Waking up the next morning at 5:00 AM as every other responsible elf should, Lefiya started her daily routine once again, first she would stretch her body, oftentimes seeming as nimble as a cat person, then she would do her morning stretches and exercises with all of her level 3 body weights on, making sure to seriously work up a sweat, she needs about 1 hour needed to complete her experience routines without fault in it, something she take's very seriously as the Dark Elf Princess can't afford to cut corners on her exercise routine even if injured, even if she has to do them one-handed or legged, only then does she then washes herself while checking her body, making sure there were no "abnormalities" with her body like usual, for Lefiya, her body is a mysterious item in of itself.

some days she's lactating with enough breast milk to fill an entire bucket used for milking cows, sometimes her body becomes stripped like a tiger or spotted like a cheetah with tanned parts similar if she were in the sun due to her mixed blood, and on more weird occasions, Lefiya finds her body grows antlers similar to a deer as well as goat and ram-like horns on her head (these sometimes grow on Lefiya due to regular Dark High Elves having these horns, for Lefiya who has yet to be fully grown, however, they usually fall off after some time passes, likely is they will remain once she reaches level 4 and gets a full grown body), this time is one of Lefiya's lucky days since nothing seems more odd than normal for her, a search like this taking Lefiya about an hour to do properly, half an hour if she rushes without properly checking.

After drying off, she then takes her medication due to her fluctuating hormones and immune system, common for elves who have a Dunamis below level 3, but especially for Lefiya who needs to not only take more specialized and additional medicine both pill and liquid to account for her case specifically but also double the hormone medication than normal elves, especially since Lefiya also gets a period every week due to her bodies special case, so she needs more medication for those days.

And by 8, Lefiya is ready to start her day, in which she is still one of the earliest up since some members, namely their dwarves and Amazon members preferring to sleep in till near noon, particularly their patron goddess, though there were times Loki would try and sneak up on some members and jumped at Lefiya with the intent to grope her, only to be met with an armlock as Lefiya has Loki pinned to the ground begging for Lefiya to let go.

Loki:" OWOWOWOWOW, PLEASE LEFIYA, LET GO, MY ARM, MY ARM"

Lefiya's thought's:" maybe I should break her arm, just to be safe"

then a snapping of bone could be heard with a heinous yell that woke some people up as they all thought the same thing.

woken up members of the Loki familia:" damn it Loki, why do you test Lefiya"

many Familia members woken up by their "Alarm Clock" are now getting ready as today was the day the Dark Elf Queen was coming, all but Lefiya were making too big a deal about it, though she still up on that dress, and had to then spend the day milking herself with some breast pumps.

in front of the guild, the guild head, and a former member of the Zeus Familia, Mero Howlde, a female werewolf who was one of the few remaining level 8's in the world as of now, while Mero at first was reluctant, she took the position on the condition that is the situation call's for it, she can intervene herself, something Ouranos was reluctant to accept, but eventually gave way to, after all, Mero was a valued asset to Oranio as the city's power has drastically decreased, stern, serious, and dedicated to a fault, and she didn't take anything less than the very best someone can offer.

Mero:" please don't be annoying like always"

and then, as the carriage pulled up, the Dark Elf queen herself walked out for all to see, she was about 6'2", tall for High Dark Elf women, her succulent tanned brown skin, her golden yellow eyes shimmered at the light, pointed elf ears about 7 inches long, moderately muscular but still has a curvaceous body that doesn't show a hint of any signs of unnessisary fat, long slender legs that ended at well-formed hips, and an ample chest, likely a F cup from a distance, but likely it's larger due to her clothing making it smaller than it should be, and her silver, wind-blown style hair with side-front bangs was shimmering as wonderfully as the goddess Freya's with her antlers similar to a deer as well as goat and ram-like horns on her head to show she's a Dark Elf, and side by side with her daughter, you could say she namely look's like an older version of Lefiya with a different hair and eye color.

she was wearing her queen's clothing, which was a black royal dress that has the showing's of an elven queen, it was flashy, showy, and drawn attention, though, the queen herself looked uncomfortable in it, showing she doesn't like wearing the dress, shifting her body as she clearly didn't like the dress she was currently wearing, though, nobody dare speak out about it as the Dark Elf Queen took one look at Mero and walked to her with a smile as Mero took a deep breath in hopes that she would behave, upon exiting, the Dark Elf Queen saw Mero and walked towards her, moving past some people who were supposed to act like escorts or decorated people meant to look good as the 2 were now face to face.

Mero:" Vannea, it has been some time-"

Vannea:" MERO, COME HERE YOU"

Vannea then started to hugged Mero tight, lifting her off the ground as Mero had to hold back from hitting her and then decided to just hug her back, after all, Vannea was an old friend and the 2 haven't seen one another since a long time ago.

Vannea:" (joyously) hahahaha Mero, it has been far too long, we should get drink's with one another every now and then"

Mero:" (clears throat)... if I may be permitted to ask a question your maj-"

Vannea:" NO, NO NO, NOT THAT POLITE TO ROYALTY SPEAKING BULL####, not with us, never with us"

Mero:" okay... (exhaling) the hell you here for this time, and it better not be stupid or I'm personally throwing you out"

what was said would have been something that gould get people in trouble with royalty, for not this being Vannea that is, who hates the speaking of politeness more than anything else, especially to someone she knew very well, so she preferred the normal way Mero spoke to her, and got angry any time Mero did speak to her differently.

Vannea:" there it is, that's the Mero I know, okay... I missed my daughter"

Mero:"... of course"

Vannea:" come on, did you think I came here for something serious, you know me better than that, also, what's this for, is there a parade"

Mero:" we do have Monsterphilia coming soon"

Vannea:" oh yeah, I'm definitely staying to see that before I leave"

Mero:" is it wise to just leave like that"

Vannea:" relax, I made sure all the immediate stuff was taken care of as well as making sure I had time for this, I'm not that careless, now, where is she"

Mero:" I don't know where Lefiya is"

then Loki came up and whispered in Mero's ear as Mero then told Vannea where Lefiya was, troubled, but now heading to a place she had to resist turning into rubble, the Loki Familia home.

Vannea:"... not a day goes by I don't think of burning this place to the ground"

Riveria:" hey Loki, is it okay if I trade Familias"

Loki:" NO, your part of the reasons he doesn't since attacking you is technically an act of war with the elves"

Finn:" but me and Gareth can leave, right"

Loki:" IF I'M DYING, I'M DRAGGING YOU GUYS WITH ME"

Vannea:" leave it, now, if I remember correctly"

she would then walk in as she would find her daughter's room, and found Lefiya has just finished Milking herself as she would then jump and hugged Lefiya tightly as she missed her so much.

Lefiya:" MOTHER, PLEASE, I JUST GOT DONE DRAINING MY BREASTMILK, BUT I COULD STILL LEAK IF YOU TRY AND FORCE THE DROP'S OUT (CRUNCH)... nevermind, I'll be broke in half before then"

Loki:" at least her Dexterity, Resistance, and Defence will jump a whole letter... again"

Vannea:" I'm just so happy to see my baby girl again after so long"

Lefiya:" mom, you visited me 9 months ago"

Vannea:" THAT IS STILL TO LONG"

Finn:" can I ask why each step you took put massive cracks in the floor"

but one look from Vannea shut Finn up as he and Gareth left, since those 2 were the only ones who didn't have anything exactly preventing Vannea from killing them, and as Riveria joins Lefiya and Vannea for a stroll, Vannea suddenly ask for Riveria and Lefiya to spar with her in the Arena of Adventures, a special arena where the Dunamis's powers are removed, so it's only a person's skill at play, this is also the best way to limit collateral damage, and then drag's the nearest medic she could find, which so happened to be Bell, and went off, because they had to register, the owners of the stadium at the time, which was the Ganesha Familia due to preparing for Monsterphilia, had set it out with Familia's able to have divine mirrors used to view it since it is going to be a spectacle.

the arena was circular as the people in it were prepared to fight, but only Lefiya, Riveria, and Vannea, they were wearing skintight bodysuits that revealed nothing, but didn't level much for the imagination, it still looked like they had sports bra and compression shorts on, but still, it was a bit much, but this is what they wore all the time in the dungeon, so Bell couldn't disagree that while it seems lewd, that's only because he's interpreting it as such, though, while Riveria wore the same thing as Vannea, Riveria had a padding suit that covered a lot of her body, the reason was simple of why she wore this.

Vannea:" okay let's get this ready, you ready kid"

Bell:" why am I here"

Vannea:" oh, we needed a medic, and you were the only one on hand at the time when I suddenly wanted to spar with Riveria and my daughter, so here we are"

Lefiya:" as impulsive as always"

Vannea:" how badly do you think of mommy"

Vannea suddenly sulked in a depressive state, her knees to her chest as she was drawing circles into the ground with a sad face and tears in her eyes, while she is steeled in many life-threatening situations, but when it comes to her only daughter, who she loved more than anything including her husband, her emotions are as strong as paper dipped in water, so if Lefiya says anything that can hurt her mother's feelings, Vannea is a crying depressed mess.

lefiya:" no mom, I think you're great, I just think you can put more forethought and planning into your actions"

then as soon as she was depressed, hearing the words of her daughter saying she was great revived her into happiness, though, she also ruined it as well.

Vannea:" I MAKE NO PROMISES, I AM AS FREE AS THE WIND"

Lefiya:"... I guess that's as much as she'll give, but I still love my mother"

Bell:" she must really love you to care so much about how you think about her"

Lefiya:" I love my mom to death, but at times she can be a bit much"

Riveria:" just to be clear, no magic, only our hand-to-hand skills"

Vannea:" of course, why, scared you'll do badly without your magic"

Riveria:" no, just for clarification's sake"

(from this point, imagine combat gods, but no anime cloning or weapons used, only hand-to-hand)

then, the fight began, Riveria was a skilled hand-to-hand fighter, charging using a mix of boxing, Pankration, combat Glima, and Judo to try and get the upper hand on Vannea, however, Vannea wasn't just stronger because she was a level 8, she was easily able to counter each and every punch, swing, and low kick with her own as she was able to get a good grab on Riveria's arm and then elbowed Riveria's head knocking Riveria back some steps to regroup, though Vannea then pushed Riveria as she started attacking, while Riveria did well, Vannea was clearly the more skilled warrior, catching Riveria's counter punch and pushing Riveria back.

Vannea:" you have skill, but you're movements, your execution, and your fighting still need plenty of work to actually be good"

this entire fight, Riveria hasn't even gotten one decent hit on Vannea, Vannea, on the other hand, has given Riveria more than a dozen good hits, and it was clear why Riveria was wearing padding and Vannea wasn't, because Riveria needed them to last in this fight.

Vannea:" one of the things that made the Zeus and Hera Familia strong was the fact we got stronger outside of our Dunamis, we practices skill, we trained and learned whatever we could to help us, without relying solely on our Dunamis, the major flaw in many adventures"

Riveria knew this well, and Riveria was able to throw a punch again, only to be elbowed in the ribs as there was a loud CRUNCH sound as Riveria felt every rib in her chest break, spitting up blood and taking breaths that sounded as if she was desperate for air, now on the ground trying to regain herself.

authors notes

for those wondering, yes, Lefiya has to check her body for anything abnormal, including sudden rashes, numb parts of her body or muscles, sudden hair growth, and more, Lefiya's body in it's current state is a mess of things, but don't worry, once she eaches level 4, those will end for the most part

that's right, I'm bringing Mero Howlde back with a vengeance since I canceled that story series with the black lightning hero, I figure I could use some of my old characters from before, hope you like the reference if you've read my other stories form when I first started

for those wondering, yes, it's combat god level fighting skill in some cases in Danmachi, you're welcome in advance for the mental image of the fights intensity
