Talking

"So you have a Goddesses soul inside you?" Liz asks for the third time.

"Yes Liz." I answer sighing.

"You wanna get married?" She asks smiling and grabbing my arm.

"I think I'll pass, Elizabeth." I say causing her back to straighten and let go of my arm.

"So Eric." Sugano says trying to gloss over what Liz said. "Is there anything else you feel like telling us?"

"No, I mean there is more but I'm not ready to talk about it."

"Oh come on! How much more shocking could it be after finding out about Gods." Liz says trying to aggravate me. I laugh again and smile while answering her.

"Oh, much more shocking. Trust me Liz. Or actually, trust my mana when I say you'd probably regret that marriage joke after learning what else I got." She looks at my mana and looks confused and a bit worried before replying.

"You sir, clearly underestimate the will of a woman in love." I laugh again Hino talks for the first time since she entered the room.

"So Eric, is there anything else you want to say or ask?" I shake my head no.

"Okay, Eric you can leave now. No offense, we just need to talk about this. Learning Gaia's alive and has a new Champion is going to throw the Lyna world into disarray. So we need to discuss if we should keep this a secret or not." Kagiyama says.

"Okay, and don't worry I understand. Why'd you think I didn't want to tell you." I say smiling and standing up. I tell them all bye and leave. Once I'm outside I enter my Domain. Then I remember that Hino wanted to meet up. I text her asking where and when if she still wanted to and stepped up to my Domain Pillar. I pull out my Earth Essence when Asami and Luna walk inside.

"Eric!" Luna says running to me and jumping. I catch her and hug her. I feel Asami hug me too and wrap my free arm around her.

"What are you doing?" Asami asks, still hugging me tightly.

"I got a new Domain Essence and I'm about to add it." She smiles and purrs hearing this.

"I have the best Master!" She says.

"And I have the coolest Alpha!" Luna adds. I smile and pet the two for a minute before pulling away. I walk up to the pillar and insert the Earth Essence in one of the seven remaining slots. A few moments later the screen lights up and displays a message.

Earth Essence Acquired. Loading Terrain. Load Complete, The Following Animals May Now Be Found.

Mountain Goats, Deer, Sheep and Eagles.

The girls start tugging on my arms, dragging me outside. I look around and see that some hills have appeared in the distance and two huge mountains have appeared, they're close enough that they meet halfway down. I can see white snow on the top.

"They're so pretty." Asami says with wonder. Luna runs towards the hills shouting with joy. Me and Asami both laugh. "Y'know Eric, since she's been stuck in that sealed space until you came along she gets really exited about new things. She's also really grateful to you."

"Why are you telling me this?" I ask her suspiciously.

"Don't worry, I just want you to know how much you mean to us. And how much we care about you. So don't go and do anything stupid, okay?" I pat her head and reassure her I won't. Luna comes running back with her tails wagging. She grabs me and Asami and we spend the rest of the day exploring the hills and just playing around. Asami even grabs some stuff for a picnic. We go to bed together, tired and happy.
