New Fantasy World: Galeia-Chapter 31

I continued eating my food in silence, thinking about the world, E’er, Elf thighs and Luzo breasts.

Alyssa and Lapia left me to my thoughts and caught up with each other.

Once we finished, I helped take the dishes to the kitchen and put them in the sink. Lapia rejected my offer to help clean the dishes, my strength too high to risk breaking the china.

"How much is known about Halves?" I asked, returning to my seat next to Alyssa.

"Not much beyond the surface." Alyssa took my hand, playing with my fingers. "Nobody has seen a Halve being born. It’s not known if you are even born in the first place." she traced my fingerprints with her claws. "You all ’wake up’ in gathering spots. It’s known you are not born of flesh, however. The Laws of Life inside you are different."

"Would that complicate things?" I looked at her. "With your healing, I mean."

"Not at all. I’m thinking of a few ways to familiarize myself with you." she blushed.

"It’s sex." the Elf said from the kitchen, laughing after seeing Alyssa’s deep purple face.

"It is." she admitted, her eyes looking down. "It’s the fastest way. Affectionate intimacy is extremely useful."

"I’m all for it." I smirked at the woman. "You’re pretty horny yourself."

Alyssa covered her face with a hand while groaning. Lapia’s laughter turned into wheezing accompanied by claps.

"That was pretty good." the Elf said, giggling and sitting on the table, giving me a high five.

"That joke is so old." she shook her head, but she was smiling. "Anyway, Halves are known to not share much about themselves."

"Well, you have one right in front of you." I looked at both of them. "Anything you want to know? Don’t mind taboos or silly things like that."

They both shared a look. Lapia nodded and turned to me.

"Do you have memories of a time before life?" she asked, they both stared at me.

"That sounds deep." I said, nodding. "There was a ’trial’ of sorts." I said the first thing that came to mind, not even my life on Earth popped.

"So it’s true." Alyssa nodded. "What’s it about? Where was it? What happened?" she asked in quick succession.

"Hell. Survive." I simply said, shrugging. Their eyes opened wide. "Last night I had a dream, recalling memories of that time. It was brutal." I sighed. "Apparently, I spent enough time there to learn the languages of Hell. I don’t recall much. It says time or interacting with trophies will bring the memories back." I noticed their interested eyes. "Which I won’t do in the middle of a city. Whip out things taken from hell? What if everyone in Riverfield dies, gets possessed, or some eldritch bullshit happens?" I shook my head. "Couldn’t be me."

"You... survived Hell?" Alyssa said in a quiet voice. "That’s..."

She stopped, not finding words.

"Fucking badass!" Lapia finished. Alyssa nodded. "You go, girl." she chuckled, patting my shoulder. "So how come you had that reaction with the bandits?"

"I had no memories of Hell back then." I shrugged. "Anything else?"

"What does it exactly say?" the Luzo asked. Lapia showed a complicated expression at her words.

"Let me check." I searched for the Hellwalker title and read it out loud. Then, I nodded. "Word for word."

Alyssa nodded and Lapia shook her head, sighing with her eyes closed.

"Pretty in line with Title acquisition." the Luzo thought for a second. "So we have Lapia Pofeta, Flame of the East. Lightbringer Alyssa Pruvik. And Natasha Novak the Hellwalker." she giggled. "Those are some great titles."

Lapia relaxed and smiled.

"How did you get yours?" I asked them.

"Healed many people in dungeons." Alyssa explained.

"Mastered Pyromancy and used it a lot on my way here." Lapia supplied.

"Cool." I leaned back on the chair and relaxed. "How many Halves are there? You mentioned having met one before. Are there enough to form a nation?" I asked.

I hadn’t seen any of my kind. And if we’re all as powerful as I am, I’d assume there’d be very few.

"There are five accounted Halves." Lapia answered. "Perculis passed away of old age a few hundred years ago."

"That’s way less than I thought. You made it sound as if we were in the thousands..." I sighed.

"Those are the ones who have come into civilization. No one knows how many actually are there." Alyssa said. "Yulianna, Miraztor, Nilenna, and Desseyr. Now you, Natasha."

"Are we all gold like me?" I stared at my legs, the muscled limb emitting a soft golden hue.

"You come in two colors. You, Yulianna, and Miraztor are gold. Nilenna, Desseyr, and the late Perculis, silver." Lapia supplied. "I met Desseyr. He was a student of mine back home. He’s... a complicated man." she chuckled.

"So there could be thousands out there in the wilds?" I asked.

"It’s hard to tell. We only know of your existence when you show up near settlements, or meet people while roaming around." Alyssa said, resting her elbows on the table. "Perculis was first sighted chasing a Giant near the mines of Tolona seven thousand years ago. Not many people died, thanks to his efforts."

"The priestess... Clara was her name?" Alyssa nodded. "She said Yulianna and Perculis researched fertility or something."

"She was his assistant for a few centuries." the Elf said. "Nothing came out of their union, however. After his death she set out to Makah, a continent to the west. No one has heard of her ever since."

The plot thickens. I chuckled.

"What would happen if I have a child with you?" I asked, both blushed hard.

"A-about that. I would give birth to a demi. A Luzo with Halven might." Alyssa responded. "You would influence their affinity with E’er. It would not be as high as yours, however."

"Same here." Lapia cleared her throat. "An Elf with Halven might."

"Would they be gold as I am, or take after you?" my face heated up.

"We can’t guess about that. My ch... child could have golden scales, or dark like mine. There aren’t enough Halve offspring to reach a concrete answer." Alyssa fidgeted.

This is embarassing. I looked at my hands.

"Let’s change subjects. I don’t even know when my cycle will come." I scratched my ear.

Taking out a mint chewing gum from my storage, I put it in my mouth and went at it.

"What’s that?" the Elf perked up at the refreshing smell.

"Chewing gum. I don’t have a toothbrush, so I chew on these to clean my teeth." I had done so before, but the last three days were hectic enough to make me forget.

"You can use E’er to do that." Lapia pointed out from her seat across the table. "And your saliva is ’strong’ enough to dissolve whatever is left." she smiled widely, showing her sharp teeth. "Kissing you is very healthy, I discovered." a light blush covered her face.

The more you know. I nodded, a grin forming.

"Why am I not surprised." I said in monotone. I had certainly noticed my teeth to be surprisingly clean, but chalked it up to the food of this world being incredibly healthy. "E’er is pretty useful. Makes me want to be a wizard, even if a little." I chuckled.

"I noticed that too." Alyssa said, licking her fangs with her blue tongue. "My mouth is pretty clean." she looked away, blushing. "Also... you taste pretty good." she said in a quiet voice.

"I do?" I leaned forward.

"You do." Lapia nodded. "Let me refresh my memory."

Smirking, she stood up and walked over to me.

She took my chin and kissed me, her tongue invading my mouth and wrapping with my own. She parted after a few seconds and licked her lips. "Mhm. Mint. That chewing thing is masking your taste." she pouted cutely. She tasted of chicken and vegetables.

"Then I better get rid of it." I put it in the wrapping and stored it. "How about now?" I turned to Alyssa and gently pulled her closer, connecting our lips.

Her long tongue didn’t waste an instant and entered, licking my palate and teeth, which made me moan a little.

"Mint." she licked my lips. "I prefer your natural taste." Her red eyes were half closed.

She too, tasted like the food we just ate.

I cleared my throat. My cheeks felt like they were on fire.

"I bought a Ratnak." I told Lapia the first thing that came to mind.

She gave me a knowing smile. "A good beast." she nodded and turned to Alyssa. "You mentioned something happened?"

"Ah, right!" she said and burst into a series of giggles.

I felt the cold hand of regret grip my soul.

"Earlier... pff!" she couldn’t even form sentences. "When you sent a message through the bond, Natasha panicked and thought she was under mental attacks. Hahahahaha!"

She was clapping and gasping.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!" Lapia erupted in her own laughter.

Resting on my shoulders and bending over, her laughter was as loud as the Luzo’s. I sat there, embarrassed. Shaking my head in silence.

"What did she do?" Lapia asked in a really high pitched voice, fighting the laughter.

"She... KAHAHAHAHA." Alyssa choked and continued laughing.

Finish your sentences at the very least! I shouted in my mind. I covered my face with both hands, my face burning like never before.

"She took her spear out... HAHAHAHA." she grabbed her sides, her jaw opened to its limits.

"And then?" Lapia wiped a tear, her voice shaky with joy.

"And then." she breathed in, calming herself. "And then asked." she took another breath. Lapia was waiting, her laugh escaping. Probably imagining what came next. "She asked ’Alyssa is there a class that can fuck with my mind?’."

Both exploded in laughter, Lapia crouched on the ground and Alyssa sprawled on the table, slapping the wood.

Though her impersonation was pretty good, the laughter ruined the tension I was supposed to be in. Six out of ten. I thought.

Their laughter was contagious, though. I soon found myself laughing alongside them.

"Alright, alright." I said after ten minutes of us laughing. "You’ll faint if you don’t calm down." I went to the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the counter and two glasses.

I poured them a glass each and set them on the table. They didn’t reach for the drinks, however. They both hugged me while trying to calm down, and showered my face with kisses.

"Ugh!" I tried to cover myself, but they took my hands and brought them around their waists. "Noo." I whimpered in embarrassment at their affection.

"So cute." Lapia said between kisses.

"Adorable." Alyssa whispered in my ear.

My face was about to melt with how hot it felt. I was absolutely convinced that it showed even through my golden skin. I had the power to free myself, but it would be a lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it.

They both stopped what they were doing at the same time and took my face, lifting my head.

"Are you blushing, sunshine?" Lapia was surprised, her eyes wide open.

I pulled them into a hug and hid my face in their hair. My weak nod made them giggle. I took a deep breath to calm myself, the smell of lavender and lemons relaxing me slightly. I felt their hands on my hair, caressing my head.

"It’s hard to notice." Alyssa’s deep voice was still shaky from the previous scene.

"It is." Lapia chuckled. "I can’t imagine how she felt for it to show through."

"Like dying." I whined.

They giggled and tightened the embrace. The Luzo’s breasts were pressing against mine. I managed to calm down after a few moments.

"Alright." I separated. "There’s a few things I need to check with you two." I released the hug and walked over to the living room, gesturing for them to follow. As they did, I pointed at a large sofa. "Sit." I said in my most convincing serious voice I could manage.
