Chapter 44 You Were The Goddess

"I am Tallia, Goddess of the humans. Yes, I know what you are, but why isn't important. I am happy to see that you have taken such a liking to our world, and I hope you continue to positively affect it. As you can see, the world has no dire problems; even the Lich Queen, Morgana's issue is something that the women of this world have been dealing with for a long time. The problem here is, as you can see, and have been working on," Tallia explained, and I nodded.

"The lack of manner and unity, but I still find it hard to believe that this Goddess or whatever would put so many others at risk! I will be dealing with her, so if there is any way to seal her power off for a while, that would be helpful. If you want me to deal with some of these people, then I am going to need a bit of help," I explained, and she nodded.

"That will not be a problem. Once I leave here, I will be taking her with me to the Council of Twelve. From there, her powers will be sealed, and I will bring her back. I will ask that you watch over and protect her as you are doing with the Vampire girls during that time. You have been very entertaining to watch, but you have still very far to go," Tallia explained, but something was eating at me.

"Did you send me here? I want nothing more than to take you into my arms right now and never let go! I don't know what is wrong with me, but I feel like I know you!" I exclaimed.

After entering this world with no memories, I was clinging to the one faint trace of something. I wasn't sure if it was a memory or what it was, but this person was the only connection that I had to what must have been my old life.

,m "I would love for that just as much as you, Galio, but it isn't time yet. You have much work to do; if you take my hand, this will all end. Please, go out and enjoy all this world has to offer and help all that you can. Also, you can release your spell," Tallia explained to me.

I felt like I was at a loss here, but honestly, what was I supposed to do when the most beautiful woman I had ever met asked me a question like that? How was I to refuse her?

"Every part of me tells me that you are right and that I should just do as you say, but my heart tells me that you are very important. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and now you tell me to go fraternize with an entire world of women? Call me weird, but this all makes no sense to me!" I complained, but Tallia smiled at me, and I felt my legs grow weak.

"I never meant to come and see you yet, but the two of you put me in an awkward position. I will be waiting for you, but only when you have completed your mission. Please help calm the storm that this world is right now," Tallia explained, and I sighed.

"Fine, I get it, I think. I don't really like to have the prize dangled before me like this; not that I think you are my prize. Still, I will do as you asked, but I will never forget you. I will bring the women of this world in line, and then I will come for your hand," I declared, and Tallia smiled brightly as I undid the binding spell I had used.

"You think the Council of Twelve is going to listen to you, human!" The Holy Beholder yelled, but Tallia turned to the creature, her expression darkened.

"You attack a human city without provocation. That is a violation of the Treaty that we all signed. What any of them think personally will not matter. The Treaty was set in place, and everyone signed in blood. We are only going as a formality and a reminder to the rest," Tallia said, making the Holy Beholder flinch back.

"What?! You can't do this to me!! I am the Goddess of the Angels! The Holy Beholder!" The woman screamed, trying to flap her wings, but something was happening to her.

"You were the Goddess of the Angels, but now you have lost that right. Once we return, you will be placed under Galio's supervision until he decides you are ready to return to your position. That is if he believes that you're worthy. If not, then a new Goddess will ascend in your place," Tallia explained as six of The Holy Beholders' wings, and two of her arms burst into light, shattering off her body.

The Holy Beholder collapsed to the ground, but beside her massive eye and undulating hair tendrils, she looked the same as Breya. Part of me felt slightly bad, but at the same time, most of me knew this was the way.

There was no doubt in my mind that many people that I care about would have died if I hadn't acted so quickly. This was nothing short of what she deserved, but this would not be all she got.

"It was wonderful talking to you, Galio. I shall not return with this one, but I will send her back tomorrow morning, so enjoy your night. I am sure we will see more of each other in the future, but I don't want to tease you too much. Farewell, Galio," Tallia said to me and then disappeared with the Holy Beholder in a flash of light.

I was left alone in the center of a fifteen-foot-deep crater with more questions than I had before. Tallia knew I was a man and who I was, but she refused to tell me the connection.

Still, the mission I had been given was one that I would have taken on without being asked, so nothing had changed there. My problem was that I was starting to get a good number of followers and people I needed to take care of.

For now, I turned back and looked up the side of the crater to the group of women all standing around the edge, looking down at me.
