Chapter 99: Quest 92- Land At Last

After one month at sea the crew finally saw land.

“Land!! We found land!!” said the man in the bird nest.

“Seems we made it!” said Poseidon. “As captain I’m impressed we made it so quickly!”

“Well that storm did help us out in covering a lot of distance.” Said Lance.

“Hm! hm! of course! If I couldn’t do that what god of the sea would I be!”

Up on the foretop of the ship Cirrus looks out with his Stymphalian armor.

“Hmmm….this seems to be it.”

‘Really? You can see that far?’

“Yeah, my eyes improved after that…experience.”

‘I see…you told me what happened as you slept back at Hecaton Village I’m surprised my magic did that.’

“Yes…I would rather not have that happen again if we could avoid that, who knows what will happen next time.”

‘Of course it’s only for a last resort.’

As they kept sailing they found a ship coming towards them waving a flag with a mandala with a demonic like mask with horns and skulls.

As the ship approached many of the sailors on board the ship could see several Amazonesses on board.

“Who are you trespassing onto our waters!” said the captain with only one thing that makes her stand apart from the rest of the Amazonesses where her tricorn hat.

“We are here for the Alecto Familia!” said Lance.

“Alecto?” the ship captain said.

She turned to her fellow Amazons and chatted for a bit.

“Tell us! Is the one known as Zephyr on board!!” she shouted.

Lance simply gestured his arm and Cirrus came down with his deer mask.

Thud!

“That is me.” Nox then flew down and perched on his antlers.

The Amazonesses all had a look Cirrus saw in the Amazonesses in Orario had.

“Follow us!” the captain said.

 

They followed the ship and docked at their port there several of the crew who were all men look at awe at the sea of dark-skinned beauties.

The crowd then parted with a goddess walking through as the ship docked and Poseidon along with Lance and Cirrus came down.

The goddess was small, around Cirrus’s height with hair as red as blood and eyes to pair along with a matching divinity. Her clothing was that of the Amazonesses.

“Greetings I am Kali, goddess of this Familia and country, I hope their Koine was good enough. I started to teach them it for a certain someone." Her eyes land on Cirrus. "So what is your name god?" she looked to Poseidon.

Poseidon walks up with a confident stride.

“I am Poseidon, head of the Poseidon Familia! This is my captain Lance Du Lac!”

Several of the Amazonesses started to whisper amongst themselves.

“Oh? so he’s Knight of Knights, the only level 7 in the world huh…” Kali said looking up and down on the Knight of Knights.

“That I am Lady Kali.” Said Lance giving a regal bow that smitten many of the Amazonesses.

Cirrus also followed in suit. He gave a bow as best as he could but it wasn't as refined as Lance's.

“And I am Zephyr, the Masked Prince, child of the goddess Astraea and a level 5!”

“Level 5 huh?” said Kali in disbelief. “I’ve seen the fight you had with that mountain sized monster, You must have quiet a few strong skills to let you fight like that.”

Cirrus took a step forward not wanting to continue to more probing.

“I will cut to the chase Lady Kali. I am here to get rid of the Alecto Familia, if you are giving them shelter I will rip through this country to get them.”

The Amazonesses could feel a strong intent from his words paired with his own deposition to fight on a dime if needed brought a smile to Kali’s face. Kali had hoped he would be more of a battle junkie but this was fine as well, a monster in a wolf's clothing.

“Bwa-hahahahahahahaha!!!!” she laughed out loud. “I would love to see you see you cause destruction..." The mere thought of such destruction gave her a big sadistic smile on her child-like face. Her divinity grew into a thick bloodlust. It filled the docks and many saw Kali as a terrifying destroyer who towered high above them.

Even Lance and Cirrus felt a child run down their backs. One of Kali's children came and whispered into her ear.

"Lady Kali." She said with a scarf covering the lower part of her face. "You have guests in attendance."

Her divinity and in turn her bloodlust calmed down to normal levels.

"Fuu~" she let out a deep breath. "Sadly this is the home of my children. I have no doubt you could easily destroy my country and then have a country worth of Amazonesses at your beck and call. You just have to look around you to see my words are true.”

Cirrus gave a quick glance and saw they all had the same face as the Amazonesses in Orario.

'I'm going to have to put in several locks in my room and windows.'

“Then were is Alecto?” Cirrus said getting back on track.

“Gone.”

“…What?” Cirrus and Poseidon said.

“Yup she left 3 weeks ago after finishing that seal of hers.”

“You learned of the seal and the dangers it posed and did nothing!” said Poseidon.

“Of course, I am the goddess of destruction so my curiosity was peaked, and I knew you would come to try and stop her or the very least come and kill the monster.”

“So…the monster is free then?” Lance asked.

“From what I can tell no but during her time here I could feel her Arcanum slowly whittle away at the seal.”

“Hmm Alecto is the Goddess of Punishment and Anger what could she do?” said Poseidon.

‘Alecto…if I remember right she had something to do with the underworld but if her attributes are punishment and anger so what could she…ah.’

“She used her Arcanum to make the monster stronger.” Said Cirrus.

“Hmm I didn’t think of that.” said Kali. “Then I guess you will be staying here until the monster is released right?”

“Well we have no choice.” Said Poseidon. “Do you know where place they sealed the monster at?”

“Of course it’s over there, we left an old ship as a marker.” Said Kali pointing out to sea.

Poseidon, Lance, Cirrus, and Nox turn to see a ship way off at sea.

“Seems we will be staying here far longer than expected.” Said Lance.

 

After Kali provided the crew a place to stay the Amazonesses quickly challenged the crew. Most of the crew were part of Poseidon’s Familia and were between level 1 to 3 so most of them were able to beat the Amazonesses and were treated very well having an Amazon or two in each arm. For Cirrus and Lance who were the strongest they were treated as kings without needed to be fought.

 At night Cirrus had to go a bit ways to give his report to Fels and Ouranos.

“So that’s the situation.”

“That is troublesome.” Said Fels.

“I plan on investigating the seal tomorrow if I’m not swarmed by Amazonesses…or even Kali.”

“Why would a goddess swarm you?”

“She is the goddess of destruction, and she thinks I’m the one who caused that explosion with the Hecatoncheires.”

“Hm she had a very starved look in her eyes, it was rather impressive for one with such a small frame.” Said Nox.

“Seems you will be gone far longer than expected then.”

“Yeah…I hope not too long.”

 

Down in the water in the ruins.

Creak!

Creak!

The seal has slowly start to corrode the ruins.
