As Quinus and Rya lay there in each other's arms, she was already starting to drift off.
'Hmm... I'm not alone. And she's a beautiful dark elf. We'll protect each other, Rya. No matter what this world throws at us,' Quinus thought as he closed his eyes and drifted off to some of the best sleep he has had in a while.
***
High up in the clouds were two goddesses observing Rya sleeping in the arms of Quinus. Nils and Nebulus, also known as the Twin of Mournhold, are second-generation Dark Elven Gods of Tertius who were busy trying to complete the summoning ritual for Hiro's soul.
"She ovulating..." Nebulus said as she looked down at Rya.
"Yes, we know. I've been monitoring her every move since she arrived here. It looks like she just got lucky today," Nils replied.
Nils closed her eyes and started mumbling words that none of the other gods knew about.
After a few seconds, Hiro's soul went flying down to Tertius and straight towards Rya. Flying straight into her uterus.
"Nuh! Mmmmmmhhhh..." Rya moaned as she slept.
It moved so fast that no one could see it besides the gods.
Then Nils opened her eyes and smiled, "I think I've done it. Now we just wait for the results."
Nebulus was excited because the ritual hadn't worked in 1000 years.
"Sweet! I get my summoned back!" Nebulus cheered.
"Well, mine is much stronger than yours. I guess you should have taken care of her better," Nils said as she gave Nebulus a smack on the head.
Nebulus was furious but calmed herself before she exploded.
"What are you even talking about? We both weren't taking care of our summons, you jerk! This is all your fault!" Nebulus yelled at her sister.
"Fine, I will give you the credit that you deserve. But I am still going to enjoy what comes out of this," Nils laughed as she floated up from the clouds.
"Shut up! You're were just lucky!" Nebulus screamed as she followed her sister.
"Haah... Will you two be quiet? Your bickering is getting on my nerves," said the human goddess of balance named Iyomelka.
"Iyomelka! I see that my summoned saved yours so everything should be square. No harm, no foul... Well, almost. Anyway, I hope this proves that we are on good terms," Nils said with a smile.
Iyomelka looked at Nils with an annoyed look, "Humility is something you're lacking in Nils. If I'm not mistaken you were the one who caused all of this trouble in the first place?"
"Oh come on, Iyomelka. Everything turned out well! My summoned is alive and accepting herself now. Your summoned is alive and is in love with my summoned. Plus! She's pregnant with your summoned's essence and to top it off. We were able to use a resurrection ritual on Nebulus' summoned! Win freaking win freaking win!" Nils said as she pointed at Iyomelka who looked unimpressed.
"Well, your right. I'm interested in seeing how my summoned's daughter will turn out. But can you answer me this? How are Yoona and your dark elves fairing these days?" Iyomelka asked.
"Yoona and my elves? Ahh? I-I've been focused on Rya. I'm sure they are doing fine though," Nils said, not really knowing the situation with her demi-god and her elves.
"Yeah! I'm sure our dark elves have been crushing it!" Nebulus added.
Iyomelka still looked at them with an unamused look but raised one brow.
"You know, it's good to check in on your people from time to time," Iyomelka said.
The Twin of Mournhold started to feel uneasy from Iyomelka's statement. But they refused to show that they were nervous.
"Oh yeah. That's right. We were just about to do that right, Neb," Nils said trying to act casual.
"Y-Yeah! We were just about to do that if you weren't in the way," Nebulus agreed.
Iyomelka shook her head, "I don't know how you two have survived on your own. The fates must be looking out for both of you."
"Excuse me? What the hell are you talking about?" Nils said as she became angry.
"Iyomelka! Don't make fun of us! We've survived quite well on our own thank you very much!" Nebulus said with a glare.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Iyomelka sighed and gave up on the two. "Then you should look at what's been happening to your people the last two weeks," Iyomelka said as she disappeared before Nils and Nebulus could do anything.
Nebulus was confused, "What the fuck did she mean by that?"
"I'm gonna find out! I'll go see how our dark elves are doing," Nils said as she flew southwest of the Fiafyr Kingdom.
Within seconds the Twins were flying over the remains of the Sorellia capital. Which lay in ruins from the paladins of the Divine Three.
"No, no, NO! This is all wrong! Why didn't you tell me this was happening, Nebulus!" Nils yelled as she started flying fast.
"ME!? You get angry when I try and help! You always told me to not get involved when someone asks for my help!" Nebulus shot back.
They continued arguing for a few minutes before realizing they weren't going to fix this problem by continuing.
"I'm sorry okay! I shouldn't have blamed you. I was selfish about being the one that everyone looked up to me as their goddess. I should have had you been seen by Yoona," Nils said with a sigh.
Nebulus was touched, "Thanks. But what are we going to do? Those paladins have killed so many of our people and Yoona has abandoned the city with the rest of the surviving dark elves."
"Okay! We just need to focus on fixing this. We're going to need to find some help in order to save our Dark Elves," Nils said with a determined tone.
Nebulus nodded, "Maybe we can communicate with Yoona and tell her to take our people to the Kingdom of Fiafyr? With Rya marrying the crown prince. The dark elves could take sanctuary there until the paladin war ends."
Nils thought about it for a second, "That's a good idea. But the Divine Three are trying to marry off one of their princesses to the prince. They might attack our people at the border of Fiafyr. Plus I can't contact her after using up my primordial essence to resurrect Hiro. Do you have any primordial essence, Neb?"
Nebulus shook his head, "I don't. All of mine was used to connect to my summoned again."
Nils had a pained look on her face, "Neb, I hate to say it, but we have only one option right now."
"Alright. What's that?" Nebulus asked with a worried look written over her face.

Back over the Kingdom of Fiafyr. Iyomelka was happily meditating while sitting in the clouds and watching over her subjects.
'Heeeeh! My summoned has bonded with another summoned! I'm glad I gave him that passive ability to make any female he loves to start to ovulate regardless of race. It was worth the sacrifice!' she laughed to herself as she saw a handsome man cuddling with the beautiful dark elf.
'Oh yes, there is nothing better than having a strong and loyal mate. Especially when you know your mate is willing to die for you. You are a lucky girl, Rya. Make lots of children with him okay?' Iyomelka thought happily.
Her happiness lasted for a brief moment when two annoying dark elf goddesses came roaring at her.
"IYOMELKA! Iyomelka! We need your help!" Nils pleaded as jumped and grabbed Iyomelka's left leg followed by Nebulus grabbing her right leg.
'Will I ever find a moment of peace! Why can't they just leave me alone!' Iyomelka screamed and closed her eyes tightly.
A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and looked down at the dark elf goddesses staring up at her like crying, children.
"What do you need now? I am currently enjoying a very enjoyable meditation in the sky. Perhaps you could ask that dumbass Qwilfish for help!" she growled while glaring at Nils.
"We need your help to save the Dark Elves! Please! We're sorry for not listening to your wisdom and for not giving you the respect you deserve! We're sorry! Please help us! PLEASE!" Nebulus cried as he leaned against her legs.
Nils was nodding her head in agreement with her sister.
Upon looking at their sad pitiful faces, Iyomelka sighed deeply, 'Is this why you pitied them, Arias? By the void, they make it hard to abandon them. Fine!' she thought to herself, 'I'll help them within reason.'
She opened her mouth, "Very well. But this will be a one-time thing and I won't use my summoned unless absolutely necessary. Agreed?"
Both goddesses nodded their heads in agreement.
"Thank you Iyomelka! Mother said you were the best and now we see why! We'll never take you for granted again! Thank you Iyomelka!" Nils yelled and hugged her legs tightly.
Iyomelka couldn't help but smile seeing the happy tears in Nils' and Nebulus' eyes.
'You better not be playing me? Because I'll show you what a real goddess looks like!' she grumbled internally while keeping her smile.
"So, what is your request?" she asked and waited for them to reply.
After a couple of seconds, they both spoke.
"Can you use your primordial essence to contact your summoned to relay a message?" Nils asked.
"Yes, I can do that. But I don't want to control my summoned's choices in life," Iyomelka replied.
"Isn't there anything you could do?" Nebulus asked.
"Well, I could contact you're summoned through the fetus growing inside her? But the child needs to be at an age where the mana vein is developed so I can link with her," Iyomelka answered.
"Oh right! Hiro's new body is a halfling and is a part of your people as well as ours! Brilliant! Sister when you were morphing Rya into a dark elf did you keep the same one-in-half, to two-year birthing cycle as the other female dark elves?" Nebulus asked.
"I changed it up a bit. She should be giving birth around 12 to 14 months?" Nils replied.
"Okay, so I should be able to mind link with Rya in five months or so. When the fetus has grown strong enough," Iyomelka added, "Is there anything you two can do to help? I mean I will only be bringing you two along when we enter her dreams. That's the amount of help I'm willing to give."
Nils and Nebulus thought for a moment before Nebulus spoke first, "Well, I think Rya could borrow time-space magic from my summoned. I need some time to recharge a little bit of my primordial essence before I'm sure."
Nils looked to her sister, "Your talking about the passive ability of shared magical affinities? That's brilliant! That is something no God thinks to give to their champion! It would definitely make things easier for Rya to blink over to Yoona and the others! And then she can use her golems to pound those asshole paladins!"
"It must not be easy to replenish your primordial essence with such low followers now. How long does it take to get enough essence to create a passive skill?" Iyomelka asked.
"I think I'll get enough in two mouths? Maybe three, worst case scenario?" Nebulus replied.
"Yeah, hopefully, I can get enough to contact Yoona about Rya in that same amount of time too. It won't be a long massage but it will have to do. I can only pray to the fates that Rya doesn't kill herself or the baby," Nils said with a sigh.

Rya was in her bed resting, when she felt a slight flutter in her womb. 'Augh! I can't believe how hard and big Quin's dick was. My pelvis is feeling it right now!' Rya thought.
Rya blushed a bright red as the fluttering continued. 'Augh! M-Maybe I should do something about it?'
