Chapter 15 – memories

‘’- inner thoughts

???-speaking aloud

Eoin’s pov

A white room suddenly appeared around me as daners finished his chant. This was surprising as the room was similar to the one that I had met the goddesses in when I first got here. I heard the rustling of clothes behind me and turned to see the silver haired goddess with a large stack of papers in her hands.

Eoin- ‘’eh hello?’’. I asked not really knowing why I was here.

Maeve-‘’ hello there young one, I know you may be confused as why you are here again, but first things first I’m sorry’’ she said as she lowered her head to me.

Eoin-‘’ Why are you apologising?’’ .I asked her.

Maeve-‘’ the spell that the man you were duelling against is known as a forbidden one as is attempts to destroy the soul of the target at the cost of the life of the caster, I was able to stop the spell from destroying your soul but as gods cannot be everywhere at once and also I’m not a god of magic it isn’t really my strong suit to disrupt others magic, unfortunately the spell will affect art of your memories mainly the ones that hold your personality and the people you care about also I used a teleportation spell to try and get you out of the firing line in case anymore magic was cast towards you but I don’t know where you will end up’’ she finished telling me what had happened and put her hands on my shoulders. ‘’ to try and give you proper reimbursement (A/N not sure if that’s the right way to put it) I am willing to grant you one request as long as it not too insane but know this I can’t give you your memories back as it is not within my power, but over time you may regain them.’’ I was devastated about what she had told me, I dint want to forget my family not after what I went through, I wanted to be at the birth of my child sure I was surprised when Sitra told me but after I thought it through I want to raise it the way a child deserves to be raised and not the way I was , I wanted to spend more time with the few people I called my friends at the academy sure they were all female but still I cared for them. but there was nothing I could do about that at this time but what I could do was ask maeve to protect them until I came back if I came back.

Eoin-‘’ could you protect all the people I care about until I come back especially Sitra?’’ I asked her.

Maeve-‘’ok and by the way the person who assaulted your sister I kinda got pissed at him for how he treats women and turned him into a female and gave him to the orkz to use as a seedbed, well truth be told most of the other goddesses helped as well none of them really liked what he was doing to the mortals down there’’. I couldn’t help but be surprised at this as from what I had learned from history classes of this world is that the orkz where a type of elf that had lost control of dark magic and was transformed into a hideous green skinned monster that couldn’t use magic at all but was extremely powerful in terms of strength.

Maeve-‘’ now im afraid this will be goodbye for the foreseeable future I hope that you will recover your memories’’ as soon as she said this a blinding white light appeared and I lost my sense of self.

Sykora’s pov

The mist was rising from the damp ground as I lay in wait for the deer that I had been hunting for the last 12 hours. I felt the change in the direction of the wind and moved into a position that was downwind of the deer as it sat grazing in the small clearing I was looking into.

Steading my breath as I drew back the string of my bow I brought the feathered end of the arrow up to my cheek and aimed for the spot in between the fore leg and lower body of the deer that if hit would pierce the heart and kill it painlessly and quickly. I unleashed the flying stick of death and inside a few seconds the deer was on the ground dead. I walked up to the body of the deer and thanked its sprit for the food that I had gained.

I started to skin the animal first taking care of the hide carefully with me knife as not to damage the skin this process took a few minutes to complete but as soon as it was done I strung the hide up to dry so that it could be packed. Then I quickly gutted the animal not wanting the contents of it stomach to contaminate the meat that I worked hard to get after the guts of the animal were extracted I dug a 3 foot deep hole and buried them in that as to not attract any predator as went about preparing the meat so that I could carry it back to the village. This process took the good part of a day as every single bit of an animal could be used in some way or another, I checked the pelt to see of it had dried enough and to my luck it had I rolled It up and tied it on to the top of my pack and started to walk towards the direction of the village.

Brom village was a rather peaceful mountain village that was located in the dragon ruled continent, it was located deep in the mountains that lay on the very edge of the landmass it was so deep in fact that it was very rare to even get visitors from any other villages as the nearest one was three weeks away. The village itself was very small with at most 20 houses here with the tannery, blacksmith and the mead house being the only other buildings in the milled was a rather large pool of water that was at the bottom of a waterfall while on the right side a very large section of land was cordoned off so that it could be used for growing crops and raising animals.

I was the daughter of the local village blacksmith but in truth I had never liked black smithing , sure it was a respectable profession but I preferred to be out in the wilds with the animals listening to the birds sing their songs as the cool wind blew along the earth giving my skin slight goose bumps. I mainly attributed this to the fact that my mother who was a local druid was always in the forest even when she was pregnant with me , my mother was part of the white wolf clan of beast men one of the most respected clan after the dragonkin but she had chosen to live in a secluded mountain village to be with nature, my father on the other hand was part of the regular wolf clan but he had dark grey fur. Me on the other hand had silver fur that was kept long my face was said to resemble my mothers who died during child birth she was apparently considered a beauty even by the succubi race and that was saying a lot.

I was a around 500 meters from when I say a slight red sheen off to my right, I crouched down and approached where I was, the first thing I noticed was the smell of copper in the air witch could only mean blood, I crept closer and saw a person lying on the ground with wounds all over him but with no clothes on. I ran up and checked his pulse and to me relief he had one, I quickly pulled out some bandages and began to apply them to his wounds as soon as this was done I brought out the special arrow that my father had made, it had a rather weird conical shape with may groves in it that were meant to make a loud noise when it was fired so that if I was in trouble the village guards would know and head to the area I was in to help me, I fired the arrow directly up and an ear splitting noise came from it.

It didn’t take long for the guards to arrive with their weapons drawn the saw my trying to help the young man towards the village and quickly pulled him away from me and stated to head towards the village with him in their arms. He was brought to helen the healers house and many different poultices were applied to his body.

After two weeks he still hadn’t woke up and I was beginning to think he wasn’t going to but it’s not like it really mattered to me anyway. i was helping my father in bringing in the farm tools that needed to be fix when helens son a rather simple cat man ran up to the forge.

Dave-‘’ sykora the man has woken up come quickly’’ he said to me as he began to run towards his house again as I followed him quickly.

We entered the house to find the man huddled in the corner scared out of his mind. Helen was trying to console him but nothing would work.

Sykora-‘’ oi you!’’. I yelled at him as I walked towards him, he turned around to look at me. I threw mr arm back a delivered a punch into the center of his face. ’’now that you have stopped shaking tell us your name’’

Young man –‘’ I don’t know it’’ he said to me.

Sykora-‘’ what do you mean?’’

Young man-‘’ I mean I have no idea who I am’’

Sitra’s pov

After the duel my beloved disappeared we spent two days looking for him but to no avail since then its been 12 days and ive decided to head back to my father’s castle as my pregnancy is starting to show and it would be better if other nobles didn’t find out yet of course my sister and Yuki will be coming with me.

Soon we were leaving for the capital where my father’s castle was the journey was going to take two more weeks but a large squadron of royal guard would be escorting us there so not much could happen.

Yuki was probably doing the worst out of us as she hadn’t seen her brother in years and now he had disappeared again, she just sat there with a look of yearning in her face as she stared off into the distance to be perfectly honest I most likely had the same look on my face as well.

Sitra-‘’ Yuki when we reach the castle I promise you we will find my beloved even if we have to ask the other countries for help’’ I said to her in an effort to console her.

She just nodded to me in answer.

‘Darling please be safe and hurry to my side’

Jevraths’s Pov

Where am I all I can see I a white light, suddenly a figure bathed in light appears before me it appears to be a woman.

Woman-‘’ Jevrath the gods frown upon and as such they have decreed that you shall suffer the same treatment as those who you violated .but be warned this isn’t a normal punishment as your gender shall change and you will lose all of your martial prowess as well as any magical abilities and never be able to regain them, also your tongue will be ripped from your head and you will be made immortal but this is not the end you will also become a seedbed for the orkz’’ as soon as she finished a light bathed me and I felt my body changing as my manhood was replaced. Another flash of light and I found myself in a cave I tried to shout out but only a gurgling sound came out.

???-‘’ ey, boss wat dis ting ere?’’. I heard a voice say as a green skin monster came out of the shadows.

???-‘’ well boyz wat we got ere is out newest seedbed ave fun!!’’ the largest ork roared as the rest descended upon me.
