Chapter 441 The Banshee's Romantic Cry
"Well, it does look much different than the last time that you were there, but not in the way that you think. There are also new people living there, but that will be part of the surprise!" I laughed, and Morgana gave me a curious look as I got out of bed. I offered her my hand with a warm smile. "Are you ready? Or would you like to change first?"
"What I am wearing should be more than fine, don\'t you think? Shall we go then?" Morgana asked as she took my hand and got out of bed to reveal her dress.
"Yes, let\'s go," I said, and then opened a portal in the room and led her through it. We came out at an old temple that was overrun by plants, and Morgana\'s eyes widened.
"What is this place? Is this...?" Morgana trailed off as she looked around in wonder.
"It is the forest I created to cover up the land. It is much prettier now, but the forests will be dark and full of monstrous creatures. Well, full would be a gross exaggeration, considering there are only three so far, but I am sure more will turn up in the future. I might even have to throw a couple demons in here by the time I get back from the underworld," I said as Morgana walked away from me over to the overgrown temple in her black dress.
"It is remarkable to see what you have done with everything, but even now, being here, it\'s hard to believe that it is all over," Morgana said as she turned back to me.
I walked over to take her hand and then pulled her along with me towards the tall, dark forest that started only 30 feet from the temple steps.
"It will take some time, but eventually, it will be like it never happened," I said, looking around and feeling the darkness of the forest. I was curious if the girls would already be able to sense me and what they were going to do.
"I know you are right, but everything is still very surreal for me. Thank you for taking me out like this; I really did need to get out of the house," Morgana said as she pulled closer to me to rest her head affectionately on my shoulder. The darkness of the forest closed around us, but walking with Morgana made it feel like broad daylight.
"You know, I have known many Lich and other Lich Queens, and none of them are as mild-mannered as you. What is that about?" I asked, but then added, "Not to sound rude, and you don\'t have to answer if you don\'t want to."
"No, I quite enjoy that you are interested in me," Morgana said with a smile as she lifted her head from my shoulder. "I think it is because I was raised by Catfolk after being cast away from the islands I was formed on. This was when Bell was the Goddess of the Catfolk, and I had been allowed to live among them because I defended them from the advances of the Amazons to the point that they stayed on their own land. I heard that is not the case anymore."
"Yeah, sort of, but I am going to go give the women a stern talking to on the Amazon Island. So many problems, but so little of me to go around. I wish I could just use my powers to instantly fix the world, but it doesn\'t work like that. No one problem is Identical to another, and while some can be solved quickly, there are many that need to be delved into to find the root," I complained and then sighed.
"I think that you are doing your best, and this world has been in trouble long before you came. If anything, things seem pretty good compared to what they were like when I had control of my body. There always seemed to be one war going on somewhere," Morgana explained as we got to a clearing that was filled with moonlight.
"It\'s been a long journey, and I have made many mistakes, but there are so many people who have helped along the way. Without them, this world would be in far worse shape," I said as I looked up at the night sky. The stars shone brightly in the moonlight, and I took a moment to soak in their beauty before turning back to Morgana.
"Do you ever wish that you could just fly off? Forget all this and never come back?" She asked me, and I smiled.
"Never. I finally have all my girls, and I get to love many others like you. If I have my way, I will never let this world disappear. I finally found a place that has everything that I love in it, and to me, that is home. This world is my home, and I plan on making it the best home that I have ever had for me and everyone else. I don\'t care how hard I have to work or how long it takes; I will make this world flourish with productivity, happiness, and unending and relentless love," I said.
"I believe in you, Galio! I have seen what you are capable of, and I know that your determination will see the people of this world through," Morgana said, and I hugged her tightly.
She pulled back and looked up at me with piercing blue eyes as the moonlight lit up her beautiful porcelain face. The two of us slowly moved together for a kiss, but then there was a scream that ripped through the forest. Instead of pulling back in shock, Morgana smiled and moaned slightly.
"Was that a Banshee?" She asked when her eyes opened again, and I nodded with a smile.
"That would be Cleena, Queen of the Banshee, or at least in the world she was from. I am not sure if there was one here already or not," I said.
