Looking at the golden tree before him, Godwyn took a step forward. The moment he did, he felt as if he was passing through a wet film, but looking at his body, he saw that no part of it was wet.
Turning his attention back to what was ahead of him, a Greek temple appeared in his field of vision. It was made of pure marble, just like the temples erected in Ancient Greece. The smell of wet earth hung in the air, as if it had rained the night before.
Godwyn didn't hesitate and moved forward, his steps echoing in the particularly silent environment. Wrinkling his nose, he smelled another scent. A scent that resembled a serene and cold night, a comfortable silence, and the rustling of trees.
A yellow line appeared on the ground, extending to the temple and disappearing where his vision could no longer see. Godwyn knew that the hostess of the place was showing him the way to reach her.
The entire journey took five minutes, until finally, a garden appeared before Godwyn. There were all kinds of flowers imaginable. The air was so pure that no place in the world would ever have such pure air.
In the middle of the garden, a marble dome could be seen, with vines entwined around the pillars supporting the marble dome, giving it an elegant and natural appearance.
However, it was who was sitting in the dome that caught Godwyn's attention. An incredibly tall woman, three meters tall. Her long brown hair fell in soft waves to the ground.
She looked slender, without voluptuous curves, but with a body so beautiful that it would fascinate any being. Godwyn understood why Uranus and Cronus were so fascinated by Gaia, the goddess was truly a forbidden fruit, tempting anyone to take a bite and taste the forbidden pleasure.
"Your Majesty." Godwyn greeted Gaia with a smile as he placed his hand on his chest and bowed before the main deity of the Greek Pantheon, the goddess who gave rise to almost all divine beings in Greece.
The woman's emerald green eyes turned to Godwyn, making his body stiffen for a moment. There was no malice, but he still felt like an extremely insignificant being before the earth goddess.
"Son of Frigg." The goddess's voice was majestic like the earth, but equally warm like the source of life for all living beings. "You've caused quite a stir recently."
There was no anger or any other malicious feeling when the Earth Goddess spoke, but Godwyn showed a helpless smile.
"I didn't want to use this, but extreme measures are always necessary in times of danger." Godwyn showed no fear and spoke in a tired, even helpless tone.
"I can imagine, Ymir's grandson is not exactly an easy opponent." Gaia commented, smelling a beautiful tulip, appreciating the scent of the flower.
"However." She looked at Godwyn with a deep gaze. "Don't you think your plans are as simple as they seem, after all, you are somewhat similar to your father."
Godwyn frowned and did not hide his displeasure at being compared to the monster that was his Father. "Forgive me for being impolite, Your Majesty, but I have nothing similar to him."
Gaia looked at Godwyn calmly and said calmly. "Godwyn the Golden, the Demigod who befriended many gods, dwarves, and even elves."
"You say I'm wrong, but how many died to fulfill your ambition?" Gaia asked in a gentle tone, but Godwyn's eyes narrowed.
"You have the same look as Kronos, Zeus, and Typhon, the desire for power. I just don't know if that desire will be enough for you to point your blade at your relatives, whom you deeply love." Making the flower wither, Gaia squeezed the poor flower and crushed it until it turned to ashes.
"The Queen seems interested in my life." Godwyn said with a smile without answering Gaia's question. He didn't want to talk about it, especially with a woman as dangerous as Gaia.
"Interested?" Gaia murmured, looked at Godwyn and said. "You are right. I am really interested in you, the mere demigod who made the Allfather himself fear."
"A man's mystery is always his greatest charm, my queen." Godwyn replied with a courteous and elegant smile, never showing any feeling before the Earth Goddess.
"It's been a long time since anyone flirted with me." Gaia said, with a low laugh. In her eyes, Godwyn's words were a subtle and funny flirtation.
"A man must be blind not to show interest in the goddess." Godwyn replied innocently and spoke sweet words.
"Frigg warned that you were dangerous to women, it seems it's true, you always say what they most want to hear." Gaia commented with a smile, looking at the beautiful boy before her.
He really is beautiful, his face, despite being young, looked like the work of an artist who meticulously sculpted. He had a gentle and inviting aura around him, making anyone want to approach him.
"Godwyn, don't be too cheeky." Mimir whispered to Godwyn, who was casually talking and flirting with a goddess as powerful and dangerous as Gaia.
The Earth Goddess's eyes stared at the head attached to Godwyn's belt with a slightly interesting look.
"I remember seeing a young god in the Faerie Pantheon, he liked to play pranks among mortals and gods. Who would have thought that young man would become just a talking head." Gaia said, remembering the little god she saw when she visited Titania.
Mimir couldn't help but be startled by Gaia's words, he desperately tried to remember if he dared to play near a goddess of such high caliber and was relieved that he never offended such a powerful goddess.
"Fate is often cruel, Mother of Earth." Mimir replied with a nostalgic and regretful look. He regretted many of his choices, but what good are regrets if not to remember one's own mistakes?
"Yes, fate is cruel." Gaia said with a somewhat cold voice, remembering certain extremely unpleasant events.
"But, you seem full of hope for the future, is it because of this young man?" Gaia asked, turning her gaze back to Godwyn, who dared not interrupt the conversation between the two gods.
"Yes, even if I die, I have to help this young man achieve his ambitions." Mimir said with a joyful laugh, full of hope for the future.
"An Usurper." Gaia said with a smile, trying to see all the secrets hidden in this small body. The secrets that Odin desperately coveted.
However, in her long life of millions of years, it was still the first time a Demigod carried such a strong destiny.
"Do you want to usurp your father's throne and become the new generation of God King of the Norse Pantheon?" Gaia asked with a gentle and warm smile.
Godwyn's body bristled in an instant, red flags began to wave in his mind. The moment Gaia spoke those words, he knew that the Earth Goddess was creating a conspiracy with him at the center.
"Do you fear me?" Gaia covered her mouth and laughed with elegance and gentleness. But, her smile did not reach her eyes, which stared at Godwyn, noticing the fleeting caution and fear in his expression.
"My queen has an exemplary reputation, how can I feel fear?" Godwyn said with a stiff smile. He obviously couldn't say how bad Gaia's reputation was, after all, he wanted to get out of this scary place alive.
Gaia let out a laugh containing a bit of sarcasm and happiness. It had really been a long time since she had laughed so much, or perhaps she had never laughed so much in her immortal life.
"Sit down and drink with me." Gaia said, gesturing to the seat in front of her.
How could Godwyn refuse? He sat in the chair and placed Mimir's head on the table, he looked at Gaia, his slightly nervous gaze hiding a calm as deep as a still lake.
A cup of ambrosia appeared before Godwyn, which he took a sip of without any hesitation.
Seeing that Gaia was not in a hurry to tell him why she had called him to her house, Godwyn did not ask and continued to talk with the Earth Goddess, updating her on modern works and some jokes, making the atmosphere light and fun.
