Sol then took 3 hours to travel across the globe, stopping a few times to spread some love to some pairs that caught her eye. Sometimes it was a plant that was pretty, sometimes it was an animal like a deer that had a beautiful coat, or sometimes it was even two sentients who were just starting to explore each other.
This was a part of her duties as the Goddess of love and since she didn't have a temple or holy site to rest, she can only find calm areas of the world with more peaceful environments.
However, Sol felt like she was truly meant for this type of work, and greatly enjoyed spending everyday spreading love and positivity to her children.
Sol arrived at the entrance of the canyon, making no attempt to hide herself. The guard dwarves immediately recognized her as a powerful being since they had a very long history with the "pointed beasts". They threw down their weapons immediately to make sure she did not view them as a threat.
Sol spoke out,"I have come with a reward for your chief. Please guide me to him."
This was godspeak, which every creature could inherently understand, so the pair knew what she said. The guard on the left quickly replied,"Yes! He is currently in his residence!"
They guided Sol to a bigger than average home compared to the other homes within the cave and Rust quickly came out.
Rust immediately could feel the divine talent and bloodline on Sol and so immediately bowed down, prostrated himself, saying,"This humble servant did not realize a goddess was arriving! Please forgive me!"
Sol warmly said,"You may stand and speak with me, Sir Rust Hephaestus."
Rust slowly got up and then, slightly bewildered at realizing it said,"A goddess is addressing my title?"
Sol smiled and nodded, replying,"Of course, you and your people have shown me the utmost respect upon my arrival, it is natural for me to return that kindness."
Rust smiled wryly and said,"The gods are fair.."

Rust then shook his head and ordered a maid,"Go and bring the goddess our finest fruit-beer. The new batch that Poctolar made! Tell him I owe him a favor!"
Sol smiled and said,"You really don't have too.."
Rust smiled and said,"I know you can probably grab this at any time with some god power or whatever, but please, let me forever be able to brag that I drank with a goddess! Har Har Har!"
As Rust laughed stoically at his own joke, Sol found him funny so she replied,"Well then, let us see if the myths are true about Dwarven beer.."
Rust whipped around when he heard that as he quickly asked,"What myths??"
Sol chuckled and said as if it was common knowledge,"Oh you're funny! Everyone knows the myths and legends that dwarves have stomachs of Iron and how they would always brag that being drunk actually helped them forge!"
Rust was stunned as he had never even thought about consuming so much alcohol at once! On top of that, it was recorded to help with forging?! Rust stored this information in the back of his mind and then changed the subject.
Rust asked Sol,"My lady, what brings you to my humble abode?"
Sol smiled and said,"The Ultima has sent me as he was very satisfied with your mission."
Rust was a little shocked and said,"Really? The Ultima Father said I had done a great job?" This compliment meant a great deal as the Goddess was more or less the Ultima herself, so her saying that made him truly proud of all the hardwork and effort he had put in.
Sol nodded and responded with,"Yes, he was very pleased. He asked me to come and give you a reward."
Right as she said this, Rusts wife came into the room holding 3 large glasses of fruit-beer.
Rust smiled and said,"Henrietta, this is a goddess, she is here to give me a reward for creating that new weapon and then getting some successors!"
Henrietta nodded and handed the Goddess her drink, saying,"I heard, and rushed over to meet her as well. Sorry for stealing your time dear.."
Rust shook his head and said,"Ah.. it's nothing.."
Sol clocked her head to the side and said,"ah.. I see now.."
The pair looked at her and said,"What? What's wrong?"
Sol sighed and said,"The Ultima sent me to give you a reward, but he didn't tell me what it was I should give you. I understand why he asked ME to do come here now, despite their being closer gods.."
Rust, now worried, asked,"My lady, please tell me what's happening.."
Sol frowned and said slowly,"Your wife has a.. bug..? in her.. baby stomach..? and that's why you can't have dwarfins."
Sol had to navigate the rough language but she got her point across. Ovarian cysts causing pregnancy impossibility.
Rust, eyes now wide open, in utter shock, said,"And my reward?"
Sol downed the fruit beer in one gulp! She tasted it for a moment and let out a refreshing "ah!" sound. Sol then pointed at Henrietta and forcefully cured it using some advanced Qi and Magic techniques. She also went a bit further and targeted Rust's balls with a strengthening effect, making whatever children he does have, stronger than the average Dwarf.
The pair of dwarfs didn't know what happened as nothing seem to change. All that happened was the Goddess point at Henrietta for a few seconds and the at Rust for a couple more!
Sol the said,"Your relationship will now be able to beat children! Congratulations! I have made it, so that the next time you attempt to have a child you will have a gareauntee of pregnancy!"
Rusts eyes watered as this was his biggest problem of his life, as he really wanted a son. However his partner hadn't been able to give him any children at all so far!
Rust was moved and said sincerely,"Thank you goddess! Is there anything we, the Dwarven people, can do for you?"
Remembering her plight from earlier she said,"I have no temple or place of faith on this world yet, have some of your people build a place for me to rest after traveling the world for decades at a time.."
