It had been 3 days since the saintess and I had our chat.
The entire village had heard of my battle , if you call it that.
And today the Chief himself gave me another visit.Unlike the last visit where I had gone to him , this time he had showed up.
Quickly serving him some tea, I nodded and spoke "What do I owe the pleasure of meeting you this quickly"
The Chief took a moment before speaking "Before we begin, I would like to convey the saintess's apology once again".
"Its quite alright , happens with the best of us, and from my perspective I gained quite a lot of information". I said, trying to steer the conversation to the main topic.
The chief nodded and continued "The saintess asked your assistance for certain matters in the neighbouring village. To be specific , a famine has occurred."
I guess thats the reason she even came to visit me, I suppose I had runied her errand for such nobel means, well if she had started with this rather than 'Join me' I might have helped her right away
Well look at that, that's what happens when all the things are grouped into a single place.
Let me guess , since Sterope is a Sea King, the famine is not because of a drought.
I nodded "Well I suppose that's it alright,The Fool is the god of wishes and miracle"
I continued, "But I do have a request.". The Chief pondered for a moment before nodding.
"I wish for you to construct a cathedral for the Fool".
The chief spoke "Public construction require the unanimous vote of the people and even the saintess can't override such protocol"
Well that does make sense, even our own record shows that humans them self were quite democrats until the copper age.
I nodded.
With that the chief continued "well , since this is quite urgent , the saintess wants you to reach there by tomorrow. But I don't think that's possible, but I shall let you use my carriage for travels."
I said "That won't be necessary, with the fool's help , I can simply reach there in a matter of a moment."
The chief looked rather doubtful but didn't voice it, with that he stood up and left.

I and Arthur stood outside Moria's Inn. "While the Fool himself doesn't have a mission for you ,I do, and that requires us to travel to oíkos"
"But won't that take at least 3 days." I nodded and spoke "I will show you something only high sequence beings like I and Oz can do"
Arthur lit up in anticipation.
Both of us had packed the most basic supplies , and packed in as much money as we could.
"Hold me tight, if you get lost , you will never find your way out".
Arthur quickly gripped my hands as tight as he could.
I snapped my figure and made a wish for us to enter the spirit world.
———————————————————————————————
As the entire surrounding began to palpitate, the color of all things began to blend like an oil painting.
The surrounding began to dull to a blush brown.
All kinds of things looked at us , The seven lights above our head began to accelerate.
Just as I took a step, all eyes averted their gaze using the spiritual intuition of a Miracle Invoker, I began to move forward.
Arthur, trying to control his fear, asked in a shaky voice , "what place is this", but before I could answer , the symbols and sounds quickly answered his question.
"The Spirit World, this place is linked to my spiritual project" Arthur spoke as if talking to himself.
"Yes, all things that you see here , are an amalgamation of past , present and the future, us seer pry into spirit world to gather the past and future of our clients"
Arthur nodded and tried to absorb as much as he could.
As we continued to walk , countless spirits crossed our path.
"Arthur , do you know you could use these spirits to communicate with people at vast distance"
Arthur who was lost in his vigilance and thought "Ahh that makes sense , this place exhibits merging of places and time, then by that logic, travel must be quick"
I nodded "Yes, well I suppose, once I have complete my work in this village I should help you get a messenger"
Arthur nodded.
Suddenly my spirit triggered and I stopped walking. Arthur followed suit and also stopped walking.
I snapped my finger and suddenly the bluish brown began to take shape , the green began to surround , then a hint blue took over the entire of my entire vision.
I felt my legs touching soft yet firmness that only belongs to soil.
We were in Oíkos, the village of farming.

"Greeting gentlemen My name is Antigonus,this is my travel companion Arthur we are summoned by the saintess."
The guard looked at us, as he took out a book and began to check for something.
He then closed the book and nodded and said "It's our pleasure you came here as quickly as possible sir seer, please quickly purge this famine."
I nodded and spoke "The Fool who rules destiny and miracle, for 'Him' such a task is child's play"
"Praise the Fool" Arthur chimed in.
The guard quickly copied the motion Arthur and I did and let us entire the village.
The building made of multiple symmetric pillars supporting the floor, the floors made of lime and sandstone sent a hint of nostalgia.
It quite literally reminded me of Greece.
Looking around the entire place, I quickly spotted the biggest building at the center.
"That's our destination , shall we get going". Arthur nodded.
———————————————————————————————
Just as we reached the gates of the building, I could see the saintess standing on the roof of the building.
Both our eyes met and she quickly bowed right from her position and then jumped off the building.
'Whoosh' as the sound of wind scattering on the ground spread, The saintess landed on the ground with much elegance.
"Greeting sire, It is our utmost pleasure to have you here" I nodded and spoke "While I love the elegance welcome, from the looks of it, if this famine isn't dealt with, this entire could and would suffer massive casualty"
The saintess nodded quickly in a sense of fear and called two carriage, one for us and the other for herself.

We entered the farmland that had been covered in blight, the yellow devoured the green.
Both of us were surrounded by the entire population as all farmers wished for these damned diseases to be lifted.
One of the farmer spoke "We have even burned land to ash in an attempt to remove the blight and yet it returns without fail"
I nodded and looked at the blight and then looked at Saintess "Just one tiny question, You haven't made any attempt to displease the Goddess of Harvest"
"None , we have been cultivating just as we always do".
I nodded this is the result of time and normal growth of things , good that makes things easier.
I then looked at the field and made a wish
I wish that blight that covers these fields disintegrates into nothingness and may never spread on these lands.
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era, The Mysterious Ruler of Grey Fog, the King of yellow and Black who wields .I Antigonus your one and only attendant,I ask you in this time of need , In this depraved Land, I ask you to create the most grandest miracle and heal this land back to its original glory"
Good job Nikolas , now I have some pretty easy believers , I just have to make sure that these people don't go overboard with their fanaticism
The wish spread across the land as the pale yellow blight began wanish as green waves began to flow.
The entire crowd erupted in joy, even Sterope was quite happy,though there was not much of a reaction from her.
I waited for a moment and then I myself chanted "Praise the Fool".
The crowd as well erupted in the chant.

This world's night sky had the brightest star but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.
The villagers had hosted a feast, Arthur and I had been enjoying the delicacies, especially the wine.
I looked at the saintess, she was enjoying the feast but in a rather isolated way.
I poured a glass of wine and went straight to her.
"Whats with the solitude Sterope, I think its best that you too enjoy this feast"
Sterope without looking at me and mumbled something.
"What?" I asked in a calm and polite tone.
"Why do you celebrate with humans, these weak creatures who possess no abilities to their name?
They are inferior by all means but why does an angel and Demonic Wolf dance with them?
They are your prey, a hunter doesn't dance with their prey."
I looked at this elf drunk on the power of godhood and nodded, I then took a seat beside her .
"It seems I figured out why The Elf King sent your here"
Sterope looked at me , her face covered in bluish scales and her eyes had taken the pupils of a fish , extremely dilated pupils that would send a shiver down one's spine.
Her canines had become much sharper like that of a vampire.
It seemed that her innate humanity and godhood were in a midst of clash. These people must truly think of her as a saintess and truly pray to her.
"Well, the answer is very simple , this very answer is the reason the Giant King's Court welcomes humans with open arm."
With that I casted requiem on her soul. The pupils dilated back to normal , the teeth shrank back but the scales remained.
"Tell me why, I want an answer" Sterope asked with the stern voice of tyrant as the characteristics began to take hold of her sole once again.
I wish that the will of the Sea King beyonder characteristics can no longer exert influence on this elf.
The scales and the effects of characteristics vanished.
I continued "All mutated creatures that rome the Eastern Continent were once Humans"
Sterope looked at me with immense shock, I nodded "Most of the Mutated Creatures will not know this since they are well mutated
But both the Giant King and The Fool is aware of these matters"
"But humans are weak creatures how would they possess any ability or power and what proof do you have that humans and elf or demonic wolf were once humans"
Sternope tried to reason with her own belief, but since this was said by an Angel , one could divine the truthfulness of these claims in mere moments.
After a while Sternope took the glass of wine that I had brought and chugged it all down , "Sire , though I truly appreciate this new information , you are extremely late at delivering this to me. And therefore I have no capacity to believe in such a ludicrous idea."
So that's how you have decided to cope , well I suppose Ignorance is bliss .
I stood up from my seat and went to the food section.
