Chapter 114 Three Golden Chickens

"I don't know what to say about that because I have only just met you, and I have no memories of you or what you call us. All I know is that you are an invasive creature that calls itself a man. You also treat me unlike others do, and I am not used to anyone questioning me or not listening," Tallia explained.

I knew this, but it didn't make it any easier. I was the one that couldn't remember before, but at least I knew deep in my soul that I cared about her. Tallia didn't seem to have the same connection, and that was what hurt me the most.

"Fine, I am just Galio. A man in a world where he doesn't belong. What do you want to talk to me about? I am done trying to convince you of something that didn't mean as much to you as it did me," I said bitterly, crossing my arms.

Tallia looked at me for a while but then nodded, cutting my heart in half.

"The Golems are holding the Living Dolls against their wills. I know this is something that you don't like from your reactions, so I want you to deal with it," Tallia said, and I nodded.

"Sure, is there anything else?" I asked, feeling drained.

"Not that I can think of currently," Tallia said and gestured towards me, a portal opening beside me.

I turned without thought but then stopped when I saw that it led back to the theater.

"Send me somewhere isolated. I will get back to the city on my own," I said without turning back, and the portal changed to where the temple had been in the blasted lands to the south. "Thanks."

----

Tallia watched Galio leave, and once the portal closed, tears started to leak down her face. Tallia put her hands up to wipe her eyes and then brought her hands to her face to look at them.

"Why do his words hurt me so deeply?" Tallia asked out loud, moving her hand over her chest and squeezing at her heart that she could feel being crushed.

There was no answer. There never was.

In the five hundred years that Tallia had served as Goddess to the humans, there never had been. There was no guide or voice to direct her; all choices were her responsibility.

Yet, now this creature was born into the world and turned everything Tallia had ever known upside down. This person knew her and obviously cared deeply for her, but Tallia pushed them away. Why?

"Why can't I just tell him how I really feel?" Tallia asked again.

"Because you are just as big as your attitude," Goldy said as she stepped through a portal.

"What do you want, Dwarf?" Tallia growled, her demeanor instantly reverting.

"Don't get snappy with me, Tallia! Just because you can't tell her how you feel doesn't mean you need to take it out on me! You did this to yourself, and now you are dragging both of you through the dirt! What do you think she is going to do right now?!" Goldy demanded, and Tallia looked away.

"What do I care?"

"You really need a good beating, don't you? Should I ask Elfinia to come and do it?" Goldy demanded, and another portal opened.

"No need to ask; I am already here. Tallia, who is this brute that has my daughter wrapped around her finger?!" The platinum hair Elf Goddess demanded as she walked out into Tallia's throne room.

"Is my throne room a place to just come whenever the two of you feel like it?!" Tallia demanded, but Elfinia stabbed her finger at Tallia.

"Answer my question, human, or I will beat it out of you!" Elfinia growled, and Tallia stood up with an angry look.

"Just try me, Elf! It has been a while since we have seen who was really the strongest!" Tallia snapped, but most of her Positive Energy had been depleted.

The creature was affecting her, and that frustrated Tallia.

"Girls, I am pretty sure there are more important things to talk about than who has the tighter cunt, or why your daughter is opening her legs. A giant monster is about to attack the human island, and There is another Summoning Circle at the end of our dungeon. From what our experts say, there is a month before it will activate. This is a big problem for all of us right now," Goldy said, stepping between the two women.

"I have no idea why your daughter is interested in Galio, but from what I know, she has become his apprentice," Tallia said as she sat back down.

"Apprentice? My daughter? One of the strongest women in the world is now an apprentice?! Why is this the forest time that I am hearing about this?!" Elfinia roared.

"Because you act like this whenever someone tells you something you don't like. If you are so concerned about Galia and Listenia, why don't you go visit him right now?" Goldy asked and then gestured, opening a portal, but there were sounds of explosions echoing from a distance. "You will probably get a chance to see Galio in action since Tallia broke her heart. I am sure that he is changing the landscape out there."

Elfinia glared at the two other women and then turned and walked out into the blasted lands but then came right back.

"Wait, what is that thing out there? It looked human but clearly different, and it was using the Power of Goddesses. How is this possible?" Elfinia demanded once the portal closed and the room was silent again.

"Galio is filled with five hundred lives of knowledge but no memories. Think of the creature as something even greater than ourselves. So much that he can use us as weapons like Galio did with me to fight the Undead Riftwalker," Tallia explained, and Elfinia crossed her arms.

"I need to go talk to my daughter. I require permission to enter the twelfth island, Tallia!" Elfinia demanded, and Tallia nodded.

"Yes, I think you should go visit your daughter, the one that ran away to me and asked for shelter," Tallia said, turning her nose up at the Elf Goddess.
