Lala was humming to herself while taking Ghel for a flight.
"We should land far outside the city, we can't be seen flying! Think about how we look!" Ghel did not enjoy his experience. It may be because Lala was draging him by the foot.
"Ehh true, a beauty and a pervert flying wouldn't make a good entrance." Ghel sighed, the goal of getting new pants moved up a notch.
Ten minutes lated did Lala land making him reliefed. The city was still far away and they most probably weren't seen by the lookouts.
Lala looked at Ghel and smiled. "Ready to show the world yourself?" He knew what she meant, chuckling at her tunnelvision.
"Hehehehe, you know. I have a mask on, right?"
Lala didn't understand what he wanted and only raised an eyebrow.
"You know, I don't really care. So be it, let me be know as the pervert. What about you though? It's not like you can change your appearance! The beauty and the pervert, well said! Hahahaha." Payback time baby!
Lala was stunnend before joining Ghel with laughing, making the later stop.
"Ayy my dear little Master, this slave has gained some abilities which will make you cry." Before he could understand what she meant did he see it. Making him boil in anger! Unfair, outrageous!
Lala began to transform into an old woman with wrinkles and an overall gross appearance for most.
"Master, please don't use me to hard tonight." Even her voice changed to a raspy one!
"One day, one day I will get you for this." What could he do? Everytime he thought about getting some interest back did his plan fail. She was his nemesis! At least she doesn't kick him anymore.
"I will wait for that day, can we go now? It has been too long that I slept in a bed!"
"Yes yes, I could use some normal food too. The hardest part will probably be to get into the city though.." There wasn't a rule that forbid to wear anything but there was still a moral code.
Being naked or having on some kink clothes were for your own four walls. The Pants of Unknown Orgin was in the second category.
"Mhm, I still believe that you will find some way, else this old women will have to force my way in." Lala was just joking, the upcoming topic was to important.
"Yes, I wouldn't care truth be told. So what do you want to say?" There were too many jokes and side jabs she said the since her transformation. They may have not know each other for long, being almost 18 hours of the day for some time together will show you the ins and outs of a being.
"Was it that easy to tell?" Lala halted her steps.
Ghel turned his head and shook it. "Yes, the little princess trying to keep a fireplace warm is easy to spot. Alsoy the sooner you talk the sooner we can find a solution for your problem."
Lala was dumbfounded, my problem? "You misunderstood, its about you."
Now it was his turn to raise an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Lala thought for a moment. " Short version or long detailed version. Pick one."
Gazing at the city still a bit away he lowered his head and sighed. "Well, give me the version which will be finished before we are at the gates."
Lala raised her shoulders and began.
"First of, you have to understand why I know this. Because a person used something on me did my race change to something which should only exist in legends."
Ghel nodded, she said she was akin to a half-god.
"Because of that I can hear the voice of the world. How should I say this. Its like a whisper. Giving me some guidance, its hard to explain but think of wind carrying a fragrance into your nose. Do you get it?"
He gazed deadpan into her eyes, this old women..no Lala really had her way with examples. Sure, he did get it but what was that?
"Yes..what has that to do with me?" Why would her race change have something to do with himself except that he was the reason?
Lala smiled. "To come back to my example. I smell love from the world to you, wanting to protect you. In that smell is also danger, danger from the mask you have on and this whole continent. That leads to the second point. Can you guess why this continent is cut off by the rest of the world?"
Again with these examples. How can one smell love or danger? Well, she said its hard to explain but how would one..paah forget it. He could answer the question though.
"It's sealed, I got currency as a reward for..well getting revenge on you and the Uktena. Its written there as sealed continent currency. Don't know why though."
Lala was flabbergasted, he got money? A short glint was in the womens eyes before vanishing. This is more important.
"Yes. It isn't just sealed though. Why would there never be a Divine in this world beside me? And I can assure you, there probably isn't."
Ghel was silent, how did it turn from a monologue to a exam? He still thinked about all the information he knew.
Continent sealed, prohibited or impossible to reach the Divine realm. The mask has something to do with it too. What did she tell him again. Before it was a sacred artifact of that Devil Clan. Heaven Sealing Mask?
Wait a minute. There are several legends in this continent about places which Gods descended, now that he met one at one such place he could confirm that at least some would be true!
Gods place, heaven sealing mask, sealed continent, prohibited to reach the divine realm? Danger?!
A swallowing sound was heard by Ghel. He trembled a bit when he looked at Lala.

"If I had to guess, I'm surely wrong though(please), this continent was once or is still the home to a god. It made some bad decision and was sealed, with it the whole continent and the mask I have on was the key they used to seal it? Please tell me I'm wrong!"
Ghel had to hold back the urge to kneel and cry! It would make sense! Lala once talked about Divines and what they could do. The most important factor was that they weren't bound by mortal shackles. What would happen if someone just flew outaide and let the world know about this place!
Lala sighed,truly a genuis in the head. To think he was so close to the answer with such little information.
"Almost but essentialy...yes.." She couldn't describe her emotions. The truth was far harder to come hitting.
"Just do it, lower the sword and fulfill your duty as executioner." How much worse could it get?
"Well, you have some points right. All I understood from the whisper was this.
'Fallen,god, prohibited, destruction, intervention, sealed, mask, key, danger, danger'
I think your version has more details. No wonder you were chosen.
If we take your version and combine it with things I didn't tell you about the Soul Sucking Mask we have a big problem."
Ghel didn't know what to say, how could it get worse? Lala saw it in his eyes through the mask and couldn't help but point at her head.
"It was called Soul Sucking Devil because of the soul that was imprisonend in it. The former Devil Clan Matriarch survived. She was still crazy but without energy. Now tell me, what would be the simplest reason the mask doesn't do this anymore?"
A cold feeling overcame Ghel. "Because it isn't sealed in it.."
Lala nodded gently, it looked weird with her appearance. A old women with kind eyes.
"And if this is true. Whoever, whatever was sealed in it would at least be concsious. We have one way to find this out though. I feel her calling me."
"Calling? Did you get shizophre-"
A cane manifested itself in Lala's hands which hit Ghel on the head.
"Ouch, why do I get hit while you can joke around?!?"
They gazed in each others eyes and began to laugh. They didn't see that the walls were only some hundred meters away with several people already gossiping about them.
"It's the Ice Goddess, don't forget that I could be said to be one of her subordinates now."
"Doesn't explain the cane hit!" Rolling his eyes he gazed forward and saw three armored men walking towards them.
"Lala, you did that with purpose, right?" What else could he say, he knew that from now on untill he lost this mask he would be the pervert. Lala was silent, a silent agree.
Lo and behold the three man all halted several steps before them with hands on their weapons.
"Halt! Name yourself and reason to be here! Also explain this outfit!" The guard in front yelled at the duo. It wasn't yelled in anger, more in confusion.It wasn't rare to see perverts but to meet one so brazen was another level.
Ghel's gear clicked and he had perverted smile on. An arm strerched itself around Lala's bossom. His gaze froze for a moment but carried on.
"This young master can go wherever he pleases! How dare you lowly guards question myself! I heard that Moon City has a nice Inn. I wanted to rest here before I carry on with my wife."
Still with the arm around Lala did his other move towards his groin. "Taking" out a gold coin. He flicked it towards the guard who spoke and walked away with leaving some words behind.
"Go buy yourself some peasant drinks with it, next time remember to call me Young Master Per! The heir to the Papaya Clan!"
The guard who reflexive caught it was thunderstruck. A gold coin? He only got paid 7 silver coins per month! He already forgot about where the coin did come from or about Young Master Per.
"Captain?" One of the guards beside him approached the captain while asking. The captain looked up and towards the duo whonwere walking towards the gates.
"Let them in, go tell the Overseer and the Guildmaster about the duo..tell them that a rich pervert is in the city. Also let someone observe them. Report anything out of line."
The guard bowed and left leaving behind the other guard and his captain.
"Papaya clan?"
Meanwhile did Ghel, still with his arm around Lala, walk through the gates. His walk did show his fight inside him.
"Master, don't you think you can let go of me already?" Lala said this with anger.
Ghel knew why. What transformation? She used illlusions! No way this feeling came from an old butt! Not like he ever feeled one but still, this supplness this softness!
He couldn't help but to squeeze, making a fire burning in him. Families on the street took their children and made haste to get far away. His brother was slowly rising.
A coldness spread through his body which made him finally let go. Making the pants not rip. The next words from Lala hit home.
"To play a pervert and be one are two different things....master."
What could he say? If he could feel this softness with only being called pervert by others he didn't care! He was in the prime of his life.
