Chapter 132- Negotiations?

[Keeno POV]

I was literally shaken awake by Freya just when I felt I actually started sleeping.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

“What?” (Keeno)

“I get you aren’t in the best of moods, but that’s no reason to talk to me that way. We have a situation that needs your attention.” (Freya)

“Sorry, Freya, I’m never good when I just wake up. I didn’t mean to offend you.” (Keeno)

“It’s fine, I get it.” (Freya)

After shaking the slight lingering feeling of sleep from my mind I noticed Freya was also quite annoyed.

“I couldn’t have been asleep that long. Is this situation that dire that you’re this annoyed by it?” (Keeno)

“I am annoyed, but more about what was happening before the situation started and getting interrupted.” (Freya)

“Ah.” (Keeno)

I got up and walked over to where Pram and a strange undead bird were sitting. Huginn and Muninn who had at some point left my tails flapped up to my shoulders and perched on them. As I sat down next to Pram and looked at the bird, I saw the pale purple flames in its eyes.

“So, you’re the one that’s been watching us?” (Keeno)

The bird nodded before a skeletal human hand started to write on some paper that was laying on the ground in front of the bird.

‘It’s nice to meet you, Miss Okami. My name is Eblana. Before anything else is said, I would like to apologize for my rash decision in regards to watching you, both now and in the past. I was ignorant of just who and what you are. I understand that this may see insincere as it’s through writing, but its the best method I have to communicate with you outside of meeting in person, which is dangerous for you.’ (Eblana)

“Hmm. I’ll accept your apology so we can move this along, but how did you learn about who and what I am? As far as I’m aware, information about me shouldn’t have spread yet. Both due to Vanir’s own internal strife and Falheim’s...Falheim...ness.” (Keeno)

The bird sat there for a moment, seemingly shivering, before the hand started moving again. It seemed like it would be a long letter, and the several blotches of ink that started spreading as the hand shook and uneven ground didn’t help with legibility.

“*Sigh*Hang on, let me try something.” (Keeno)

I reached out toward the bird with some of my mana and tried to wrest partial control over it from our tentative guest. At first there was some resistance and then my mana started to consume Eblana’s. I lessened the flow to allow Eblana to meet me halfway. After a few minutes we reached an equilibrium and the light in one of the bird’s eyes turned blue like my flames.

“Try talking.” (Keeno)

“What precise control...wait, can you hear me?” (Eblana)

“That was the point of doing that. By sharing control of this undead, we can communicate through our mana. I just need to keep in mind to NOT kick you out or overload the medium.” (Keeno)

“I’ll give you the rundown.” (Keeno)

For the next while I gave Eblana’s half of the conversation some thought as I explained it to the others. After that we discussed if she was truly trustworthy and just how far we should be willing to follow what information, however little it was, she gave us.

Chaos Realm:

Amaterasu: Thank you again for the room. I didn’t realize healing a goddess from a different world from my own would have such a mental strain. I’m honestly surprised Luna didn’t also pass out after a while.

Different worlds, different rules. You may both be of equal strength, but she has a lot of items and other things that support her that your own world doesn’t have due to their nature or other things you don’t really need to know about. But you did make a fast recovery. If it wasn’t for me and Order stepping in, you’d still be out cold for a while yet.

Order: And it’s the least we could do since you were forcefully summoned here by us. Now, go back and put Keeno’s mind at ease.

Amaterasu: You don’t need to tell me twice.

*A portal opens next to Payto and Order*

Alex: Ah. Good timing. Here is that gift Miss Fiametta commissioned from me. *Hands over a neatly folded bundle in a light box made of incomprehensibly smooth material*

Amaterasu: Thank you. Keeno is going to love it.

Alex: I wish her the best. Payto, I’ve also delivered that other commission. If I don’t see them any time soon, let me know what they thought about it.

Got it.

Amaterasu: Is this another thing I’m not supposed to know about?

Nah. I won’t say it outright, but you really should take Keeno out dancing on your next date. Isn’t there something going on around the next Solar Convergence just perfect for that?

Amaterasu: AH! That’s perfect! I mean, she knows how to dance, but never has the chance to, so I might as well...Anyway, thank you again.

Alex: It was no issue. If you ever need anything made, feel free to ask me...as long as Payto allows it.

Just don’t do something to alter the very fabric of existence or make layers leak into others, and I can turn a blind eye every so often...but don’t make it a habit.

Alex: Heard loud and clear, boss.

Amaterasu: I’ll stick to things from my own world unless it’s absolutely necessary, like in this case.

Good. Now, off you go, Amaterasu.

Amaterasu: See you all again later.
