Chapter 452 Cat God's Paradise
Chapter 452 Cat God's Paradise
The other things on my list were the Amazons and the festival, but the latter of the two could be done with help. The Amazons were going to be a me project, and they needed to be dealt with before I headed down to the Underworld. I was almost positive that I was just going to have to beat it into them, but I needed to do it in a way that they would actually learn something from it. It was clear that even defeat was not enough to make these women use the gray matter between their ears.
Before I knew it, the night was over, and everyone was heading back to their own dwellings. Tallia was snoring in my arms as Eliza, Chilli, Nya, Snowy, Breya, and Claire all came over to see us.
"Goldy got Queen Melrose and her party back to Bramma," Breya said as she looked down at Tallia.
"The goddess looked like she needed this more than most of us!" Nya laughed quietly, and I smiled.
"She has been putting in a lot of work lately because of me, and she deserves this," I smiled.
"I noticed that you didn't really drink that much, and I was wondering if maybe you all wanted to come for a sleepover? We can have some drinks, and play some games! I feel like I barely got to see you with everything that happened!" Snowy explained, and Nya nodded, looking like she was a bit less drunk but by no means sober as she hung off Breya.
"That seems like a great idea! I could definitely use some downtime," I said and lifted Tallia before standing up.
"Yeah, let's do it! Come on, girls, this is going to be so much fun!" Eliza said as she linked arms with Chilli and Nya.
"Nya! Open a portal home!" Snowy said, and Nya opened a crooked portal that led to open air about fifty feet above the ground.
"Sorry! Give me a second!" Nya said, and after three tries, the portal opened to an elegant room filled with cushions and paths everywhere. "Ha Ha! See! I can do..."
Nya was forced to let go of Eliza and turned to puke out a rainbow as the other girls made their way into the portal. The Cat Goddess finished what she was doing and then wiped her mouth with a smile as I waited for her with Tallia sleeping in my arms.
"That was better than expected," I laughed as she stepped into the portal, and I followed.
Nya laughed and gave me a thumbs up after the portal closed, and I looked all over the crazy room I had just walked into. I honestly was glad that I had Tallia in my arms right now, or I wouldn't be able to sit still; this place was a Cat God's paradise!
There were small paths that ran into the air to hanging platforms, weaving through the room in a haphazard pattern. Everywhere was filled with toys, books, and snacks!
"Welcome to my home!" Snowy said proudly as she showed us all around. There were rooms for each of them, for guests, for games, and for romantic nights.
"This place is amazing!" I said, despite the fact that I had no idea what half of the stuff was.
Breya laughed and pointed out some of the weird gadgets and gizmos before I had to excuse myself to go put Tallia down. She would have been so mad at me if she knew I was carrying her through the halls.
I quietly set her down on a bed Chili had shown me. Then I kissed her forehead before going back to the main room.
We stayed up late playing cards, dice, and drinking until everyone was passed out, even Nya. After everyone was asleep, I went into the garden and looked up at the stars. I thought about my goddesses, Fate and Murphy, the Winds of Change, the Amazons, and where I wanted to go from here.
"Even after all this, you are still up and sober!" Snowy said as she walked up beside me in a fluffy white robe, linking her arm with mine. "I am not really feeling tired yet, so maybe you would like to go for a walk in the moonlight? It would be nice to talk to the person that taught my mother and goddess everything she knows."
"A walk? Yes, I would like that. I would like to see some of your land, even if it is just in the moonlight. As for Nya, she knew much before meeting me, but she is very close to my heart, and we spent a lot of time in Yaggisdral together," I said as we started to walk.
"Yes, she has told me quite a few stories over the last week about her memories. We have always been very close, but lately, Nya has been at my side constantly. Do you know why?" Snowy asked, and I shook my head. "She is working hard with the rest of the girls and me to get our island into tip-top shape for when you finally come for your visit. She doesn't want you to have to do anything but spend time with everyone when you come. I really wish the rest of the goddesses had as much ambition as she does."
"To be fair, everyone has been in their positions much longer than they should have had to be. These women have all had to step up into their positions, some doing much better than others. The point is that they are here not because they were elected goddesses, but because they are doing the best that they can or are willing to at this point. I get it, but that is why I am going to be giving all the goddesses a chance to choose if they want to keep being a goddess. Then the ones that stay and the new ones will all get 1 to 3 assistants to help divide up the work," I explained as we started walking into a tall hedge maze lit up with Light Stones in the paths.
