New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

"Alright, before you descend, let me give you some details about your new task," the Great One told them in a serious tone.

"Elise, right here, will have her soul be cleansed and restored. As for what will happen next, I reserve that as part of the grand plan of course hahahahaha!" the Great One heartily laughed.

Eli was not surprised because, in the holy scriptures, his ways are always described as unfathomable. Only he, himself knew of the big picture. Him, explaining a portion of it to them is already a miracle!

"As for you Eli, you will descend to another earth I created, called Prasinos. The book that I just gave you will be your guide and counsel along the way." the Great One addressed Eli.

"Yes, Great Father." Eli attentively answered.

"Your main task is to give birth and be a good mother to the little one. Do not let this be a hindrance to you not to living your life to the fullest!"

"Also, there is blatant danger.. never forget that Elise had a killer, and that killer has something to do with our enemy, the evil." the Great One warned.

"That book will help you and protect you along the way so do not be afraid, for in that book is a piece of my power. I am always with you." He assured Eli.

"Along the way, you will meet people I have tapped to help you and the little one on your journey. However, I warn you that until you have given birth, do your very best to avoid alerting the enemy."

"I will heed your warnings." Eli obediently replied.

"My good child, don't forget about me ah...always talk to me ahh~" the Great One childishly reminded Eli.

"... Of course.. Great Father.. I will even teach the little one about you and Elise of course!" surprised by the sudden playful behavior of THE Great One, Eli replied.

"Hahahaha! Great! Great!!!" like a proud grandpa, the Great One was delighted.

"Alright, I have held you in for too long. I know that you still feel afraid, so let me say it once again. I am with you always," the Great One lovingly declared to Eli.

"Yes, thank you for this chance and for this task. I will do my best not to disappoint you. So please always guide me." She humbly replied. Then she drifted towards Elise.

"Concentrate on healing. Rest assured, I will do my best!" She told her.

"Lady Eli, I could only thank you. I pray for the safety of both of you. I know the Great One will grant it," Elise replied.

As they converse golden light rained down on Eli's soul orb. Slowly, her soul faded into nothingness.

"Now my child, it's time for you to heal yourself.. there's a lot for you ahead." the Great One beckoned Elise into entering another hall.

------

The next thing Eli knew was waking up in a bed made of soft leaves and grass.

She was welcomed by a fascinating canopy of stars and trees waving softly as the wind blew.

In the middle of the forest, she was surrounded by glowing fireflies. As she looked around, she also noticed a serene-looking lake, reflecting the moonlight as clear as a mirror. It was very peaceful yet magical.

"So this is Prasinos," she thought as she marveled at the sight. Looking at her new body, the first thing that she noticed was her cute baby bump.

"This is really happening.. I still feel weird about it.." despite knowing what she signed up for, Eli was still overwhelmed by the fact that she was experiencing being alive again. Especially being pregnant at the same time.

She caressed her baby bump gently. Suddenly she felt some movement in her belly, the little one seemingly greeting her.

Eli felt excited, hopeful, and anxious at the same time. There was really a living little baby growing slowly inside her!!! How unreal was this!

"Hello Little Han, it's you and me now, exploring a new world." Lovingly, she uttered to the tiny little life in her belly.

She also gave the little one a nickname that both go well with the boy and girl names Elise had initially given.

"Oh, your mum is so clever!" Eli proudly thought as she continued caressing her baby bump.

Suddenly, an amused voice drifted into the woods. "Ohhh... The Overseer managed to replace the damaged soul?!"

"Who.. who is it?" Eli was startled.

Then she realized that there was a fairy-like figure that was hovering around the forest trees!

A male deity, looking lazy with emerald green eyes and long sleek green hair. Wherever he hovers, a green glowing mist will trail his path. His pointed ears gave away the fact that he was indeed a magical being, however, it didn't do any damage to his good looks.

"Ohhhh it's really a different soul!!! Hahaha what a rare move from The Overseer!!! I'm amazed!! Hahahahaha!" discovering the secret of Eli's soul, he excitedly shouted as if he had made a wonderful discovery.

Eli again was startled. The fairy knew her identity. It seemed like 'The Overseer' he was talking about is The Great One and he knew him well.

"Sylvain, calm down. You'll startle the dear child!" a soothing woman's voice was heard, reprimanding the fairy.

Eli looked in the direction of the voice and saw a majestic sight!

Little sparkles of light came together and slowly formed a shape of a female deity. Her body shined like the stars! Her lips as red as rubies, her hair as white as the clouds, and her eyes as blue as the skies!

Truly one beautiful deity!!! Eli was simply in awe!

"Tsk, Celeste you are as stern as ever! Hmph!! Look at Amihan. She is as quiet as ever~~~" Annoyed that he was reprimanded, the male deity replied. He pointed to an unsuspecting Red Vented Cockatoo resting on one of the nearby tree branches.

As if on cue, the Red Vented Cockatoo transformed into a young girl sitting on the same tree branch. She was dressed in a white long robe, with red and yellow trailing at the ends of the flowy garment. Her eyes are black as the night, contrasting her snow-white fluffy hair. She looked as docile and as graceful as a bird, witnessing the first two deities bickering.

"Don't be fooled by her gentleness, she can be very violent if you annoy her." Suddenly a deep manly voice came from the direction of the lake.

Eli's eyes were wide open as she saw an image of a man floating at the center of the lake.

Another male deity walked toward the group. His tanned skin and well-built upper body were generously exposed as his garment only covered the lower part of his body. His long midnight blue hair unruly cascaded down to his back as wisps of seemingly alive water floated around his body.

"Waaah so much flesh... So much skin!" Eli, the virgin mommy thought.

Even in her previous life, she had very very very limited interaction with shirtless men.

"Woah you are finally here! Now let's introduce ourselves to the chosen soul! This Handsome one's name was Sylvain the guardian of the Earth." the male fairy Sylvain introduced himself.

"Greetings dear child! I am named Celeste the guardian of the skies," the deity made of stars, Celeste followed.

"Amihan..wind, I guard." the docile deity shyly said.

"Zale, guardian of the waters," the handsome tanned deity was last to introduce himself.

"We are here to welcome you to this earth, Prasinos." Celeste, the sky guardian explained.

"We have been tasked by the Overseer to protect the body and the little life inside, up until you descend. Also, upon your awakening, we are also tasked to prepare what you will need as you come into this world." Celeste continued to explain.

"Greetings Great Guardians of Prasinos.. My name is Elise, but you can call me Eli. I am here to obey the task the Great One gave to me - to live this life and give birth to Little Han." Eli politely introduced herself.

"Thank you for protecting this body and the little one." She expressed her sincerest thanks.

"No biggie.. we actually heard the original soul's plea calling our names in her dying breath. Unfortunately, our powers couldn't do anything, so we can only plead with The Overseer to do something," Sylvain the earth guardian explained. Regret and sadness were clear in his eyes.

"Hmph! She didn't call mine and Amihan's name," Zale the water guardian pouted.

Amihan the wind deity stared at Zale as if she was looking at an idiot.

"Would it even matter for a desperate and dying person?!" Celeste was annoyed at Zale's childish behavior.

"Tsk.. I was just teasing the young one! Anyways, this part of the forest is actually a different dimension. However, be prepared! Right after you step out of this realm, you will be sent to another location. We will ensure that it will be far from your enemy and the previous village the original one had lived." Zale was still pouty but sternly explained the details to Eli.

What a sulky deity. Eli thought to herself.

"No worries... Zale is kind. Healed your wounds.." Amihan shyly interjected.

Feeling the need to restore Zale's image as a guardian, she squeezed out a lot of words.

"Thank you for taking care of me, Lord Zale," Eli understood Amihan's intention. She took the initiative to thank Zale's grace.

"No problem, it's such a small thing!!" Proud with a smug look, his chin lifted with satisfaction, Zale replied.

Now, both Eli and Amihan had their eyebrows twitching due to Zale's behavior.

Afraid that Zale will continue to bicker around and completely destroy his guardian image, Celeste immediately got down to business.

"Blessed one, We, the Guardians, will give blessings to protect you as you go out," Celeste said.

"Feel free to tell us what you have in mind, especially what you will be needing to start your journey, living here in Prasinos!" Sylvain followed.

Feel free to ask? Whatever I need?? Well isn't this awesome!!!

Eli excitedly thought.

Aren't these deities free golden thighs to hug!!
