In Anna"s shack, the beleaguered woman stirs. "Mom!" Franklin yells as his mother"s eyes slowly open. Arron who was fetching, a fresh wet rag. Stops what he"s doing to runs over. "You"re awake," he says happily."Are you feeling better, mom?" Franklin asks as he clutches the hem of his mother"s dress tightly. Anna wraps her arms around her son giving him a big hug. "Your arm is healed!" Arron exclaims while grabbing her once broken arm. "So it seems," She says with a gentle smile. "Thanks for looking after us. It seems like we are always causing you to worry," Anna graciously thanks the reliable man. "It"s not a problem at all," Arron responds with embarra.s.sment while rubbing his head.
Franklin looks up at his mother with a strange expression. "You look a bit different?" he asks inquisitively tilting his head in confusion. "Oh, I feel a bit different," Anna says surprised. She slowly reaches towards her face. They didn"t have any mirrors so she couldn"t be sure. It did feel a bit unusual though. Arron too begins to examine the mother. Indeed it felt like things had tightened up. It wasn"t that her facial features had changed. It was more like the years had disappeared.
"Here, let me get up," Anna speaks while patting, her son"s shoulder. "Are you sure? You"ve just gone through an ordeal." Arron asks with a face full of worry. "It"s fine, I don"t feel any pain at all," She replies as she swings her legs off the bed. She gingerly stands up, just in case. She looks at her body with a perplexed face. It feels like her anatomy has changed. "Is something wrong?" Arron asks grabbing her arm, in case she lost her balance. Anna shakes her head and explains, "it"s hard to explain, but it"s as if my muscles have been rearranged."
As everyone is contemplating this strange turn of events the door slams open. "You"re up! Good for you," Elanor says from the doorway. "Get out here. It"s time to start your training!" The young female cultivator says while pointing, over her shoulder to the outside, with her thumb.
"Training?" Anna asks the flamboyant cultivator, curiously. "That"s right, I"ve been roped into training everyone. So get your b.u.t.ts out here!" Elanor says while rubbing her head, roughly, sending her hair flying.
"Let"s go!" Franklin says with stars in his eyes. He grabs his mom"s hand and pulls her towards the door. "Franklin your mom, just recovered, don"t be too rough," Arron tells the impatient boy. "I feel fine don"t worry," Anna replies, with a smile. "Hurry up, you don"t want to miss out," she continues waving, for the farmhand to join them.
As they walk out Elanor glances at the mother, with a smile. "So that"s what my master did. Lucky you," she says giggling. "What do you mean?" Anna asks cautiously. She stops next to Elanor, pulling her son to a halt. "It"s nothing bad," Elanor answers while waving, her hand coyly. "It"s just a technique from my clan. It reshapes a woman"s body completely. I just thought about how she, must have learned the technique when she, was with my mother and it made me laugh," she reveals with a wink and nudge.
"Oh, what clan are you a part of?" Anna asks while feeling around her body. It did feel like every part of her, had been regenerated and given a lift. It"s like her body has returned, to her early 20s again.
"Normally, I wouldn"t tell anyone. To much trouble," Elanor says waving her hand in front of her, face as if something smells. "But... It"s not like you guys would know anyways. So it"s fine I guess," She continues. Elanor Then moves over and grabs Anna, by the shoulder pulling her in close. Anna couldn"t help but feel content, with her shoulder being encompa.s.sed, by this fairy"s bosom. Arron looks on with mixed feeling. He didn"t know who he should be jealous of. Anna for being in this unattainable beauties embrace or Elanor for walking hand in hand with Anna.
Elanor pulls the mother along, as she whispers in her ear, "I won"t tell you my family name. That will only cause you trouble." Anna nods slowly a bit worried that she, asked something she shouldn"t have. Seeing Anna"s worried face, Elanor headb.u.t.ts the mother"s forehead. "Ouch," Anna groans as she tries to back away, from Elanor, only to find she can"t escape, the grip of the beauty"s embrace. "You"ll get wrinkles if you worry, about every little thing," Elanor says with a smirk.
"Alright, my clan is made up of only women. So it"s special. It has all kinds of techniques, just for women." Elanor says secretly. "What? how can that be!?" Anna yelps in surprise. Laughing the fairy replies, "it"s true. Apparently, a very long time ago our founder, was a beautiful and powerful cultivator." Elanor covers her mouth while giggling. "She liked women you see," she then shakes her head with delight as she continues, "not just a little, you know. A lot. So much that by the time she, left us to ascend to G.o.dhood, the number of women in her harem, outnumbered her old clan. So she formed an offshoot clan."
Anna didn"t know where to begin questioning, this fantastic story. Ascending to G.o.dhood? Offshoot clan?. She shakes her head to focus. "Truly she ascended to G.o.dhood? Is that even possible?" She inquires with a hushed voice. Elanor is having to much fun so she, no longer bothers with secrecy. She clearly responds, to the question, while laughing loudly, "I don"t know for sure. That"s what the nerds say though. I don"t want to waste time in the library. I heard she went and ascended, with her good friend from the Emerald family." Elanor nods her head enthusiastically, she is now so close to Anna, that they look like they are fusing together. Elanor is just having too much fun chatting.
Anna couldn"t hide her shock from hearing her family name in the story. Thankfully Elanor didn"t seem to notice, as she continues gossiping, "Speaking of nerds, Kendra my fellow disciple, got so mad when I told her, I didn"t care about the ancient library of my clan!" She shakes Anna joyously as she rambles on, "She"s still angry about it even now. What a petty woman right?" "Well, I haven"t met her... So," Anna replies vaguely. Elanor Shakes her head while poking the mother"s stomach playfully. "Don"t be so serious," she says chuckling.
"How can a clan of only women, even survive?" Anna asks curiously. "Oh, that"s easy," Elanor says with disinterest. "There are plenty of cultivators who want dual cultivation partners. Men just want to focus on cultivating. So they tend to leave, women and children behind. Since neither side wants any strings attached, it"s easy to find partners. Of course, no one is forced to stay, in the clan. You can marry into a different clan if you want. The boys, once they grow up, can choose to join the old clan, or go off on their own," Elanor rattles off the speech with a bland voice. She"s clearly been asked, this question too many times.
"Sorry, I didn"t mean to ask something I shouldn"t," Anna says with an apologetic smile. Sighing Elanor gives the woman one last squeeze, before releasing her. "Don"t worry about it. Everyone asks," She responds with a smile. They"d long reached the group of villagers. It was quite a spectacle for them to see her, clinging to the mother. "It"s easy to join my clan if you"re a woman though," Elanor teases while laughing. She then winks at the mother.
