Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Chapter 2297: Rendezvous

Before heading to the South to meet with Odin, Vahn took a moment to visit Xysteria, Silva, Krona, and the new inhabitants of their Realm.

Back in the Actualized World of Runeterra, the Vastaya had been among the first species to walk the physical plane. They could thrive in virtually any environment, so, after consulting with Silva and Krona, Vahn allowed them to move into the relatively safe and burgeoning reality. With Xysteria occupying a separate texture, the only threats they had to worry about moving forward were themselves…

Teleporting to the heart of the newly created Vastayan settlement, a burgeoning forested city known as Omikayalan, Vahn found the deer-like Lillia tending to a large, flowering tree that exuded pink and blue mist.

Sensing Vahn's presence, Lillia's oversized ears twitched as she looked back, a bashful smile developing across her face as she said, "Welcome back, Vahn. Leilani is out exploring right now…"

Adopting a smile of his own, Vahn sauntered over to Lillia's side as he said, "I came to confer with the Elders. I just sensed you were feeling a little lonesome, so I decided to stop by."

"Oh…"

With Vahn wrapping his hands around her Cervitaurian waist, a potent blush spread through Lillia's face. Even after several years had passed, she still wasn't accustomed to intimacy. Fortunately, at least for the time being, it was just her and Vahn present.

Resting her forehead against Vahn's, Lillia explained, "The Vastaya don't dream the same way as humans. It's just a little quiet, that's all…"

As the Daughter of the Dreaming Tree, Lillia spent most of her time within a veritable dreamscape comprised of countless peoples' dreams. With the population of Omikayalan a mere 2,581 Vastaya and Yordles, the ordinarily boundless dreamscape felt small and restrictive.

"Mmm…if you'd like, I can talk with Silva about increasing the number of Spirits present in the world. Now that the Vastaya have made themselves home, it's a good time to start promoting the growth of other lifeforms."

Shaking her head, Lillia replied, "No, it's better if things develop naturally. Besides, I'm never truly alone. I have Leilani and lots of people I can call my friends…"

Upon mention of her rather adventurous daughter, the faint melancholy in Lillia's eyes faded away. Before meeting Vahn, she had been the first and only member of her species, the Dream Fawn. With his help, the Dreaming Tree was able to produce seventeen other blossoms, each becoming one of Lillia's sisters. As for Leilani, she was the first natural-born Dream Fawn in existence, an impossibility made flesh thanks to Vahn's 'efforts.'

"Well, as long as you're happy…"

Punctuating his words, Vahn planted a kiss on Lillia's forehead. She was one of the few women he associated with that didn't like kissing. Instead, they rested their foreheads against one another or touched noses…

…

…

.

After parting with Lillia, Vahn checked in on Leilani to find her exploring one of the unmapped regions of Silva's surface with several others. He didn't want to interrupt their adventure, so he only spent a few minutes observing them before teleporting to his next destination, a misty forest perpetually shrouded in gloom.

"Hmm…?"

Though he could have easily evaded, Vahn remained stationary as several arrows formed from ethereal blue energy impacted his body. At that exact moment, a massive, pitch-black shadow emerged from the mist, charging toward him as a ghostly blue, wolfish maw formed beneath a bone-white, vaguely sheep-like mask.

Extending his hand, Vahn said, "Sit." in a firm, authoritative tone. When he did, the shadowy creature, resembling a massive wolf's head without any limbs, promptly ceased its charge. Immediately after, a somewhat goofy expression developed across the creature's face as it cocked its head to the side and asked, "Father? What are you doing here…?" in a curious yet bone-chilling tone of voice.

Answering in Vahn's stead, a cold and feminine voice, seemingly echoing from every direction at once, declared, "He has no doubt come to visit us, dear Wolf."

Accompanying the echoing voice, a petite, 122cm tall, vaguely female figure covered in bluish-white fur emerged from the dense mist. Her face was covered by an obsidian black mask reminiscent of a wolf's visage, but her body was distinctly that of a faun, complete with drooping, sheep-like ears and bluish-black, hoofed feet.

Sending shivers through Vahn's body and causing a wry smile to develop across his face, the bow-wielding Aspect removed her mask to reveal a vaguely humanoid face that quickly became more feminine as she asked, "Have you come to breed me, Father…?"

Though he understood why many of the Aspects referred to him as their father, Vahn maintained a wry smile as he answered, "Lamb…I see you're still as candid as always…"

Evidently anticipating an affirmative response, Lamb's body transformed from a vaguely feminine figure to a comparably voluptuous frame as she replied, "Many days have passed since our last union. Our body yearns for your essence…"

Placing her hand on Vahn's chest, Lamb's mesmeric, bluish-purple eyes exuded a fierce, predatory hunger as she sensed the tremendous vitality coursing through him. She was one half of the Aspect of Death, so there was nothing more alluring to her than the inextinguishable life force held within Vahn's body. She craved it with every fiber of her being.

Unsurprised by Lamb's behavior, Vahn manifested a ghostly white rabbit that immediately caught the attention of Wolf, the amorphous black wolf that made up the second half of the entity known as Kindred.

Compelled by his instincts, Wolf immediately pursued the phantom rabbit as Vahn reached up to cup Lamb's modest yet remarkably soft left breast. Her fur was uncannily cold to the touch, giving off the impression of death itself, but Vahn had come to appreciate it quite a bit. After all, many of his most cherished and beloved companions had an affinity related to death, ice, or yin elemental energy…

"Turn around…"

Understanding that Lamb didn't care for foreplay one bit, Vahn compelled her to turn around. When she did, she immediately leaned forward slightly before reaching back to spread her perky, white, fur-covered cheeks. This caused her goat-like tail to curl upward, revealing the rather peculiar sight of her glowing, bluish-purple anus and labia.

Replacing Lamb's left hand with his own, Vahn spread her open with his thumb as he inserted his glans against her frigid, neon purple entrance. A foreboding chill promptly pervaded his lower body, but it was immediately overcome by the intense heat exuding from the very core of his being.

More so as a response to the heat pervading her body than the fact she was being pried open by a large and invasive object, a loud and sonorous moan escaped Lamb's lips. At the same time, the runic patterns covering her outer thighs and ears lit up as Vahn unhesitantly filled her insides full of his 'vital essence.' He was far from finished with her, but he knew Lamb was more interested in accepting his seed than having sex.

Presenting her hands so that Vahn could grasp her wrists, unrestrained gasps of pleasure emanated from Lamb's throat every time the former's hips impacted her rump. She really enjoyed this position as it allowed her to entrust everything to Vahn without having to worry about maintaining her facial transformation or covering him with her drool.

Fortunately for Lamb, Vahn was also rather fond of the position as he had always enjoyed the sight of a woman's backside. It was even better when said woman had a tail, so while Wolf was busy chasing down a rabbit that was nearly twice as fast as he was, Vahn continuously pumped Lamb full of his vital essence. Afterward, the two of them cuddled for a while at the base of a gnarled tree, silently enjoying the eerie yet relaxing ambiance of the mist-filled forest…

Though there were still quite a few people he felt like spending time with, Vahn promptly departed the Realm of his children after his encounter with Lamb. The timer for his Quest counted down regardless of whether or not he was in an alternate reality or an Actualized World, so he couldn't afford to 'play around' as much as he used to.

Manifesting in response to Vahn's introspection, Sis, appearing in her more feline form, said, "You shouldn't force yourself, Vahn. I understand your desire to wrap things up and return home, but you may end up hitting a wall if you try too hard and fail to achieve your objective."

Before answering Sis's words, Vahn embraced her in his arms and planted a lasting kiss on her lips. When they separated, nearly nine had passed as he answered, "Perhaps. However, what's the point of having all the time in the world if I can't spend it with the people I care about most? I'm tired of not being able to see my children, Sis…"

Though he had plenty of children at this point, knowing there were those he couldn't interact with left Vahn feeling bitter and melancholic. He now possessed more than enough power to protect the things he cared about, so he wanted to reunite his family before completely caving to his whims.

Understanding Vahn's thoughts, a caring yet exasperated sigh escaped from Sis's throat as she tenderly caressed his face. His happiness was the only thing she cared about, so she was more than willing to do everything in her power to make his dreams a reality.

"Before we head out, we should retrieve Fenrir. Depending on how things develop, she may be able to acquire the Origin of Fenrir. It would also be advantageous to inform the Templated Olympians to be on standby since there is a reasonably high probability that Mount Olympus will antagonize you during your stay."

"Hmm…"

While cradling Sis in his embrace, Vahn's thoughts wandered to the South Side. Zeus and Mount Olympus might not have taken action directly, but they had allowed Jason and the Argonaut Community to target the Sage Dragon's Hearth during his promotional Gift Game. That was tantamount to targetting his family and loved ones, so Vahn couldn't just let them off.

"Very well. I'll have everyone on standby so that we'll be ready to respond the moment something happens. But who knows? At this point, I may end up ripping Zeus limb from limb using my bare hands…"

Since Loi-chan had revealed Zeus's intentions, any goodwill the God may have had with Vahn was gone. The errant fool wanted to forge an alliance by marrying off their children. While such arrangements were relatively common, the thing that annoyed Vahn was that Zeus intended for them to be the suitors. In other words, the lecherous God wanted to get his hands on one of Vahn's daughters, something the latter would never, ever allow.

At this point, the only thing stopping Vahn from storming Mount Olympus was the fact he didn't feel like it. He would rather spend time with his kids or one of his many lovers than engage in acts of violence and brutality. In other words, it was simply inconvenient. Now that he would be visiting the South, however, Vahn no longer had a reason to delay the arrogant God's lesson…
