Chapter 880 The Prophecy
-----
"Wow, now this is an assortment of items." Rakasha recognized, as he began to inspect the surroundings with his eyes. "There are many items of antiquity. By merely putting my eyes in them, I can already see some amazing things!"
"Oh, I see you have the eyes for ancient treasures, good sir?" Said Aria with a charming smile.
"W-Well, yeah. I am a Blacksmith that traveled the world and all, I know a lot of things." Said Rakasha.
"That's very interesting." Aria said with a calm smile. She quickly showed us some seats as we sat down around a rectangular table made of stone, in there, she served us some delicious and aromatic tea that was so soothing to the heart and soul that I felt slightly drowsy after drinking it. She also brought curated meat of some sort of monster, freshly baked bread, and butter.
"This bread is made with our utmost effort by cultivating Frost Wheat. It is very rare and precious as ships with supplies rarely come here… Please, feel free to enjoy it with the meat. It is the curated meat of Large Frost Mammoth Kings, giant beasts, usually B Ranked Beasts that we hunt each Month to lower their population so they won't make stampedes."
"Oooh, looks tasty, thanks!" Tisha said, quickly beginning to eat. I had saved Skadi and Uller inside of my Shadows after the battle, as I didn't wanted to show that many of us. So we were not as big of a group. They also ate too much and I wanted to control their gluttony.
"The tea is very soothing and the bread and meat are delicious, Aria." I said.
"I am honored to hear that from my honorable guest." Aria said.
"H-Honorable?" I asked. "W-Well, we came here to explore the Frost Tower, but I doubt we would be honorable…"
"You surely are." Aria said with a smile. "I suppose it is not my style to be secretive. I assume you trust the friends you've brought here, right?" She asked.
"I do… Just tell me. I knew there was something up here. From when I heard there was a Frost Queen Descendant and when I spoke with Miss Ice…" I said.
"Oh, I suppose she has already told you a few things." Said Aria. "Well, indeed. I am a long descendant of the Frost Queen."
"EEH?!"
Everyone except me was rather shocked, seeing someone that descended from such a legendary figure was not something you would even see every day. Ruby was already a rarity amongst rarities, and even she didn't directly came from him as the Vampire Venerable made too many families which branched a lot. However, the Frost Queen Family seemed quite linear.
"Fufu, your surprise is to be expected." Aria said with a charming smile, as her eyes shone bright gold. "I am her gran granddaughter, due to the powers of the Frost Queen flowing through our Bloodline, we are able to live for thousands of years unlike other Ice Giants, therefore, I am not that far from my gran grandmother."
"W-What is even your age?" Asked Benladann.
"Fufu, you never ask a lady her age, dear." Aria said while giggling. "As you've noticed by my appearance, and these natural tattoos, I am an evolved form of an Ice Giant, a Winter Titan."
"Huh?!"
Everyone once more acted shocked. Indeed, she was not an Ice Giant at all, from the moment I detected her aura that she didn't had the aura of a normal person at all! In fact, isn't she a goddess or something similar?!
"T-Titans are the ancient ancestors of the ice giants, right? The direct children of Ymir! T-To think there are still some alive!" Rakasha said in shock.
"Indeed. My gran grandmother was born as a Lesser Titan long ago, one of the lasts of her kind. Thanks to her efforts, not only the world was saved from the Era of Blood, but the Bloodline of Titans was able to continue. However, we lack the strong Divinity of our older and more pure ancestors, despite our lifespans being very long, they're not unlimited like True Titans, and therefore, we die after reaching the end of it." Sighed Aria.
"W-Why are you revealing us all of this?" Asked Miranda.
"I feel like it. I think it should be enough secrets so you can tell me a few of yours, isn't it, Son of Nifl and Grandson of Svartalf, Divine Dark Ice Dragon, Drake." Aria said with a smile, I immediately felt her gaze piercing through my soul.
"HUH?!"
Everyone gasped again.
"Would you guys stop overreacting?!" I roared back at everyone, as they began to apologize.
"S-Sorry…"
"Yeah, I was just trying to go with the mood."
"Sorry, sorry…"
"Sigh… Anyways, so you know that much? Did the Frost Queen predicted me, really?" I asked.
"Yes, it was predicted while she was alive. After she built her tower and gave birth to her first daughter." Said Aria. "She saw the Eternal Frost Mirror the possible futures reflected through it. In one of such futures, you appeared and came to complete the trials. It was my duty since then to guide you as much as I could in these things, Sir Drake. Additionally, one of such futures showed that I had to bear your child to create a hybrid between dragons and titans. Could it be possible to supply me with a bit of your seed, sir? I shall be a good and obedient maiden at bed."
"Eh?!" It was my time to ask in shock. There was no way I was going to do this! And what's up with powerful women asking me to have sex with me?
"No! That's not happening, lady Titan!" Benladann roared. "You're not getting any seed from my man! Also, he already got two children." Benladann began to hug me as if she was protecting me from the evil old lady.
"Hohoho, I was merely joking. I already saw that he had two kids." Laughed Aria. "It was simply one of the many futures, the future that is happening right now is a different one from the joke I said."
"Phew, that's a relief…" Sighed Benladann.
"Though, my offer is still up." Aria giggled.
"Ugh!"
