-Hephaestus-
Another failure after a whole week of work. Maybe I just need to take some time off? I'm going crazy trying to make a stable magic weapon without using my arcanum. Getting some fresh air will definitely help calm me down some. The sun only has a few hours left of light it seems.
" I'm telling you Moss. This is the best place to get crafting books around. After getting Ranni's books we- Oh, let us get out of your way Goddess." Just a glance tells me that their equipment is a terrible mix of the highest quality with lots of mistakes made. Thankfully these children don't make too much of a fuss as I drag them inside.
-Ranni-
Hohohoho, seeing Loki's eyes go wide was worth nearly getting stepped on so many times. I'm definitely glad I made her mini petting a horse. Maybe the story's from my home about Loki are somewhat true here?
I don't really have any dirt on Ganesha so I just made his mini flexing on top of an elephant. It's too bad he's a extremely busy man. Apollo's mini is definitely just to fuck with him. Being gender swapped would be an insult to most men. After all it only has a more feminine face and breast as big as the sun! Well not really... It's definitely an improvement though.
For Ouranos's I just had him standing arms wide almost like he's trying to hug someone with a small smile. His look of curiosity as I gave it to him was definitely worth it. Soma's was pretty fun to make. It's funny imagining him with a wine bottle in one hand dancing on a wine barrel. Smiling at the party even in the nude.
Freya will have to be the last for today. For hers I used Satsuki Kiryuin's active Junketsu for the outfit. Topped with her face in a dazzling frown she definitely cuts a wonderful figure. I'm... almost not willing to part with it. It's a good thing I have enough metal to work with from the fake dungeon. Should I be using the hardest metal for fun? What am I thinking about, there's just too much of it down there.
You know what, there's enough sunlight to sneak into Hephaestus home. Sneaking inside is a simple affair. As I reach closer to the goddess I start to feel something familiar. " - matter. Your Goddess needs to learn how to craft properly! This work physical hurts to look at! If it wasn't for-" As I set down her mini, I drop the illusion hiding me from sight.
" I hope my children didn't cause you any distress. Here, as a token of friendship please except this." It's definitely a good thing that I didn't make her mini nude. Maybe having her just wearing a bra and pants is a little too much? Having her smile working on a sword does look truly divine. Her mouth opens and closes as she tries to think.
" What? How... Just why! Why would you choose to live like that?" I... how do I react to that concerned face? " Sadly this form is one I can't currently change with my rationed power. Say... how about a trade? I'll take that curse front your eye. In exchange, please lend me your help with a few things."
She steps closer and starts to look closer at my tiny form. I'd blush if I could as she lifts my dress upward. " I'll withhold the days of lecturing I desperately want to yell at you. For Now... This body you made is just... painful to think about. Even for a God this would be a cruel fate. Your soul is crying in agony. I... don't even know how you're not... Your not leaving here without a new body. My eye can wait." My hand doesn't have the strength to move hers but she does move my dress back down at my pressing.
My children are given the books and ushered out of the workshop. When the sounds of their footsteps are gone, she leans down to look at me. " Now that the young ones are gone, just what are you?" Putting my two right hands on my hip, I point my main right hand at her. " I am Ranni, the goddess of magical moonlight. For your question, it's rather hard to say. I'm... a mortal given godhood. I've been sent here to save this world. I'd guess that'd make me your cousin?"
She takes a deep breath before stepping back. Her face slowly settles into a frown as she thinks harder." That's enough for now. I can't stand seeing you like this any longer." My hand waves out in a lazy arc. " Any pain from being like this has been long forgotten. Let us not rush forward now on my behalf." Her frown only grows at my words.
" Each God makes their body personally. We'll need to ask permission from Ouranos to... did you just open a portal?!" " Yo Ouranos, could you help block off other Gods sight from this room? With Hephaestus's help I can finally get a body and work on making some of the last steps we planned out." He only lets out a sign as I can feel him give me some mana. I give him a happy smile and nod as I close the portal.
What would've taken my months to make is only a small drip to his ocean of power. I'm a little miffed that he won't share more with me, but he does need all the strength he can. Closing up the room is a simple matter with this much power. " That's... whatever. Let's get started making you a proper body.
