RISE OF EROS

"You…" Elder Douma tried to speak, but his words did not come out when he saw Elder Anka. The woman's appearance had changed so much over the years, but Douma could still see the same beautiful lady he had known in his youth.

Elder Anka was no different. Aside from his gray hair and long beard, Douma didn't look any different to her. They seemed to be trapped in a memory from over 1,000 years ago and neither of them seemed to find the words to speak.

Although it was not Andrew's place to intervene, he also did not want to stand in the middle of the two elders who were looking at each other as if they were in a staring contest, so he said, "Respected elders, I know that it is difficult for you to find words after so much time, but not saying anything will only make things more uncomfortable."

Andrew's words woke the two elders from their trance and they looked at Andrew with annoyance, as they did not appreciate the interruption, especially Douma. Andrew understood that, but he still didn't stop.

"Why don't you go somewhere more appropriate and talk?" Andrew continued. Despite his annoyance, Douma thought it was a good idea, so he looked at Elder Anka as if asking for her opinion.

Elder Anka smiled showing her agreement and seconds later they disappeared. Andrew breathed a sigh of relief as they left. It is true that within the Heavenly Palace, he is a god, but the aura of these elders is still suffocating, which is why he did not want them around.

Not bothering what they would do, Andrew teleported and appeared again in the Cannaris Palace office, where he found Bita and the other 3 old women, drinking tea and playing with his children.

When Andrew saw his children playing with the old women, he felt a sensation of tenderness, because his children did not have grandparents. Andrew's parents in this world died a long time ago and none of his wives had parents either.

He knows how important a grandfather or grandmother could be in a child's life and in this world, his children only had Carmen as a grandmother and it was nice to see the elderly Amazons play this role even if it was for a short period of time.

The old women who saw Andrew appear, immediately asked, "Were you able to find Douma?", to which Andrew responded by telling them what had happened without hiding anything.

Elder Bita and the others laughed at the story, as they expected something like this to happen, but they quickly changed the topic. "Boy, why don't we talk about arrangements for the future?" said Elder Hacta.

"What do you want to know?" Andrew replied and the old woman began to make her point. In short, they wanted to know what the management of the Heavenly Palace in the black forest would be like.

While it is true that all the Heavenly Palaces were a business, the one in the black forest might not be as functional as the others. The Amazons did not have great wealth like the other races, so establishing a placer house there was a waste of resources.

Understanding this Andrew thought for a moment and then gave a proposal, "Why don't we use it as a transportation station?" These words confused the old women and noticing this, Andrew began to explain.

"Establishing a pleasure house in the black forest will be difficult, as you do not have much money and I honestly doubt that I will be able to get men who meet your standards to extend your family."

Andrew paused and continued, "We'd better set up a group of Amazons every month to use the Heavenly Palace to travel to the Star City and search on their own."

The old women remained silent as if evaluating Andrew's proposal. What he said was true, they had no money since they lived off the forest and had little interaction with the outside world, so they didn't need it.

They also knew that getting strong courtiers like the Amazons liked would make Andrew have to spend a lot of money, something he wouldn't get back with them, so his proposal wasn't bad.

The problem lay in the fact that, if they did this, a decrease in their population could occur, since the Amazons could leave and not return.

Although their race would not become extinct, they would lose their roots and they did not want that. When they made their points Andrew smiled and said, "Well, that can be easily solved. With Elder Anka and Elder Douma in Star City, that problem would be solved."

The old women's eyes widened because they never thought about that. They were always under the illusion that Elder Anka and Douma would only meet occasionally with Andrew's help, but they could also have Elder Anka stay in Star City and supervise the traveling Amazons, while they took care of the forest.

The four old women looked at each other and discussed this topic. In the end, they decided that it was the best option, but they still had to discuss it with Douma and Anka, but they were almost sure that there would be no problem there.

After that, they started discussing some minor details to optimize everything. While they argued, inside the room, Andrew's wives questioned Zany, Kacta, and Sumili.

The three Amazons were overwhelmed by the questioning and Zany couldn't help but ask, "I didn't expect you to be as open as us Amazons when it comes to relationships. Are you really not upset?"

Carolina and the others looked at each other and soon burst into laughter. The three Amazons were stunned by their reactions and could not say anything. Helena, seeing their confusion, asked them, "You know what Andrew is, right?"

Seeing them nod she continued saying, "Then you are clear that Andrew will not only have many more wives, but also concubines. There is no use in bothering him, as long as he loves and respects us."

The Amazons were surprised but had to accept her words as an irrefutable reality. It would be an illusion to believe that Andrew, being a candidate for god of Eros, would not have many more women in the future.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After that, the girls talked about how they met Andrew and everything that had happened during this time. The Amazons were even forced to talk about their sexual relationships.

The Amazons were ashamed to tell their intimate experiences, but Carolina told them, "I was similar to you, but you must understand. Our man is the future god of sex, this topic becomes every day over time, so get used to it."

On the other hand, in a simple house in Star City, Elder Douma, and Elder Anka were sitting opposite each other with a cup of tea in front of them, but despite being alone for quite some time, they had not yet uttered the first word.

Then, Elder Anka decided to break the silence, "Douma, I think it's time to talk." Douma became serious and with a slight nod, he asked, "Then tell me, what is happening? Who is that boy and how do you know him?"

Elder Anka was surprised by the question and couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "Do you mean you don't know about him?", to which Douma replied, "We only spoke once and it wasn't at all pleasant."

Wrinkling her eyebrows Elder Anka said, "Douma, it is better not to be an enemy of him. That boy is a candidate for god and it is thanks to him that the Amazons and Barbarians could unite again."

These words surprised Douma. As a person who lived through the Lost Continent War, he knew very well what a god candidate was and quickly exclaimed, "Now I understand why that brat seemed so strange."

Elder Anka couldn't help but laugh when she heard Douma's words, which made Douma blush a little, but not out of shame, but out of love, because he hadn't seen that smile for centuries, and despite the wrinkles, for him, Elder Anka was still the most beautiful woman in the world.

That's how intense the love of these two is, which is sad that they couldn't see each other for so long. After laughing to her heart's content, Elder Anka said, "Well, Douma, I would like to ask you a favor."

Seeing the serious attitude of Elder Anka, Douma also became serious and lightly nodded at her, letting her know that he was listening to her, so Elder Anka began to make her request.

"Although the barbarians do not have as many population problems as the Amazons, it is obvious that there is still concern about this issue. That was the reason why our races have always been so close for so many years."

The elder Anka paused briefly to see Douma's reaction and seeing that he was paying attention to her, she continued, "Young Andrew can facilitate the bridge between both races, so I would like you not to bother him, but to protect him".

Elder Douma understood perfectly what Elder Anka meant and although he agreed with her proposal, he still felt a little sad, because from her words he understood that she was not planning to stay with him and that made him a little sad.

Elder Anka noticing this couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?", to which Douma responded with another question, "Won't you stay with me?" Elder Anka was caught off guard by that question, but she still responded, "You know my obligations, however, I can visit often."

Although it was not what Elder Douma wanted to hear, he would have to make do. Letting out a sigh, he nodded his head, signaling that he accepted the proposal, which made Elder Anka smile and say, "Then let's go back to talk to the boy," but Douma immediately refused, saying, "That can wait. Why don't we talk a little more? It's been 1,000 years, let's enjoy it a little longer."
