Noheme ◊ Fairy Tail ◊ H-Rank
Once again, the days started slowing down, yet would leave little to no memories that would allow the Vixen to feel like any time actually passed. Right now, each day was a bit of a drag. But once it was over, it was almost as if that day never even happened. Distant events started feeling like they happened just yesterday and nothing new was happening. Were these the signs of the girl’s increasing age? No, surely not. In reality, she was thousands of years old and days or even years would not make much difference to her in this way. It was something a little different.
Walking distance away from the Mountain Village there stood a big, yet somewhat humble looking oriental mansion. Due to the nature of these mountains, it often snowed and even now, the building was mostly covered in the white powder. While not too known in the rest of Fiore, locals already knew very well what this building was. That is a fairly new Hotel and restaurant that also provided natural Hot Springs. A luxurious establishment that was built by a girl known as Eris Sytry. A name that Noheme used when introducing herself to complete strangers. But these days, she was actually embracing her true name more than ever.
She was a moon goddess that originated in the Void between worlds. Eventually receiving power from a Miracle Demon, she was able to create an Astral Realm. A world much like Earthland, but consisting only of Islands that floated in the air. This realm was now mostly abandoned due to the many unfortunate circumstances. Something that resulted in the goddess now taking residence in this world, Earthland. And after she received power that could rival the strongest individuals in this world, she decided to settle down. Not for good, but she was spending a lot of her days in this establishment of hers.
Exchanging the action-packed days of being with other mages or alone and fighting for her life for the quiet and long days of doing almost nothing. She had hired plenty of staff to take care of the guests and the only real excitement she had in her life right now was occasionally peeking into the female section of her hot springs and admiring the beauty of her costumers. After all that, one should not have any trouble understanding just why the girl felt so alone and lonely from time to time, her days dragging on without anything going on.
But today was to be different. Despite being a proud owner of this place now, she did still go out into the field from time to time to enjoy some of the more carnal desires. Some time ago, she had received a message about a large army of monsters advancing to more populated areas from the Fat Monsterland. Wanting to see it for herself, she had moved to the battlefield and started fighting the monsters herself. And to her luck, she encountered an old friend along with his group there. Together, they destroyed a considerable portion of the enemy forces.
And along with the rest of the mages from this land, they eventually pushed the monsters back completely without that many causalities on their side. It was good news to hear for sure, and Noheme did feel a bit of pride for helping, but mainly for the fact that the younger generations of mages were capable of defending even against threats of such scale. This world became pretty dear to her, so she wished to protect it by passing on the torch of power to others. To teach the young mages how to properly fight and defend the land they owned.
Today, there would be another trial. She had one of her servants gather information about the Magical Council and its movement, as well as the monsters that were pushed back. While they were no longer advancing, they were still present in the Monsterland, hiding and increasing their numbers again. And time to remove them for good was approaching quickly. Taking a piece of paper with the location from her servant, the golden Kitsune smiled. All nine of her golden tails would sway in the space behind her as she sat on a royal looking couch in her room.
“Good job. Go and enjoy the spring on the house for today as a reward, dear. I won’t be around for the rest of today.” Dismissing her servant, she would require a moment of time alone as she prepared herself. Well, there wasn’t really much that she needed to prepare. Mostly just her own will, the fact that she would once again enter combat. A little stretch before she would transport herself. And soon enough, shadows in the room would start gathering beneath her divine form, her physical form sinking into them and becoming one with the Earth.
Only a few seconds later, she would emerge from shadows in Fat Monsterland and not too far from one of the monster bases. She still wore her white and purple oriental wear, but there was a single katana by her side now. Her magic was already active, her magical energy unable to be felt by those who were of lower rank than herself. However, she made no true attempt at remaining hidden for now. She knew from her servant’s report that there was an official operation from the council going on.
And as such, she was interested in seeing if there would be any young and strong mages here, attempting to bring justice to the monsters and save their homes from their aggression. Walking on the plain and barren land, she looked around and sighed out. If there were any, she would probably sense them and they would eventually see her figure in the distance. Thanks to the many tails coming from her lower back, her figure was quite large and very hard to spot even from distance. And, well… it was always much more pleasant to be in someone’s company rather than going at it alone.
