Tales of Mythopoeia

"I guess. Better than looking like im trying to make it up." Leo said to Lorenzo and Cecilia as Lynna stormed into the building and nearly rammed him. "WOAH!" he shouted moving to the side. "........im starting to wonder if we should take this one too. If only to keep her out of trouble.....cause all of the maids and Walter are kinda preoccupied at the moment."

"What would you suggest from what they got here?" Aomora asks Nathan as she takes a seat across the table. Anyway, gonna disregard that event earlier ever happened. Although, these clothes are Greallandian? she thought to herself.

Tulsa's Sea Shack, Roggrasha. Ferridan 10:16 AM FsT

Lynna stopped in her tracks, standing motionless for a few moments.

"...Ehhhhh?" Her head tilted. She suddenly gasped happily, "Are we going back to that lake!?" She asked with a big grin and a blank stare, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Uh.....no." Leo said thinking of how to explain it. "We're.......going to go see a super magical spirit lady.........." he said awkwardly. I cant say i'd have EVER imagined myself speaking like this to anyone before......hoo boy. Lady Louise is gonna flip.

Maxwell Household 6:28 PM FtST

Lynna's smile immediately faded. She glared at Leo with a serious expression. "Will Lynna like this Super Magical Spirit lady?"

"......I don't know?" Leo said. "I don't wanna say yes and it turns out I lied to you y'know?"

"......" Lynna stared at Leo for a moments. "Okay! Lynna trusts you!" She grabbed his arm and started tugging it. "Come on, lets go! Aira wants to see her too!!"

Maxwell Household, 6:35 PM FtST.

"HAHAAA. Told you so. Yeah, I thought it'd give the stuff a little kick. Good catch. Now quit hogging it." He takes the vial from Jiao-rong and takes a couple of sips and hands the vial back to Jiao-rong. "Mmmm. Oh, that's good. Hic You gotta stop worrying about what you're looking for burrrp or you'll miss out on the things you find. Hic Hehehaaaahahaheh."

Lorenzo laughed, "Ha! Welp that decides it. Let's go see us a spirit lady!" He turned to the door and went outside. He poked his head back in. "Wait where is this spirit lady?"

Lexianna had gotten out of the fountain at this point. "[Ahh, that was refreshing!]" She wrung out what she could from her shirt. "[Now where did everyone go?]" She said looking around.

Maxwell Household, 6:38 PM FtST

"The eastern side of Grandall." Leo stated. "Like, the ENTIRE area is all hers." He said. "If you thought my place was something then you're gonna lose it when we get there." He said as the four of them strolled down the stone paved roads.

"Ah!" Maya said seeing Lexiana looking around confused. "Everyone went out for a bit. They'll be back shortly."

"Oh snap..." Lorenzo said curiously, "I wonder what that's like. She probably just runs through the halls at different points. I would have fun doing that." He laughed

"Aww! umm, Is true?" Lexianna said disappointed, "Okay, Is there... anything I help with?" She wrung some water out of her hair, "I know you do lots work for us to be here. Me want help you." She said gesturing to herself then to Maya. "I'm Lexianna, you?" She shook her hand to get some water off and offered it to Maya.
Maxwell Household, 6:40 PM FtST

Lynna followed behind Leo closely. Looking around at the surroundings as they walked. She kept quiet, swinging her arms widely as she walked.
"Lynna thinks Aira wants me here for a reason, I wish I knew what it was!" She thought out loud to no one in particular.

"Maya." Maya said shaking Lexianna's hand. "If you want to help you could give me a hand with taking the gardening tools around to the shed."

"Is that so?" Leo said to Lynna. "Well we're just about here." he said as they approached a large golden gate. It reached so high that one would break their legs if they attempted to climb over it and hop it. Two men approached the group who seemed to be guarding the gate.

"Halt. Proof of identity or papers confirming your permission of an audience of her holiness." the man on the right said.

Leo simply summoned the four spirits to appear infront of the men.

"Identity confirmed. Young Maxwell and his escort Cecilia may pass." the man on the left said.

"The other two are with me." Leo said. "I know its alot to ask, but they have information that is most vital to share with Lady Louise." Like hell its alot to ask.

"Understood. They may enter on the condition that they stay with you at all times." the man on the right said.

"Alright. Thanks." Leo said with a small bow as he continued on through the golden gates. "And now the fun part." he said pointing at a winding road that seemed to go on forever. "Actually getting to the building."

"Woooo!! Lynna likes fun!!" Lynna shouted, running on the trail ahead of the others, skipping and jumping along as she did so.

"........." Leo silently watched Lynna skip down the path. I feel like it would be a crime to say I was being sarcastic. "Welp. Here goes nothing." he said as he began to walk down the long road to Louise's place.

Grandall Eastern Side: Louise's estate 6:48 PM FtST

"Ok!" Lexianna said enthusiastically, as she started taking the tools.

"Yayyyyyyy." Lorenzo said unenthusiastically. " let's get it over with I guess." He then saw Lynna and couldn't help but snicker. "Hey at least she has a point. Better to enjoy it then not!" He starts walking himself.
Grandall Eastern Side: Louise's estate 6:50 PM FtST

"Ay waiter! I'll order the Bottomless Grilled Killika fish for all of us, and three ravaging lemonades please!" Nathan said excitingly.

"Oh wow, I thought you weren't gonna chip in for me. Thank you..." Kalina said.

"Umm...yea? Despite the distaste with you earlier, I still keep to my word. Don't worry about it!" Nathan said smiling.

"Should be about 10 minutes sir. I'll grab your drinks now." The waiter said as the grouped waited for their dishes.

"Well...here we go. This shouldn't be so bad." Cecilla said.

Grandall Eastern Side: Louise's estate 6:53 PM FtST

"URGH." Leo groaned. "Its been twenty minutes! Why does she do this to meeeeeeeeeeeeee" he said as his pace became horribly slow.

"I ask myself the SAME THING!" a woman's voice shouted dramatically. "Im sick of sitting here rotting in my chair! GET IN HERE." the voice said as the group began to glow and disappeared only to fall into a large throne room. Sitting on the throne was a blob of purple. Everything about her, save her peach skin and her yellow eyes, was purple. The woman stood up and tapped the base of her staff on the ground causing the room to glow a light blue hue. "WELCOME! YOU STAND BEFORE THE MARVELOUS AND BEWITCHING CREATOR OF THIS WORLD!! I AM KNOWN AS LOUISE AURANNIS! BUT YOU MAY ALL SIMPLY CALL ME GOD. MY CHILDREN. I ASK OF THEE. WHAT BRINGS YOU ALL TO MY CHAMBERS?"

Leo slapped his head in shame and grumbled to himself "This again. This is what happens when she has nothing to do." he then looked up. "Uh. These are my friends. I kinda ran into them when aimlessly wandering around trying to do my job, which I unfortunately must add that I have made no progress in today." he said as he got onto one knee at seeing her expression become serious. "My most humble apologies Madam. I shame the family Maxwell."

"..............................its been like, 9 or 10 hours since you started." Louise said raising an eyebrow. "Did you think I expected you to accomplish this in one day? Its a journey honey. J-O-U-R-N-E-Y. You're gonna take a while to do it, just don't dilly dally TOO much alright?" She then walked down a small set of stairs infront of her throne to approach the others. "I apologize that you all got involved into this. Its my duty to ensure that innocent bystanders do not get involved in this. Well its actually HIS job" she said pointing to leo giving the others a "This guy right here." look.

Louise's Throne Room 7:15 PM FtST

Lorenzo was dumbfounded, "Uhhh... huh..." He snapped out of it a bit, "Yea... no, It's alright. I kinda was promised something so I came along. I wanted to explore the outside anyway. I don't know much about the area since Basil doesn't let me out of Grandall normally. And I'm kinda not a bystander." He moved his rifle around, "I know my way around a fight." He then grabbed Leo by the shoulder and turned him around to whisper to him, "You didn't tell me your god was a brat." He whispered annoyed. He turned to look at Louise and then turned back, "Plus she's kinda... crazy? I don't know how to... respond to this..."

Louise's Throne Room 7:15 PM FtST

"I'd just like to inform you, that yes I did hear you. And if I were a brat i'd be getting offended at you calling me a brat. Just saying. Not that im offended in any way. 'Cause im not." Louise said glaring at Lorenzo.

Louise's Throne Room 7:15 PM FtST

"My duty for the moment is to stay close to Leo to ensure his safety. Something came up that pulled us of course but rest assured, we'll get this done." Cecilla said.

Louise's Throne Room 7:17 PM FtST

Lynna stared blankly with a big grin as the other talked, before speaking out randomly. "Who is Louise!? Lynna doesn't know what a Louise is!" She asked with a big grin on her face.

Louise's Throne Room 7:19 PM FtST

Lorenzo's shoulders jumped up slightly scared at first. Doi. She's a god. Probably can see and hear everything. But then he grew defiant. "Well, just saying, My sister's a brat and she would respond just the way you did." He started with a hint of sass and then had more, "I mean, while we're just saying stuff, I wouldn't send a shut-in that doesn't know anything about the world with the most boring healer alive to... to..." He turned to Leo, "What ARE you doing for the crazy god anyway? It has to be important if she doesn't want random people knowing about it. She must be in trouble or something..." He then realized what he was saying and grew kinda sheepish, "Uhh... you can't like... just make me implode, right?" He chuckled nervously, "I mean we were just saying stuff right?"

Louise's Throne Room 7:20 PM FtST

"Hm? Yeah I could do that. Implode you, incinerate you, rip you in half, just about any horrible end you could possibly think of!" Louise said to Lorenzo with a demented smile. "And I just said that IM Louise." she said turning to Lynna. "Or did I forget to shout my name during my introductory speech? ANYWAYS!" she said as she cleared her throat. "I have reasons for picking this child out to fulfill my mission. Unfortunately, I cant disclose the details of what exactly he is doing and why. The only way I can do such a thing is if you all were to join him on his quest."

As Louise finished her sentence the four spirits appeared infront of her and all bowed to her.

"Grand Master." Efreet said as he turned to the group. "Though clumsy as they may be, the child with the gun speaks no lie. He does know his way around a fight somewhat, and I feel that it may do the young master well to have more comrades to assist him on his journey."

"I agree. While I do have reservations about the group hes with, I suppose its better for him to travel with people he gets along with. And they all seem to be good to each other for the most part." Undine added.

"Oh! OH! I WANNA BE WITH LYNNA! LET THEM COME! PLEASE! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASEEEEEEE!" Sylph shouted. Gnome simply just sat down next to Lorenzo.

".............Hm. Grados boy gets a pass, but what about that odd one?" Louise asked. "I know the cleric girl was sent specifically to aid Leo, but what about the odd one there? Has anyone seen her perform any sort of skills?"

And congrats Lynna. Your name is officially "The Odd One" for all eternity.... "Uh......she......helped us defeat a large group of enemies at lake Ilma......." Leo flat out lied.

"........................................" Louise stared Leo down and remained silent for quite some time. "..........Alright then. Its settled. Should you want to travel with him, you all can be his traveling partners. I cant be bothered to explain whats going on because honestly I really don't feel like it right now." she said with a heavy sigh. "Being god is more work than it seems. So Leo can just tell you all everything! You can do that for me right? I'll reward your friends with whatever they desire, so long as it isnt something like WORLD DOMINATION or a brothel of women in their cellars. None of that. No bad stuff."

"I assume we're done?" Leo asked. "If so i'll tell you what everyone wants later." he said. After finishing what he said Louise waved her hand and returned all of the children to Leo's place.


"You know he was lying." Undine said to Louise. "Why did you pretend that he was speaking the truth?"

"Because, maybe he'll learn some sense of responsibility. And know what its like having to look out for and shoulder the well being of others. Im not gonna be around forever you know." she said as she collapsed onto the ground. "Gotta have SOME plausible candidates to replace me in the worst case scenario."

"That scenario being........" Undine said. "If you don't mind me asking."

"Oh you know. That other little task I've been looking into for quite some time. Doesn't seem like much progress has been made." she said lifting her face to look up to Undine.

"You shouldn't be forcing yourself Milady." Undine said offering her hand to Louise. "All of your being hyperactive and putting on a display isn't good for your condition."

"Well, I figure if I act like that it looks like im as in good health as ever and have more free time than I know what to do with it." Louise said with a small chuckle. "Then again even a god can make mistakes it seems. I can fool those kids easy but I cant say that it will work once they've grown a bit over their travels." she then slowly stood up. "Well then! Time to go talk to my good friend. You get going now." she commanded Undine.

"As you wish." she said disappearing.

Louise's Throne Room 7:35 PM FtST

"What the heck is that s'pposed to mean, old man? I don't wanna turn into a hobo............. no offense." Jioa-rong takes another sip and passes the bottle back.

"Phew! Sho good. Dunno why this stuffs contruh... contrabble... NOT LEGAL. Dunno. Paid a guy to smuggles me some once. Couldn't moves for a week. HAH! Check this shit old man!"

Jiao-rong stares at his finger, his eyes screwed trying to focus. The tip of his finger begins to glow. "Haha!" He begins drawing in the air leaving lines of light with his finger.
"P...O...O...P... POOP! Hehehehe. Yup. That's what today was. Poop! hahahaha."
