Atlantean Home Planet
Gura, Ina, Ame, Poe
" Okay. So, where are we supposed to go?" Gura asked after they have walking in this swampy forest for half an hour by now.
The land is incredibly quiet compared to the normal swamp where fauna and flora are interacting in many ways like how it supposed to.
The trees around them looks withered and old.
Black water underneath their feet is black and reeking of putrid smells. While white smoke that slowly pouring out of some random spot on the ground keep
limiting their visions.
" This is 'Hunter' zone. Which contains wildlife from Hunter's planet ( Example of people from Hunter race are Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio and Shishiro
Botan.)
Some were being transferred to planet earth too and being known by Japanese as Yokai. Most are harmless or not too dangerous by Atlantean standards.
And this swamp is the closest to the great desert where Fae and their trees are located. So, we better cross it in order to take a shortcut from here!"
Poe explained, reading the turtle shell map Tigre has given to her just to be sure.
" I mean, danger or not. This forest giving me a creepy vibe. Not a place to spend the night for sure!" Amelia shook, try not to staring at one tree which have
so many human face growing on its barks.
" Don't worry. This is Kodama. Some sort of trees. They won't harm you unless you tries to cut it down. But those face may crying like a baby after the
sunlight goes down, though." Poe said after she has read more information that Tigre added on the map.
" That's comforting!" Amelia snorted and looking in the sky. Not sure how long the sun will last.
" Whoops! What's that!" Gura asked, flinching when something flying from the nearest bushes behind them. They are the three strangest creatures she ever
met. More like some traditional Japanese umbrella with one big eyeball and mouth on its body. The things then flying away by spinning itself like a drill.
As fast as any bird on human's planet.
" Kasa-obake. Or umbrella demons. As harmless as pigeon. This is a good sign. They will not stick around when there are dangerous Yokai nearby."
Poe keep reading more information from the map.
" Weren't they just trying to fly away? Maybe we are the most dangerous thing in this area!" Ina'nis chuckled.
But the joyful moment last only a seconds before the lower half(which is just one leg.) of the Kasa-obake will falling on the water logged floor in front of
them, still twitching like lizard tail that detached from its body.
" What the-?" Priestess looks up before Poe will quickly yanked her down. Just barely before a sonic boom will rush into the girls' ears as one reptilian
creature with three sails liked wings and big scythe arm is flying passed them, nearly take priestess' head off.
" Don't look! It's Kamaitachi! Ferocious predator of the forest that can moves with supersonic speed by gas propulsion on its back!
It will aimed only those who directly looking at them!"
Poe warned, causing everyone to looks down as the sound of sonic boom could be heard from all over the place.
" How can we fight without seeing? This thing wants our blood for sure!" Gura questioned when something suddenly blasting passed them,
sending the tree branches to falling on their heads in a clear manner of wanting their attention.
" Let me see. We can counterattack when they passed us like how Tigre soldiers did when they found this creature.
Or better than that… just waiting for nature to take its course!" Poe answered.
" Care to elaborate?" Amelia asked, hearing the loud booming sound which indicates that the kamaitachi has returned.
" Like that!" Poe suddenly looks up after feeling the impact of something crashing against the trees, causing everyone to followed her movements and see the
thing that caused the sound.
A Kamaitachi that being thrown into one big trees at full force, shattering barks on its trunk.
The girls turned toward another direction. Where another bizarre creature is slowly landing on the big tree branches.
It is some kind of humanoid being who wearing a long nose red mask. Bird-like wings on its body flapping slowly as it has drawn a sword that ridiculously
similar to the katana out of its belt, showing the cold, shiny blade for the beast to see.
Maybe this Kamaitachi is too hungry. It snarled in frustration before charging at the the newcomer at full speed. Aiming at its face.
The new creature stepped aside before swinging his sword, cutting Kamaitachi head off with a swift movement, ignoring the thing headless body that crashing
into the swamp without slowing down. Sending water to splashing around.
The newcomer then turning to looks at the girls. Ame just noticed that the blue and white color on his body is actually a clothes this creature is wearing.
So they are facing something smart. That's for sure.
" Everyone kneel." Poe said, kneeling on the water logged floor without hesitation and causing everyone to comply with her.
" This is Tengu. A native hunter gatherer tribes of this segment. Closer to civilization that animals. They will patrol the forest once for a while especially if
there are some newcomers in their domains. Be polite and not causing any trouble and this guy should leave us alone." Poe explained when the thing start
sniffing Amelia's head with interests. He probably never seen any human before in his entire life. Unlike Atlantean that has visited this forest for years.
" Guys! Thing just get out of hands!" Amelia hold her screams as the thing's raptor claws like hand start touching her body.
This Tengu seems to wanting to observe the new-faced soft meat creature for a bit more.
" Do you have anything shiny? Tengu always decorated their nests with those things. You might shifted his attention by that."
" Am I being mugged!? Fine!" Amelia groaned after the Tengu seemingly back away from her and start observing Ina'nis squishy hair instead.
Detective then pulling something out of her pocket. A colorful blue-ray disk that sparkling over the dimmed sunlight inside the dense forest.
" MILF AV! (Man, I Love Fauna and Animal Video. Some kind of popular animals documentary.)Flashy enough?" Amelia shoving the disk forward,
gaining the Tengu's attention.
Tengu then looking at Amelia eyes as if to asked. ' Can I take this?' Which detective nodded and pushing her hands forward.
The thing then grabbing the blue-ray disks and inspected it from different angle, clearly loving what he saw.
With a loud shrieks of approval. Tengu then fly away, taking the MILF AV with him.
" I think he like us." Ina'nis sighed, while Gura turning to asked Poe.
" Nice and all. But why did he kill that Kamaitachi without eating, though? Seems wasteful for me."
" He probably wants to inspect us. Which is something he can't if Kamaitachi take us all out. Tengu probably tell it to back off at first.
But as an apex predator of this forest. Challenge against him is the death sentence. Perhaps you could learn from him." Orca girl explained.
" Off with the head is not my style." Gura snorted, before they will continue walking deep into the forest.
…
" Don't move for even an inches!" Poe warned, stopping the girls before they could walking any further.
" What? Everything seems normal here." Amelia questioned, looking over orca girl's shoulder and unable to see anything suspicious.
There is a streams of water running in front of them. And a tree that somehow has its branches tilting downward. The white and red thing that lumping
together on each branches seems to be the cause of it. Maybe it is a fruit tree or something.
" See those white things? They are being called Kapumin. The earliest form of vampire species when they start evolving in our dimension.
The red ribbon on its head is actually ears and the black spot on its body is a wings. Those guys will attack everything within its sight in order to sucking their
blood out. If we stepped within its sensing range. We are toasted!" Poe explained.
Amelia looking closer and finally seeing that the white 'fruits' on that tree branches are actually clusters of white creatures with the size of hunting dogs.
It has black eyes and simple form of wings. Red ribbon liked ears on every Kapumin twitching a little as soon as Amelia is stepping forward.
" Step back. Slowly. We don't want to provoked them." Poe warned. Signaling at the girls to slowly retreat from the spot.
" We have to cross that waterways to reach the desert area. But the whole place seems to being filled with Kapumin's nest. Any suggestions?"
Poe asked after they have reached the safety of thick bushes near the streams at last.
" That water looks deep. Maybe we can just diving across it. Those vampire can't swims, right?" Gura suggested.
Poe shook her head. " You don't want to swimming in that. See the big turtle liked things that resting on the riverbank? Those are Kappa, one of the most
dangerous freshwater Yokai." Orca girl then pointing at the bizarre creature that has frog liked skins.
Plate-like hairs, bird -liked beaks and turtle shells-liked back. The thing yawing lazily before crawling into the waterways with its flipper hands.
Sinking into the dark water and revealing only a plate-liked head to appears above the surface in similar manner with lily pads leaves.
When knowing this. Gura suddenly realized that there are more than many dozens of what she thought a water plants floating in that water.
They will being ganged up for sure when trying to swims in that hot mess.
Poe continues " Like crocodiles. Kappa hunts by ambushing their prey from the water. They loved eating intestines and will use their flipper hands to pulling
it out of prey's anal."
Amelia's butt twitching by instinct. " Jesus. How can Hunter clan survive living with these guys in the first place! Even evolving to the spacefaring era it seem.
I would be too scared to take a sh* t in their world!"
Poe nodded. " That's the reason why Hunter folks become what they are right now. Space hunter who travels around the universe in search of worthy preys.
Living in high competition environment since the beginning of their society probably affects their psychological and beliefs in some ways."
" Good analysis. But what's more important right now is how can we passed those guys toward our destination?" Ina'nis questioned.
" Let me read more about them. There may be information in the guidebook that can help us deal with them." Poe burying her face into the book and leaving
the rest of the girls to observe their surroundings.
" Maybe we could used a bait. Luring those vampire in the water and distract those Kappa while we crossed." Gura comments.
" Using what? You?" Amelia pointing at Gura accusingly at the same time as when Gura suddenly pointed at her too.
" You can stopped time." " And you can swims faster than me!"
" Guys! Stop! You will get their attention with these bickering!" Ina'nis warned after seeing that some Kapumin that hanging on the tress start turning toward
their directions.
" I find possible bait! While feasting on animals blood. Kapumin also enjoyed some kind of fruit called cacao too. Especially when mixing with mammal's milk.
A substance that equivalent of blood!"
" My girl. Even if there happens to be cacao trees growing in the area. There probably no cow, sheep, llama or whatever we can milked them on this planet.
You might as well as not suggested that!" Gura complained.
" Wait, Cacao. Cocoa. Plus milk. Wasn't that is just milk chocolate? Human eat those all the time." Amelia said enthusiastically.
" You may be right. And what? Traveling back to our home and bought some? It will take time."
" Things is. As a time traveler. I carried lots of things in case of sudden need to moves around. One of that includes this!" Amelia then pulling one chocolate
bar from her coat pocket.
" Cool! But how can we know if this human processes chocolate will be suffice to lured those Kapumin?" Ina'nis asked.
" Only way to know." Amelia gulped, slowly tears the plastic that wrapped this chocolate open. Before she will suddenly stopped when Kapumin on the trees
suddenly shrieks. Causing some kappa in the river to looking at them wearily.
" That seems to work." Poe comments, covering the chocolate with her hand to prevent its smell from reaching Kapumin.
" Okay. Now that we got possibly bait. How should we using them? Kappa probably not care about this." Ina'nis asked.
" Throwing it in the water. Kapumin will surely followed. Kappa will not like another predator in their waters. And while they…sorted things out.
We quickly crossed the river." Gura suggested.
" Sound like plan." Amelia nodded, before will crawling as close to the river as she dare and then open the chocolate bar to touching the air, causing every
Kapumin to shrieking and flying out of the tress they have rests on.
Watson then breaking the chocolate in half and throwing it in the left and right side of the river, creating a ripple that attracted Kappa too as Kapumin start
diving downward, trying to search for sinking chocolate before they will being snatched by kappa instead.
The water demon start feasting on luckless vampires as much as they could.
But Kapumin are not so defenseless. Some of them start regrouped and flying straight at the kappa, biting the weakness plate on their head and sucking
blood out of those creatures as a revenge, causing every Kappa to snarled in defiance and swimming in to joins the fights.
Turning the quiet river into a turmoils of battle between two species that trying to rips and tears each other apart, ignoring everything around them.
" It's time! Let's go!" Gura shouts, leading the girls toward the river before they will start swims as fast as they could.
One kappa strikes at Poe from underneath. But orca girl and Gura kicks it down without much efforts while Ina'nis screams after her squishy hair is being
pulled upward by one of the striking Kapumin before Amelia will pulled her Glock 40 triggers and shoots the vampire in the face. Instantly killing it.
Kapumin's falling carcass then being snatched into the water by another kappa that swimming passed them. Ignoring the girls as they are having all out war
between species.
Gura, Poe and Ina'nis already crossed the river. But Amelia suddenly being pulled back to the water when she is almost crossing it.
Detective turns back to see one angry kappa that holding her legs with one hand. While the other is reaching for her butt…
Before the kappa will screams when one big Kapumin sinking its fangs deep into his neck.
The water demon grabbed the young vampire and ready to bites it face off when Amelia salvos her Glock at its chest. Causing the kappa to screams in agony
before it will sinking into the river that filled with blood right now.
" We are even!" Ame nodded at the lucky Kapumin who gets off the dying kappa grips and flying away. Before she will being dragged out of the river bank by
Gura and Ina'nis.
Four girls then sprints forward without saying another words, ready to get out of this hell landscape.
…
After running for ten minutes or so. The girls finally reaching the desert area. The world seems to being turned from dark waterlogged forests into a sand
dunes and hot shining sun within an blink of eyes.
The great trees turning into a shrubs and then small, dry weeds within hundreds of meters range. Before there will be nothing but sands and strangely orange
cactus growing here and there.
" So what? We keep walking forward until seeing some big ass tree?" Gura asked Poe who continues to study her maps.
" I afraid we have to do exactly that!" Orca girl sighed.
…
Yggdrasil Tree : The Great Desert of Atlantean Home Planet
Shylily
The hot sunlight that shine through open gap behind the orca lady continues to burned her naked back as it has done so months ago.
After Moenaomii has left Shylily under Fair Folks 'care' and begin his quest of revenge against his own people.
As soon as shark boy is out of this planet via the gateway that hidden in the shallow sea behind this Yggdrasil tree. (A place that pregnant Shylily beached
herself there ten thousand years ago. Before the Fair Folks will found her shortly after.) The Fair Folks breaks into orca lady room, binding her like swine
before they will bringing Shylily toward this prison.
One of the high room that can be found throughout this massive Yggdrasil tree that Fae and her family used as home for more than millennia.
While looks like dead trees from the outside. The Yggdrasil(Tree of Life.) is actually still alive. Or at least part of it still is.
After the shifts of this planet tilted causing the dense forest Fair Folks used to called home to turned into a desert that is very close to the new emerging sea.
Causing the enormous plant to withered and stop growing by salinity in the soil and lack of fresh water in the area.
Almost every part of this tree has become dry and brown like most of the dead trees that still refuse to falls down since the time Fae brought Shylily here.
But deeper inside the plant. There is some moisture and life left. Enough for the thousands of Fair Folks to continue sticking around.
Worshiped the gods and cursing people or whatever they have in minds at the moment.
The room they locked and bound Shylily with the thorny vines at the spot where hot desert sun will blasting at her whole body is not one of those.
There are almost no accessible water in the room except for a dipper or twos that some fairy will given to her once a day… if they have a mood to do so.
Most of the time. Shylily has to tanks a couple of days without water while the vines keep sucking nutrition from her body.
Waiting for the night when cold weather of the desert will at least ease her pain just a little.
Some time. She wondered how Moenaomii will feel if he knows that Shylily is being tortured by his 'friends' while he is traveling across the Galaxy to
reclaimed his throne and restore her honor.
Something Shylily could not care less about.
Not that she could blame him for not predicting this to happened, of course. Moenaomii are good and somewhat naïve boy who always did what he was told
to do. Some time even without that.
Orca lady smiles sadly when remembering the day when she playing a war game with her child and let her thought slipping out that she missed another girl
in her old society.
The next morning, Moenaomii dressed in girl clothes and said that he can be both girl and boy to make his mother happy. And after that.
No matter how many time she told him to not forced himself just to pleased her. The boy just smiled and said that his mother happiness is also his.
After two years. Shylily finally gives up and treats him like little girl from time to time. She must be lying if she said it wasn't make her happy to be in the
'girl' groups again after a very long time of isolation.
Beside, the Fair Folks seems genuinely generous during the first few thousand years Shylily and her son lives among them.
They plays with baby Moenaomii. Help taking care of him when she is sick. Even brought her and son toward the sea and let them practice swimming and
eating seafood despite the fact that Fae hate sea and meat themselves.
With the relationship like that. Of course Shylily and Moenaomii will fully trust them. After four thousand years. Orca lady starting to believe that they finally
find a new home and family. A replacement of the old one that discarded her like a hot garbage as soon as she has breaking taboo by following her heart.
A thought of Girass somehow leaving a punctures in her chest. Some time late at night. Shylily will stares at the ceiling from her sea water bathtub bed that
(at that time) Fae generously let her brought in their precious Yggdrasil tree city.
Wondering what her lover is doing. Will he recovered from the pain like her? Is he has new wife and children? Did he have any idea that he has son stranding
in this cursed planet? A good child worthy for any Atlantean royal family. Even though he seems to like fairy society more than his original folks.
All of that change one day when Shylily followed him to the temple at the roots level of this skyscraper tree. ' To learned about way of fairy beliefs.'
They said.
But Shylily remains skeptical. She believes in higher order and even praying at some point in her life. But the thought of her son become tree worshiping
hippie is a bit too much.
So, orca lady sneaks after them and peering into the room. Which causing her to see… Moenaomii and bunch of fairy kneeling in front of mud pod make from
tree bark. There is one green fat sapling growing out of the pod. The plant slowly releasing some kind of green smoke, which every fairy seems energetically
inhale into their lungs.
Always trusting someone else. Moenaomii sucking those smoke before Shylily could tell him to stopped. Shark boy start shaking heavily as if he is having a
seizure. So, Shylily rushed in. Pushing the stoned fairies out of the way as she is touching her son's shoulder, ready to dragged him out of the room…
… When she suddenly being teleported to somewhere else. Or rather, her minds was. Orca lady standing right behind Moenaomii. Seeing what he saw.
Some kind of feminine figure that have multiple heads of giraffe, elephant, deer, goat, sheep and bulls.
It sixteen limbs start flexing ceremoniously as the deity eyes are shining, sending the light directly toward her son's brain.
" Remember what they have taken from you!" Another monster said. It is the red rat that bursting out of big black spider chest.
" Restore the balances!" The massive albino serpent said. The snake's voices being muffled by her own tail that being shoved inside her mouth.
" Become better than them." The mechanical owl shrieks. It's human faced being covered in blood.
" Do your jobs. And we shall grants your desire." A Galaxy behind them all blinks, causing Shylily to realize that she is looking at the thing's eye right now.
Shylily quickly grabbed her son, trying to pulled him behind her by purely mother instinct…
And then she is falling on the room floor with all fairies looking at her with hate sinking eyes. Moenaomii slowly gets up so Shylily ignored them and reaching
for him. But shark boy pushing her hand aside. Something he never done before.
Moenaomii turning to look at her and Shylily gasped, seeing green light flickering in the boy eyes before it will disappear as soon as she saw it.
" Mom. You are not supposed to be here. Bring her out!" Moenaomii raised his voice. Something he also never done before.
" What's happened to him? What have you done to my son!" Shylily screams as she is being pulled out of the room by eight fairies.
…
Council POV
" Guys! It's working!" Baelz said energetically, tossing the scary halloween costume aside as the rest of the members also throwing their's away.
Fauna with heavy make up looking at the screen in front of them doubtfully. " We have put our influence in that boy's brain.
But not enough to outright controlling him due to his mother interruption. It will took time before he will finished cleaning planet earth for us."
" Everything took times. Fau Fau. This is your turn to try destroying planet earth without using council's power after all.
Be patient and trust our influence a little." Kronii sighed.
" Yeah. According to my calculations. Nothing in humanity technology could stop that Atlantean bioengineering weapons!" Mumei comments.
Fauna moaned. " Those are not weapons. Mumei. But one of my precious children. I hate using him like a tool."
" Whatever. It's not like all of your children are loving you back right? What is the name of the one who left you to protect those fish people?" Sana snorted.
Fauna touching her golden apple. Feeling the empty space where one seed used to be there.
" Leviathan has followed my order until now. Don't disrespect his loves for me like that!"
…
Back to Present Day
Shylily
Everything has changed after that day. Her son become less and less talkative. He start practicing on his weaponry harder than usual.
Learning new kind of spell she never know existed from the fairies. Before he and his pals will start digging some Atlantean ruins in the nearby Yokai forest.
Finding two red and blue swords Kuroshio and Oyashio. A weapons that make Shylily feeling nauseous just by looking at.
But the Shark boy seems to like his new toy enough to carrying it around and even sleeps with it in bed.
She observed him from distance long enough to understand that the red sword 'Kuroshio' can raising temperatures of the water beyond boiling points while
the blue sword 'Oyashio' can frozen water within a second. Nice toys. But something about them giving Shylily a creepy feeling.
A good weapon like this shouldn't being dumped in the ruins at all. There must be some reason why Atlantean decided to left it there.
Moenaomii still eating dinner with her but never playing or relaxing in front of his mother again. He shot down any attempted to asking about what happened
in that sapling room from her. To the point of them not talking for whole day and even separately sleeping in different room.
Some time when she is awake at night. Shylily could heard her son talking with himself in his room. Having a conversation and gaining information from
someone who is not actually there.
Everything get worse when he start disappearing from his house from time to time to have a meeting with other groups of Atlantean.
Shyliy surprises when hearing that the magic sealed that covering this planet has been destroyed by Gawr Gura.(Was she Girass' offspring?)
The current emperor of Atlantis kingdom. Who according to the fairies trying to invading this planet and their Yggdrasil tree for some unknown reasons.
If it was years ago. Shylily might actually care and wanting to join the fight to protecting her new home. But at this point she couldn't care less.
This is not her house anymore.
Upon hearing that they can leaves this planet now. Shylily begged for Moenaomii to get out of this hell with her.
Shark boy hugging his mother and said that he loves her. Before ordering every fairies to keep their eyes on Shylily in the morning light.
The Fair Folks sort of imprison orca lady in her own room. Still giving food and other delicacies to pleased Moenaomii.
But they are all laughing and sneering at Shylily behind her back now. Especially when Moenaomii is not nearby.
When Moenaomii finally finished his preparations. He visited her in the room. Ignoring her pleading to stay with him after telling her about the upcoming war
on earth and some ancient technology that will saved the whole ocean from evil humanity.
Shyliy never heard about any of that since she failed history class. But she suspected that nothing good came from forgotten technology especially if it is
being made to 'clean up the whole planet'
Moenaomii kissing his mother forehead as a good luck Atlantean tradition. The love she feels from his act giving her some hope.
Before the boy will get up and said that he will not returned until he has win the throne of Atlantis. The fairies having a big party that day.
Shyliy did not surprised when she heard that Atlantean troops that plan to crossed this desert suddenly retreat not long after Moenaomii left this planet.
Maybe this is what Fae wants all along. To get those enemies to focus on something else other than their precious tree.
They were quite polite at Shylily at first. Knowing that she is the best hostage against Moenaomii if he happens to change his minds.
But when she trying to get away from the room after the day Moenaomii left and hurting some Fae in the progress. They turned to outright hostility mode.
Throwing her in sun burning jails and did not giving her water, while controls some plants to sucking her blood out.
Weakening Shylily to the point that she couldn't even stand with her own legs.
A footsteps sound make Shylily snapped back to reality. She trying to glanced at the person who walks toward her under the shade of trees room thingy.
It took a while for orca lady to finally seeing one fairy girl who stands in front of her. She is a blonde hair woman with red eyes and green clothing made of
leaves. A big green ribbon on the girl's head seems to moving on its own as she is stepping toward the small streams of water that running near the darker
side of the room's wall.
A name tag 'Pomu' that bring stitches on the girl's clothes shining by the reflection of light as Shylily is following her movements.
…
Guest Vtuber 3 : Pomu Rainpuff (Debut 16/05/2021 and Graduation at 20/01/2024)
Cute fairy Vtuber from Nijisanji with amazing voices, funny personality and idol-liked performance.
Along with the insane original lore (Search the words 'Pomufication' on Internet if you doubt us.)
Sadly that she is not here with us no longer but wherever she is right now. We hope there are enough cute idol girls and Metal Gear Solid
games and other merchandise to satisfied her love for them!
…
Orca girl has seen this girl before. Her name is not Pomu yesterday and will not in the tomorrow. Since Fair Folks main attacking methods is by knowing their
target real names and then start putting horrible curse on the victim. They have find a way to prevent that kind of fighting among themselves by dropping all
the name and only selected some random names from the tags that hanging on their communal boards after breakfast.
Everyone will become someone else tomorrow and without their real names nobody can cursed them.
Which limited the chances of fairies dying in their infighting to just being stabbed by each other sharp twigs or animal bones.
Some Fae preferred bashing each other skulls with heavy stones if that make you feel any better.
Pomu then smiles sweetly at Shyliy as she start holding a dipper made from coconut shell attached with a stick in hands, taking some water from the streams
and walking toward Shylily who instinctively gulping her remaining saliva. Try to remain some dignity as Pomu is walking close to her with water dipper in
hands.
Fairy girl then reaching her dipper above orca lady's head, tilting the dipper a little to let water pour on the Atlantean open mouth…
Before she will stop in the last second and drinking that water instead. Laughing with mouthful of water as Shylily snapping her jaws in disappointment and
trying to bite her.
Pomu then spitting half drinking water on the hot sand in front of Shylily before she will walk away. Grinning at orca lady poor attempt to licking the water
before it will being evaporated by sunlight.
It seems that Shylily doesn't have enough power to control that small amount of water to even reaching her body after all.
The fairy then dropping the dipper back in the streams of water. Before she will using a knife of some sort that being made from animals bones to scrapping
green mosses that growing on the damp wall near the precious streams.
Pomu slowly licking the mosses from her knife, looking downward at the kneeling Shylily as she is enjoying the meals.
" I will passed that. Not a hard vegan since I was born." Shyliy trying to laughed it off. Causing Pomu to grinned even broader before she will left the room
without any words.
Shylily sighed as the water in front of her being dried out by heat and sunlight. This is her third day without any water or food.
Orca lady wondered how long she will survived if this continues.
…
Outside of the Yggdrasil Tree
Gura, Ame, Ina, Poe
" Whew! The big ass tree is here. Easier than I have though!" Gura whistle when they finally seeing the enormous tree that seemed to growing tall over a
miles.
" Easy? It took us two goddamn hours in the desert until we reached this place!" Amelia coughed, trying to get the sands off her soar throat.
" That was shorter than my time in Sahara desert with Shion. Don't whined too much. Besides. We got some water." Shark girl snorted.
" Our water have running out though. We only have a little can of kerosene Ame smuggled from the rain shaman island earlier." Ina'nis reported.
" When did you do that? Aren't you feel ashamed of yourself? Gura frowned, causing Amelia to start defending herself.
"Because no one in Atlantean have anything to lit the fire! We are fighting the tree worshipping people and the best thing against them is the threat to
burning that whole place down."
" Hold up. She got some merits there. Are you still carry the items Atlantean ministers prepared for us to fight those Fair Folks?"
Poe turning toward Ina'nis as they are crawling behind the big sand dune in order to avoid any attention from the fairies inside the big trees.
Priestess nodded before she will pulling a purple octopus bag that is smaller than Gura's fist before she will untying the sea snake rope that wrapped on the
bag, causing it to open and returned to the original sizes. Which is bigger than Gura's whole body.
" Fair Folks believe that Yggdrasil tree were being given to them by god until the battle between space and mother nature caused this planet to shifted.
Cursing the land with desert and sea that surrounds it. Making the great trees become withered like what you see but not dying yet.
So the fairies will do anything to help the trees survived. If you threaten to burning it all down. They probably let you go in an exchange of not to do so."
" What about their curse? I don't want to die from cancer after all this is over?" Amelia asked.
Poe turning her attention toward the big bag in front of them.
" That's when these newest Atlantean technology coming in handy."
Orca girl then using saleswoman voice as she lifting four purple octopus hoodies from the bag.
" This is Atlantean newest camouflage technology. Tako Doko? hoodie. Hospitality from cuttlefish queen Holf. It should eliminate wearer from the outsider
sense, maybe except for footsteps sound." Poe then wearing one hoodie, disappeared within a thin air in front of them. Has it not been the fact that they are
standing on the hot sand and everyone could seeing her footprints moving around. They probably unable to detect Poe locations right now.
" Wearing this hoods while approaching the tree and we should be fine. And if you were being detected. Remember the two weakness of Far Folks?"
Orca girl questioned.
" Fire and metals. Something Atlantean happened to lack." Gura answered. While Amelia pulling her Glock 40 out with surprises face.
" So they weak again normal bullet? Kinda weak if you asked me."
" If you shoot one of them. Gunshot sound will tell every fairies in the area about your presence. So please restrain from doing that!" Poe warned.
" I got my metal weapon." Gura pulling one Viking era long sword out of the purple bag, unsheathing it for everyone to see the weapon's pattern welding
blade.
" Oof! When did you get this beautiful antique?" Amelia asked, scanning the sword with her magnifying glass.
Gura sighed. " It is still usable. A sword that my friend Eric the Red ( c.950- c. 1003. A Viking dude who reach Greenland during medieval era.) given to me
before we will depart at North America continent thousand of years ago. Never know I will have to used it one day."
" I got a box of matches in ziplock bag too! Let's burning those trees to the ground. Shall we?" Amelia enthusiastically said.
Poe shook her head. "If the fight continues. They will knows that we are from Atlantis for sure. Especially the big name like Gura.
We need to avoid killing those Fae as much as possible in order to not being cursed by them. Which is why Tigre giving us this!"
Orca girl then pulling something that looked like an eel with no jaws and so many gills on its body from the purple bag before swinging it one time to make
the thing straightened itself like a rod.
"This is Hagfish gun. The weapons that being developed by shark lab of the Atlantis. Can be used to restrain the enemy without killing them." Poe then
pointing the living gun at the nearest sand dune before pulling its trigger that is actually the animal's fin.
Sending a blast of sticky slime that covering three meters wide space on the dune with the speed too fast for human eyes to see.
" By using genetic modification slimes from this thing's body. A shot from this is enough to holding sperm whale in its place."
Orca girl then swinging the creatures again, turning it back into soft hagfish that can be wrapped around her waist.
" You can used it as a belt too. Just touching its eyes to reactivating its weapon modes again."
" Cool! May I have it?" Amelia asked, so Poe tossing the hagfish gun toward her without a word, causing detective to whistles.
" Let's having fun with this boys!"
" Okay. Now that we have equipments. What's the plan?" Ina'nis asked.
" I think we should split up. See the sea behind that Yggdrasil tree? It is our best escape route that will lead us to the nearest gateway.
Toward the earth's Tasman sea if I remember correctly. You humans go that ways while observing the surroundings for us Atlantean to sneaking in and
looking for Shylily if she is still here or not."
" That's too far away! I think we will need some Atlantean to leading the team out of the desert area if things went south.
Ina and Ame are not the brightest people in term of directions and traveling." Gura said after she could only see a glimpse of blue ocean at the very far end
of horizon while Ina'nis and Amelia could see nothing but sands.
" Then you should leading your friends out of this! Emperor shouldn't do this kind of thing on her own anyways. Beside, I am orca like Shyliy.
Maybe I can convinced her to come with me." Poe suggested, but Gura shook her head.
" I am Gawr Gura. Another child of her lover Girass. She will be familiar with me more than you. Beside, you are very good at leading all of us here.
Better than I will ever be. I trust you to leading my friends back to safety if anything happens to me."
Poe silently nodded. But Amelia suddenly stepped forward.
" I will go with you. I can stopped time, remember? Nobody gonna catches me especially after wearing that invisible hoodie!"
Amelia said.
" Good point. But why do I need you there? I can search that tree on my own." Gura snorted.
" Are you kidding? There is no way you can search a single woman in that tree city thing on your own. Two pair of eyes are better than one after all."
" She is saying that. What do you think, Ina?" Gura asked priestess who listened to their conversation in silence for a while.
" I want to go with you. But Poe said that she will need me to perform the ritual that can links this gateway to our world's ocean.
Guess I will have to stay far from that tree for now." Ina'nis sighed.
" Don't worry! We will be back in no time!" Amelia said before beating her chest energetically. Before she and Gura will wearing the hoodie that make them
become invisible. Ready to approach the Yggdrasil tree.
