Chapter 505 Departure
Orion stood outside the large wooden hut with his sister Gina, and all his wives, his mother Celeste, elder sister Reena, Sura, Grandma Celia, Ursa, Grandma Ingrid, Grandma Vivian, Grandma Derry, Aunt Greta, Lyra, Ayla, Fiona, standing in front of him, reluctantly seeing him off.
Suddenly, Aunt Greta raced forward and immediately grabbed his arm.
"Are you sure that you have to do this? Can't you stay for a little while longer?" she asked, looking at him with a frantic, worried gaze.
Feeling the grip on his arm growing tighter by the second, Orion looked at his other partners behind him, who had shaken their heads helplessly, showing that there was nothing they could do to help.
'She's the one who's taking care of us and the children, so what do you want us to do?' They all thought helplessly.
Regardless, Orion didn't need their help; as such, he immediately wrapped his arm around Aunt Greta's waist and pressed her body against his.
Staring at the worried expression of the gorgeous woman in front of him, the one who had nursed him back to health after he had first woken up in this world, Orion smiled and used his other hand to tuck her hair behind her ears.
"Do you know how deeply asleep you were yesterday?"
Aunt Greta stared at him momentarily before slowly shaking her head in response.
Orion smiled, "Well, you fell so deeply asleep that when I tried to wake you up, you didn't even budge," he said, "I know my Aunt Greta, and I also know that she doesn't sleep that way unless she is exhausted. So, once I'm gone, I want you to promise me that you will sleep when needed and properly take care of yourself from now on."
"Okay, I'll properly take care of myself from now on," Aunt Greta replied immediately, "But you have to promise that you will come back as soon as possible."
"Alright, then I promise to be back as soon as I'm done," Orion said, watching as she suddenly laid her head on his chest. "Faster than you can say, Orion, I miss you."
Aunt Greta looked at him with a naughty smile, "Orion, I miss you."
Orion snorted at her remark. Aunt Greta chuckled at his response and gave him a warm kiss on his lips before she pulled her head back and licked up their saliva before she gulped it down seductively.
"Be safe, okay," she said, staring at him dearly.
"I will," Orion responded before he walked over to the rest of his women. After giving each of them a kiss on the lips, and also not forgetting to give Gina a tight hug and a kiss on both of her cheeks, telling them goodbye personally. Fifi walked out of the hut's door just in time with one big sack behind her.
"Are you done?" She asked.
Orion nodded in response, "Yes, we can leave right away," he replied immediately.
"Okay," Fifi nodded, "Let's go then," she added before she turned around and gave a nod to her sisters before she turned around and left with Orion.
…....…
"...Alright, just remember, your foremost priority is Saria's safety; after that, you may help Orion save the Prismerion race. That is all. I wish you all a safe journey, and may Naka be with you," The Village Chief said as he looked at the thirteen warriors before him, including Fifi, his son, and Orion.
He focused his gaze on Fifi first. He sighed before he spoke, "Although we have been managing without your gift at the well for some time now, it hasn't been easy. So I hope that you can return to the village quickly after you are done so that the village's activities will not be disrupted and will go smoothly."
Fifi nodded firmly, "I understand, Chief. I promise to return to the village as soon as we are done saving Saria and helping the Prismerion race," she said.
"That is what I like to hear," the Village Chief responded.
He then shifted his attention towards his son. "I will be waiting for the good news."
Seth nodded in response, "I will make this mission a success, Father, and will return to the village as quickly as I can to help you handle the village so that you can rest, Father," he said.
"Thank you, Seth. I am sure that you will also make this mission a success," the Village Chief said with a warm smile as he nodded once more before he shifted his attention towards Orion.
He spoke, "Although I would have wanted you to rest for a little bit before you set off again, it seems like fate has other plans," he paused and deeply exhaled before he continued, "However, I am also sure that you will be able to return safely with Saria. May Naka be with you," nodding his head at Orion.
"Don't worry, Chief. I swear on Naka to make this mission a success and do whatever I can to make sure that I bring Saria back to the village," Orion responded, nodding his head seriously at the Village Chief.
The Village Chief nodded once more before he shifted his attention towards the rest of the warriors again, "MAY NAKA BE WITH ALL OF YOU!" he spoke loudly.
The rest of the ten warriors all responded all at once.
"THANK YOU CHIEF!!"
…....….
Thirty minutes after they left the village, in the hot air balloon that he had reinvented, now surprisingly called Orion's Sky, Orion decided to take a good look around.
All he could see below were the dead trees and ashen soil scattered around the ground, along with the Vylkr vines mostly swarming aimlessly. However, their destination remained focused on one spot – the village.
"It's beautiful, right?" Fifi asked with a broad, warm smile as she stood beside him, looking below.
"Although I'm still not aware of what kind of contribution you made to the village for the Chief to name the flying contraption that we received as a gift from Naka after you, I am sure that it is something that you more than deserve," she added.
