PATH OF THE STAR HUNTER

Chapter 219

219 Chapter 219 Athena’s Nest

“You weren’t kidding when you said she was a girl with wings” Sasha commented.

“Kurururu, is she one of your females?” Athena answered curiously.

With a wordless expression Sasha looked at the curious harpy, even having known a little about Athena’s personality beforehand, Sasha found the crude way the harpy referred to her uncomfortable, and what made it worse was that the winged girl wasn?t entirely wrong.

Before Desmond had a chance to intervene, Kyuru joined the conversation with a mischievous smile: “That’s right, she is one of Desmond’s women and she is here to help build your new nest; be kind Athena ”

Athena nodded without thinking too much but kept looking at Sasha curiously, Desmond was familiar with the harpy restless attitude so he didn?t think too much about it, but the next words of the harpy almost made him regret having come here in the first place.

“Have you already had any babies with him?”

At that moment Sasha would have wanted to be drinking a cup of tea so she could spit it out in reaction, Desmond had warned Sasha of how witty the harpy could be and Sasha thought it would not be a big problem, but now she was not so sure.

Kyuru on the other hand watched the entire exchange with a smile on her lips, it was obvious that the mischievous fairy was more than happy to see the world burn around her; Especially if it bothered Desmond as much as it does now.

Not having gotten an answer from the blushing Sasha, Athena approached her looking at her with her yellow eyes full of curiosity and as if she believed that Sasha was not embarrassed enough she said: “You smell like him, were you making babies?”

.....

“Of course not” Sasha replied somewhat altered but as if she had made a mistake, her expression got worse and she added: “It’s not that I don’t want to have his babies, but we are very young ... I’m not ready ... maybe in a few years ... But having children? We haven’t even done it ”

Listening to the awkward ravings of Sasha who was now just babbling something coherently, Desmond wanted to find a hole to jump into, sex was already a sensitive topic with Sasha and now this harpy came to bring the topic of children; Desmond now had a bad feeling that today would not be a good day for him.

“Alright Kyuru, stop rejoicing in my misfortune and tell me why you made me bring Sasha here, I’m going to assume it wasn’t just to make her uncomfortable” Desmond said with a hint of impatience in his tone of voice.

Realizing that the joke might have gotten out of hand, Kyuru stopped laughing so ruthlessly at Desmond’s misfortune and clarified.

“Well you said you wanted to build Athena a home near the outer perimeter of the forest, and I thought both Sasha and I were the right people for the job, I could do it myself, but it would take more time and work,” Kyuru explained.

“Kurururu, a new home? For me?” Athena asked clearly having forgotten why Desmond and Sasha came here.

“Yes, we will help you to have a comfortable and warm place closer to us so that you do not have problems in the mountains; Remember?” Desmond added.

Athena seemed to remember for a moment, but as was normal, she did not remember anything at all and only said: “Athena does not need to be warm, clothes that Desmond give her are very warm, Athena has never felt so good. Desmond takes good care of Athena, Athena is very happy that Desmond is my mate ”

As a side note, during his visits to the harpy this past week Desmond had brought the girl some clothes so he wouldn’t have to see her naked all the time, after going through trial and error Desmond ended up gifting Athena several long warm sweaters that covered up to the harpy’s thighs.

Of course, Desmond had to use his skills with the thread and the needle to adapt the sweaters so the wings of the harpy were not a problem when using them.

Coming back to the present, already with some experience dealing with this capricious harpy, Desmond put his hand on Athena’s fluffy hair and stroked it affectionately while saying, “I know you like your new clothes and you are very happy, but I want you to be even happier, if we build you a new home you will be even more comfortable, you will be closer to me so Kyuru and I can visit you more easily; I will also make sure that your new home is very nice. How about it?”

One might think Desmond’s method of convincing Athena was childish... and they would be right, but with Athena’s thinking, it didn’t take long for her to agree.

“Very good, Kyuru, what do you need?” Desmond said after convincing the harpy to stay put for a moment.

Kyuru who was having a conversation with Sasha turned to see Desmond and with an infinitely hurtful attitude said: “Ah? Actually, I don’t need your help at all, I just asked you to come and play with the girl and keep her still ”

Seeing the indifferent attitude of Kyuru who pushed him away as if he were a nuisance, Desmond did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt more inclined towards the latter, he never thought the fairy had only brought him to be the harpy’s nanny.

Outraged and with wounded pride, Desmond went to play with Athena on one side, while deep down he was calculating how many jars of honey the fairy would lose for this offense; poor Kyuru didn’t know how spiteful Desmond could be sometimes.

Now with Desmond and Athena out of the way, Kyuru brought Sasha with her until they came to a small clearing in the forest about twenty meters from where you were and about 300m from the outer edge of the forest.

Seeing the only tree in the center of this clearing of fertile land and feeling the energy in the atmosphere, Kyuru nodded to herself, she turned around and said to Sasha: “Well now I need you to show me your true form.”
