Chapter 331 Marly, And Life With The ERTCG
[Conversation of the ERTCG, Elemental Round Table Chat Group]
Windorf: And what would you pay with? Ash in a jar of all the things you have destroyed? Not like you could give away your balls, I am sure that Maelstrom still has them!
Blaza: Cram it, windbag! Maelstrom never bothers me anymore; it is the god's lap dog now!
Maelstrom: I am no one's lap dog; you overheated ashtray!
[Marly, I think that it is our playtime. Come, I have many new things to try out on you; ignore the rest, my little water-spout. Let the others say what they want; they are just jealous that I never picked them!]
Maelstrom: You said you weren't going to call me that in front of the others!
Windorf: You think I would be jealous of whatever it is you two twisted fools do in your spare time? I think not! I have spun with another element, and that was an experience of a lifetime!
Fireden: Not going to lie. It does get a bit lonely here with just a bunch of male energy spinning around. As much as it burns me to say this, I kind of wish I wouldn't have been so fast to judge Maelstrom.
Grogvel: I agree with Fireden. Out of the three of us, only Windorf has created offspring. I had considered it long ago, but I was only three hundred years old at the time, and I assumed I would have plenty of time.
Wataluga: That was before Mex found us. At the time, I remember I had been flirting with an Ice Elemental, but helping Mex was more important at the time.
Blaza: You had a woman? Hard to believe, considering how uptight you are!
Fireden: Believe it or not, Wata is the smoothest of us, but time has forced him to be more calculated. His biggest problem is that he is picky, or I am sure that he would have gotten hands-on Maelstrom long before the god did.
[I am curious about how you procreate. I have tried multiple times with Marly, but with no success. I had assumed it wouldn't work from the get-go, but I am still interested in how it happens. From what I understand, all of you were created at the making of the planet.]
Fireden: This is true, Each of us came into existence as the planet was formed, but most memories from then are faded. We are all part of our larger counterparts, and there are copies all over the world to help balance the natural flow of elemental energies. Unfortunately, Windorf is the only one of us that has spawned offspring, so you will have to ask him.
Windorf: What?! You want me to talk about my private time with Hydie's mother?! Are you all mad?!
Grogvel: Not what you two did, airhead! We are just curious about the process that creates the minor elementals.
Windorf: Well, it is a hard thing to explain, regardless. When two elementals care about each other…
Blaza: None of us are under one hundred here; talk like it! We are not newly formed, you old hot airbag!
Windorf: Would you like to hear what I have to say, or would you like to explain this thing that you have no experience in?
Maelstrom: Yes, please explain. I am getting frustrated with all of our attempts!
Windorf: Firstly, you will never succeed unless you can both create your own energy. On top of that, there must be a connection between each member of the party.
Fireden: You mean between the two, right?
Windorf: no, the creation of a new and Lesser elemental is not limited to pairs. The more that combine and mix their energies, the more diversified the offspring are. The important part is becoming connected to the other because elementals fuse together during the act.
[So the chances of us creating offspring is limited by my form? If I were an Elemental-based being, we could create new life?]
Windorf: These answers are only revealed once the connection is established correctly, and the knowledge I have only pertained to the copulation of Elementals. I don't know if it is impossible; I have never had the desire or want to try the same with a physical lifeform.
Grogvel: Well, that does make sense, but in the state, we are in right now, there is very little chance for us to meet others.
Wataluga: This is true for now, but that is only because there are no other Elementals left on the island for Zack to absorb. After we leave the island, there will be many more elementals that our master will bond with, and not everyone is going to be head over heels for him. We all just have to be patient.
[Now that I somewhat understand the process, I will start trying some new tests. That is, if you wish to continue with me, Marly. I know that we are working on finishing removing the Demonic Presence from you, but I will not force you to continue our other path if you would prefer to attempt with one of the others.]
I had been listening the entire time while preventing Kerri from turning the kitchen into a warzone. This was the first time I had heard Harold talk in this tone.
I could tell that Harold liked Maelstrom more than he let on, but the man had a bigger heart than he let on. If he did feel this way about Maelstrom, then he was a better man than most, but Maelstrom proved the feeling was mutual.
Maelstrom: No, I would like to continue. At first, I hated you but enjoyed that you were a bit twisted like me, but things have changed. As this Demonic presence in my body fades, I can say that I come to see you because I want to, but that small part of me is still embarrassed.
[Good. You know how to reach me. Also, because I know you are listening, I am close to being able to completely remove the Elemental's darkness. Once I can, you will beagle to remove Blaza and Marly from Mex]
