Priestess Of The Land

"I have brought the woman little brother," said Hepri winking at Chukah who ignored him in

return.

Tria got up and walked closer to the woman, scanning her up and down. "You are indeed a real beauty, you and I are going to have a lot of fun," she said to her.

Crei's brows furrowed, and for the first time took a glance at the woman and said," I don't see where," and looked away.

"Pfft!" Chukah could not help but laugh at Crei's jealousy. Only Tria could make this man say such things.

"Bring her to an inn, and have her cleaned up, we'll be out for a while, so reserve rooms for us as well."

Tria got up and left, followed by Crei and Chukah who smirked at Hepri.

"What about me? Why am I still being left out?" He cried, 'Oh no, are they distancing themselves from me?' he wondered but quickly cleared his head feeling the slave woman's gaze on him.

"Let's go, don't worry, we won't hurt you!"

The woman shuddered violently when she heard his words.

Hepri shook his head, "no, that is not what I mean, I'm sure my little brother will let you go after this, just bear for a while."

The woman looked at him in horror.

"Why do you keep misunderstanding what I'm saying? Don't you understand that you were just saved and is now a free woman? Gee, get up already and follow me so you can get cleaned up."

The woman, although still skeptical, shyly nodded her head and complied while looking in the direction Tria had left curiously.

Meanwhile, on some isolated side of town, Tria was looking toward Centria who was over 50 miles away.

"Wifey, I have had this strange feeling since we came, is the island moving around or am I just seeing things?" said Crei trying to start a conversation with Tria.

She looked at him and said," I'm sure you can see a lot better than me, so you are not mistaken, it is indeed moving, because it's not an island. It's a giant turtle."

Crei squinted his eyes playfully at Tria, she was still upset but she did not hate him. 'Good,' he thought, whatever happened earlier was probably nothing.

"Hmm, it would seem that they are using the turtle's lifeforce continuously, I can feel it slowly dying..." he solemnly said.

"I feel it too, the pain and resignation of this poor creature. So that's how this supposed god had been able to create those eye people huh?"

"Actually, now that I know how he's creating them, I can confirm that he's anything but a god. He wants to be, badly too it seems, he's probably been using the priestesses' power to be whatever he is."

"Well, whatever he is, will soon be no longer. To think the actual gods would tolerate such a thing on the land they created."

"Well they are fighting a war that's affecting the livelihood of the people they created, there is no way they'll pay attention to a faux-god if anything they probably go to him for priestesses to replenish their powers."

"That is true. Well then, time to fix the barrier, and cause some disturbance," she said and grinned.

"Whenever you are ready, my lady."

Activating her eyes, Tria looked up at the sky and focused on the thin barrier surrounding the Unknown Land. She raised her hands and from out of all corners of the land shot up lines of lights merging at the center, forming a dome of light and sprinkling divine pure energy down throughout the land.
