There may be some mistakes, as i decided against proof reading for the second time as i just wants the story out of my head and rest for now.
Pestonya's dream
Pestonya woke up, it was very unusual for her to wake up in the middle of her sleep hours, as it never happened before.
'She was running as fast as she could, it was cold, dark, and windy. With every step she took, she felt fire burning all over her body as the rain drops touched her, even the air seemed poisonous with each breath she was losing her consciousness, but for some reason she felt determined, as if she would miss something important to her'. What was it, she felt sad for some reason, as she remembered herself to be in another plane of existence and running for some reason.' what was it, thinking quietly she remembered her creator and other supreme being talking.
"I had a weird dream today. I was in my apartment, and my dog showed up eating all my cakes" Ankoro said with a sad voice, with those words everyone started laughing and making jokes around her about her dog.
"You worry too much about your fat dog's health", Lucifer added with that again everyone started to laugh.
"Touchme was chasing after, and i was running for my life" Ulbert added without humour, creating a little bit awkward situation. As everyone knows Ulbert was into narcotics.
"anything can happen in a dream, it ain't real. So don't get too tense up!, Ankoro" Ulbert added with a smile. Remembering those words said by the supreme being and relating it with her current situation Pestonya deduced that what she Just happened to experience was a dream that her creator was talking about.
'it's in your head, no need to get tensed up, and it isn't real' with those thoughts Pestonya claimed a bit.
Never in her existence she had a dream, not even once, not even about her creator Ankoro Mochi Mochi, even if she thinks more about her than others and for some reason this so called dream felt very real, she couldn't recall the exact event of the dream but the gloomy feeling still remains fresh to her mind.
She wasn't sure about other npc whether they had dreams or not. But she was sure that other npc likes to think about their creators or about their services to Lord Ainz before closing eyes.
She then proceeded to check the timer to see an hour had passed. To her shock. She immediately got up from the bed, started cleaning and making her bed in a hurry. And went to the cafeteria to see all of the regular 41 maids were having breakfast.
'I guess I'll have to skip breakfast today, I am late today huh that dream, what was that again, weird,' as she equipped her ring of sustenance.
"Good morning, woof," Pestonya scanned the cafeteria, from one corner to the other corner, but couldn't find Foire, 'huh, i guess she had already left to serve Ainz-Sama, as it was Foire's turn to serve Ainz today, but am I sick?' Pestonya thought to herself, it may be possible, with that she cast her most powerful healing spell on herself [touch of god] a 10tier single target healing spell with no special effects. Only to find that nothing had changed. With that Pestonya left, without uttering a single word.
If it was regular maids from the Sorcerer Kingdom, It may look like a normal greeting from a senior to their junior. But for the 41 maids, it wasn't normal at all, it was common knowledge for the 41 maids that Pestonya sleeps for 2 hrs everyday, she was created that way by a supreme being, but today she felt different, her time was off by an hour, Pestonya should have been present here early before breakfast starts, and as her duty required her to guide the maids with the necessary information for the day's shift and to check if everything is ok, but today Foire left for her shift without taking any guidance or anything as Pestonya was absent, and her mood was off generally she would have greeted everyone and have her morning tea and a cake. That was noticeable to all the 41 maids. And as such, gossip among them began.
"Do you think Pestonya-Sama is sick?" One of the maid said
"But she is a high priest" followed by another
"Did Ainz-sama give her some special work? " added another one of them.
"No, if it was, then we would have been informed " followed by another reply.
"Something may be wrong with her, should we inform Yuri-sama?"
"I guess she should be informed as she is our deputy leader."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"What about Ainz-sama, shouldn't we inform him first?"
"No."
"We can't disturb Ainz-sama with such a minimal task."
"Yes"
"If Yuri-sama finds that it is worth informing Ainz-sama, then Yuri-sama will inform Ainz-sama."
"What about Sebas-sama?"
"No, he is a man, and man shouldn't get involved with a ladies matter"
"True"
"So informing, Yuri-sama is the right choice"
"Yes"
.
.
.
"I saw Pestonya-sama's room was still closed when I came back after the night shift. "
"Really?"
"If something has happened to her, our senior should know"
.
.
.
With that gossip continued from "Pestonya to Ainz-sama night shift as everyone was very much engaged and excited to know every detail about Ainz-sama's night and how he sleeps, any new bed sheet Ainz-sama used today, his new dress and any new information they might get their hands on, and all", gossip among the 41 maids of Nazarick.
Walking down the hall of the 9th floor, thinking about her task today and making a list of her work today, she decided that it was better to start from E-Rantel as she had to check Tuare with her performance. With that thought she went ahead to the teleportation section and messaged "Aureole Omega". With that Pestonya teleported.
Pestonya found herself at her chamber in E-Rantal, only to see another maid newly recruited from E-Rantel, standing there with slight shock in her face, after a few seconds she lighty bowed to her, and the maid introduced herself.
"Good morning, Pestonya-sama, I am Alice. I'll be your maid for today." Pestonya didn't reply as she wasn't in the mood today, she felt slightly annoyed to the human name Alice standing behind her, but she can't say anything, as it was her idea, so to prepare them for guests at the teleportation gate or in case some day they served Ainz-sama.
Saying nothing, she started walking towards the grand hall where all the newly recruited maids were being trained. 'What was the dream…. Ah!' thinking about it,
It felt strange. Remembering how strange it was and how helpless she felt, once she was running, for some reason she wasn't able to breath properly as the air around her was un breathable. And then the sky got darker and started raining, she felt pain.
The other time she was in a room dark, dirty, cracks here and there, no lights and everything was messy. In the mid of all of these, there was cake in front of her brown in colour, dried as if it wasn't a cake at all more like a dry wood, but she felt happy seeing it for some reason, the cake was labelled as "wanko" in the writing of supreme being and there was someone with her, but for some unknown reason she couldn't see the face, he said something but what was it, she couldn't remember, trying very hard to remember what was said to her, she felt someone was calling for her. Upon realising that it was Tuare who disturbed her concentration she felt annoyed for some reason and made a growling sound.
Frightening everyone around her, Tuare backed up the farthest as she knows, that even though Pestonya was very kind to everyone and never acts arrogant or supremacist like the other Pleiades, but she knows she ripped her apart with bare hand, according to her knowledge non in the entire Sorcerer Kingdom other than servant of Ainz-Sama no one could stop Pestonya if ever she decided to kill everyone, with that knowledge in mind Tuare was more frightened than everyone present here, as she knows the truth, a truth or a secret, she never dared to speak to anyone even in her deathbed.
Upon seeing Tuare, and everyone frightened.
"I am sorry,-woof, I was bit out of my mind woof" with those words Pestonya casts a spell. [Angel's feather] with that a yellow light cast around everyone present in the room, following relief, healing and other high level additional buffs.
As for the maids that were watching, it felt as if they were present in front of some god. Just a few moments ago everyone felt the cold wave passed through them, chilling them to the bones, some even pissed themselves out of fear. But after the spell was cast, a bright yellow colour circle appeared above them and in a flash of a second they forgot all of their stress, pain and everything was gone just like that. Then even felt like they could take on captain warriors in combat even if they can't but they felt enough strength rushing through their blood such was the miracle performed.
"Please clean yourself and start with your daily routine" Tuare ordered everyone, bringing them back to reality.
Back in Nazarick, Albedo recieved a notification about 41 maid's concern for Pestonya, send to her by Yuri Alpha.
