NOTE: Story is still on going and I plan on adding more chapters once I make them in the future! Will update the tags properly, once I upload the rest of the story!

Story Notes: Everlight is based in a modern-ish world OG setting I've made. While there will be kink-related things, there will be small measures of plot as well! Been really excited to do this, as I wanted to mix it up a bit from the XIV stuff I write! Certain parts will focus more on the size stuff, with others are more plot focused.

====================


  The sun was setting, and night soon replaced the twilight seen through the gaps in the skyscrapers, in a sea of black, bright twinkling stars dotting the sky high above the city. A number of people were heading on their way home from work - tired and eager to call it a day.


One such person was locking up shop at a radio store, after yet another slow down; they looked to be in their late twenties. Semi-short brown hair with a somewhat old baseball cap sitting on top of their head. They had stuck the back of their hair through the open spot of the hat, letting it hang in a loose ponytail behind her. She had on a basic black work store shirt, with the shop’s logo of a Boombox on her back, and a smaller one somewhat center near where her heart would be.


 A classic baseball jersey hung over it sporting the local cities baseball team, The Seagulls, partly buttoned up as to let others know she was off the clock. A simple pair of brown work pants and black shoes finished off her look, as the young woman finished closing the gates.


Reaching down for a backpack nearby with a baseball bat partly sticking out of it, the young woman turned towards a nearby bike rack that had her simple baby blue bike chained up to it. It took a few seconds, with a forced jiggle of her key within the lock, and soon it was freed once more for her to hop on top of it. Ensuring the back pack she had slung over her back was secured, the young woman prepared to head off home–

“Hey Alex, need a ride home?”

Pausing, the young woman turned her bright light brown eyes towards the person speaking. An older, somewhat burly man was seated within a pick up truck. With the car looking as if it was in need of a fresh paint job, not to mention a tune up judging by the sounds of the engine. A fellow coworker who had gotten off shortly before she did.


“Nah, I’m good Mike! Need to pick up some milk before the store closes.” She replied, making sure everything was in order, as she got ready to leave.

“You sure? It’s not a big deal, I can go by the store with you before heading home.” Mike said, leaning out the window somewhat, seeming unsure for a moment. Alex couldn’t help herself, pedaling the very short distance from the bike rake to the side of Mike’s car - a grin on her features. One hand pressed against the roof of the car, the other rubbing at her chin as if thinking to herself; causing the man within to frown at her.


“We thinkiiiing. . .your place or mine? The ol’ ball and chain gone off to have a night off with the pool boy again?” Alex questioned in a false deep voice, at once greeted with a snort from Mike.

“Please, she -wishes- we could afford a pool boy. Hell, it’d be nice to -own- a pool. Heard we’re having a heatwave next week.” The two had known each other for a few years now, with Alex being not just a coworker, but a friend as well to Mike and his wife. Despite having roughly a several year gap between each other, the two often found themselves getting along when off the clock.


The two of them dabbled in some small talk for a short moment, a few laughs shared, before Mike looked at her in a somewhat serious manner.

“Seriously though, could give you a lift and just stick your bike in the back.” He offered again, with Alex merely giving the roof of the truck a few solid thunks; earning a glare from Mike with each one.

“Naaah, I’ll be fine. Relax! I’m sure you can coax another young, beautiful woman, not as beautiful as me mind you–” One could swear Mike was able to see inside his head, given how far his eyes rolled upward at her comments. “--but I’m good!” She knew he meant well, given how often they had to listen to the radio inside their workshop - as over the last week there had been a string of people vanishing. Eight in all. However, they were located on the other side of the city they lived in, which caused Alex not to even sweat it.


“Anyways, head on home, tell your wife I love her very much, and I hope you dream of us together! Your wife and I~” Alex said with a taunting grin, only earning a roar of the engine from Mike’s truck - as Alex pushed away from it with a slight grin. . .only for it to turn upside down at Mike’s last comment.


“Yeaaah ok, but when I do, I’ll dream of something A LI’L THINNER~”


With that, the older man made a quick getaway. With a roar of his engine and tires screeching. . .leaving in its wake a young woman giving the man a rude gesture at his departure. A few honks of his horn were heard, before joining the rest of the cars in the late afternoon traffic.


“. . .I bet he ate glue when he was young.” Alex said to herself, before she turned to start biking towards the store; band-aid now applied to her slightly wounded ego. She knew she wasn’t really overweight, the biking and morning jogs helped to ensure that.


As the young woman biked throughout the city, more and more lights started to spring to life. Bright billboards on display, most of them seeming to note an upcoming festival. The bustling city was known as Everlight, a nickname many thought was due in part to how many lights seem to dot the city. The upcoming festival seemed to be the cause for the three day weekend, given how many ads were playing for it; with the faces of two women appearing on screen more often than not. . .


The first on display was a strong looking woman, somewhat built and with a wolfish grin seen on her lips. Piercing orange eyes, that brimmed with a fierce light akin to the sun staring out at Alex from every billboard and ad about her. She had rather tan skin, and jet black hair; with some side bangs hanging about the side of her face, with a ponytail seen on the back of her head, but more tightly kept with a few strands hanging loose from it; with a beauty mark seen slightly below her lower right mouth.


In some ads, she was sporting an attire akin to that of a black smith minus any gloves. In others she wore fancy suits, ties and all. The tanned skinned woman was often seen doing some sort of labor, working out, and other such things that seem to require what Alex called ‘getting it done’ energy.


However, the thing that truly set her apart in most ads. . .was her size.


There was a video of her helping some construction workers with a skyscraper. . .while being the same size as the building. Others had her digging a large hole with her bare fingers, the other clutching an entire tree within her grasp with ease. She’d plant the tree before pushing dirt up around it; a soft glow emitted from the ground soon after.


The second wore threads of dark green, short well kept jet black hair like the other, but pulsing bright green eyes unlike the one before her; with pale white skin making her eyes pop more than the norm. She was less built than the tanned woman, but more curvy in nature. Her nails were painted black, as were her lips. A hint of dark eyeshadow was seen too, with everything about her well kept.


Unlike the other one, she seemed to fancy dresses and jewelry, along with her ads more focused on things of luxury. Televisions nearby showed her presenting different types of perfumes, jewelry, dresses, fine dining, and more. In some she seemed to have longer hair, at times covering one eye, sporting a coy smile.


As with the first, her size was that of a massive human being. Such as her laying down on an entire stretch of road; sporting open toed heels, a single one piece green dress with a slit up the side that showcased a wealth of thigh. She was staring at the viewer with that same coy smile, and half-closed eyes. Seen about her were normal size people. Men and women in both butler outfits and maids. Propped up on her elbow, she had her hand up in front of her - a logo of sorts seen; a broomstick and a bottle of wine crossing over one another like a coat of arms.


Alex knew the logo to be that of a fancy company that specialized in training its members to be the finest butlers and maids the world knew of. So much so, that even the titan-sized woman had hired them to serve her.


Their names were Fortia and Sophia, at least in the human tongue. . .and they were the goddesses of her fair city.


Alex kept on pedaling to the store to get her milk, seeing on almost every ad and television a countdown. In a few short hours, at the stroke of midnight, the festival of the gods would begin. An event that took place roughly every decade. While it was celebrated all across the city, it was at the heart of the city everyone wanted to be. Twin chairs made up of a collection of steel and wood combined made up the positions in which the two gods would sit, and address the city during the midnight hour.


She felt a smile across her face, recalling the first two festivals in her life. The first had been when she was a child, having dressed up as Sophia for Halloween that year and had even gotten a picture of herself with one of the royal guards of their temple too by pure chance while her family had been driving her home and came across the man helping a nearby shop.


The next time had been two years after Alex had gotten out of high school. Sporting an armband that had Fortia’s symbol of the sun on it; when she had been in her huge tomboy stage. She recalled being among a crowd on a large building’s rooftop. While it had been far away, she had gotten the chance to see the two goddesses themselves strolling through the city with ease. The roads had been made with them in mind, as she felt the slight tremors through the building with each foot step the massive beings took.


The brown-eyed woman snorted at the memory, recalling how she had ‘sworn’ both of the larger-than-life-women, while they were walking towards the center of the city, waving at those gather on the sidewalks of the streets and the rooftops where others had the same idea to see them from afar. . .and had looked directly -at- her for a few seconds. It had been something magical to Alex, despite the fact knowing that couldn’t be true. They had merely been waving at everyone in the area, and at their size, it’d no doubt seem like -everyone- thought they had looked at them. Many claimed they did, with Alex passing it off as nothing more than something she wished had been true.


There was no way both of them had looked at her, of all people, with Fortia giving a grin and Sophia smirking, while waving at her. A wink followed after by Fortia, and a ‘kiss’ blown in her direction by Sophia.


Stopping at a red light, she watched as the cars drove home. While some had gotten tickets, many more could not. Despite how many ‘seats’ were available at the festival’s center, the prices were just too rich for Alex’s blood.


She was close to turning thirty next week, a fact she was somewhat dreading, but also eager for. With the dreadful age of the wicked three-zero, also came the wonderful prospects of having extra cash soon! She had been running a bit low these last few months, having gotten sick at the start of the year, and unable to pick up extra shifts at the radio store she worked at. Mike had been kind enough to loan her some cash, but she wasn’t quite eager for the handouts, feeling a sense of guilt from depending on a man who also had a family to feed.


The light turned green, and Alex found herself heading down a few more blocks, before arriving at a local store that was near her apartment. In the blink of an eye, she was in and out of the store. Bag containing a single tall jug of milk, with a few candies tossed in, because why not!


She had also bought a magazine that had a listing of what was to come for this year’s upcoming festival. Unlike other magazines, all the pages were blank - a magical seal placed upon all of them by the goddesses themselves. It was always a surprise what each festival held, with no one knowing for sure what was to come! As a kid, it always held a bit of magic to Alex in another sense, where she never knew what the festival’s main events would be!


There were old films she had seen, where the goddesses had done a number of different things. Ranging from expanding the city, inviting people inside their massive temple within the mountains nearby that they lived in, special dances. . .the list went on and on.


Some were not as well received by the people in the olden days, where documents noted they had asked for sacrifices during a time period in which the crime rate had skyrocketed. While they had been kind to humanity, they had also been cruel during dark times as well. Though it had been ages since such things had happened, with the more recent years being ‘light hearted’. At most, promoting a certain group of people, companies, and more.


The seal on the magazine would be undone, once the goddesses at the festival had declared their intent for the next decade.


The ride home was uneventful afterwards, as she kept on pedaling - noting people flocking towards the more inner parts of the city and near the road the lead outside the city. Where the goddesses would appear and begin their trek through the city, until they reached the center. People could be seen on the taller rooftops, small camp sets seen, music being played, and chatter all around the city.


There was even a song she heard and knew well, humming the lyrics to herself under her breath. Thinking herself unable to be heard, she’d sing out loud with no shame - bobbing her head about; one hand on the handlebar of the bike, while the other gestured to herself and random areas around her - as if she was in a music video!


This wasn’t meant to happen for long, as she stopped at a corner only to find someone standing there. . .giving her an odd look. As did a couple in a car driving up next to her, as she turtled in on herself, pretending as if she hadn’t. However, once the light turned green and she had pedaled away from them. . .she started to sing to herself; although a liiiittle lower in volume afterwards!


A five story building was soon in front of her, as she pedaled up to the front of it, hopping off her bike and looking for her keycard. Finding it, she headed up towards the gate and gained access through the gate with it soon after. Before long, she was hefting her bike through the building and found herself entering the lift nearby; too tired to trek up the stairs with her bike in tow.


After a few dings, she arrived at the top floor that led into a hallway of doors; where at the very end was her room. Using her keycard, Alex was at long last able to enter her ‘humble’ home - with a clicking sound behind her after the door closed; now locked up.


Placing the bike against the wall, she at once tossed the backpack with the bat in it near the side of the couch in the living room and made her way to the fridge to put away the milk she bought.


Her place consisted of a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. Somewhat cramped, but it was home, and she was proud of it.


All about the room was an assortment of items on shelves, dressers, and near her bed as well. Some things were toys from when she was a child. Others being things one needed to get by. . .and then some. Books ranging from how to do plumbing, cook books, and others that were made just for reading itself.


It wasn’t long before the young woman found herself sinking into the couch after plopping down on top of it, a sigh emitted from her after a long day at work. Kicking off her shoes, but too lazy to change into anything else, she fumbled around for the remote control, before switching on the television. . .almost forgetting for a moment what was going on.


She had planned on watching one of her favorite detective shows, but that was not to be. On every single channel, there was a countdown to the festival. Still images were seen shifting about behind the timer, from old black and white photos from the city's past, to more recently colorful photos from not too long ago.


“Thank yoooou Fort and Sophia. . .argghhh. . .'' Eyes closed for a moment, she’d frown as she realized it’d be another week or two before the television channels would go back to their normal broadcast.


Leaning forward, she reached for the laptop on top of the coffee table in front of the couch; flicking it open and powering it on. Soon, she was surfing the web; updating herself on any and all news, checking her online accounts, forums, and so forth. As a kid, she had enjoyed it, but as an adult she found herself somewhat tired of it. The festival was all over the internet as well. Pictures of people with their parents before, to others taking selfies from where they had scored a seat at the main festival grounds.


Art, jokes, videos, and more clogged her timelines. With of course her ‘favorite’ one being people who claimed they knew what the goddesses had planned. Ranging from people that had a somewhat sensible mind set of what they think might happen, to straight up tin-foil hat madmen declaring it was the end of the world as they knew it. She felt fine.


She mindlessly went through it all, not bothering to check to see who was online or anything. Exhausted after the long day and wanting just to have some time to herself, Alex didn’t bother to check any of her messages, as she planned on reading them tomorrow morning.


Two more hours to go, until it was midnight. . .which meant in roughly an hour or so; the two would appear and start their walk. It had become known that the goddesses took their time getting to the center of the city. Due in part to being careful not to harm anyone, but also to soak in all the praise being given to them in passing. It was a known fact that receiving praise and prayers from the people in turn gave them more power.


On a night such as this, it had been noted in past interviews as; ‘a most joyful delight to bathe in’. In the more ‘unsightly’ interviews in the years before, the goddesses had let slip that it was like eating at a fine diner. With each person’s ‘energy’ tasting a certain way. This had. . .not gone well with some people, which the goddesses later changed their explanation of it to something more acceptable, but the truth was already out.


Almost on cue after an hour, the glass of water Alex had on her table shook slightly. She’d pause in what she was doing, looking at the water with baited breath. . .and then, she felt it as the water moved. A slight tremor felt throughout the building. While she was far away from the center of the city, she was still thankful that all the buildings had been made earthquake proof - with those in the center being made of special materials that they could even withstand the goddesses -sitting- on them if they chose to do so. . .which at times they did, when wanting to strike a pose for those gazing upon them!


It was almost like a red carpet event, but just for the two goddesses themselves. The television switched from the still images to a live helicopter feed, and ones from the ground below. News reporters were all reporting on what had just happened. . .even though everyone in the city could feel it.



Fortia and Sophia emerged from their mountain hideaway, and had entered the city limits.


Despite the fact this happened twice in her life before, Alex felt. . .something stir within her. Excitement, mostly, but also a hint of fear and awe. Even sitting on her couch, in the comfort of her home she could sense them from even this far away. The energy the two emitted could be sensed by all; ancient and powerful.


Both were dressed the same, in white goddess like togas. Although with slight differences. Fortia wore a pair of brown gladiator-like sandals on her massive feet, while Sophia had chosen a pair of dark green open-toed strappy heels. Their hair styles remained the same as when Alex saw them during the ads; with Sophia sporting her normally short hair, of course.


As they made their way down the main street, Alex got up and quickly fixed herself some late night dinner; having forgotten to eat the moment she got home. Heading back to the couch, she took a seat and watched the two walk through the city as if they owned it. . .no, they DID own it. All of it. All of them.


Even Alex.


She wondered how that felt, being that powerful, with adoring fans. . .some even trying to rush past the guards on the sidewalk and get in the way of their footsteps. Either security caught them and reeled them quickly back in, or the goddesses merely. . .made sure to take an extra step further to avoid crushing anyone outright. It wasn’t unheard of for the more ‘devoted’ followers to try and throw themselves at the goddesses feet. That wouldn’t have been very good to air these days, but it didn’t seem many were trying to go for gold this time around.


As always, they waved to those down on the sidewalk below - sometimes stopping mid-walk to take a seat on a nearby empty building top once they were further into the city. Posing for pictures and grinning down at a number of random people. Alex knew if she were to check her timeline, there’d no doubt be some with an amazing view down below, taking a picture of them while they were focused on where they were; as if looking directly at the camera.


There was a small part of her that wished she could be there, down below with the crowd near them both; smiling up at them with a wave, with the faintest of hopes she could garner their attention to herself. . .


It was getting closer to midnight, as the twin goddesses made their way further into the depths of the city - towards where the two giant chairs were positioned. Each foot step caused some people to lose their balance at times, but others nearby made sure to help them stay upright. Packed tightly together to help ensure it.


Despite what was going on, Alex felt. . .tired. She had worked all day, having trouble sleeping the night before, and now she was struggling to stay awake until the midnight hour. Less than half an hour until it was time, yet she felt her eyelids grow heavy.


“Mmm. . .wonder if that color is in stock. . .” Alex mused to herself, as the television for one of the cameras had gotten an up close look at their lower legs and feet; namely Sophia’s black toenails on full display for a moment.


It seemed the goddess knew it as well, pausing as she’d shift her feet about, lifting one heel off the ground a tad, while her toes shifted about under the confines of the single large strap that kept her toes mostly in place. Sophia had somewhat slim feet contained within those heels, but at her current size each one could easily crush a car fully under foot without too much of a problem. The pale cream colored foot stood out against the dark green colored heels she wore, as the truck sized feet lifted off the ground with ease, and moved on.


After she moved past the camera, Alex noticed there seemed to be a very light hint of. . .frost covering the edges of the view. She’d notice people in the background on the ground level behind the feet seemed to be gripping their bodies, as if trying to warm them up during a cold winter night. It was somewhat cold, but not -that- cold.


Fortia wasn’t too far behind her, her broad thick soled feet were contained with her footwear of choice. A number of strong leather straps were seen across both her feet and lower legs, as she made her way after her fellow goddess.



Upon reaching the same camera that had a close up of her lower legs and feet, she purposely slowed down - as if wanting the camera to watch every movement of her feet as she stepped forward. Alex saw how Fortia’s foot would bend as it lifted slowly off the ground, her tanned feet larger than Sophias, as they could -easily- crush an entire bus under it, and then some. Her largest toe alone could dwarf a fully grown person, though her nails were well kept, but lacked any of the color that Sophia had on hers. There wasn’t a single scratch on those smooth bronze colored feet, just as clean as the other goddess was.


Unlike the green haired super being, there was a slight bit of haze in the camera view. The kind one saw when looking across a desert on a rather hot day. Those in the background were now fanning themselves, as if it had gone from being rather cold, to now a slight sorcher.


Alex had read something about how each goddess during a time of heightened power emitted an ‘aura’ of sorts from themselves. Sophia being a chill like that of a winter’s gale, while Fortia was like a hot summer breeze. With what she saw on the camera as it slightly seemed to be steamed up, she figured that was what they were feeling at the moment.


There wasn’t any audio really from the broadcast, given how much screaming and whatnot went on - along with making it easier on the censors. The audio from the event wouldn’t cue in until it was the goddesses who decided to speak; so that all could hear them - no matter where they were.


With each tick of the clock, Alex felt herself becoming more and more tired; wanting to stay up at least for what the goddesses would declare. Yet, the bed was looking rather welcoming. . .heck, the couch was starting to feel like a solid place to just call it a night at.


Grabbing a nearby blanket, she found herself a bit too lazy to turn off the light in the kitchen, the only source of light inside her place, television and laptop aside, that was giving off any type of light. Laying down on her side, she continued to try her best to stay awake; the magazine on the coffee table was still blank, but she knew it’d fill itself before long - the moment the two women on screen announced their plans for the city to hear.


Ten more minutes.


Her eyes were heavy, a brief moment of zoning out, before becoming aware of the fact they had taken their positions in each chair. Fortia sitting down, with each hand resting on the armrests and one leg crossed in front of the other. Sophia had taken to lounging sideways in the chair; her long and massive legs dangling over the edge, with her elbow resting on the armrest. Hand cradling the side of her face with an amused look on her features.


Five. . .


Maybe looking at it first thing in the morning would be for the best. It was going to be a three day weekend, she was going to have plenty of time on her hands. She didn’t quite have any plans yet, but she was going to enjoy the days off. Maybe go to the festival tomorrow and see what was on sale.


The two that the television was focused on looked over the crowd, before looking directly at the camera. Staring right at the viewer, each with a different expression seen for a moment.


Fortia seemed to be chuckling at something, head tilted to the side with that trademark wolfish grin, pearly whites on display, as she stared at the camera. Sophia stared at it with half-closed eyes, an amused expression seen on hers. Both of them looked at the television for longer than they had before. . .


Alex stared back at the television, alone in her apartment, as the two stared back from behind the magic box that brought many reasons to waste her time staring at it. Without being able to help it, she felt herself give a tired smile towards the TV.

“Mmm, read about it in the morning. . .sorry, just so tired.” Alex said to herself, but felt as if she was talking to the two as they stared at the camera.


Fortia and Sophia kept staring directly at her, both looking rather amused by something all of a sudden. Alex chalked it up to them reacting to whatever the crowd was no doubt screaming up at them, no doubt dealing with some crazy fans. . .


As she drifted off to the land of slumber, she saw there was only thirty seconds left. . .but it’d have to wait.


Right before she closed her eyes, she noticed Fortia giving a wink at the camera; while Sophia blew a kiss in its direction. For a moment, it felt like it was directed -at- Alex herself. Fun as that would be, Alex found sleep more welcoming, and at last passed out on the couch. . .


. . . .



. . . .



. . . .



She opened her eyes a crack, knowing it was still late at night. The television had audio playing now, but she had the volume low and was unable to make out what it was saying. A reporter was on TV, interviewing random people in the crowd to get their reaction to whatever had been announced. As always, everyone looked excited and eager to share their experiences.


Alex felt her eyes close once more, wishing she had turned it off, along with the light in the kitchen. . .



. . . .



. . . .



Her eyes opened somewhat once more, glancing around the room. Not a single light was on, and she’d readjust the pillow she was laying her head against; pulling the covers over her a bit further. It felt nice. . .



. . . .



Something bothered her in her dreams. In that state between dreams and reality, fading in and out of the world around her. She wasn’t sure what it was, but she felt alone. Sad. A sense of longing for something that she was without. . .



A slight weight on top of her stomach. Slowly, she felt a small cool tingle ripple across her. Soothing. . .healing. . .her dream felt more positive. Happy. The sense of belonging.



There was another comforting weight around her bust. The sensation one felt when safe and sound. Warmth. The feeling of longing ebbed away, as she was at peace with where and what she was.



It felt both heavy, but good. Like she was ten years younger, instead of turning thirty soon. Laying on her back as she could somewhat tell she was staring up at her ceiling through half-open eyes. She was tired, but Alex was feeling as if she was going to get a good night's sleep; despite waking up now and then.



Her arms were at her side, a weight felt on both of them, but not crushing. Her spare pillows no doubt, that had some weight to them as it made it easier to fall asleep after a long day. She’d pull each of them towards her, and felt them yield to her touch without trouble. One seemed slightly colder, no doubt due to being closer to her cooler that was right under her window. The other was oddly warm, but not bothersome.



Her eyes had drifted closed once more, as she felt the welcoming embrace of slumber once more.

. . . .



. . . .



Her eyes started to open once more, the room still dark. She blinked her eyes a few times, adjusting to what little light was inside the room. The faint scent of maple detected, as Alex moved to slowly sit upright in bed - having trouble waking, despite feeling as if she had had the best sleep of her entire life. Shifting about, the young woman moved to stand upright - reaching for a light switch on the wall nearby. With a flick, she’d be able to see the room once more–


“. . .hold on.”


She glanced from where she had gotten up, to the couch itself. The blanket was gone and her bag with the baseball bat in it was next to her bed now. She recalled falling asleep on the couch with her blanket, and didn’t recall waking up and moving from one place to the other. Not to mention she couldn’t seem to locate said blanket, aside from the ones she had on her bed anyways. Where did it go?


“. . .whatever.”


She felt a small twinge of excitement as she recalled the magazine she bought, and what day it was. Heading over the coffee table, she glanced about the table. . .then the couch. . .getting on her knees and looking under them both.


It was missing.


“Oh, come ooon!”

A disgruntled snort emitted from her, standing up as she looked around the apartment. She was starting to feel like the times where she had gotten drunk, and forgot fragments of the night before. She knew she didn’t drink last night, even though most no doubt did–

Several rapid thumps were heard against her door, startling Alex slightly, as she soon after heard a voice on the other side of it.

“We are here to retrieve a Miss Alex Fae, by order of Everlight’s Royal Knights.” A deep male voice started from behind the door.


Royal Knights?! This has gotta be a prank. . .


Tiptoeing across the floor, she checked through the peephole. . .and sure enough, two well dressed men black military outfits were there; their faces seeming clouded by some form of magic. One had yellow-orangish trimmings, while the other had green instead. A knight that represented each goddess, both of the highest order. As if knowing she was looking at them, both of them held up a hand, index finger extended. . .a magical wisp of fire appearing above each; each one matching the other’s colored trimmings. An ‘ID’ of sorts, that was hard to fake. . .and even if it was fake, was punishable by death should it be done by one unknighted.


“Uhhh. . .j–just a second!”


What. The. Hell.


Taking a moment to recompose herself, she tried to calm down. . .unable to do it fully, and unlocked her door, before opening it to speak to them both.


“Y–yeah, hi! Hello, sirs. Whaaat seems to be the problem?” She asked, trying to sound cool, but couldn’t help but to be nervous about what was going on; still attempting to give a winning smile.


They did not return it.


“You are ordered to come with us, once dressed and ready, and are to be relocated; now.” The one with the green trimmings stated, his voice lower in tone, but smooth as silk. Alex looked towards him, as he went on. “You need not worry about your belongings, only to get dressed and prepare yourself. We will leave shortly.” Both men glanced briefly over her form, causing Alex to feel rather uneasy.


“Why?”


The question of the day, which anyone in their right mind would ask at once.


“Everything will be explained once we have departed. Please.” The knight with the deeper voice stated, causing the one in green to shrug.


“Yeah, just, lemme get dressed!” Slowly, she closed the door, as if to see if they’d allow it. When neither of them tried to halt the door closing, she quickly finished closing it - the smile replaced by a small look of horror. Hands pressed against it, as she tried to figure out what was going on.


“Chill, chiiill. . .” Alex attempted to reassure herself, as she got to moving.


The knights were a group of people that worked with the city’s military army, formed by the two goddesses. They were taught some form of light magic, each one honed towards the goddess they served. Those that followed Fortia were gifted with extraordinary might. Sophia’s focused on the mind, bringing with it a vast variety of magical spells. She didn’t quite know the military rankings, but knew those in black were the highest ones; the elites.


Running around still waking up slightly, the young woman quickly stuffed her feet into a pair of simple boots, as she grabbed her favorite dark brown jacket with a fur collared hoodie. Whenever she wore it, she felt more sure of herself; ready to take on anything the world could throw at her.


It was poorly underperforming that day, as Alex snatched up her phone and went back towards the door. Taking a moment to try and recollect herself, she threw open the door, and stepped outside - making sure to lock up behind her. With that, she followed the knights down the stairs to the lobby below, with a number of people peeking from behind their doors at them as they passed in awe. It wasn’t an everyday thing for knights to appear in this part of town, much less two elites.


Outside was a heavily armored limousine, which the two knights marched towards; having shifted about. One was walking behind her, while the other strolled in front - making Alex feel as if she was some high profiled member of society. Something that didn’t quite feel as well, wearing her work uniform from the day before under her jacket.


The one at the front stepped towards the car, opening the door and gesturing for her to enter. “Please.”


Stepping inside, she found the interior was what one expected. A somewhat open back seating, with the seats, floor, and everything inside being well outside her price range if she chose to break it–


“Lady of the hour, have a seat!”

Startled yet again, the young woman turned towards the speaker; spotting a young man around her age sitting on the other side of the limo. He wore a well-tailored three piece suit, his entire ensemble black except for a splash of color in his emerald tie. His hands sported a pair of gloves that only seemed to be fitted over half his hand and fingers. Slightly combed back dirty blonde hair and blue eyes were seen, with a grin that would charm man and woman alike.


Alex was wary, knowing -what- this man was at once.


“Hey, heeey! Why the glare? I ain’t going to bite you know. Name’s Max, I’ll be your partner in crime for the day! I’m sure you got questions, and I haaave the answers!” The door closed shut behind her, prompting the woman to take a seat. The furthest away from the suited man.


“Uhhh, yeah. A few.” She said, not wanting to be rude, but kept her guard up around him - a fact he seemed to notice given his next words. “Not a fan of guys?” He questioned, with her responding at once without thinking.

“No, just not a fan of Enforcers.” She blurted out, wishing she hadn’t said that.


Enforcers. A group that worked under the goddess, but unlike the knights in the military, their job was ensuring the status quo of the goddesses. While not quite holding the same might or magic as the knights, they were given a small mixture of both. Resulting in a blend of power and magic, but it wasn’t these powers that made them respected and feared by the people.


They were the only group in the world that did not have to answer to a higher power; outside of the gods themselves.


The Enforcers oftentimes were seen as the boogiemen of the religious section of the twin goddesses. Their history was rife with men and women alike that sometimes sought to abuse the power they were given, while claiming it was for the gods.


Over the last few decades, however, there had been a crack down on them. Their numbers having dwindled down, as the goddesses had stated it was a new age and they need not depend on them as heavily as they did once upon a time. During the old times, the goddesses had been. . .not as fair to the land they walked upon. It had helped to repair a great deal of the damage the corrupt Enforcers had caused, with the goddesses laying the blame sorely upon them.


Despite the years that had gone by, they were a grim reminder of when the gods had engaged in more cruel acts, though not nearly as much as they had decades ago.


Max merely gave her a shrug and smile in turn, as if not offended by it at all. “Don’t blame you, but let’s see if we can change that? After all, we’re going to be getting to know each other now!” By his side on the seat was a rather thick folder, on top of a brief case. Picking up the folder, he opened it up and scanned through it - with Alex unable to help herself.


“What’s going on? Why–”

“--is such a devilish, yet charming young man, picking you up with the good ol’ boys? Don’t worry, like I said; I have the answers! First off, you -are- Alex Fae right?” He fingered one of the pieces of paper. “Odd last name. . .decided to pick it yourself after running out on Ma and Pa?” Max questioned her with an amused grin, only to be met with another frown from Alex.

“No, it’s a family name.” She was used to it, often teased as a child for having such an odd last name.


“Ahhh, of course, of course. . .man, allergic to peanut butter? Wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy!” This caused Alex to straighten up and look at him unsure, before recalling who she was dealing with. . .


. . .along with him turning a piece of paper around, showing it was her medical record.


“Used to depend on an inhaler as a kid, but not as much as an adult? Good for you! NOW–” He placed the paper down, grinning over at her again. “Let’s break it down nice and easy. As you know, there was a festival last night - I got stood up by my date, wasn't cool. Although, I wasn’t the only one that stood up their date last night! Seems -you- fancied yourself an early bed time, and missed your big public debut!”

“. . .I don’t follow. Me?”

“Mhmm~”

“I’m single.” Alex stated in an unamused manner, as if expecting this to be a setup.

“Ah yes, you very much are!” Max retorted. “Buuuut, it was a bit of a bliiiind date. . .double date really. You and two lovely ladies, who felt a little wounded that you didn't go to see them, even after putting on outfits that made them feel young again!”

There was a brief moment of silence, as the Limo started driving - with Alex responding to him.


“Look, I think you got the wrong person–” Alex was soon cut off by Max.

“Mmm, no, we have the right one. Fortia and Sophia made it -crystal- clear who you were.” He said, looking up towards the roof of the limo, before staring right at her; as if waiting for her to understand what he meant.

“I didn’t–wait, repeat that?” What did he just say?

Max’s smile didn’t falter as he explained to her. “You know, Fortia and Sophia! Two -very- tall ladies. One always has free tickets to the gun show, while the other loves halloween? I’m sure you know Sophia, you dressed up as her as a kid!”

Alex felt as if a cold bucket of ice had been dumped over her, an odd pit forming inside her stomach.


“. . .c–come again?”

Max merely smiled, holding up a hand as if to pause their talk. “Take a moment. . .breath. . .and yes, the goddesses.”


Another moment of silence.


“Ok.” Alex said. Max remained silent as the limo kept on driving, giving her time to soak in the information.


“Ok. . .ok. . .ummm. . .uhhh. . .” She looked at him in a dumbfounded manner, as he reached towards the side of the car. . .bringing out a small bottle of water, offering it to her.


Without a word, she took it with somewhat trembling hands, unscrewing the cap, and gulping it down in a flash. Max held his hand out again, with Alex wordlessly placing it back within his grasp, as he stowed it away at his side.


“. . .good?” He questioned her, while she shook her head, causing Max to chuckle.


“Taking this better than others have. Let’s do a review. . .you’re Alex Fae. You work at a small radio store. Went to school, got decent grades, then went to college, but left school to–”

“Yeah, yeah. I get that. I know who I am.” She said, snapping somewhat, before feeling somewhat guilty. “. . .sorry.”

“That’s alright, you’re processing a lot right now. To skip straight to the point. . .said two ladies have had their eye on you for some time. Not going to spoil all the surprises, but to make this simple? They enjoy taking in normal people. Bit of a refresher on things for them, among. . .other reasons.” He glanced away for a moment, causing Alex to frown again; with him returning the look with a grin.


“I’m not your enemy, I swear.” A pause, before he sighed and went on. “Come oooon lighten up! First hand experience with the big two! Live, in color, and up close! It’s fun, I promise you. Get first class treatment, everything paid for, get to live in the temple, aaand yours truly–”

“Wait, wait, WAIT. Hold up. . .” Alex leaned forward, semi holding a hand up, with Max making a face at her, cutting him off. “The temple. . .liiike a local one?”

“The gigantic one in the mountains where the two of them live. Huge lake, nice waterfalls, forest, some little–”

She felt sick.


“Hey, hey! I’m paid to clean up messes, but not those types. Stay with me Lex!” Max said to her, as she tried to control herself. It must have shown on her face, as Max looked a bit unsure at her, recoiling away slightly.


“Wanna get drive-thru? Bet those two lugs didn’t even give you time to eat–hey!” He knocked on the glass panel behind him that connected to the driver section; as it opened up for a moment.


“Let’s get some food for her before the meeting, wouldn’t do for her to do this on an empty stomach!” Max said, with a quick ‘Yes, sir’ heard, before the glass panel closed again.


The car started to turn off the main road, searching for a drive-thru. Max remained silent once more, as Alex tried to let what she had been told so far sink in.


“You know. . .normally adults aren’t allowed to get the bag with the toy in it, but I can swing it for you! I mean. . .you got an offering to give to them once we’ve arrived?” Max questioned her, though it was clear he knew the answer already. With another knock on the glass panel and opening, Max informed them as such - before closing it.


Alex looked up at him, unsure. . .then asked him a question.


“Am I going to see them today?”

“Yup! After we get some drive-thru food in you, then we’ll be heading there! Will take about half an hour once we leave the city limits. No beating around the bush! Just be yourself. After all, it’s why they want you! Once you’re feeling up to it, I got a few papers for you to sign. . .” He shuffled through the paperwork in the folder, getting it prepared with a pen held between his fingers.


“. . .am I going to be a sacrifice?”

The question made Max pause, almost as if he had not been expecting that from her; a slight look of surprise written across his features.

“If you’re talking in the ye ol’ tradition of being consumed to appease the gods, so as to let the city thrive, yadda yadda? No, you’re not.”

Alex felt as if a weight had left her shoulders, but froze up at what Max said next.


“Though in the sense of how you go about your life? That’s up to them from now on. The paperwork is mostly to note this is all you, and that you understand that.” He said, a somewhat serious tone to his voice. Alex didn’t respond, with Max deciding to share more information.


“It’s hard for me to give you a -direct- answer on that, save for it is what you make it. For some, it’ll be a dream come true. For others, they could view it in a rather negative light! Best I can advise you is to try to make the best of it.” Max said, speaking in a rather honest manner for once - a real smile sent her way.


“What do you two wish for?”

It was the deep voice again, as they had arrived at the drive-thru as he spoke through the glass panel’s opening. Max was quick to get his order, consisting of a milkshake, some fries, and chicken strips. Alex wasn’t sure, and simply requested a hamburger, fries, and a medium sized drink. The last garnering a curious look from Max. Suggesting she could go a size larger, but she refused. Leaving at that, they soon pulled up to the next window, received their food, and were on their way as the Knights driving the Limo offered the bags through the glass panel after opening it; with Max all too eager to accept it.


“That’s something you should get used to!” Leaning forward, he handed over her bag of food, sitting back against his seat after she accepted it. “You won’t need to worry about paying for anything while you’re a part of this. It’s not going to put you into debt or anything, it’s normal practice for anyone in your position to–”

“Position?” Alex questioned, slowly opening her bag as she noticed she was indeed starving. Having only made a quick meal the night before and had not eaten since.


“Yup! Friend of the goddesses! Life’s going to be veeery different for you from now on. You’ll be spending a lot of time with them and the staff located at the temple. I’ll be your go to man for most things, and middle man for when you have requests!” Max explained to her, taking a happy gulp from his milkshake.


“Like. . .requesting. . .uhhh. . .”

“Oh, anything within reason! Nice dress? No problem! Favorite video game that’s about to come out? First edition! Though I’d warn against abusing that right at first, until you get settled in. You’re going to need all the energy you can muster the first month while adjusting to everything. Can get you tickets to that favorite baseball team of yours too!” The Enforced declared, pausing to take a bite out of his chicken; making sure not to get any on his suit as he held it over the bag.


Alex found herself slowly starting to understand what was happening. The idea was not so scary. . .but then, another problem presented itself.


“. . .what do I do?”

Max had been ready to take another bite out of his chicken, pausing to look at her. . .replying with a grin.

“Just be you, like I said, and be a friend to two beautiful gals who long for your company.”

Something just seemed. . .off. It seemed too good to be true, and there was something else. She wasn’t quite sure what it was, but it didn’t quite set right with her. Not yet.


The two ate in silence as the car drove outside the city, traveling along the wide strip of road large enough for the massive super beings to walk down as if it was a red carpet; with Alex relenting at last and signing the paperwork. It held information about her medical history, where she worked, and some other pieces of paper that she wasn’t quite sure what it was, but signed off on anyways.


Once signed, she handed the papers back over to Max; who took them with a smile on his face. Tucked back into the folder they had been first seen in.


A few turns later, and the massive mountain landscape loomed before them. With some even larger than the gods themselves; which Alex knew held the temple and land of the gods beyond it.

However, at one point they turned off the main road onto a dirt path; heading through a small series of trees. . .and soon arriving at a tunnel leading into the rocky mountain wall ahead. In front of it was a decently sized guard post, with a few buildings scattered about, and a chain link fence blocking their way. On either side of the fenced off area were the symbols of the gods, one being the symbol of the sun while the other bore the markings of a tidal wave, making it clear this was under the Knight’s control.


They slowed to a halt when arriving, with the driver speaking to someone at the guard post while still inside the car, with Max explaining to Alex.


“Not sure how well versed you are in your goddess history, but this is how all the staff goes to and from the temple. Main road is for the gods only, along with another thing or two. We’ll be heading through the tunnel, and once parked, make the rest of the way on foot. I noticed you didn’t read everything, but you’re not allowed to speak about what you see within, unless the gods allow it. . .or me!” He said, with Alex nodding as she had a mouthful of hamburger at the moment. That part didn’t surprise her, once she thought about it. The place was somewhat shrouded in mystery, with secrets abound no doubt.


It. . .got her excited, forgetting for a moment what was to become of her, as she thought about what she might see.


The car started to move again, driving through once the gates were moved and before long they were driving through a long man-made tunnel. A series of lights were hooked up to help show where they were going. It’d be a thirty minute drive, with Max polishing off his food, while Alex finished hers as well.


“Umm. . .”

Max turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak after that.


“. . .will I be allowed to go home ever?”

Max stared at her for a time, as if figuring out what to tell her. A thoughtful look on his face.


“. . .speaking frankly? This will be your home from now on. We have people at your place gathering your belongings, and they’ll arrive here after a day or two. At the moment, focus on the here and now.” Another honest sounding answer, something she had almost figured he’d give her the run around. So far, he had been rather forward with her, but she had noticed him dance around a few topics, but she found herself too curious to bicker back at the time, wanting to see what came next.


The tunnel opens up to a massive underground parking lot. It looked. . .normal. Something that surprised her, having expected. . .well, anything else.


It must have shown on her face, as Max chuckled and commented on it.


“Don’t worry, we keep the aliens locked up on Cell-block C, and world ending machines in Section Zeta.”


Alex stared at him, unsure if he was joking or not.


Max merely smiled, as he moved to exit the car - refusing to expand any further as he took the bag containing his order with him.


Alex soon followed, as he closed the door behind her. The knights once again took a position both in front and behind Alex. It was then she noticed Max had a few inches on her, putting him just slightly over six feet tall, while she was five foot seven. The group traveled mostly in silence, with the only thing she heard was their footsteps echoing about the massive underground parking lot. They soon arrived in front of an elevator, with Max pressing the button on the side to call for it.


“Sooo. . .is this like a front?” Alex questioned them, with only Max replying to her yet again. The knights remained silent.


“Well, duh. How else do you get through something if not through the front? Wanna sneak in the back door? Secret waterfall entrance, with a mermaid to guide you~” A teasing tone detected, with Alex rolling her eyes at him. . .before responding in kind.


A soft ding announced the arrival of the lift, with the doors slowly opening as the group made their way inside.

Alex noted there were roughly a dozen buttons; but was let down when they were just labeled one through twelve. With the letter ‘B’ seen at the bottom, which seemed to be where they were judging by how it was currently lit up.


“What about dropping in while skydiving?” She joked, only to be surprised at what Max said next.


“That has happened from time to time! Crazed followers or rich teens using a private jet to parachute on down. One landed right inside Fortia’s top. . .was funny, honestly! They were aiming for her head, but she saw them and pulled open her top. Sophia had fun catching another in her mouth!” He said with a grin, a laugh followed shortly after - while Alex looked slightly unsure.


“. . .did. . .did they die?”

“Hmmm? Nah-nah, just gave them a scare so they wouldn’t do it again while doing a good ol’ Fe-Fi-fo-fum on ‘em! They got stuck cleaning Fortia’s boots for the next week before we let them go, after telling their family. Theeey didn’t think it was quite so funny. . .” He leaned forward towards Alex. “. . .I thought it was helluva hilarious; sprained ankles aside~”


Alex couldn’t help, but smile for the first time.


Another soft ‘ding’ noted they had arrived on the twelfth floor, opening to display a long hallway that had two sections of floor. One moving towards the lift, the other leading away towards the end of the hallway; each with its own moving railing to hold onto as well. Stepping forward, the four of them were soon moving via the escalator floor on the ground, as a series of different posters were seen on the side - as if they were arriving at some sort of amusement park.


Each poster seemed to be of the goddesses in different themes and poses. One showed Fortia sporting a two piece bikini - flexing an arm as she posed on the beach. . .with a number of tourists spread in front of her body as she laid on her side. Another showed Sophia, with a number of men and women spread across her body as she laid on her back; a large sheet of some sort covering her lower region and chest, as men and women alike seemed to be worshiping her body.


There were dozens and dozens of posters, each of them in different parts of the world or city at different time periods. Posing, being worshiped, and other such things.


“All it’s missing is Worker of the month, with a picture of them on all the months~” Max joked, causing both knights to turn and stare at him, with the young man merely shrugging. “What, you think they wouldn’t?” They didn’t respond, but turned around without a word spoken.


Before long, they arrived at the end where another lift was waiting for them. As they entered the lift, it was. . .different. The inside seemed to be made of some sort of marble. There were no buttons within. . .just an empty space with a simple railing lining the middle of the walls.


“Hope you enjoy the show,” was all Max said, as the doors closed. . .and the lift moved upward; with Alex noticing there was a see through front where the doors once were.


At first, all they could see was darkness outside; with nothing, but rocks in view.


Then, the view changed.


It was the inside of a massive sparkling cave. . .the scope of its size was hard for Alex to grasp, but it was what was inside the cave that shocked her.


A beautiful city landscape was before her, looking almost just like Everlight itself. There were cars driving about, people going to and from places, and street lamps that helped to light the way. Alex thought for a moment she was seeing things, before a slight nudge from Max gained her attention, noting how he nodded upward, causing her to look up as well.


The ‘ceiling’ of the cave was covered in a sea of darkness. . .with twinkling lights seen all about. It was as if it was a massive city forever cloaked in night.


“This is where myself and others live. Can’t live in the city, as you never know when the goddesses might want to snatch you up and spend some quality time with you! It houses military members, Enforcers, maintenance workers, and then some; along with some of their favorites. . .which you’re now one of them. We’ll get back to this later, but. . .sure is a sight, huh?”

Alex merely found herself nodding. This. . .this is where she was going to live? A beautiful city dotted with dazzling lights, under a massive mountain? It wasn’t quite hitting home for her, as the lift continued going up for several more minutes.


“There’s another city deeper within, but thaaat’s another thing for later.”

Then, the view vanished and they were once more greeted by the walls of the cave right outside the glass doors.


“Almost there. . .let’s make sure you’re looking sharp, as you’re about to meet them!” Max said, turning to look Alex over, reaching over to ‘dust off’ her shoulders and pulled out a comb; with Alex allowing it as she was shocked.


“. . .w–wait, I’m meeting them NOW?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Are they waiting at the top?”

“Yuuuup!”

“. . .will I be meeting them by myself?” She asked in an almost quiet and worried voice, as Max finished calmly combing her hair; ensuring she was as presentable as she could be. He rested a hand on each of her shoulders, smiling down at her.


“You’re going to do great. I’ll be with you for a bit, but then I have things to do. Just remember. . .they’ve summoned you because of who you are. Keep that in mind, always.” He said, in an almost brotherly manner - a few solid thumps against her shoulders, before turning to face the door.


The lift started to slow down. . .and then. . .


They arrived at the temple, in which Alex would find her life forever changed.

   For a moment, it was hard for Alex to make out much beyond the glass door of the elevator, as the area outside seemed brighter than the cave she had seen. As the doors opened, Max stepped off first, but the Knights remained where they were. Giving them a look, she stared at the suited man with a curious look.


“. . .hmm? What, them? They’re not allowed in here, just you and me for now! Thanks for coming along!” Max stated to the two knights, who merely bowed in response, before the glass door closed. . .and the lift went back down. As Alex’s eyes adjusted to the light, she found herself noticing that she. . .was inside a room. It was made of marble, with a twin set of doors just a few feet away from her. There were no windows or anything else inside the room, aside from the elevator they had gotten off of; which as the doors closed behind them was also made of marble, almost blending in fully with the wall.


“. . .through there?” Alex asked, with Max strolling forward without a care in the world, turning to stand to the side of it, grinning at her.


“This is where I’ll be if you need anything. You’ll have to open the door yourself. You’ll be fine, again, just be yourself!” The blue-eyed man stated, gesturing from her to the door he was standing by.


For a time, Alex didn’t move; merely stared at the door, with Max seeming at ease while waiting for her.

“Ok. Ok! Yeah, just be myself!” She said, in an attempt to pump herself up; earning a thumbs up from Max - who looked as if something just clicked with him, and he reached into the bag of food he brought with him. What he pulled out almost made Alex laugh; a plastic bag containing a toy. . .a small rubik cube.

“It’s no goat or cow, but I think they’ll enjoy it! Remember, they’re gods - give them attention and they’ll lap it up!” As Max said this, for a brief moment there was a slight rumbling sound from beyond the door, as if something large and heavy had fallen to the ground outside; giving Alex a bit of a start - with Max merely laughing.


“Ok, ok! I think they want to meet you -now-, so, in you go!” Urging her to use the door, Alex took a few steps forward. . .gripping one of the lavish golden door handles within her grasp. Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself. . .and then opened the door, stepping inside.


She couldn’t help it, but kept her gaze towards the ground. A bit surprised to see it turn from marble flooring, to. . .what almost seemed like. . .carpet? At least she thought it was a light brown coloring, with the difference it seemed. . .thicker? Almost larger–


Looking up, she felt like a deer in headlights at what she saw before her.


It was a gigantic room, a bedroom; complete with desks, a computer, two beds, a dresser, and a number of other items one might expect when entering such a place. The only difference was that it was scaled up, massive and made for someone much larger than herself. She felt like she was the size of a bug–no, at least the height of like. . .a small action figure given life.


Despite everything in the room, it wasn’t the room itself that demanded her attention, but what was in the middle of the room.


Or more, who was in the middle of the room.


Two massive titans sat before her, wearing the same outfits they had at the festival the night before, minus their shoewear.


The first being the massive somewhat built figure of Fortia, looking directly down at her with that signature wolfish grin of hers. Sitting on her rear end, arms resting against her propped up knees while her bare feet laid before her. Her legs were slightly spread apart, allowing Alex to see down the middle and her face without any trouble, as it looked down at her from high above - a look of excitement etched across her features.


She noticed her large hands that hung somewhat off to the side of her knees. Fingers that were as thick and long as trees, slowly curling and uncurling in held back joy; yet she seemed to be containing herself. For now. Movement below drew her attention, as she noticed the titan’s toes shifted about in a subtle manner; even this far away she could hear them rubbing against one another, her gigantic bronze colored feet planted firmly on the carpet floor.



To Fortia’s left was the pale curvy figure of Sophia, though she was laying on her stomach - her long legs held upward behind herself; ankles crossed as she slowly swung them up and down. Bright beautiful piercing green eyes stared directly towards the small spell-bound woman on the ground before them; head propped up by her hands as she let her elbows rest on the ground. A coy look played across her lips, eyes half-closed as she gave Alex a rather intense look; the fingers that framed her face shifted slightly, as the young woman sensed as if Sophia was trying to hold back from doing something.


A wall of flesh caught Alex’s eye, as she looked slightly south of the gorgeous god’s face. . .to see a valley before her. She was indeed ‘gifted’. While somewhat smaller in size compared to Fortia, still massive in scale, she made up for her lack of height and size between the two with her assets. Something the goddess seemed to enjoy flaunting whenever she had the chance, which was clear she was using them to their full extent now.


No words were exchanged, as the two kept staring down at her. Alex felt like she was expected to do some sort of trick.


She just stood there, trying to wrap her mind around the fact this was really happening. Both of the goddesses, right there, sitting before her. In their room, looking just at her. Only her. It was extremely intimidating. . .and yet at the same time, she enjoyed it. It surprised her, having expected herself to pass out or something more like that.


Then, she surprised herself again by taking a step forward. Then another step. Soon, she was power walking towards them both; the item Max had given her clutched within her grasp; holding it somewhat before her as she walked towards them.


Both seemed rather happy with her reaction, with the grin on Fortia’s face only growing larger. Sophia's expression remained the same, but her pupils started to dilate. A much more intense look was given to Alex, but clearly stated she wanted her to not stop. To keep walking closer. The small brown haired woman noticed Sophia’s index finger was slightly bent and pressed against the side of her face; twitching and rubbing firmly against the spot. Another show of contained excitement, as if they were just as happy to be meeting her, as she was to them.


What she couldn’t see, but felt, was how powerful they were. She had heard stories of how people that were lucky enough to get close to them felt similar. A faint sense of wanting to worship them. . .to prove herself to them. . .but most of all? She liked it, even just the simple attention of looking at her remind her of how she felt all those years ago–


Were they both really looking at me, even then?!


She faintly recalled Max’s words through the haze she felt she was going through, on how they had been waiting for her last night. How they seemed to almost be staring at her through the television set as it got closer to midnight. . .


She kept power walking forward, closer and closer, until she was standing near them. . .having to crane her neck back to gaze up towards their faces, so high above her.


Both of them looked down at her in turn, with Fortia gaining her entire attention for a moment as she heard movement beside her.


Looking to her left, she noticed the massive broad foot of Fortia closer to her lift upward partly, toes pointed towards the ceiling; her smallest toe the closest to Alex, yet even that alone was massive to her.. She held it upward for a time, staring down at her as if to see what she would do. . .her toes curling and uncurling again; the sound of them pressing against one another louder than before.


The side of her foot tilted ever slightly towards her, exposing the sole of her foot to Alex, able to see the wrinkles in her skin shift about and flex whenever she clenched her toes. Then becoming somewhat taut when she unclenched them, the tips of her toes pressed against one another as they pointed upward slightly once more. Repeating the action, slowly, several times before it ceased. . .and was kept upward, heel still firmly on the ground.


Almost as if Fortia was inviting her to walk under her foot. . .something Alex found tempting. The idea of being directly under that large foot, looking up at the goddess through the gap of her toes, only for her thick sole to slowly descend downward upon her–


A faint ‘pop’ sound was heard above to her right, forcing her to look away from the warm, inviting body part of Fortia. . .only to see Sophia’s head turned more downward, and her lips now slightly parted.


It dawned on her the sound she had heard was the pale goddesses’s lips parting for a moment, almost sounding akin to a low sounding kiss. The intense look she was giving her made her knees feel weak, pupils smaller than the norm - an eerie intense look she had noticed the goddess make at times when seeing something she wanted on television or in pictures others had taken of her online.


Her black painted lips shifted about, rubbing against one another. . .her pearly white teeth stood out against them as she lightly chewed on her lower lip. . .before she saw the tip of that large pink creature peek out from between her lips. . .giving them a glossy look as a very thin layer of saliva was left in the wake of her tongue. Then, they parted and gave her a look briefly inside. Her teeth were well taken care of, with her canines somewhat pronounced. Something Alex knew she changed at times, seeming to favor them in a more ‘vampire’ like style around halloween. For now, they seemed more tame.


Within the darkness of her maw, a few strands of saliva could be seen. Reminding Alex of thick strands of ropes one could climb on, with Sophia’s tongue easily cutting through a strand without a single problem, though it was hard to see too far in–


Alex was forced to bring an arm up to shield herself as Sophia exhaled down upon her; a strong winter-like breeze felt coming down on her from above. It sent a shiver straight down Alex’s spine, feeling light-headed for a moment due to what was going on.


Amazed as she was, she was faintly aware of what was going on. It was their way of flirting with her. . .something they had sometimes done out in public without shame to random people, but it was often short lived or followed by a laugh. Yet, there was no laughing. Both of them staring down at her, not moving to do anything to her. . .not yet. It was almost as if they were seeing if she’d favor one over the other.


A single glance up towards Fortia proved she was correct, as she saw her wink down at her, while also flexing her arm slightly - clearly proud of her body and wanting to let Alex know that. Sophia's coy smile had abruptly changed to a more. . .intimidating cheshire like grin; teeth on full display. So wide that Alex felt if Sophia decided it, she could easily toss her within her awaiting maw. . .with plenty of room to spare.


She was often known as the goddess who enjoyed scaring those she had a thing for, past followers that had been close to her detailing how much she enjoyed giving them a good scare, and thrived on fright. Something Alex felt she could understand, being a fan of horror movies and the like, just as much as she enjoyed action-based ones.


Then, there was herself - a young woman soon to turn thirty, caught between two legendary figures that had shaped the very world as she knew it. Standing directly in front of them both, with no side given any favor. Yet.


She recalled how as a child, she looked up to Sophia for both her beauty, but also due to how much the goddess took to halloween. As she found herself in her teens, she had turned more towards Fortia, wanting to use her as a drive to get in better shape and also when she had entered her more tomboy years as a young adult.


Both had started to balance out for her in her early to mid twenties, valuing both of their ways of life. How both goddesses were able to do what they wanted, made her want to seize her life more firmly and control the direction in which she wanted to steer it. While they were goddesses, they were more like. . .heroes to her.


It was almost overwhelming her, as her view became somewhat misty. . .noticing both of the goddesses faces softened suddenly; smiling down at her in a fond manner now.


A small weight was felt in her hand, faintly recalling what Max had given her. Taking a moment to rub her eyes on the back of her sleeves to do away with any tears that might have escaped.


Fumbling around with the plastic bag, she slowly tore it open, gripping the small cube filled with different colors. . .before holding it upward towards them both and speaking for the first time since entering the room.


“M–Max said I should give this to you.”

At once she felt like an idiot. Here she was, standing before the two strongest beings in the world, who had ruled over it for so long. . .and here she was. Offering a toy she had gotten from a drive-thru.


“Of course he would, that silly fool~” It was Sophia who had spoken first, the faint traces of her breath felt across Alex’s body, a sultry tone in her voice.. The volume of her voice surprised the young woman.


She had figured it’d be booming, so loud in volume that it might cause her to cup her hands over her ears. Yet, while it demanded her attention at once and she heard it clear as day. . .if not maybe a bit louder than most, there was something preventing it from harming her this close up. It was hard to describe, almost as if someone had dampened the goddesses voice, and she was speaking through something that controlled how much she was hearing. . .


“Wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to have you offer us whatever was left of your food!” Fortia said, a somewhat husky sounding voice; full of controlled energy. As with Sophia, it felt as if something was protecting her from facing the full volume and force of Fortia’s voice. Whatever it was, it helped Alex to feel more at ease. . .though only if just a little.


Both stopped and looked amused at Alex below, who. . .seemed to be having trouble figuring out how to ‘give’ her gift to them. Turning in an almost comical manner back and forth between them, the small toy in hand.


“As I recall, you accepted the last gift we received, so it is only proper that -I- accept this small token~” Sophia said, her bright glowing green eyes staring down at Alex, while Fortia threw a look her fellow goddess' way, almost as if she wished she could say something in response to it. In the end, she merely looked back down at Alex as well, her smile a little less than before. “Very well. . .”


A slight shift in Sophia’s position was seen, as she held her head up with a single hand - the other descending with fingers slightly curled upward right in front of Alex. Even such subtle movements could be felt through the carpet floor the young woman was standing on, as she tried to stand fast and did her best not to fall.


She stared at the gigantic hand in front of her, her black nails standing out against her creamy white-colored skin. Now that she had a close look at it, the color seemed slightly. . .unnatural. In most cases, Alex thought she just had a pale complexion. . .though as she stepped closer, her skin was more akin to the type of large pale boulders she’d see at the beach. Her entire hand was as smooth as them, with not a single grain of dirt or scratch seen on her. Her nails well taken care of, with each one measuring the same length; measuring just somewhat beyond the tips of her fingers.


Alex strolled forward, as she kept her fingers somewhat spread apart. . .but then spread her middle finger and the one next to it away just a bit more. As if opening a path for her to walk. Step by step, the brown haired woman moved between the long, yet massive fingers. While she did, Alex noticed how slim they were in comparison to the rest of her body….even if they were still large enough for her to sit on, like a park bench. She took care not to touch the fingers on either side of her, unsure if she was allowed to ‘touch’ the gods given how Sophia had spread her fingers apart for her to easily walk between.


It came to be a slight problem, however, once reaching the area where her fingers connected to the palm of her hand. The slight webbing between one’s finger in front of her, just a few inches away. . .but if she moved any further forward, she’d no doubt brush against either the webbing or one of her fingers.


“Do I just. . .toss it, drop it, place it here. . .?”

No reply was given, save for a coy smirk playing across Sophia’s features. It was clear she wasn’t going to give her an answer, although she did give a subtle wiggle of her fingers up and down; as if telling her she was eager to accept her gift there and now.


The toy didn’t SEEM like it would break if she tossed it. . .


Leaning forward, she did her best not to brush against the two long fingers on either side of her; arms stretched out forward to hover over the very top palm of her hand. Slowly, she lowered the hands clutching the small cube, until they hovered just an inch over the gigantic pale hand. . .before letting it go. It landed safely within her hand with a faint ‘thump’ that she almost didn’t hear; before slowly rolling down the slight valley of flesh until it came to a halt near the middle of her hand. The many bright colors of the rubik cube stood out with ease against the almost snowy landscape that was Sophia’s hand.


After a few careful measured steps backwards, she bowed her head and walked backwards. An old tradition noted it was considered rude to turn away from the gods unless they allowed it. Part of it was due to a sudden sense of shyness from the otherwise outgoing Alex, not even noticing she felt a slight chill being between Sophia’s fingers until they shifted up and away; replacing the air around her with a somewhat more warm feeling.


Cradling her hand as to not drop the offering, Sophia held it in a manner that both her and Fortia could look it over. Sophia looked amused, while Fortia gave it a somewhat curious look.


“I recall Amber’s father giving us something like. . .a size larger no doubt, and not so. . .fragile.” Sophia commented to herself and fellow god, making Alex worried she might have given them something that they considered unworthy.


“Oh, yeah! His was all randomized while this one has all the colors in place already! I remember you had fun figuring that little puzzle out.” Fortia said, seeming to recall the item in question in a fond manner.


“We accept this offer. . .although you -could- have mixed it up; do you think it too hard for us gods to solve?~” Sophia questioned in an almost teasing tone, but seeming to try and sound serious.


“. . .it was Max’s idea.” Alex threw the man under the bus without a second thought.


The reply caused Fortia to flash her a winning smile, pearly whites on full display that stood out against her darker skin. “Oh, no doubt! However, since she accepted the offering. . .I think it’s only right that I can dooo. . .”


A shadow crept over Alex, as she looked up towards what was causing it. . .only to find Fortia’s massive hand slowly reaching down for her. An uneasy pit of worry at once was felt inside her stomach, as Alex did her best not to let her legs give out from under her - as Fortia’s large digits wiggled about in a subtle manner as her hand moved down for her; eager to have her between them.


She could feel a warmth emitting from Fortia’s hand as it was about to be upon her, the same one felt when the heater turned on during a cold winter day. The bronze skinned goddess was larger than Sophia was, with fingers the same size as a tree would be. It made Alex somehow feel smaller than she already was compared to the two of them.


All of a sudden, the massive hand stopped its descent - the palm of her hand directly over Alex’s hand. So close, that if she were to stand on the tips of her toes, and stretched her hand upward. . .she felt like she’d be able to stroke the surface of her hand. Fortia's fingers touched down on the surface of the carpet around the tomboy, as if forming a cage around the poor young woman. Although she didn’t feel an urge to escape, but to remain where she was.



“Eager to crush her already?” Sophia’s mocking tone was heard, with a ‘Tch’ being heard in the direction of Fortia. In the darkness under the giant's hand, she couldn’t make out their faces anymore.


“No, just eager to hold her. . .you feel the same way.” They were talking about her as if she wasn’t even in the room.


Their voices became harder to hear and more like they were off in the distance, as Fortia shifted her hand. The palm was closer to the ground. Closer to touching Alex, who had fallen upon her rear at the sudden shift in the god’s hand. It was more than close enough for her to touch it, with her heart pounding her ears. She knew they were talking, though all she could focus on was what was above her. Without thinking, she brought her own hand upward. . .at last making contact with it–


It was like a brief electric shock, a gasp escaped her as she laid her hand flat against the palm of Fortia’s hand, refusing to pull away despite how it felt. Gone was the brief static touch, as warmth spread through her entire body; the energy she felt from the titanic super being flowed through her. It reminded her of when she had shared her first kiss, so many years ago. All fear gone, and in its place was warmth and the feeling of butterflies within the pit of her stomach.


She looked at Fortia’s darker skin against her own, much smaller somewhat lighter skin tone. How it stood out, against that wall of flesh above her. Pulsing with warmth and energy so much more than her own. Being this close and encased somewhat under her hand she was feeling a bit warm. Like a warm summer breeze had decided to focus directly on her. She laid her hand flat against it, fingers curled against it as her own nails lightly scratched the surface of the goddessess' palm.


Then, she moved it, exploring the gigantic hand she was trapped under with her own. Forgetting for a moment it was attached to one of the strongest beings in the world. She traced the tips of her fingers across the surface, following the random lines and creases in the palm of her hand. Her other hand pressed against the carpet slightly behind her, using it to help keep her partly sitting up. Though it felt weak. Ready to give out at any moment. . .


All she heard was her heart thumping strongly within her chest, her own breath, and. . .


Nothing else.


She froze up, as reality hit her full force; breaking out of the daze she had found herself in. She was under a hand, but not just any hand. The same one that belonged to one of the two goddesses of this world. . .


She couldn’t hear them speaking anymore, and felt as if all attention was on her; despite being hidden under Fortia’s hand. Unsure of what to do, she had a small moment of panic take over her; giving a nervous laugh before doing something that she wished she hadn’t at once.


Taking her hand away from the much larger one, she reached up and gave it a good solid ‘whack’; as if trying to ‘high-five’ it.

“Nice to meet you!” Alex stated before she knew it.

Nice. To. Meet. You?!


She wanted to run and hide under anything that wasn’t that hand at that moment, mentally screaming at herself in embarrassment. The large wall of flesh above her shifted, showing her two the two faces of–

At once she fell flat on her back, both hands covering her own face; feeling her face flush with heat.


No, no, no, nooooo. . .


Then, she heard it. Both of them above, making an odd sound. She wasn’t sure what it was, but when hearing an odd intake of breath, she dared to peek. . .and wanted to just die there on the spot.


Both Sophia and Fortia had ditched their earlier expressions for ones of contained laughter. Fortia’s cheeks were slightly puffed up, lips thin against each other; formed in a rather amused smile.


Sophia was biting the corner of her lower lip, with the other side turned upward into an amused grin; every now and then chewing on her black painted lips - a small puff of air escaping, causing the warmth Alex had felt turn to brief moments of chilly wind.



“Oh, you’re a treasure~” Sophia said through contained chuckles, with Fortia’s hand high above her - fingers wiggling down at her as if to tease her. “Wondering what else I can get you to ‘squeak’ out if I had pushed down on you any more. . .” The larger of the two declared, both of them seemed quite pleased with her reaction, with Alex slowly moving to stand up again.


“How about we get to know each other a bit more, hmm?” Sophia questioned, with Fortia merely nodding in agreement. “As I think our treasured guest doesn’t quite understand how much we’ve longed for this meeting. . .”


As she spoke, Sophia’s hand started to reach forward towards Alex. . .with the hand Alex had just gotten to ‘know’ from Fortia descending from the sky once more. Both of them seem unable to hold themselves back, as the smaller of the three women in the room tried to steel herself. A mixture of warmth and cold started to be felt as their hands descended.


In a few seconds, she was going to be within their grasp, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Yet. . .


Alex took a step towards the hands, one of her own hands curled against her chest. . .the other started to reach out towards them both with the other.


. . .she was looking forward to it.

==========


  Alex was in a dazed state, unable to fully understand what was happening to her. She was proud of herself for not passing out, while being taken into the grip of one of the two goddesses. She could faintly recall it had been Fortia who had taken hold of her, those large and thick digits easily enclosing her within her fist, with darkness as her only friend. . .and the warmth. It was hard to breathe for a moment, before she saw light, as she laid directly within the palm of the tanned woman’s hand; as both of the large super beings peered down at her.


She felt something shift within her, expanding - like a steady pulse of energy.


Fortia held her directly between the two titan-sized women, leaning over as to help put her somewhat at the same level between herself and Sophia, as she found herself on her back, one of her legs hanging over the edge of the gigantic hand she was now resting within somewhat; her foot finding a resting spot at the bend of her large thumb.


Her head found the area where Fortia’s middle finger and the one next to it connected to the palm of her hand; her arms raised above her head, somewhat grasping the titan’s finger to try and steady herself. Something was off though. It was hard to figure out what, but everything seemed. . .not quite as big?


She was still smaller than the other two, but was semi-aware of the fact that something had caused a slight growth in her own size. The brown haired woman tried to wrap her head around the reason why, but she had other problems to deal with.


The warmth of Fortia’s hand was making her feel as if she was about to work up a sweat. It wasn’t unpleasant, but still hot enough to make her a bit thankful she had on some layer of clothing–


“Ahhh!”

Alex gasped aloud as she felt a chill breeze wash over her, helping to even out the heat radiating from the god’s hand. It was Sophia, as Fortia had held her hand in front of her fellow gods face. . .lips pursed together, while the pale-skinned goddess focused on breathing down on the poor mortal woman within the powerful woman’s grasp.

“Am. . .am I ok?” Alex asked, surprised at her own voice. It was hers, but sounded. . .stronger. She glanced between the two of them, with Fortia explaining as Sophia kept gently blowing on her.

“You are, be at ease. . .although we’ve mixed a very small part of ourselves into you. You are still mortal, but now it will be a little easier to do things to you at this size!” Her large eyes glowing with a soft energy from within; irises now a bright gold color. Almost like the sun.


“Size?” The young woman tried to understand–oh! It clicked with her as she looked at Fortia’s fingers. They were still large, but not quite as big as they were before. . .and when taking a brief look off to the sides she noticed everything didn’t seem as large. Fitting within the hand of the woman; both still gigantic compared to her. Shifting her legs about, noting her own feet dangled over the edge of Fortia’s palm; while her head rested against the tip of the middle finger of her hand.


Oh gods, I’m larger?!


“Will I be like this forever?” Alex asked, a hint of worry detected, despite seeming as if she was on cloud nine. It was as if logic was trying to rise above the sensations she was feeling, but was done away with; when yet another slow, but long lasting cold breeze from Sophia blew across her. Her lips seemed closer–no, they were closer! The pale skinned goddess had inched closer without the young woman noticing, with Fortia’s fingers curling slightly more; as if ready to cage her within her very fist; the tan skinned goddess speaking to her.


“Not unless we will it. This makes it easier fooor–”

Fortia’s other hand could be seen, the tip of her pinkie finger extended. With each stroke from the large digit across Alex’s stomach, causing her to twitch and let out another gasp. . .only for Sophia’s index finger joining forces with Fortia’s pinkie; gently stroking it across her bust. Cooling Alex down at once, as both the cold and heat mixed together.


“--things like this~” Sophia said in that sultry tone, finishing the line for her as if they had practiced it before.


Alex’s body kept twitching every so often under their touch, as the tips of their fingers traced along her body. She felt her head slip between Fortia’s finger as a resting place, thrown back slightly - her body seeming unsure of how to respond. She had started to curl up, but the tip of Sophia’s nail gave her pause, both of the goddesses ceasing their actions for a second. . .before Alex slowly uncurled herself. The gentle sensations of the giant fingers running across her body felt again.


Even in her normal attire and jacket, Alex felt almost naked in Fortia’s hand. How their fingers traced random circles or patterns across her much smaller form. The mixture of Sophia’s chilly touch, only to be replaced by the heat of Fortia’s own digit. It was slowly making her feel light headed, along with the energy she felt them put in her. She was just big enough in the god’s hand that they seemed to have no trouble toying with her body. The brown haired woman closed her eyes, wanting to take it all in. It was. . .almost a rush. Still, she tried to control herself as she felt her limbs being played with.


She could tell Fortia had taken to focusing on her legs. Her thick digit slipped under it, forcing Alex to lift her leg in response due to its girth. She felt it flex under her, causing her leg to bend, as she heard her speak.


“Not bad, not bad. . .seems all that jogging in the morning didn’t go to waste~” Alex was suddenly aware of the fact that despite having pants on, she was -very- happy she had shaved her legs. . .not knowing where this might lead. She felt Fortia’s large fingers shift away, before returning to slightly ‘pinch’ at them. It wasn’t painful, but there was a firm amount of pressure on one of her legs; as if testing it. For a brief moment, she was worried she might be snapped like a twig as she became tense–

“Shhhhh. . .no harm will come to you. . .just enjoy it~” Sophia whispered to her, as she felt the cold grip of the other god’s fingers start to toy further with her as well. Unlike with Fortia, it seemed Sophia was curious about other parts of her. The tip of her nail dug into Alex’s hip, before making its way up and across her body; soon pinching and rolling her arm carefully between her cold digits.


There was a slight hint of roughness from Fortia, yet with Sophia everything felt. . .measured. The young woman was becoming close to the literal meaning of ‘putty in their hand’ before long, eyes still closed as Alex focused on what they were doing to her.


Her legs toyed with. . .her arms. . .there was even a point where they turned her over and traced along her backside. Then, Fortia lightly brushed her index finger against her bottom, feeling warmth in her cheeks, biting her bottom lip.


Be cool. . .be cool. . .they’re just looking you over. . .


The small woman jerked slightly as she felt her legs being somewhat forced apart by Sophia’s finger. The cold touch felt through the pants she was wearing. Trailing further and further upward. . .


Without thinking about it Alex’s lips parted, biting down on the webbing between Fortia’s fingers.. Her hands gripping at each finger beside her, as the tomboy felt her entire world tremble for a moment. Despite the size difference, Alex could sense the tan titan could feel it somewhat. Maybe the god noticed how Alex had ducked her head between the fingers; as if wishing to vanish from the very world she was born in.


Oh my gods, this is really happening.


The finger between her legs ceased its actions before going too far. Maybe they wanted to respect her. . .maybe their fingers were still too big, as her legs had started to be spread a biiit further apart than she’d like them to be–


A sudden ‘playful’ tap was given to her rear end, causing her to jerk about again and whip her body partly around, flashing the offending tan finger a bit of a glare.


“Can I help you?!” Alex barked before forgetting who she was saying that to, as she quickly gained the classic ‘deer in headlights’ look.


Oh, fuck me.


Both of the gods looked ready to burst out laughing again, almost sharing the same grin this time around!


“Oh, we’re keeping you.” Fortia declared without shame, Sophia’s eyebrow quirked upward, looking down at Alex. “Hmmm, she did keep us waiting last night. . .even got dressed up and wore my favorite heels too~” Sophia chimed in a mock hurt manner, surprising Alex for a moment - who responded before she had time to stop and think about it.


“Well, no one told me.” Alex said in a matter of fact tone, biting her bottom lip after saying that. She wasn’t quite sure if this was just her normal defense kicking in, or if she had just gone full idiot mode.


“Oh-ho?~” Sophia focused intently at Alex, a coy smirk seen on her painted lips. “Well, consider yourself informed and we expect you to make it up to both of us.”


Fortia would nod, still cupping Alex within her grasp. “I believe it’s called a ‘make-up’ date? As it stands, it’s only fair we each have a turn with you after you have settled in. Unless you want to take us both here and now?” The larger goddess said in an almost. . .taunting manner.


Alex knew choosing such a fate would leave her no doubt a withered husk. She liked being able to exist. It was nice, existing that is.


“I think I’ll get settled in. . .umm. . .” Both gods looked down at her in a curious manner, as the mortal went on. “. . .am I like. . .getting. . .hiiiired ‘ere for something ooor. . .?”

At once, both of the women before her gave her a smile. It was the one made when someone decided on something that said person would later regret.

“Okay, welp!” Alex brought a hand up towards her cheek and mouth, pressing the side of her mouth against the palm of her hand. She had the look of someone wishing they could crawl off somewhere and be forgotten, unable to look either of them in the eye. The two gods edged their billboard sized faces closer, causing Alex to somewhat pull herself a bit closer up to the fingers; a glance given to the floor below.


She pondered for a moment if a fall at this height would be bad or not. . .


“In a manner of speaking, you are both a guest, but also someone expected to attend to certain duties. Of which, the man that brought you here will inform you of.” Sophia said, explaining a bit of what was to come. “All over the world, the festival held in our name will proceed for several days. Some longer than others. While we will not be here all the time, when we are, you will be summoned to take on tasks at certain moments.” Alex noted how Sophia was staying vague, a thing that caused her to look unsure, but it was hard to think due to all of this happening so quickly. . .and whatever was emitting from them both was making her mind hazy. She couldn’t quite think clearly.


“I’d urge you to heed Maxim’s words well. While you will be a favored and loved guest among these halls, that will not allow you to escape punishment should you decide to not do as you are told.” Sophia said, her tone shifting from playful and coy, to. . .a somewhat more serious one.


Fortia, however, was still grinning - as she chimed in right after. “You’ll do just fine, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that! Best for us to take turns with you, but before we send you on your way. . .”

The massive hand shifted as Fortia and Sophia readjusted themselves; although Alex had a hard time seeing it as she at once clutched the thick digits on either side of her. Trying to place her feet somewhere against a fold in the palm of the giant.


When everything came to a halt, she heard Sophia speak. “Stand.”


Alex stayed where she was for a moment, before slowly hoisting herself up - noting both of the goddess faces on each side of the hand she was in. Fortia’s head tilted at an angle, while Sophia was looking at her dead on.


“Ok, now what–”

Before she could finish, both of the super beings staring directly at her closed in at once; moving in sync with one another. As they did, it felt as if they were both getting larger as they moved closer to her. . .or that she was shrinking, as Alex felt that energy course through her once again.


What’s going–


Whatever thought had begun to form inside that shell she called a brain, the young woman was swept up in a torrent of hot and cold; as the goddess kissed either side of her.


Alex had been staring towards the door, as she felt Fortia’s larger lips against her right; feeling as if she had gotten up close to a furnace that had just turned on. Her mouth was easily larger than Alex was;  she could tell that if Fortia chose to, the well built woman could force her inside with plenty of room to spare. Her lips were closed, pursed slightly as they pushed against Alex, causing her to hold up an arm to try and stop her; her hand gripping the dark skinned woman’s upper lip; a somewhat plush feeling to them as they yielded to her hand. Her upper lip shifted upward in response, giving Alex a very up close and personal look at her upper front teeth. A sight that sent a shiver down her spine, as the poor fated tomboy saw how spotless they were–


“Ahhh!”

Like before, Sophia snuck up on her, her lips pressing against her left side. Painted black lips almost engulfing most of Alex’s mouth. While the smaller of the two, the young woman knew Sophia had no trouble forcing her into her maw. Her lips were much softer than Fortia, as the brown haired woman felt her hand almost sink into her pillowy lips. Something that surprised her, causing her to lose her grip as her hand and most of her arm slipped between her lips. . .freezing as she felt Sophia’s teeth capture it between her arms.


It was at that moment, despite what they had done to her, how easily Alex knew they could end her. The power she felt pinching her arm between those pearly whites. . .how sturdy and strong Fortia’s hand was. Their very breath was enough to almost topple her over, as she felt the hot gust of wind from Fortia’s mouth, and Sophia’s winter-like breath increased. Becoming more excited. . .


There was no shame between the two of them, as Alex saw what little of the room she could view between both of the lips slowly vanished as they pressed against her. . .trapped between both of their lips, as the mortal felt both of their mouths open just a tad. . .


She quickly lost sense of what was up or down, as the titans shared a kiss between one another; with Alex caught in the middle of it all; becoming wet due to their saliva, as their tongues eagerly explored the shrunken woman between them. Their lips opened further, as Alex felt both of their tongues flick and toy with her, until she landed on both of the giant wiggling pink beasts. Judging from how the air felt, her lower half was resting on top of the tanned goddess tongue, while her upper half was feeling the winter breeze within Sophia’s maw; laying flat on her back against the god’s tongue. Alex was lost and confused for a moment, but a spark of fear was felt when both of their teeths gently clamped down on her stomach and lower back.


They could easily bite her in two.


The thought kicked in a primal fear then and there, as she started to struggle - only to hear both of the gods emit a low chuckle; echo about all around her - feeling it down to her very bones while within their maws. They seem to welcome her struggles, as their tongues slowly explore each part of her that belonged to their mouth. She felt a somewhat harsh tug on her lower half, as Fortia began to suck on her end of Alex. The larger god’s tongue roughly licked across her legs, extremely thankful for her pants being on still. Her legs were forced upward, as the god pressed her legs against the front upper part of her mouth. Causing her stomach to be pressed further against her upper front teeth, wincing slightly as she felt them dig into her.


There was an odd feeling against her lower half. . .before all of a sudden, she felt something–


Hey!


Somehow, Fortia had used both her tongue and well timed suctions to pull off Alex’s shoes. She still had her socks on, but that didn’t seem to slow Fortia down. The tip of her tongue explored her sock covered feet, drenching them within seconds. Seeming to focus on her legs and feet, as Fortia clearly enjoyed whatever she was tasting. With each suck, Alex felt the teeth dig further and further into her. A part of her became worried she might very well be chomped in half. . .


Her thoughts left her, as she felt her upper body tugged almost further into Sophia’s slightly smaller mouth, held in place by her teeth. It was hard to see due to the lack of light, but she could make out a somewhat darker spot; the back of Sophia’s throat. The fear within her sparked anew, as she was worried they might decide to just devour her after all.


Calm down, calm down. . .Max said that wasn’t–ooh!


Sophia enjoyed focusing on her upper half. . .namely her chest. The tip of the pale skinned goddess’ tongue dragged across the surface of her shirt, pressing against her chest. It was much more gentle than Fortia. Lazily dragging it across both her bust and face. . .then, for a brief moment, felt the tip of the large pink beast pressing itself against her lips. Kissing her with it, causing Alex to open her own mouth and gasp in response. It traced itself across her lips, almost seeming to lightly probe at the smaller woman’s open mouth. Something that had no chance of happening, given the size difference. THAT would be the end of her, if Sophia forced her tongue fully into Alex’s mouth.


Thankfully, it seemed that wasn’t the case. Like with her lower half, she felt her body swept onto the tongue and forced against the roof of Sophia’s mouth. She had expected it to be a bit rough, like Fortia’s felt against her legs and feet. However, it was almost. . .soft? Not as rigid as it should be. Almost. . .gummy? It was an odd feeling, making Alex almost want to lick the top of her own mouth to see if it was supposed to feel that way.


All of a sudden, Sophia’s tongue shifted smoothly to the side, forcing Alex to bend backwards with her upper body, falling into the space under the tongue. . .only for it to fall down on her without a care in the world. The tongue rested on top of her, making it clear who was in charge as Alex tried to remember how to breathe under the somewhat heavy feeling muscle; propping her elbows against the bottom of her mouth; directly into a small pool of saliva that had started to gather under her tongue.


With a firm press downward, Alex felt her elbows give out from under her, as her upper body was partly forced into the pool of saliva; lucky to be just big enough that her face could remain above the surface. The poor and abused woman felt her heart beating harshly within her chest, as if wanting to escape and find a new body to be within. There were times where it was hard to breathe, as the bottom of Sophia’s tongue layed on top of her, before lifting up just enough to provide her with ‘fresh air’. . .that cold winter wind that seemed to emit from Sophia’s throat being breathed in by Alex in turn. It took all her strength to keep her face above the pool of saliva her upper body was being forced into; as at this point Alex was drenched in a layer of Sophia’s saliva.


Both of the gods had become her entire world.


Alex refused to just take it, thrusting her arms up with all her might against the large and thick tongue bullying her with quickened breath. Shocked to see it work as the tongue relented, and shifted upward. Be it either due to Sophia’s feeling of mercy or some incredible feat of short lived strength during her moment of panic, she had gained her freedom for a few brief seconds. The small woman hoisted herself up by gripping the sides of her teeth; her best chance of pulling herself up and out from under that bullying tongue. Despite the amount of saliva swirling about Sophia’s maw.


Gasping for air, she cleared the tongue and fell back against it. Free. . .but it seemed it wasn’t meant to be for long - as she felt the pressure from their teeth release. . .and her world was sent for a tumble. As Fortia’s tongue forced Alex fully into Sophia’s mouth for a moment. . .only for the smaller goddess to return the favor; as the poor girl felt herself thrust into the larger heated maw of the well built goddess. Before long, they started to focus more on the kiss itself, with Alex being the ‘treat’ traded between their tongues as they explored the other’s mouths. . .


The gods were swapping her between each other as if Alex was nothing. A deep rumbling moan emitted from the back of Fortia’s throat, while Sophia’s was more reserved, but had a hint of longing in it. It was hard to tell what was going on. At times she was fully inside one of their mouths; thrust against the roof of said mouth as it licked all across her body. Then flicked with ease between the spot where their teeth and inner cheek were; as she felt the pressure become more intense as one of them sucked on her clothed body. Like she was some piece of candy that didn’t have a will of its own.


The passage of time was lost to her, though she garnered an idea of who was who. Whenever in Fortia's mouth, she felt herself more often than not placed against her inner cheek - a harsh sucking that made Alex feel light headed and her ears pop. Trapped between her back molars right in the middle, causing her to squirm and kick her legs about - which Fortia seemed to fancy, as her tongue was intent on focusing on Alex’s lower half.


Faintly in the back of her head, Alex noted whenever the well built goddess found her sock clad feet, Fortia would focus on them. Placing them and her legs between her teeth, her tongue roughly lapping them up, or feeling as if whenever Fortia flicked her tongue upward that she wanted Alex to press her feet against the roof of her mouth. After a few attempts, Alex complied with the ‘request’, stomping and kicking her feet against the roof of Fortia’s mouth, causing a sigh of enjoyment emit from the back of the god’s throat; urging Alex to somewhat boldly repeat the action several times while laying her back against the surface of Fortia’s slightly wide tongue.


Then Alex was traded into Sophia’s patiently awaiting mouth, where the colder goddess seemed to take greater care in what she did, focusing on rolling Alex across her teeth. There were times Alex felt she was going to just chomp down on her, but it never came. . .skillfully catching her entire body between her back molars. . .lightly shifting them about her body; as the smaller woman within felt she was leaving bite marks in her wake as Sophia started to gently chew on her. Every part of her was treated with care, although Alex was finding herself starting to lose her strength each time her teeth pressed against her body. . .


Their efforts wore her down, her body becoming more limp over time.


For a moment, Alex was left in Sophia’s mouth, head laying flat down against the back of her tongue. Tilting her head upward, Alex saw the darkness of the throat was close. Too close for her liking.


Then, for a few terrifying moments, Alex felt gravity shift. . .the looming darkness seemed to beckon her, as she started to slide down towards that darker spot within her maw–


Then, the small woman felt gravity shift in the other direction rather suddenly, as the soaking body of Alex slipped out from between those painted black lips of Sophia, onto Fortia’s awaiting hand. . .a thick strand of saliva connected between Sophia’s closing lips and Alex’s rather limp body; the strand breaking once the pale goddess pulled away.


Her eyes stung slightly, as she was drenched from head to toe in both of their saliva. Some of it held some warmth to it, while other bits of it felt cold to the touch. Almost like some sort of thick gel. She coughed a few times, a mixture of Sophia and Fortia’s saliva coughing out a bit that Alex had gotten in her mouth - able to breath normal air at long last.


“. . .I trust that will ensure you don’t forget this first meeting?~” Sophia whispered to her, as she brought some sort of large sheet to dab at her lips. Fortia merely wiped her lips on the back of her other arm, speaking down to Alex who was slowly recovering. “Sorry about that, we just had to enjoy you a little bit! Let’s get you looking more proper again.”


Alex felt the air heat up around her, as if someone had taken a great giant hair dryer, in this case Fortia’s focused stream of breath directed right down on her. There was a slight tingle as well, the one felt when magic was involved, as she noted her clothes and hair start to dry. . .however, by the end of it she was still damp and missing her shoes.


The brown haired woman stared down at her sock-clad feet, wiggling her toes as if to ensure she still had all ten. Check, check, check. . .


“Everything is in order, don’t worry about it! You’ll return to normal shortly.” Fortia declared, seeming rather content for the time being. Even though the look in her eyes made it clear she wanted to do more with poor Alex.


The now somewhat damp tomboy found herself nodding in response, her hair all over the place, not quite paying attention to the fact Sophia’s index finger gently pressed down on her head and the back of it; as if trying to smooth out her wild look. “Maxim will show you where you’ll be living from now on,” the green-eyed goddess said, with Fortia moving to stand up; causing Alex to crouch down and clutch one of her fingers; as she started to walk forward.


“Only polite to show you to the door, let’s get you back to Maxim.” She declared, heading for where the lift in the wall was. Each step from Fortia could be felt throughout her fit form, with Alex watching down below those massive broad feet of the tanned goddess make the journey from where they were to the elevator within just a few seconds, where it had taken much longer for Alex to trek across. She was noticing that sense of magic within her slowly ebb away, as the finger she was clutching soon between too much for arms to wrap around fully. It was almost as if Fortia was growing larger; but was in fact Alex slowly reverting back to her normal size.


Crouching near the double doored entrance, Alex shakely made her way off the giant’s hand. Almost falling over when hopping out from her hand, turning to look up at her as she stood tall and proud. . .watching as Alex shrunk back down to size. It made Alex look up at the titan in awe as she seemed all the more impressive at her full height, ‘growing’ almost due to the smaller of the two shrinking right before her eyes.


Soon enough, she was back to her normal height and able to enter the door; though before she could leave, she heard Fortia above her.


“Pssst. . .”

Turning back and looking up towards her, she received a rather cocky grin from the god, watching as Fortia captured her own chin between her tree trunk sized fingers; the index finger curling slightly under it, while the thumb rested somewhat against the front of her jawline.


“Sophia has things to attend to first, so I’ll be getting you the first day or so. Hope you’re looking forward to it, as I cannot wait to feel you under me. . .” Her head remained staring down at her, but her eyes briefly glanced further down, causing Alex to look down as well.


She saw both of her gigantic feet before her, shifting about as one stood before her, while the other shifted slightly behind the heel of the other.


Fortia raised the tan broad foot in front of Alex, before hovering it over her - causing the damp woman to stare dumbly upward at it. The foot flexing and rotating slightly, the tips of her toes pointed downward as she lowered it towards the helpless woman in it’s shadow–


Only to shift it at the last moment, and place her toes mere inches away from in front of Alex. An audible THUNK heard when the massive wall of flesh lightly stomped down in front of her; Alex’s hair fluttering about around her after it had made contact with the carpet floor.


The warmth was easily detected from it, as a mixture of scents greeted her. It was hard to describe, but it was almost like something one could smell when bathing in a hot spring on the edge of a mountain, mixed in with Fortia’s natural scent. A slight hint of the forest mingled in as well. It was hard to wrap her head around it, but the subtle shifts of those tanned toes lifting off the ground before lowering again. . .grinding against each other. . .knowing that even her ‘smallest’ toe could easily pin her under it, and have its way. . .


In the back of her head, Alex wondered how much time and effort went into doing such minor, but controlled movements with one’s foot. Something that struck her as odd.


Then, she cast her gaze skyward again, only to find Fortia grinning from ear to ear, a wink thrown down at her, before nodding towards the door. “See you soon. . .Alex~”


When Fortia said her name, it was different from her somewhat husky voice. It was direct and the clear note of longing in it, as the god let the name slip from her mouth in a drawn out manner. A shiver went down her spine, with Fortia seeming to notice this. Causing her smile to widen.


With that, the shoeless brown haired woman slowly turned around and headed for the door. Ready to reunite with Max after such events, as Alex started to feel sore all over, and wondering what would happen next. . .


Everlight: Part 5

  As Alex stepped out of the massive bedroom containing the two gods, she stared at the elevator that was across the room. The door slid shut with a solid ‘click’. On the other side of the double doors behind her, she heard the sounds of Fortia walking away - loud, heavy weighted thumping behind her. The first few made her brace herself, before they grew distant. The further away they got, the clearer she could think–


The sound of someone munching on something crispy could be heard, as Alex turned to face the source of it.


“So!” Max stood there where she had last seen him, leaning with his back against the wall - a bag of fries within his grasp. He plucked at two to three at a time, bringing them to his mouth and taking a bite out of the fries with a slight crunching sound.


She stared at him, hair slightly messy, with a bit of a damp look. As if she had just gotten out of the shower, and had recently blown dry her hair. Her clothing was full of wrinkles, and the brown haired woman could feel how cold the floor was; with her feet clad only in a pair of somewhat dry socks.


“How was sugar and spice? Did they find you rather nice?~” The suited man asked her with a bit of a grin, with Alex finding herself scowling at him. Her eyes briefly darted down towards the fries. The taller man pushed off against the wall, strolling towards her in a laid back manner. Pausing roughly half a foot away from her, offering her the jumbo-sized container, with a number of lightly seasoned fries within. Although there was only half remaining.


“Fries?” He offered with a straight face, causing Alex to stare up at him. . .maintaining her gaze, as she slowly reached up to take a small fistful out of it, making him raise an eyebrow. “Sheesh, guess they worked you up enough to make you hungry again, huh? Well, once you’re ready, we’ll get you to your quarters and settle in.” The young woman merely nodded in response, shoving a few fries into her mouth.



Taking a moment to chew them up and swallow, the brown haired woman found herself remembering how to speak like a proper person. “Uhhh. . .” A pause as she coughed, taking a moment to gather up some remaining saliva in her mouth; swallowing to try and clear her throat.


“Is all that. . .normal?” She asked.


Max gave Alex a ‘clueless’ face, munching on a pair of fries, before speaking. “Is what normal?” He asked in return, in an almost ‘innocent’ manner.

A scowl split across the tomboy’s lips when he said that, gesturing with a free hand from herself towards the double doors.

“That!” She exclaimed, with Max glancing from the door, then back to her. Staring for a moment.


He reached for another fry, only for a hardened glare to make him pause and chuckle.


“It depends. Right now, they’re still high off the festival, so with most others they restrain themselves. Somewhat. Although, they were quite excited to meet you!” Max expressed, as he’d gesture towards the elevator, pressing a button on the side to call for it.



Alex frowned slightly when thinking about it, before looking up at him, asking him the big question yet again. “But, like, -why- are they excited about me?”


Max smiled when she asked that, deciding to fill her in as they waited.


“Because you’re different from the ones they had before. Almost all the others were what some called heroes. . .some villains. Members descended from royalty, while others came from extremely wealthy families. With you? You’re something fresh compared to all of them.”


Alex stared up at him, waiting for him to reveal something. That she did in fact have royal blood in her. Maybe she was secretly from a line of heroes and didn’t know it. She could be special and be born with magical–


“You’re normal.” Max exclaimed.


The shorter of the two looked up at him in an almost dumb founded manner, a beautiful chime heard as the doors opened, as the elevator had arrived at last.


“Normal? Just. . .normal?” She’d repeat back to him, as the two of them entered the elevator doors slowly closing behind them. Max took a second to let her get settled in, before pushing one of the many buttons, and they’d sense themselves starting to go higher. . .then it felt as if they had stopped and. . .were moving off to the side.


“Well, not TOO normal. I mean, if we went too hard on that, I think it’d sort of back fire. Your name was listed among a number of others, but you got chosen after they looked through the rest! I think liking both of them on a sort of equal level diiiid help you net some big points! Most tend to favor one over the other.” Max expressed to her, as Alex tried to process the reasoning she was here.


“So, lottery winning, but they just liked the numbers I chose?” She said in almost disbelief, with Max closing one eye, head swaying from left to right briefly. “Mmmm, sort of. Last time they picked someone it was from a very wealthy family that had members from their lineage picked before. Howeeeever–” He consumed another fry or two.


“--there is a reason behind wanting someone like you. You see, when you start picking favorites that don’t really come from where the everyday person comes from? You tend to only hear a certain side. Do the -people- like them just as much? Less? Maybe even more! Being in an echo chamber, even if you do enjoy hearing people praise and talk about you, can be unwise. So, the two big gals decided to have a crack at something different! Less of a yes man, and more of a. . .well. . .someone like you.” He said, gesturing towards her with a free hand.


Alex held up a hand, trying to figure out how to word her next question; which Max waited for with a smile.


“Ok. So, they want to hear my thoughts on them? Like, my real thoughts and how people like ‘me’ feel too?” She said, with Max giving her a small wink, along an odd sound from his mouth. “Bingo-bango~” He declared with a bigger grin, with Alex rolling her eyes at him. “Nobody says that anymore. My -grandpa- doesn’t say that anymore.” She replied with a huff, with Max making a mock wounded expression on his face.


“Now -that- sounds like someone who doesn’t want any more of theeese~” Max gave a slight shake of his container that still held a number of fries in it.


“Ok, so–” She’d not react to the fries comment, something that made Max look almost offended by. “--how does all this work? Am I going to sit in on some meetings between, like, world leaders or something?” A small ‘pffft’ emitted from Max’s lips, shaking his head.


“What? Going to sit down, have a gal-pal talk, look over some magazines and talk about how cute the people are in it?” Alex said with a small laugh and amused look. . .though it shifted to an uneasy one, as Max gave her a grin.


Another fry was consumed by him, with the only sound heard in the elevator was a simple crunching while Maxed chewed it up.


“. . .you’ve got to be fuckin’ kidding me.” She said with a dry tone.


“No ma’am, that’s the honest truth of it. Though you’re also going to be working a bit to earn your keep! Free ride is nice, but too much of it might make you lose your edge. That, and we’ll need to train you as well.” He said, with Alex giving him a curious look. “Train me for what?” She asked, with Max giving her a look.


“The type of ‘worship’ you’ve learned growing up is nooot quite the same here. You’ll be doing such a thing much more. . .direct.” He cleared his throat, ceasing his fry eating for the time being.


“Most of the time it’ll be just you, but other times they might call for you and a few others. When they want that group attention. When that happens, I’d urge you to pay close attention to how the others act. You’ll see what I mean when I say, normal.” He said in an off-handed way, causing Alex to look unsure after that.


“What’s that mean?”

Before he could reply, a soft chime was heard, as the elevator arrived at its chosen destination.


“Here we are, a bit of a walk to the next area!” With that, Max gestured for Alex to exit, following right behind her as she did.


It dawned on Alex within seconds that they were in a rather fancy looking hallway. The one might see at a wealthy mansion that was several decades old.


“Are we in the temple?!” Alex asked in shock, feeling the nice red carpet beneath their feet. With Max nodding as he waved for her to follow him down the hall. She followed, looking out the windows as she passed them. A massive green landscape was seen outside, but the stained-glass windows made it hard to see much beyond that.


There was a large pair of brown well polished oak doors at the end with a golden handle on each of them, as Max spoke again.


“It’s undergone a number of rebuilds. For now, they still favor castle stuff. Easier to get around, more color to it than what they had before. . .and you’ll be living here for the time being!” Max expressed, making Alex pause for a moment. A look of confusion written across her face.


“Wait, I thought I was going to live in that place we saw underground?” She questioned, with Max nodding as he stood in front of the doors, turning to face the favored one.


“Aaaand you will! Just not yet. See, you’re the new gal in town. It’d be a real hassle if you lived down there, as it’ll take longer for you to get to ol’ sun and moon. Trust me, the place down stairs is extremely nice, but everyone starts here. Hasn’t been used in about five decades since the last guy.” Max explained, making her give him an odd look.


“. . .and how long am I staying here?” She asked the blonde haired man, who merely held up his arm and tugged back on his sleeve, checking on his watch hidden beneath it.


“It differs for everyone, but for now? I think getting you inside and in a new set of clothes would do you some good, yeah?” Placing a hand on his hip, the other gestured in shoeless-one’s general direction; causing Alex to look down at herself. Wiggling her sock-clad toes as they stood out against the red carpet floor she was standing on.


“Alright, alright. That seems fair. . .” It wasn’t just her lack of shoes, but she was slowly starting to ache all over. Whatever had happened back with the two gods had started to fade, leaving only an aching body in their wake.

“Not feeling too hot? Guess it’s fading.” Max said, opening the door for her - as he led her inside where Alex found herself. . .


. . .inside what seemed to be a larger, better version of where she lived in her apartment.

“Uhhh. . .” Alex had a look of confusion on her. It was still made up of three rooms. A living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. However, the space was larger, and while containing all of her stuff, they were all new and improved. She noticed her more personal belongings were in the places they had been before.


There was also. . .other things as well.


On the coffee table between the couch and television set was a number of gifts, all wrapped up like it was Alex’s birthday already. A small stack awaited her, different sizes and shapes. Dozens of wall papers and pictures were seen about her room. . .all of them either of both goddesses or one of them. They seem to be striking different poses, each one wearing a different outfit.


One showed Sophia and Fortia holding a globe of the planet between them in space, eyes closed and focused on something. Another showed Fortia lifting an entire skyscraper above her head with one hand, grinning at the viewer, with the logo ‘Never stop improving!’ under it. Then there was one of Sophia in a dark emerald dress with a slit up the side, just like in that butler and maid ad she had seen before. However, unlike the former it held no other person in it. She was merely laying on her side, one leg practically fully exposed up to her hip. Eyes half closed, and a devilish smirk seen on the god’s painted black lips.


There were a number of others, but what was begging her attention above all of these, was what was waiting for her on the couch.


Resting on either side of the couch, with a spot free in between, no doubt for her, were two large stuffed dolls that were made in the image of Sophia and Fortia. They were wearing the outfits they had been sporting during the midnight hour at the festival. Though they were more, what Alex knew as, ‘Chibified’. Smiling faces with buttons for eyes. Despite it being the type one would hope to win at their local fair, they seemed to be rather high quality.


Nothing was said for a moment, as Alex just. . .stared. The tomboy turned towards Max, who looked down at her with a smile on his face.


The young woman then spoke in a rather flat tone. “My room looks like I just won some runner-up prizes on a game show.”


The well dressed man merely flashed her a grin, before looking over at the large stuffed dolls. “I think many would be jealous!”

“It’s tacky.” She said without thinking, still sore all over and somewhat drained.


“Ahhh, come on! Who doesn’t want two lovely ladies looking at them; all day and night, for the rest of their lives? Could be worse!” He said in a rather happy tone, which Alex only found herself scowling.


“It’s corporate.” Alex declared with clear distaste slipping into her voice.


“Mmmm, not quite! I mean, I think they’d be hurt to know they took all these new and personal photos for you this morning, and only for you!” The Enforcer expressed, causing Alex to do a bit of a double take at both him and the objects within the room.


“Wait, all of them?” She felt an odd feeling in the pit of her stomach when hearing that, unable to pinpoint why she felt like that.

“Yuuuup! I watched as they had our people take them! That building was a tricky one, as they had to reinforce it so it didn’t crumble when she held it up and on its side like that! They even hand picked the gifts they wanted to give to you!” Stating that, Max gestured towards the gifts on the table, as Alex felt. . .nervous.


“They. . .did all this for me?” The dryness and distaste in her voice vanished, as a bit of a unsure, but somewhat excited one replaced it. It made her feel. . .special. It was also slowly dawning on Alex that this wasn’t a dream, and that she had in fact just had a first time meeting with both of the larger-than-life titans. . .and a ‘personal’ one at that.


Her knees started to buckle, as she felt a gentle hand press against her arm; as Max would guide her towards the empty spot on the couch. Once she was seated between the Sophia and Fortia dolls, Max stood up a bit to the side; so as to not block her view of the presents.


With a glance given to the tomboy, Max would stroll off into the kitchen - opening the fridge and viewing was inside. Reaching in, he pulled out a simple bottle of water, before closing the door to the fridge, and returning to Alex’s side. Without a word, he offered her the water. Accepting it with a small nod, as she took off the cap and guzzled down half the bottle at once. A small trickle of water dripped down the corner of her mouth.


For a moment, nothing was said - as Alex just. . .took a moment to rest. With Max standing off to the side, waiting.


Silence hung in the air, until after a few moments of it, the man cleared his throat, causing Alex to look up at him from her position between the large dolls.


“How about we open the gifts, yeah?” He urged her, with an unsure look on her face again, as the tomboy looked down at her current attire.


“Well, I’m for it, but it’d be nice to change first.” She noted, with Max grinning at her all of a sudden. “Oh, I think there’s a few things in here you can wear! In fact, double-trouble told me to tell you that they expect to see you in -all- the things they’ve given you!” Max alerted her, causing her to give a wary look at the gifts now.


“What, like I’m some sort of doll?” She asked with a huff, with Max peering down at the boxes, poking around as if looking for one in particular. “Let’s seee. . .” He’d muse to himself, with Alex grunting a ‘Don’t you ignore me. . .’ under her breath at him.


Max placed within her lap two small boxes. One was a simple square that was about as big as her hand, while the other was a bit more taller and lean than the first one. “I thiiink these two go together. Smaller one first!” Max urged her, with Alex giving the box a somewhat annoyed look, slowly unwrapping it. . .


. . .only to pause as she saw a hint of what it was, and quickly tore open the rest of it.


“Woah, woah, wooooah!” Alex exclaimed, feeling as if she had gained a second wind, as she held a simple black box within her grasp; with a picture of a grinning cartoon Seagull on it, wearing a baseball cap. Behind the seagull was a white baseball, with a ‘1st edition’ seen on the bottom right of the box. She wasted very little time in opening the box, as she’d find said baseball inside. . .with a number of names scribbled about on it.


“Oh crap, oh crap! No way!” There was excitement in her tone, as she held the baseball like it was made of glass. Slowly, she turned it over between her hands. Noting all the names on it. . .it was the entire Seagull’s baseball team!

“This must have cost a fortune! Is this legit?!” She asked, as if expecting it to be some cheap knock off, with Max shaking his head - a light-hearted laugh emitted from him. He’d reach over to nudge the other gift in her lap towards her. “Noooope, all legit! Made sure to see to the signing of it myself when we got it! This goes with it.” With that being said, Alex placed the ball within her lap and against her stomach, opening the next one.


It held the same mascot on the front of the black box, just taller and thinner in size. Behind it was the picture of simple silver bars crossing over each other, with brown wooden bottom holding them together.


Making sure to take care in opening it, Alex noted there was a small gold plate at the front of the board. . .with it reading; Property of Alex Fae.


“This is FIRST. EDITION.” Alex exclaimed, showing it off to Max - who gave a somewhat comically ‘Impressed’ face, nodding as he did so. “Veeery nice!” He said with a grin, causing Alex to scowl at him. “Oh my goddesses, this is just. . .hoooo. . .” She was clearly trying to not over react, though it was hard. “Want me to put it on your desktop next to your bed?” He asked, holding his hands out to her, only for her to recoil and grip both the ball and stand closer to her; as if he was about to steal it.


“I prooomise to treat them like my own child~” He said in a teasing tone, earning him another scowl from Alex. . .who slowly relented and handed them over. Picking them up, Max stood up in a slow manner, gripping each one in his hand. . .as he started to ‘sing’ some off-beat fake ‘hymn’ of sorts. First he placed the stand on the desk, then, gripping the ball with both hands, he lowered it onto the stand as if he was a holy man crowning a king; causing a snort to emit from Alex in response.


Sliding back over to her, the Enforcer took a seat on the floor to the side, searching for the next gift to give his companion. The next several gifts didn’t quite spark the same feeling as the first two had. Ranging from nice shirts and pants, the type of clothing she wore on a day to day basis.


A few, however, made her pause and question them.


“Ok, I -have- to ask you something. . .uhhh, just between us.” She said, sounding a bit unsure as Max leaned forward. She was holding in her grasp a pair of black socks with orange tips on the toes and heel section. On the sole of the socks was the letter F. Clearly standing for Fortia.


“Real talk, when I was in there, I noticed she sort of. . .” She paused, wondering if it was wise to question it out loud, with Max merely giving her an eager curious look. “When I was–do you even know what happened?” She asked with a judgemental look, with Max glancing off to the side. . .then looking back at her with a thoughtful look on his face.


“If it makes you feel better, I’ve heard of others getting it way rougher, but go on?” A hand gestured for her to go on from him.


“Ok, ok. . .does she have a thing for these?” She’d wave the socks at him, as he gave a mock confused look. Glaring at him, the brown haired woman pointed towards her sock-clad feet, with Max looking down at them as well.


“I mean, I would hope someone enjoys every part of themselves.” He said with a straight face, with Alex merely groaning as she shook her head, causing Max to laugh.


“Sorry, sorry! Anyways, all I’ll say is if you think that? Can’t hurt to talk to -her- about that, and see if it’s true! Remember, part of the meet and hanging out experience. Be wrong of me to ruin that for you two. Although, I am sure she’d love to see you wearing those next time you meet up!” He reassured her with a smile to boot, although the tomboy wasn’t quite sold on it.


A few more gifts were opened. A new baseball jersey, a hat with the Seagull logo on the front. . .then it started to move away from Alex’s favorite baseball team, and onto–


“What in the FUCK is this?” She was NOT impressed by what she was holding up in front of her.


It was pink, frilly, and large.


Everything she hated.


“It’s a princess dress!” Max said with a smile!


“It’s a mistake.” She shot back at once, as Max took it and held it up in front of her as if they were choosing outfits at a store. It was a one piece princess gown. The one most expected to see on a doll for young girls, causing Alex to scowl at it as if it had offended her in some manner. “I am -not- wearing that. . .which one even WANTED me to have THAT?!” A finger pointed at the pink outfit, wishing she could just burn it then and there. “And don’t you try to weasel out of this with a ‘Ask them yourselllllf~” She said in a mock version of his voice.


“Oh, Fortia got it for you!”


She looked over at Max, as if expecting him to finish a joke. . .only to find there was no punch line.


“This seems waaaay more like Sophia’s thing, not Fortia. . .why’d she want me to WEAR this?” She asked again with a look of disbelief, with a sigh emitting from Max.

“Fortia has a thing for them. Was very fond of wooing them all the time, back in the ye’ olden days! I mean, you’ve seen the place. Castle era, she’s big and strong–” Max was cut off by Alex suddenly.


“Wait, am I in a tall tower?” She asked, looking towards the window which she hadn’t gone to peer out of yet.


“Ahhh, funny enough, yes, BUT–” Max held up a hand, as Alex was about to say more. “--not because of that, but because that way it’ll be easier to speak to you whenever they want while they’re outside.” As he spoke, Alex was already marching towards the window, pushing away the ache her body was feeling from what the two gods had done to her earlier. Throwing open the window, she felt a fresh breeze blow in as she gazed at the outside world.


There was a great deal of green outside, with a number of massive trees with odd paths cutting through them. Large massive paths, which Alex could only assume was meant for Sophia and Fortia to walk about on. Much further away was the mountains, as it dawned on Alex that the temple was inside a valley of sorts. A waterfall and lake seen far off in the distance, with a number of other things seen further away.


When looking down, she found herself feeling taken back for a moment, flinching away from the window itself, before peering back over the edge, trying to judge how high up she was.


“It’s just tall enough that they’ll be able to sit down, and talk to you face to face.” Max said, as if knowing what she was thinking as she looked back at him.


There was more she wanted to ask more, while also curious what other gifts were awaiting her in the remaining packages. Yet, she felt herself grow more tired with each passing second. Despite the small bursts of excitement at the gifts and learning more, the day had already taken a toll on her. Wincing as she rolled her shoulder, placing a hand on it. A motion noticed by Max, who stepped closer, gesturing at her jacket.


“May I?” He asked, making a gesture as if he wanted to help her take it off. Normally she’d balk at such a gesture and remove it herself, yet she was starting to feel weak in the knees; as she shifted to sit down on the bed near the window. With Max reaching out to steady the somewhat tired looking woman with a hand placed on her back, before removing the jacket–


“What the hell?” Alex was surprised at what she saw on her arms once the jacket was removed. Bruises had started to form, and odd dents that were rather large seen on her body. She felt confused, until Max spoke.


“Even with the magic they gave you, it seems they got a bit more rough than they meant to.” He expressed, causing the tomboy to frown. “. . .they’re bite marks?” She said in a dumb manner, not quite understanding why it was taking her so long to notice that; despite knowing what happen to her not too long ago. Her mind felt fuzzy, as if trying to reboot.


“Yeah, buuut they’ll heal quickly! I think a few days of rest are in order. Give it time for everything to sink in.” A brief glance was given towards the rest of the gifts, before Max went on further. “Why don’t we stow the rest of the gift opening until after you get some rest, yeah?” He almost seemed. . .apologetic.


Alex wanted to say she was fine, but with each passing second, she felt her energy draining. Slowly, everything was starting to set in during that moment of processing. She felt weak in the knees. Nervous. Excited. Both in awe and. . .and. . .


There was another feeling, but it was hard for her to describe, more so due to her current state.


“Yeah. . .yeah–I think I need to sit down. . .” Alex remarked suddenly, as she stumbled a bit to the bed. Max was already there to lend her a hand and help her get settled in. The young woman felt her vision fading in and out, as she got settled into her new bed. Max had brought her a bottle of water, and a few pills, to help her get some rest.


Max stayed by her side for a time, watching as she drifted off to sleep. As she fell into a slumber, he grabbed the blanket and covered her up. Looking down at her for a moment, a frown slipping across his lips. . .then, he turned to leave. . .


. . . .


. . . .


. . . .


Tick. . .tick. . .tick. . .tick. . .tick. . .


Alex felt herself fading in and out of sleep, unsure of what was causing her to wake. All the lights in the room were turned off, with the only thing enabling her to see was the moon light pouring through the window nearby.


Tick. . .tick. . .tick. . .tick. . .tick. . .


She slowly gazed around, trying to locate the odd sound. It was akin to an old grandfather clock, but only hearing it partly. . .the rest of the sound lost to her. . .just out of reach. She tried to turn her head, but was unable to. Her body felt heavy, as she was made of stone. Yet, she felt a tingle up and down her spine. Goosebumps broke out across her skin, as she felt her heart beating faster than before.


Something was wrong. She couldn’t move–


The sound stopped.


Just outside of view, something shifted. Even when trying to turn her head, unable to, all Alex could do was see movement out of the corner of her eye. Unable to look around properly. She tried to say something. Anything. Shout. Move her hand. Anything, even a finger–


It moved closer to the bed.


The moonlight shined down on her bed, almost as if it was acting as a shield against whatever was just a few feet away from her. It stared at her, no noise made. Dead silence hung about the room.The only sounds Alex could hear were the beating of her own heart, and the shallow breaths she was taking in fear.


Time was lost to Alex. Restricted from doing anything, as whatever shared the room with her remained there.


Then, what happened next was not something she saw. . .but somehow just. . .knew. Staring at where the things head should be.


She knew it was looking at her. . .


And. . .


Her heart felt as if it was going to burst, staring right at it.


It was smiling at her.

“AHHHH!”


Alex bolted upright from her bed in a cold sweat, eyes wide open, blinded briefly by the bright sunlight pouring in from the nearby window. Her hands gripped the sheets resting on top of her, squeezing it so hard her knuckles were turning white, as she was able to move.


It was morning, and she was alone in her room, as she whipped her head around; freedom of movement regained as she stayed where she was. Nothing was there, save for the things she had seen before she slept. The two large dolls of the goddesses right where they were, with the presents on the table as well.


After figuring out she was safe and sound, she started to calm down; gripping her arms to help ease herself. She was trembling without even noticing it, but was quickly getting it back under control.


“Dream. . .fuckin’ just a dream. . .urgh. . .” Alex said out loud, glad to hear her own voice as she tried to get over whatever nightmare had awoken her. She could recall it, but with each passing second, it became harder and harder to recall–


It had moved closer that night.


Alex felt as if a spike was pressed against her head, seconds from piercing through her skull as she tried to recall the nightmare. She let out another gasp, looking around in a wild manner about her room. She felt safe, yet, it felt as if it could go away at any moment. She felt as if something washed over her, but the details were hard to make out, as the feeling went away. . .all of it.


She was safe. There was no need to worry. She had been summoned by the two most powerful beings to ever walk this planet, and they had made it clear they were fond of her.


The tomboy told herself this, trying to push away the fear of the nightmare she had with logic. She saw half the gifts still wrapped. Those two giant ‘dolls’ of the goddesses she was now a guest of. Inside of a room that was no doubt safe and very high from the ground. . .ok, maybe only safe if she stayed away from the window–


A knocking sound on the door roused her from her thoughts, as she looked over at it without knowing what to do. Save for her natural reaction when one’s door was knocked on.

“Uhh, gimme a sec!” She called out, moving to get out of bed and throw on some fresh clothing that had been laid out nearby. It took only a few seconds, as she slipped on a pair of somewhat loose jeans and one of the baseball shirts she had gotten from her gifts, and headed over to the door.

There were a few locks in place, but it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. It was, however, odd when each time she did away with one of the locks, an odd sound was heard. Almost like the sound effects made on some kid’s show when magic was done. She stared at the lock she had undone, relocking it and hearing the sound again. . .then did it in reverse; hearing it once more.


Recalling someone outside, she winced and went to quickly undo the rest, a series of sparkling like sounds heard in their wake, before she threw open the door - only to find herself looking upward at a man that had her beat in height by roughly a head and a half.


Dark brown eyes met her own lighter shade of brown, looking down at her with an amused smile on his lips. He was rather good looking, with a touch of age about him that gave her the impression he had her beat by almost a decade or so, roughly in his early forties she assumed - with his dark brown hair combed neatly to the side and slightly back. It wasn’t his looks that quite caught her attention, but what he was wearing that did.


It was a simple, yet sharp and well tailored button suit; white in coloring. A walnut colored vest peeked out from just above the breast line where the man had ceased buttoning it up. An almost plain black tie was seen under it. His white pants were just as fancy as his upper half, with a pair of proper black dress shoes on. His figure was that of someone in great shape, unless the suit just hid anything that was unsightly that damn well.


While his hands were mostly bare, there was a ring of notable size upon his left ring finger. It almost looked like a family ring of sorts.


A part of Alex figured this man was just into very outdated fashion from almost a hundred years ago, yet, it didn’t feel like that. The way he held himself and wore the suit spoke of a different story. . .


It bothered her.


“Alexandra Fae, with an L in the middle, that is correct?” Even the way he spoke was extremely well mannered and reminded her of her grandfather faintly. He didn’t look over fifty, yet, she’d wonder if maybe that was due to some sort of magic. That or some damn good makeup.


“Hey–hello there! You can just call me Alex!” Despite her feelings, she put on a best smile and made sure to remember her manners.


A light snapping sound was heard with a click, as Alex caught sight of a pocket watch briefly within his grasp, being slipped away within the inner folds of his jacket. A hand was presented to her, but the back of his hand was facing upward - with the young woman catching on to what he was doing; meeting him half way as she offered her hand within his. She watched as he brought her hand up to his lips while dipping his head; a brief, but polite kiss given to the top of her knuckles.


“Ahh, well met then, Miss Alex! Pardon the sudden meeting without announcing myself ahead of time.” Her hand was released, as he gave her a proper dip of his head; a hand hovered over where his heart was. “I am Jonathan T Hardy, although, if we are to address each other in more simple terms already? Jon will suffice for the time being. Without the H.” He said, as if expecting that to be her next question, despite it not.


“Yeah, it’s nice to meet you as well! Just moved in, new girl on the block.” She said, at once wishing she had said something a little more clever than that.


“Yes, indeed you are.” It was only for a second, but his smile didn’t quite reach his eyes. Then, a twinkle was seen within, as he’d smiled slightly more than before. “It just so happens I’ve come to escort you, but, ahhh. . .it would appear you are not properly dressed.” His tone held a hint of disapproval, causing Alex to look down at herself, her bare feet in front of his well dressed shoes.


“Just got out of bed, do I have time for a shower ooor. . .?” She let the question linger in the air, a gesture given to the inside of her room as if to try and get her point across that she wanted to.


“I’m afraid not, but there is a measure of time we can spare for you to put a little more on than what you have now.” Head tilted to the side, a polite smile given to her.


A part of Alex was tempted to follow him with no shoes on just to cause problems on purpose, but it was just a thought. A smile given in return, along with a well practiced work laugh directed towards him. “I’ll get dressed then, hope you don’t mind?” She made a motion to close the door, as he glanced towards the inside of the room, quickly scanning it. While his smile remained, his nose crinkled just a tad, before he’d nod. “Of course.” He didn’t look back at her, but the room within.


With a quick ‘Thanks!’ mouthed, she closed the door and hustled towards the bed in order to find some shoes and socks.


She tied her hair into a lazy ponytail, as she had no time to take a shower. With that out of the way, she headed back out where he was waiting, the pocket watch once more in hand. She’d close the door behind herself, hearing those faint sparkling clicks again, before the man offered her his arm.


Not wanting to be rude, she accepted it as they began walking down the same path her and Max had traveled. Max. . .where was he? She had assumed he would come bother her and see how she was doing–


“I hope your arrival here was a pleasant one?”


The youthful woman stared up at the older man who was staring ahead, the same smile on his face. She turned to look towards where they were going as well, not wanting to be odd and caught staring at him while he wasn’t looking back. “Yeah, yeah! Was good! Umm, a little crazy, and still feeling like it’s a dream.” She expressed, causing a low chuckle to emit from him.


“This is no dream, rest assured of that. You have been chosen by the Gods themselves, where only a select few have been blessed with in the world. Violence and misery is often a common trait one finds in the world of the gods, but for those that rise above the others? Well, I dare say you’ve become a light for them, and to remind them of the joy one should feel by being in this world!” He said, seeming rather excited while talking - speaking honest and true.


“You mean because they picked me, iiiit could happen to anyone then?” A small ‘tsk, tsk’, emitted from him, while an amused chuckle was heard once more. “Come now, Miss Alex. It isn’t like a lottery. Quite the opposite in fact. The gods have been watching you, for your entire life, there is no doubt about it. Every path you have taken has been a test, like many other people of course, but yours? It’s special.” Jon noted to her, his other arm reaching over to fondly pat her on the arm.


Already the man reminded her of some priest one might find in one of the many churches inside the city. Sprouting the good word of the twin goddesses, noting fate, and everything else that came with the package deal they called life. It all traced back to the duo themselves.


This time around, it felt different. Unlike the others, the man was speaking directly to her as if this was pure fact, with no other way around it.


“Well, I certainly feel special here! Sort of crazy, trying to wrap my head around it. Had a crazy dream last night–”


That sense of something pressed against her head. Not a dream. Something else. The promise of something painful on the horizon. It was brief, but it caused her to stiffen up and halt where she was. Alex brought her hand up to rub at the back of her head, as Jon peered down at her - arm still looped within her own.


“A dream can be a wonderful thing, but it is just that, a dream. You are in reality, and what life has in store for you is something far grander than anything you could have thought of. Do not sour such an occasion with that, but focus on what you are able to learn from the past.” The man in white stated to her in a low, but calm tone, causing Alex to look up at him with a slightly puzzled expression.


“The past?” She’d question, with the taller man giving a nod as they started to walk once again. “Yes, the past. Within it are all the answers one ever needs. Within these hallowed walls is the truth of the world itself, with everything you seek being here. The great goddesses Sophia and Fortia have chosen you as a light, and it will no doubt shine brilliantly.”

With the feeling of looming pain on the horizon drifting away from her head, Alex merely nodded as they pressed on, heading for the same lift she had taken the day before. Pressing the button, the two of them waited - no words exchanged for a time. Their arms still linked together, as the tomboy felt like pressing him with a few questions as they waited.


“So, Jon!” A small ‘Hmmm?’ emitted from him, as she noticed he was thumbing the pocket watch within his grasp again, watching it. “What do you do around here? You’re not dressed like an Enforcer. Are you like a butler or priest?” She was unable to help herself, wincing a bit as she wondered if that was maybe rude of her to assume him as either of the two.


“I am neither, for I am what came before you - a light that was once chosen as well.” He said without paying her a glance, speaking in a proper manner still.


“Oh, right–wait, before me?” It took her a few seconds, before she asked another question. “Did they pick you for something too?” Alex was trying to wrap her head around it all, but from what he said earlier, she figured it had something to do with being hand chosen.


“Indeed I am, for I too, was blessed with the goddesses choosing me among so many others. It was some time ago mind you, and although my path has been set, it has come time for you to find your own. As the divinities of this world have hand picked you; just as they’ve done with those that came before us.” Jon stated, with Alex cocking an eyebrow upward - which Jon noticed as he glanced at her. A smile seen before he continued.


“When one is chosen, they are to pledge their very mind, body, and soul towards their chosen fate. Today is that day for you, and I envy you for it. It is a feeling that so very few get to feel and understand; as they find their purpose in life.” Jon expressed with a rather fond smile, although Alex felt anything, but that.


Purpose in life? It was a question she had asked herself when she was in her teens, but had done away with as she’s gotten older. There had always been some weird sales pitch made with certain jobs or the church, saying how they were their purpose or that it was shrouded in mystery, and only they could find it for themselves - so long as they paid tribute to the duo themselves.


Now she was being told that it was really going to happen. Alex didn’t know how to feel about it. Would it be like being told where to go from here on out? Something deeper, like, what she was born to do? Maybe she was already doing it, but wasn’t even aware? It was quite a bit to think about, what with the ‘answer’ for it being right around the corner.


A soft ding announced the arrival of the elevator, with Jon taking a step forward, but halted upon noticing Alex lagging behind. “Is something troubling you?” He asked, with the woman recalling what had happened the other day. . .meeting the gods. . .


Last night–


The pain in her head doubled at once from what it was earlier, causing her to reach up and grip the side of it while the tomboy clenched her teeth. She felt a reassuring grip on her shoulder, as Jon moved to steady her as Alex found herself almost tripping forward.


“Careful, easy. . .here. . .”


Taking it nice and slow, Jon helped the woman make her way into the elevator, before pushing a button nearby as the doors soon closed shut behind them. She felt it moving, as Jon bent over slightly, a hand pressed against her forehead akin to a parent checking on their sick child.


“Mmm, a slight fever. Not uncommon.” He said in a soft whisper to her, with Alex giving him an unsure look due to his comment. Something he seemed to notice, as he kept on talking.


“You’ve been through what many would view as a life changing experience, and it’s only the beginning. I doubt you were able to sleep soundly, and the day before has taken its toll on you. No need to fret, there is a medical ward we can stop at before meeting with Goddess Fortia.” The older man expressed, with the younger tomboy looking curious when Fortia was mentioned.


“Fortia? I’m going to see her and Sophia?” She asked in an unsure, somewhat pained tone - with the man in mostly white responding shortly after.


“Goddess Sophia is attending to other matters, as there was a problem this morning that is being dealt with. It was also decided that it’d be best for them to have their time with you; one at a time.” Alex wasn’t sure if she was just in pain and not quite understanding it, but Jon’s tone for the later half of that statement seemed. . .almost resentful? She didn’t question it much, given the fact she was wishing she could simply will the headache she was suffering through away. That, along with knowing she was going to be along with Fortia soon after what happened before. . .


“Yeah, got’cha chief.” Alex declared with a somewhat strained tone, not even remembering what caused the headache now. Just that she wished it’d go away.


It wasn’t long before the elevator doors slid open once more with a soft ding emitting from them, as Jon aided Alex down another hallway and through a door. She didn’t quite pay attention to it all, nursing her head with one hand, while the other clutched at Jon’s arm. There was the faint recalling of seeing the symbol of the goddess on the door, with a medical symbol between them, but she was too busy finding the lights in the room to be a bit bright.


Squeezing her eyes shut helped slightly with shielding her gaze from the bright lights, as she heard Jon speaking to someone, before she was being placed into a seat. A wheelchair of all things.


She felt her cheeks grow hot, wanting to stand up right, but a hand gripped her shoulder firmly - with Jon once more looming over her. “Relax, you’ll be taken to the doctor at once. I’ve already alerted them of your condition.” She wanted to protest, but was halted by Jon’s next statement.


“Goddess Fortia would wish for you to be at your best when meeting her, and you do owe her nothing less than your best.”


Despite the fact there was a decent bit of pain in her head, Alex calmed down and knew he was right. Maybe they had some of the ‘good stuff’ she had gotten after being hurt when she was younger and needed stitches for the side of her head. All she could recall was it felt like she was floating on a cloud, and she couldn’t even recall if it was painful or not.


Alex was soon wheeled off through another set of doors, from what she assumed was the waiting room. Two doors down the hallway a turn was made, and she found herself being wheeled into an empty room. It had what most medical offices had, yet everything looked. . .rather fancy. Expensive and well taken care of. It made her feel slightly sick, as everything seemed almost -too- clean.


Closing her eyes, the young woman tried to relax and not focus on what was going on. The pain was slowly subsiding, unable to recall what event triggered it earlier. She heard Jon speaking softly to someone that came into the room, before turning to leave as a medical staff member entered and started to check her vitals, while asking her some basic questions.


It was all a blur to her, as Alex was more focused on her thoughts of Fortia. Despite the headache, there was a tingle of excitement that she could sense coursing through her entire body.


Before long, the doctor had noted she needed some bed rest, but was told to wait where she was. Leaving the room, the tomboy was alone with her thoughts. She was aware she was laying down against one of those ‘table recliner med beds’ as she called them, often seen when visiting the doctor. She’d lay back and close her eyes, as she’d let her thoughts drift about for the first time since she had been taken away by Max.


It was real. It wasn’t a dream, and she was going to spend time alone with one of the two super beings that were far older than she could even dream of. Some noted they were around since before mortals even existed, with the church often citing them as the reason life came to exist and the like. They had lived through so many different time periods. So many different people they had ‘favored’ or chosen as their ‘champion’ in the past, which over time turned to being just favorites - with many considering the time of ‘heroes’ gone once they had stopped claiming any as their chosen champion. A ‘relic title’ from a bygone era.


Yet, she couldn’t quite recall the more recent favorites. Most didn’t, considering it was a known fact they were people the gods wished to fool around with. Toys, pets, and a number of other such names were thrown their way, but it was often said with a note of envy among most people.


She felt a frown cross her lips, thinking on the biggest question of all that she still hadn’t had time to process. Why -her- though? Sure, she wasn’t bad looking, but there were far more beautiful men and women out there. She didn’t have some hidden talent or know of anyone in her family tree that was related to someone major history wise. It was something that bothered her, more so after how Jon spoke of her as if knowing something she didn’t. He couldn’t be saying that merely due to being picked, but the reason for it. . .right?


“Miss Fae?”

Alex snapped back to reality as it dawned on her that someone was trying to get her attention. Glancing over at the door, the person she presumed to be her doctor had stepped back into the room; a chart in hand as she gave her a kind smile. The older woman flipped through the chart once, before going on.


“Welcome back to the land of the living. We took a look at your vitals and based on recent events, we concluded that you need a bit more time to rest before appearing before the goddess Fortia.” Alex felt herself frowning slightly, about to protest and claim she was fine, before the doctor beat her to it. “Now, now - you're in your best state of mind and body. Unless you can recall what I told you when you first came in, I’d dare say you’re due for some bed rest.”

The door creaked open as Jon took a look into the room, a somewhat worried look on his face when seeing Alex frowning and the doctor. “I trust there’s no problems in here, is there?” He asked, with the Doctor shaking her head. “Not that I’m aware of, is there?” Both of them looked over at the tomboy, who was still frowning. . .but wasn’t saying anything in return to them.


Leaning back on the medical recliner, Alex tried to let it sink in that she was going to have to rest a bit more before she could spend some time with Fortia. Her index finger and thumb rubbed roughly against one another, a nervous habit of hers when unhappy, but accepting things going on around her. With a sigh, she closed her eyes as the tired woman noticed Jon shaking the doctor’s hand; a brief flash of orange was seen, but she’d pay it no heed. Figuring it was some hall pass or something. . .which the very idea made her snort, causing both to turn towards her.


“Rest easy, knowing you have earned everything you are about to experience henceforth.” Jon expressed with a smile, before turning to leave, closing the door behind him.


The doctor went through the normal steps. Advising Alex to take some pills before she went to sleep, drink plenty of water, and so on. Excited as she was, there was a part of her wanting to just call it a day as well. Restless from the last day or so, the events of last night had already been forgotten.


Closing her eyes, she decided instead to daydream about how the events of tomorrow could unfold - hearing Fortia’s words within her head.


‘See you soon. . .Alex~’


. . . .


. . . .


Even still, something just felt off, but she was too tired to think much more of it, as she at last gave in and fell into a slumber at long last.

  After a good night’s sleep, Alex found herself in a bit of a daze. Nervous and eager, but also trying to think of what she was going to ask Fortia. The doctor had given her the green light, and she had gotten a hefty breakfast before she found herself standing in front of a pair of twin doors that were very much like the ones from before, which had led into a giant room and let her meet the goddesses for the first time in person.


She glanced at a clock nearby, noting the time. She had been informed before arriving that Fortia wished for her to enter once it was noon. No sooner or later than that.


The tomboy ran her hand through her hair, as she paced around the room alone. She had yet to see Max that day, but had gotten a text from him, noting they would be meeting up after she and Fortia were done with their meeting. It surprised her slightly, as she had figured the man would always be around her, but there was a mention of something coming up.


Another ding from her phone had her check it, this one from Max. Alex had been somewhat bothered when first getting a message from him, but given what was happening to her, she felt it was the least of her surprises.


M: [ Clocks a-ticking! Excited? Did you wear the dress? Can I see it too? ]


There were times where Alex wished she had been further ahead in time, where one could harm another through their phone with just a few short button presses. She rolled her eyes, typing back to him in response.


A: [ It’s back in my room, so no. Wearing jeans, sneakers, and a baseball shirt. ]


M: [ Bet you wore the socks. ]


The woman frowned at the screen, refusing to look down at her own feet while the socks could be seen peeking out just slightly from her shoes. She felt like lying, but a sudden pang of worry set in, typing before she could think.


A: [ Would it be rude if I hadn’t? ]


M: [ Have you ever had your dear old grandmother give you that itchy sweater, and then you only wore it when she’s around? Same thing, but they can drop in at any time. Your call! ]


“Shit. . .” She felt as if a cold bucket of water had been dumped over her, while feeling a wave of relief at the same time. Scared of the thought of arriving with none of the gifts to show, while the other was happy she had put them on due to being curious if Fortia liked a certain part of her or not.


A: [ What did you do when you were with Fortia? ]


M: [ Trying to cheat our test exam already, are we? ]


A: [ Just don’t want to mess up on the parts you did. ]


M: [ What worked for me isn’t going to work for you, save for this; be yourself. It’s alright, you’re going to be fine. Plus, the first time you get several freebies! Just don’t go ham. ]


She clenched her teeth when seeing that, a bit of an unsure look on her face when looking at the clock. She only had one minute left.


M: [ Store the phone, go in there, and be yourself. Remember, they picked you because of you! They’ll know if you’re not being yourself, so don’t overthink. ]


Despite how she was feeling, the text from Max oddly helped her calm down somewhat. Be herself. They knew who she was, they were the goddesses of this world, of course they knew, right? Thirty seconds left.


She braced her hand against the door knob, but waited, watching the clock. Twenty seconds left.


Her heart was beating against her chest, a mixture of feeling nervous and excited. They knew everything. It’s ok–wait, everything?


Ten seconds.


How much was EVERYTHING? Ok, maybe not everything–


Without thinking or checking the clock, she turned the knob and entered with a few seconds still left on the clock and the door swung wide open. Alex stepped into a massive room like before, but it was different from the first room.


It was just like a bedroom for a single person living in it, but everything was gigantic. Made to scale for someone of the goddesses size. For a moment, she thought she had stepped onto grass, but it was in fact a dark green carpet. It was thin, but felt extremely nice to walk on even with her shoes on, and not much sound could be heard when she took a step forward. The walls were somewhat a mixture of stone and bark, giving the room a rather mythical feel to it, that felt as if she had walked into a painting. The ceiling was a mixture of it all, with a light above that hung high up in the sky almost like it was a tiny orange sun, yet didn’t make her eyes burn or water up when looking at it.


There were things in the room that seemed oddly out of place, yet were fitting. Such as the oak bed which looked more modern and had a large dark blue bed sheet with a dark green thin blanket on top of it.


There was a massive closet of sorts in the corner, but she didn’t pay it much mind as she saw a table on the other side of the room from the bed, right next to a beautifully handcrafted desk. It looked less like a desk, but as if someone had taken a massive ship from a couple hundred years ago and turned it into one. One fit for someone of Fortia’s size–


Wait, where was she?


Before she could take in what was on the desk or anything else, she felt dumbfounded as her eyes snapped towards the chair that was next to the desk, but turned in her direction. . .along with WHO was in it.


It was Fortia, wearing. . .something she had NOT been expecting at all.


She was clad in an unzipped black colored sleeveless jacket, with a simple green shirt seen under it. The top, while loose, still showed her somewhat ample bosom contained behind it. The bottom of the shirt had hiked up just enough to showcase a hint of her well formed abs that -everyone- knew about, and Fortia enjoyed showing off. A pair of dark blue jeans, with several tears and rips that were fitted just right for her was seen as well, splashes of that tan, almost dark bronze like skin seen under it. The bottom parts were slightly rolled up, exposing her lower calves for Alex to take in. Then, a pair of clean ankle socks were seen on her feet. Even with them on, she could see the subtle shifts and wiggles of the giant’s sock-clad toes movements without any problem.


One of Fortia’s feet was planted flat on the ground, somewhat extended forward. The other was next to it, but was turned on its side - the sole of her foot exposed as her toes kept moving in a rather slow, almost hypnotic manner. Even from a distance, Alex could tell how massive the woman was - almost seeming larger than their last encounter. . .or maybe that was just due to how she was feeling, as she was on the other side of the room from her.


There was a pair of discarded boots next to Fortia, a pair that made Alex pause.


For a few moments, Alex found herself focused on the boots more than Fortia - missing the grin that sprung across the god’s face when noting her ‘guest’ was trying to figure something out.


“Hmmmm. . .”


The sound came from Fortia, who Alex now looked up at her face to see the woman had her jet black hair in a somewhat high ponytail that she could see went down past her shoulders a bit. A few strands of hair were hanging in front of her face in a slightly messy manner, head tilted to the side with the side of her face pressed against an arm she was using to support her head - elbow against the desk. Large thick tree sized fingers resting against it, with black nail polish as dark her hair–


‘Black nail polish? Wait. . .’


All of a sudden, it dawned on her while she had been so focused on the boots. Her eyes snapped back towards them, away from the wolfish grin Fortia now had as it was dawning on Alex.


The boots, the clothing, the hair style, even the black nail polish. No. She had to be mistaking it. Her eyes darted up towards her left arm. It was bare, with a subtle flex being done by Fortia, forcing her to stare at it for a time, before looking at the other–


On the other was an armband with the symbol of the sun on it that was Forita’s mark.


The same armband Alex used to wear when she was younger. The entire OUTFIT was something she often wore after getting out of high school. Even the boots and socks were the same.


“. . .are you wearing my clothing?”


Despite being far away, Fortia heard her loud and clear - a bright set of pearly whites on full display, as those piercing orange eyes had a slight twinkle in them, looking right back at Alex without a single ounce of shame on her face.


“What’cha gonna do about it, chump?” Came a slightly husky mocking reply, as Alex heard both Fortia’s voice and a ‘whisper’ of her own within it. Oh goddesses, she was even using the line she often got teased about overusing by her friends too.


“Is. . .is there a box where we can just stuff all of -that- into, lock it, and throw it out to sea?” The tomboy said while wincing, wishing she didn’t exist for a moment in time. Even still, she started to head in the direction of Fortia without thinking about it, with said god in question giving her a rather amused smirk.


“I think of it as something to be flattered about. Sure, people enjoy wearing their heart on their sleeve, the symbol, but you really were enjoying my view of life then, huh?” Fortia said, looking as if she was containing a bit of laughter as Alex kept walking closer.


“I–were. . .even back then, did you notice me?” She stopped for a moment, curious if this was just something informed to her or. . .


Bending down, she lifted the foot upward that was on it’s side, easily taking off the sock that was the size of a bus or something larger to show case that rather broad underside of her foot, slightly spreading apart as if welcoming the cool air of the room, before placing it back down with a loud ‘thump’ that Alex could feel through the floor itself. However, as it was laying flat on the ground, she knew why at once Fortia had done that.


Her toe nails were painted the same color as her fingernails, well done and without any error in them.


“Was nice to see you stop wearing boots all the time and try on sandals later! Heels are nice too, but I prefer things that make them a bit more exposed. A shame you put all that work into making these, yet, you kept them hidden away in those ol’ boots of yours.” The goddess of the sun declared, the low sounding chuckle made her upper body shift about, her shirt lifting upward to expose a bit more of that well toned stomach of hers. Alex found herself staring at the spot for a moment, before Fortia’s hand came into view. . .slowly dragging it just a bit further upward.


No words were shared for a moment as Alex caught herself staring, eyes darting back upward towards Fortia’s grin, then her eyes. Those lovely orange, sometimes golden colored eyes. That same hand slowly rotated, all but her index finger curling inward. . .making a classic ‘come here’ gesture with it, to which Alex found herself obeying at once as she started to power walk towards Fortia.


It made sense why the others had insisted she be in better shape, as it took a bit of time to cross the room. Her mind was blank, as Alex found time had no meaning for a bit. All she could do was marvel at the sight of the goddess before her that she had admired a great deal in her youth.


Whenever she was caught staring at a part of Fortia, the well built super being flexed slightly. Shifting her body just enough to keep her attention on her. From the tip of her toes that would spread apart before curling a bit, to her fingers that did the same thing. . .her arms that moved slightly to showcase the power in them, to even her mouth. Sometimes split apart wide enough to show her well kept teeth, to sometimes parting just enough that she could see that tongue of hers move about. The same one she had gotten forced to know in their last meeting–


Alex was drawn out of her thoughts as she was now just a few feet, to her, away from the being that was the driving force behind most of the world. Staring upward at her, she was surprised to see Fortia had at one point shifted forward - her lower arms resting against the top of her knees, ponytail dangling over the side of her head, seeming to be just long enough to go down towards her chest.


Her feet were directly on either side of the somewhat now timid tomboy. One turned on its side, minus one sock and showcasing the sole and underside of her foot. Standing next to it, Alex found on it’s side that looking at all five toes as she was now standing right next to them. . .she was roughly at a size where if she walked forward and into the under arch of those large thick digits. . .she’d be able to fit under all five of them almost perfectly.

She knew the goddesses could alter their sizes, as while Fortia and Sophia had been out in the city, she had noticed their feet were large enough to take up an entire lane, if not the entire road should they choose to do it. However, it wasn’t often they grew large enough to have one foot take up all the road, as it made moving around troubling without destroying something. Though she knew, from history books alone, when Fortia and Alex had taken part in war many lifetimes ago, it was noted a single footfall could cover an entire road and many things under it without breaking a sweat.


It was crazy to her, that someone she had read about in both history and many books related to the goddesses was now standing before her. That same being that had once brought an end to wars around the planet, and now was dressed up in an outfit she had worn a few years after high school.


A shadow overhead made itself known to her, causing her to look up to see Fortia pinching one of her socks within her grasp, slightly waving it about, before glancing from Fortia towards the foot she had flat on the ground. Turning to look, Alex saw her foot shifted a bit - the sound of its weight pressing against the floor made it clear the woman could easily crush anything beneath its weight without trouble. She was confused for a moment, before a slight wiggle of eyebrows from Fortia gave her an idea.


Fortia wiggled the sock overhead, while making subtle movements with the foot still clad in one.


‘How the heck am I supposed to do that?!’


Stepping closer, she was now within arms reach of the sock-clad foot that had ceased its movements once it was clear the message had gotten through to Alex. She wanted her to take it off, yet what was a simple gesture for the dark haired goddess sitting above her was a different tale for the mortal known as Alex.


Still. . .


She felt like it was a moment where she was being tested, and she didn’t want to fail. Rather than think of how she couldn’t, she went forward to reach upward and boldly grip the ankle part of the sock, her hand making contact with the goddesses’s bare ankle.


Just like before, she felt a warmth spread through her. A spark of something strong and a desire to show she could make it happen.


A surge of strength overtook her, as she pulled hard at the sock. . .and felt a shock when it’d yield to her touch. Yet, it didn’t come off of course, but she had forced it down. . .but it was going to take more than that to do it.


Looking up towards Fortia, the goddess gave her that same wolfish grin as before, and without words, gave her a look that made it clear she wanted her to keep going.


With that, Alex set about shifting from the ankle to the back of the heel, pulling down at the sock as she knew she had to start from there. She repeated the action several times, until at last she had tugged the back of the sock down near the bottom of the god’s heel. Careful movement was seen as Fortia lifted the back of her heel just enough to make it easier for Alex, who took the aid without question as she tugged it all the way down and now directly under the heel. In her haste, however, she stumbled forward and pressed most of her body against the exposed back heel of Fortia, gasping as she felt the warmth once more.


It dawned on her there was a scent, a mixture of someone's natural scent, but also the smell of....a forest? It was hard to describe, but it was akin to when she had gone camping when she was young. That smell of fresh air, the trees nearby, a campfire that had just been given some more wood to fuel the fire. . .all the scents that gave her a positive feeling were there. Maybe it was due to Fortia often working in forest areas and the mountains, as she was seen outside the city helping to ensure the wild life was preserved. . .but there was a hint of magic to it. Something in her mind telling her this was Fortia herself.


Without noticing it, she had pressed her face against the back of Fortia’s foot, taking it all in, before hearing a voice above.


“Mmm. . .you’re free to do that as much as you wish. . .although, I think it’d be more enjoyable once you take it off fully. We have plenty of time together today, Alex.”


She said her name again. The tips of her fingers felt cold. A mixture of excitement, but also almost being overwhelmed by it. She became light headed for a moment, before she found the sudden strength to tear herself away from that. No, she wanted to prove herself. Besides, she wasn’t as weak to just stop and become putty in her hands like that!


Alex wanted to not give in so easily, as she worked her way around Fortia’s foot - tugging the sock foot and towards the front of her foot. At times she had to crawl under the space of Fortia’s large foot. Most sound seemed to vanish when she did, as all she could detect and hear was the subtle movements in Fortia’s foot. Shockingly enough, the goddess didn’t press her foot down or give her any trouble. It was with that the tomboy went about nearing her goal, as most of Fortia’s foot was exposed save for the ball of her foot and those five large toes she was eager to see once she had achieved victory.


As she made her way pulling the sock past the ball of her foot, all five toes clenched down on the last bit of sock still within their grasp - causing Alex to fall on her rear end at the sudden intervention.


“What, cold feet?” Alex said without thinking, so caught up in the competitive spirit that she forgot who she was talking to - looking up at Fortia with a sudden nervous look, who gave her a proud one in return. . .before it became more sly in nature.


“Maybe I am? It’ll be awfully cold not wearing it. Might need to find something to warm them up with, buuuut. . .” Fortia leaned over just a bit more, in which Alex could feel the faint traces of her warmth breath as she spoke her next words directly to Alex.


“. . .I think it’ll loosen up with a kiss.”


Alex halted when hearing that, staring up at Fortia. . .then back towards the foot where only the toes were left hidden by the sock, clenched tightly by those large digits. Like a person that knew a door was locked, but had to try anyway, Alex tried to give a solid tug or two on the sock, but found it refused to move any further.


A frown crossed her lips, looking up at the goddess who only gave her a wink in reply.


She looked back towards the five massive digits that had a firm grip on the sock, with the rest of her foot exposed. Alex’s skin on the darker side, yet Fortia’s just seemed so. . .so. . .so healthy. More tan than hers, as if it had always been exposed to the sun, but not enough to look off. It caused her to wonder if they chose to look like this or if they were just ‘born’ like this.


The thought made her pause, frowning to herself in thought when pondering it - which she heard Fortia above speaking to her.


“Maybe a few kisses. . .hmm?” Alex felt as if Fortia noticed how she was feeling, speaking before the goddess could comment any further.

“Not even a hug, just straight to this?” Alex said, a plan somewhat formed in her head, but it was only a few seconds ahead of her, but there was a goal. It was vague, but she couldn’t help herself. Maybe she was nervous, cocky, or just wanted to do something that defied logic.

“I mean, kissing? Is that because you’re ‘old school’ or you’re just plain into that? Most wear a ring they have people kiss.” The young mortal was rambling to the goddess she had looked up to and worshiped to an extent, hoping it’d work as she placed one hand against the edge of the sock right next to Fortia’s largest toe.


The goddess looked rather amused at the statement, not shocked or angry, but yet, seemed to go along with it. “A bit of both. A promising two for one that benefits both of us.” She said with a slight chuckle, as Alex’s fingers slightly slipped inside the sock edge. . .but not yet.


“Ahhh, both of us! Right, right. . .not sure if it’ll compare to before, what you and Sophia did to me, but I wouldn’t mind maybe round two of that. Just you and me.” Please work. Please work. Please work. Alex repeated that to herself over and over, as Fortia looked a bit surprised for half a second, before flashing her pearly whites down at the much smaller being right next to her toes. . .which had started to loosen their grip, but Alex didn’t act. Not yet.


“Just you and me? I dare say you’ve grown rather bold!” Her toes loosen up, as Fortia turned towards her massive shoes nearby, speaking to her still. “Might just toss you inside and see how–”

Alex sprung into action, pulling with all her might as she saw Fortia look away from her and loosen her grip on her sock. She yanked it off as if it was a bed sheet in need of a dire replacement, gripping the sock and pulling with all her might as she jerked back away from the toes with it in hand.


Either by a mercy or pure shock, Fortia didn’t try to clench her toes again, as the rest of her foot became exposed - showcasing five large thick toes to Alex. She felt a surge of pride and excitement at doing it, before it dawned on her what she had just done.

Alex had not done what Fortia had told her, but had pulled a fast one on her.


On a goddess.


It was almost comical how she let her gaze travel from across that broad foot. All the way up her legs. . .the somewhat exposed midriff, and further beyond that ample chest to see the result of her ‘crime’ as it were.


Fortia’s mouth was partly open as if to speak, teeth shown ever so slightly, with her eyes a little wider than normal.

However. . .


She was also giving her the biggest grin she had ever seen on the higher being’s face.


Alex really wished she was anywhere, but there at the moment, as Fortia whispered her next words to her.


“Oooh, I’m going to enjoy at long last doing whatever I want with you. . .Alex.”


The smaller woman was knocked onto her bottom as the goddess’ gigantic foot in front of her shifted again, moving several feet into the air above Alex. Fortia’s head tilted to the side, as if peeking around her foot at the woman below - a somewhat wild look of enjoyment to her, before her foot started to descend slowly towards Alex who couldn’t even let out a scream as she froze up.


Then, she felt herself engulfed in a sea of flesh and warmth, with the floor against her back. It was hard to hear anything, other than the shifts in the sole gently pushing down against her. For a moment, Alex felt a flicker of fear as it dawned on her how dangerous of a spot she was in. Everything felt either cut off from her senses and the inability to move much had gotten her heart racing. Yet, right as that moment sprung up, she felt it start to wash away as something washed across her. Unseen, but felt within her. As if her natural instincts were telling her everything was alright. That she was safe and sound, despite the position she was in.


Somewhere in the back of her mind, for a brief moment, she wondered if it was the goddess doing this. Whatever Fortia was doing to her, it felt the same as when Alex had first met her and Sophia.


It was forgotten as she felt the foot shift forward a few inches. . .then back again. Rolling the tomboy under the thick sole of the giant, before it shifted again, but in another direction - from left to right. It dawned on Alex after a few moments after figuring out how to think again, that Fortia was rolling her about under the entire sole of that broad foot of hers.


The full tour was given to the mortal under the foot of a goddess she had looked up to since she was born. At one point Fortia had moved her about so much, Alex found herself directly under the soft, yet somewhat still hard heel of the darker skin woman - causing her to become nervous. As her heart started racing at the brief thought of being crushed under heel, Fortia’s voice was heard far above her.


“Worry not, I’m not ever going to harm you without purpose, and there is no purpose here.” Despite her words of comfort, the way she said it sent a small chill down the smaller woman’s spine.


“Here, why don’t we get you in a more secure spot I know you’ll adore.” With that declared to Alex, it wasn’t long before she was rolled away from the heel and down that thick broad sole of the goddess again, before finding herself on the other end of the foot - right under Fortia’s large toes.


Even before she had arrived, for a long while it was no secret Fortia enjoyed showing off her body to the mortals, including what most were used to coming into contact with if they ever got close enough to her; namely where Alex was now. There had been times the woman had worn fully enclosed boots and footwear, but more often than not Fortia had a fondness of displaying even her feet to those that took a peek at them. Even going so far as to wiggling her toes in a subtle manner when the camera or others were caught staring, along with slowly rubbing them together when lazing about places.


Alex had been among the many who had found themselves wishing they could get closer one day to Fortia, with one of those desires being where she was now. In her daze, she found herself fitting perfectly under all five digits, which were slowly scrunching her between each one and the ball of the higher beings foot. Has the god shrunk or had she made Alex bigger? With so much going on it was hard to tell, but she felt her face fit snugly between the largest toe and the one next to it - while her own feet were positioned right against the side of the pinkie toe and the one next to that one.


“It pleases me that you do enjoy this. Having someone do this just to please me can become a bore, but having someone I know loves it makes it a much more stimulating experience.” Alex froze when hearing that, even though a part of her figured the two gods might know of her likes. It wasn’t something that was high on her list, but it was there. However, with how she was being handled now, she felt it was going to soon be much higher up there in the future. . .


The toes her face were between parted somewhat enough to allow Alex to see between them, causing her to find her breath lost at the sight.


The shirt Fortia was wearing had been lifted up to just under her ample bust, showcasing her abs on full display for Alex to gawk at. Fortia had straightened her legs out away from her during the footing, but was bent forward enough for the woman between her toes to view her upper half. One hand was idly stroking the surface of her stomach, tracing the lines formed by her muscles for Alex’s pleasure.


“I’m aware that is not all you are fond of. . .which works out perfectly. With time, you will become well versed in every inch of me. Although. . .” Fortia’s lips pulled back, displaying a wolfish grin down at Alex in a somewhat hungry manner. “. . .everyone finds their favorite spot, sooner or later. I assure you that you will find yours in due time, my favorite.” Alex squirmed under her gaze and words, but spoke up to her in a manner that caused Fortia to pause with a curious look in her eyes.


“Is there a spot on you that hasn’t been found as someone’s fav yet?” She was curious, but also with that energy she had received from before, she felt herself wanting to push her luck. Just enough to learn more about her, but also have fun.


“Hmmm. . .you are the first to ask that, I admit. If there was any. . .” Lifting her well toned arm, she’d bend it in a manner where her hand greeted her own shoulder, presenting her elbow to her. “I believe this one has yet to find true love.” Fortia said in a jokeful manner, with Alex responding back before she could find herself.


“Well, maybe that will be -my- favorite then. Ya never know!”


The massive titan grinned down at the mortal trapped among the underside of her toes, seeming in high spirits as Alex kept responding to her. “Oooh, while I am touched you wish to explore lands uncharted, we’re both aware of where your heart truly belongs.” With that statement, the tip of her massive tongue traced along the outside of her lips; now glistening in the aftermath. Her lips parted again, while closing her eyes half-way when speaking down to Alex in a much lower voice.


“You should focus on the here and now, before you get ahead of yourself; while you try to conquer this mountain. Speaking of. . .riiight here. . .” With that, Alex found the toes suddenly clenched down on her head, forcing it forward and right against the space between both of those large digits. While she did nothing, every now and then Fortia squeezed her shoulders and head against the spot, as if wishing her to do something - which Alex had an idea of what that something was.


Despite her talk, she was still somewhat nervous about this entire experience, but found herself wanting to give in. To do stuff that -she- wanted to as well. Without much more thinking of it, the tomboy let her tongue trace across the area between Fortia’s toes, electing a pleased muffled sigh far above her, encouraging her to keep it up.


Over and over again, she let her tongue play across the surface, aware that there was no foul scent here. In fact, she was surprised at what she could detect. It was akin to what one would smell out in the forest after a fresh rainstorm, with a hint of her natural scent along with it - like something one would sense when hugging a loved one after being away for so long. It was welcoming. . .and made her feel safe with Fortia herself.


The other toes that were further along Alex’s body lightly drummed against her in a gentle manner, carefully squishing her playfully under their soft almost doughy texture.


There was even a point where the middle toe scrunched at Alex in such a manner, she realized it was somewhat groping her chest, causing her to blush as a small moan of surprise and enjoyment escaped her own lips. Fortia’s toes kept slightly shifting about her body, drumming them against every part of Alex that she found it hard to focus on licking. However, she found the small gaps in the toe-play to let herself give into her desire to worship Fortia’s foot, licking and kissing between and along the underside of the large toe itself.


“Mmm. . .make sure to pace yourself. Today will be a sample of what’s to come for the rest of your life, but there are a few other things I will do with you.”


Alex started to wonder if she was going to make it even through the first day, as those two massive thick digits of hers slowly started to press against one another. . .making it clear she was in this for the long haul.
