Chapter 89: Quest 82- Celebrity

After waking up Cirrus got up and walked down with his mask on to find Artemis and Nox preparing food. They were surprised he had woken up and sat him down. Artemis informed him he was out cold for 18 days and of what had happened, Cirrus leaned back and took a deep breath.

“Oh well…guess that’s that then.”

Food was done and they all ate, after eating he went out and found that the village was making progress in rebuilding. Many of the villagers who saw him came up to him and shook his hand. They thanked him and praised him for fighting such a monster and to look where he fought.

Cirrus walked to the hole in the mountain and was a bit amazed. The mountains were like glass and the trees were carbonized leaving a very unnatural destruction.

‘So…is this why you were sealed Nox…talk about a trump card.’

“Amazing isn’t it.” Said Rethusa walking next to him.

“Ah Reth…how was the fight? Did you get a few people?”

“Eh…they were weak, a single shot and they were on the ground crying, but can you really compare what I went through to yours?” she then pointed at the aftermath of the battle.

“Well…we all have our monsters, mines was just…mountain sized.”

“Well while were here do you mind if you spar with some of the Familia?”

“Hm? uh sure? But why?”

“Well we want to improve ourselves so Lady Artemis could rely on us more and to you as well.”

“Very well, but how long are we gonna be staying here?”

“Until we helped them rebuild some of the buildings.”

Cirrus turns around and sees some of the buildings being rebuilt.

“…Well guess we really will be here for a while.”

Cirrus and the Artemis Familia would stay there for a week helping the village rebuild. Cirrus wanted to leave sooner but Artemis suggest they did it to help die down the heat for when Cirrus returns to Orario. Cirrus agrees and informed Fels and Ouranos that he’ll be gone for another week.

Fels asked him if his health was alright, and Cirrus said he was fine just that he’s going through some…personal change.

In that week Cirrus would spar and train with the Artemis Familia far more, improving his archery and their close combat skills they benefited greatly from one another.

In that time Cirrus and Nox sung their songs to the village to help boost morale and make this experience better for the people and children.

After many of the homes were rebuilt Cirrus and the Artemis Familia head back to Orario.

           

On the way back they stopped by The Empire for a bit and learned that Ate’s Familia tried to overthrow the ruling Familia in The Empire and lost returning to heaven and her Familia disbanding.

“I told her not to go far. She brought this onto herself.” Artemis said as she sits down in an Inn listening to Cirrus and Nox telling her.

“Say aren’t you going to fight a goddess here?” said Nox. “When were we performing we heard a wrestling goddess, or something was waiting for you?” she said with a grin on her face.

“Ah yes…well I guess this would be a good way to show you Pankration!”

 

On the ride back from The Empire, Artemis was riding with her captain.

“Ugh…how is my neck still hurting after a nights rest.” Artemis said rubbing her neck.

“You sure did put up a good fight Lady Artemis!” said Rethusa.

“Yeah but she was like a snake with how she locked your body up with her movements it was pretty amazing.” Said Nox.

“Even more when you broke free, and you had her in a headlock!” Said Cirrus.

“Sadly if she wasn’t so muscular I’m sure you would have won!” said Phi. “But are you being modest and not saying if she used her Arcanum? Even a little sliver?”

“I am positive, she must have worked to gain that strength…or she just had it.”

“Hmm…now that I think about it do gods even gain or lose weight?” Cirrus said. “I saw many male gods drinking beer like it’s nothing and yet they have no beer belly?”

“Ah…I don’t know? I always stayed in the wilderness so I’m usually very active…I should ask some of the other goddess when we return.”

When nearing Orario, Cirrus put on his cloak. When they did arrive at the North Gate many people looked at Zephyr with awe.

“…”

Cirrus didn’t know how to feel about this, this was a feeling incredibly more intense then when he fought Ottar, a feeling of awe, reverence, joy, along with…fear, shallow murderous intent, and envy.

            ‘So this is what my mom felt all the time…I can truly see why you left me.’

Cirrus looks around as many made way for him and the Artemis Familia to pass on by.

‘The feeling that anyone of these could try and kill ones child to get at them…it disgusts me.’

“Artemis I’ll be leaving first.”

“Alright, are you taking the horse?”

“No, can you handle it?”

“Hm, go on ahead.”

She too could feel the glances on her as well.

“Thank you.”

Cirrus gets off the horse and jumps onto the rooftops disappearing from sight along with Nox who was riding on his shoulder.

‘Boy that was very…tense.’

“Well let’s just head back to Ouranos for now, worrying about those gazes will do us nothing.” He activates the hood with Nox resting on Cirrus’s neck making them both invisible.

 

Arriving to the Room of Prayer through one of the Northern secret entrances Cirrus kneels before Ouranos.

“It has been a while Lord Ouranos.”

“It has Cirrus. Nox how is your condition? And you as well Cirrus?”

“Hm? I’m fine?” said Cirrus. “Well aside from being a bit tiered I’m good. Nox?”

“I’m fine, actually I’m a bit better!” she said with a smile. “Ever since I cut loose I just been in a good mood! Like when I was first released! Or when I was born!”

“Hmm….well so long as you both are alright; now can you give me your report?”

“Hm, very well.”

Cirrus told Ouranos of what happened and of Alecto.

“That is…well at least now know where she and some of her Familia went.” Said Fels.

“Yeah, and it’s in Telskyura of all places. Last I heard from that place was that they have children who learn to kill before they could even talk.” Said Cirrus.

“Well Amazonians are a battle centric race.” Said Nox. “I’m surprised they haven’t changed much since my sealing.”

“Thankfully, they just stick to their country and mostly all the Amazonians outside of it aren’t as battle crazed as them, putting it loosely.” Said Fels. “Speaking of, you should be even more careful now Cirrus.”

“Hm? why is that?”

“All of Orario has seen your fight with that mountain sized monster, every Familia will try to poach you and every Amazoness in the city will try and lay with you.”

“Ah…that is true.” Said Nox. “Guess it’s that biological instinct that kept them alive over the years.”

“Uhh…care to explain?” said Cirrus. “There aren’t many books on Amazoness or anything of the like? As far as I know they love battle and that all of them are fe….male…oh.”

Cirrus had figured it out, with the Amazoness being a female only race they must breed outside their race to repopulate and given their nature in loving battle they would obviously want the strongest genes for their children.

‘What a great time to be going through puberty again!!’

“Worry not I’ll be sure to protect him!” said Nox standing up with her right hand to her chest. “None shall take his purity!”

“…Kill me now.” Cirrus said under his breath covering his embarrassed face.
