500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"Don't test me, woman. I will steal this creature from you! I am more of a woman than you will ever be!" Elfinia snapped, but Goldy started to giggle.

"You girls are hilarious! Can I go with her so I can watch?!" Goldy asked, and Tallia nodded.

"It would be best for you to get to know Galio. You will have to be connected with him because he might need your strength," Tallia explained, and Goldy nodded.

"Yeah, I heard about your kiss with her! How was it?" Goldy asked, but Tallia shrugged.

"I can't honestly remember. Things happened so fast, but now I feel like there is a gap in my memories of what happened," Tallia explained as she tried to recall what had actually happened, but there was a wall stopping her inside her mind.

"That is interesting! Maybe you should be trying to spend some more time with him?" Goldy asked, but Tallia shook her head.

"I have clearly already done enough damage to it because I have no recollection of the feeling that Galio has for me. He doesn't even know what we were, but yet he still seems to care about me," Tallia said, sighing and putting a hand to her forehead.

"You have, but hiding here isn't going to make things better. Elfinia will go and get to know him, but you should reconsider. This Galio is an amazing creature, and the fact that it wants you, one of the grumpiest women, should mean something to you," Goldy explained, and Tallia looked away.

"I will consider it, but for now, I will give Galio some space," Tallia said, feeling the pain in her heart again.

"Do not wait too long, human. Creatures of your race are fleeting, but I think this one is not. If you are going to treat it this way, then I shall take the creature as my own," Elfinia stated, and Goldy started to giggle again.

"You are going to have to fight your daughter for that, but Galio is also not one that likes bossy women. You know that the creature put your daughter over his knee and then spanked her like an unruly child? That will be you if you are not careful!" Goldy giggled, and Elfinia gave her a dangerous sideways look that made Goldy put up her hands in defense. "I am just telling you the way it is, cranky. Don't glare at me; I am not the one that will be making your ass red!"

"I am not called the strongest for nothing! My daughter is a failure, so it might make sense why she needs the help of this creature, but I am a Goddess! This creature will bow to me!" Elfinia declared, but Goldy started to laugh harder.

"You know that the creature bound Tallia and then kicked her off the top of a hundred and fifty-foot wall without a second thought? Bow to you? I will be surprised if you're not the one bowing to her!" Goldy giggled, almost falling over, making Elfinia angry.

"Not everyone is like you, Dwarf. You hide in your mountain when things get tough, just like always. I am surprised that you are brave enough to even come here!" Elfinia snapped, but Goldy just smiled and turned up her nose at the Elf.

"Talk is cheap, Elf. Say what you will about my people, but we at least know how to keep our mouths shut when it is the right time for it. You elves lord your supremacy over everyone, thinking that you are actually better than the rest. Truth is, you are all lonely creatures that are slowly dying off because you can't even stand each other!" Goldy snapped back, and Tallia signed.

She was not in the mood to listen to them bicker. Tallia had her own problems she was trying to think through.

"I have given the two of you permission to enter my island; now be gone. I wish to be alone for a while," Tallia said, and the other two stopped bickering.

"Fine, but you are coming with me, Dwarf! I will show you how a real Goddess acts and how people are meant to treat us!" Elfinia declared, grabbing Goldy, opening a portal, and tossing her through, but then she turned back to Tallia before leaving. "Watch this, human. You could learn a thing or two."

Tallia watched the annoying Elf leave, but when the portal closed, she smiled to herself. She would definitely be watching. Elfinia still didn't get that this creature was not something that could be controlled. It was hard enough to even give Galio directions if it wasn't in his interests.

Goldy landed on her feet and then turned to glare through the portal at Elfinia, but someone asked her a question.

"What are you doing in my shop, Goldy?" Listenia asked as the golden Dwarf Goddess turned around with a smile.

"Wow, you have really grown up, Listy! It has been a long time since you have seen your Aunt, and this is the welcome I get?!" Goldy exclaimed, faking a hurt look.

"If you are here, then that only means one thing," Listenia said and then groaned as her mother walked through the portal.

"Yes, that means you are actually going to have a conversation with me, daughter!" Elfinia growled as the portal closed behind her.

"Get out of my shop. I don't want to talk to you, and you are not welcome here," Listenia said and turned her back to the two Goddesses.

"I feel like we should have made a bet over this before coming, but this is exactly how I imagined things to go!" Goldy giggled, but Elfinia was clearly not impressed.

"How dare you talk to me like this?! I am your mother!" Elfinia demanded.

"Really? Last time we spoke, you said that an embarrassment like me that couldn't use a bow wasn't fit to be called a daughter of yours! Make up your mind, but do it outside of my shop, or I will call Tallia to kick you off the island!" Listenia snapped, and Tallia appeared through another portal.
