Chapter Two: Alvida and the beautiful village

The sun shone down brightly upon the jungle village. The villagers were going about their daily chores of gathering fruit, working the gardens, and gathering water when, all of the sudden, people began to stop in their tracks. A chorus of "oohs" and "ahhs" escaped from their mouths at the sight that was before them.

There she stood before them. Taller than any of the men, larger the three of them standing shoulder to shoulder. Her arms were pillars of muscle, and her face was almost as large as a watermelon. She wore a large blue jacket over a pink shirt with a red plaid pattern, and boots that looked like they could crush a skull beneath them without even disturbing the woman who wore them from her walking. A white hat with a large red plume topped her head, which was currently displaying a humongous grin.

The villagers continued to gasped and stare over this beauty that was before them. One male, who had been just recently tilling the fields, ran up to her, grasped her hand, and fell to his knees. "Bijin-sama, it is an honor that you should grace us with your presence."

"Hey, wait until she meets the chief before you say such things." said the leader of the men who had found her.

"Yes, of course, I shall fetch him right away." said the man from the field, who immediately ran away to fetch the chief of the village. In the mean time, Alvida took a moment to observe her new surroundings. The village was in the middle of a gorgeous grotto in the depths of the jungle. Beautiful birds in all the colors of the rainbow sang their bright melodies from the canopy. A spring to her right formed into a small shimmering pond, where the spraying waters looked as if they could be made of living crystal.

The sunlight hit the leaves of the trees at the most perfect of angles, causing them to shimmer as if the trees themselves were laughing in sheer delight at how lucky they were to be in this part of the jungle. Everything was beautiful in itself, but all of this beauty was amplified by the beauty of the people who lived here.

Each of them possessed gorgeous features, as if the heavens had sculpted each one of these people to be images of perfection. The males ranged in beauty from the wild haired man who had led her here, with his perfectly muscled body, to a beautiful bishonin who had been picking fruit from a nearby tree before she had arrived.

The women came in an even wider variety of beauties, from the tall and perfectly toned women who looked like they could face off with the toughest of warriors and still look as if the grace and power of a cheetah had taken a life of its own within them, to slight girlish females who barely looked old enough to be called women, to those who possessed the ideal hourglass figures that almost every woman in the East blue would kill for. Alvida wondered for just a second if her self-proclaimed title of most beautiful woman in all the seas was deserved before shrugging it off with an inward 'duh'.

Even the children looked like tiny images of perfection. Alvida continued to look around until she saw what was approaching her. Long, silky brown hair, perfectly chiseled abs, every muscle a sculpted image of perfection, with an beautiful face that would make any man not on this island weep with pure envy. Every part of him screamed with physical perfection. Alvida had never seen such a person in her entire life. Then again, she had never seen anything like this island in her entire life either.

The man from the fields came around in front of the gorgeous man and raised his hand to the air. "Now presenting, the chief of Bihoshi village, Chief Haryuu!" There was a chorus of cheers from the surrounding villagers that echoed grandiosely through the surrounding jungle.

"My, in my wildest dreams I could not have envisioned a creature as beautiful as yourself." said chief Haryuu as he kneeled to grasp Alvida's hand. "I welcome you to our humble village. Please, let us show you all the hospitality we can muster." He then stood up and clapped his hands twice. "Villagers! Prepare a banquet in honor of our gorgeous guest!"

Alvida paused for a moment to take in all that had happened since she arrived on this island. She had been called greatest image of beauty ever known, taken away by a slightly clothed group of the handsomest men ever seen to a village of equally handsome people, and now a banquet was being prepared in her honor. 'Hehe, a girl could get used to this type of treatment.' thought Alvida as the preparations began.
