Come one show us!” said Ai.

“I promise we won’t say anything.” Said Cirrus.

“Mmm…fine I’ll have your word.”

Circe stretches her limbs and leaps off the edge, a poof of smoke covers her and up flies an Northern goshawk with feathers like her pink hair.

“Holy shit you’re a falcon!!” shouted Cirrus.

‘Hmph! Do you like it?’

“It’s cool as hell! What do you think Nox!”

Nox flaps her wings looking at Circe’s falcon form.

‘It’s good but how good are you in flying!’

Nox then began to fly using some impressive maneuvers.

‘I-I can’t do that! I haven’t used this form in a long time!’

As the two flew around Cirrus was looking on with a smile.

“There like sisters!” Ai said.

“Yeah…so shall we get go-!!”

As Cirrus turned around Ai gave him a surprise kiss on the lips.

Thump-thump!

She smelled of flowers when she leaned in for a kiss, it was something Cirrus wouldn’t forget.

“Fufu I wanted to do that since I saw you, but we were around Nox and the others.” She said with a sly smile as she began to make her way through the mountain range.

“…” Cirrus had a surprised and blushing face as he softly touched his lips. “…Uwah.”

In the 4 years Ai had grown aggressive in her tactics from the times she would hangout with Aisha on her off days. The result of this would bare itself later down the line.
