Chapter 675 Unity in Chaos
Following Whispera\'s devastating attack, Felidae was left in disarray. Houses, market stalls, and other buildings had been thrown into the air like toys. People who had been moments before engaged in heated exchanges now stood stunned, fear replacing all prior animosities.
"That Whispera sure did a number on the place!" I laughed as Eliza stared daggers at me, but I just waved my hand. As I did, all the destroyed sections of the city started to weave back together like nothing had happened. Anyone caught in the attack had been shielded by me, and that also gave me an idea!
"Why are you letting them wreck the new city?! What about my people?!" Eliza demanded as I sipped tea with everyone out on a terrace of Breya and my house.
"I think Galio has a point to all of this, and I can understand why he is doing it," Fate said, fidgeting in her chair, and I smiled, reaching over to pat the top of Fate\'s head.
"She gets it," I laughed, but then got serious. "I am going to be honest with you all. I don\'t think that all races are cut out to be goddesses."
The terrace became silent for a moment, but Tallia spoke up. "Are you saying that some races won\'t have Goddesses to replace them?"
I shook my head. "No, not at all. All the new positions will be filled, but not necessarily by a goddess of that empire\'s race."
The shock wave of my words reverberated through the silent terrace, causing quizzical and skeptical looks from all the women present.
"Do you wish to destroy the equilibrium of the races?" Breya asked evenly. "Isn\'t this move akin to embedding seeds of discord?"
"I would say it\'s about fostering unity," I countered. "Call it a social experiment, if you like. Moreover, I am concerned about certain races. I don\'t have time to be going all over the world if that will defeat the purpose of exploring it with you all!" I said passionately, and then slapped my hand down onto the table. "That is why we need special goddesses for the less than friendly races, or the others that put themselves above others. I may have told them that I would be picking twelve goddesses, but that is where my adherence to the old ways ends!"
Tallia let out a tired sigh, but Nemoria laughed something precious, bringing the smile back to my face as she looked my way. "I for one think that this is a splendid idea! It is about time that the goddesses of this world start taking their jobs seriously! I am sure that there will be some complaints at first, but that is expected," Nemoria smiled and then opened a fan to cover it. "After all, Galio is our god, and his will is ours. I am sure that everyone will understand."
"Hey, are you trying to say that I didn\'t do my job?!" Tallia squawked, and I gave her a look.
"What do you think I have been doing since I got to this world?" I asked, and Tallia cleared her throat.
"Shouldn\'t you be spending time with your daughter?" She growled, looking down at me, and I sighed.
"Yes, I will go and check on them," I sighed with a smile, and then got up, waving for a portal, but Eliz grabbed my hand.
"Rather than watching the city all the time, can\'t you just make it so the buildings repair themselves and protect the people?" She asked, and I frowned. That was actually a really good idea!
"That is a wonderful idea!" I laughed, and then pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead. "I will do just that."

"So, now that he is finally gone! It is time for the first Secret Meeting to Increase my Place in Line!" Eliza declared, and Tallia frowned at her.
"What are you talking about?" She asked as Eliza came back to the table to sit down.
As she did, an unnatural darkness blinded them all before a light appeared about the table.
"You see," Eliza said dramatically. "I have gathered all you women here today to discuss how I can cheat my way up the line!"
"Umm, what line are you talking about?" Xena, once Blood Witch, now purified as a normal woman said.
"Probably something to do with a baby," Murphy, one of the five Winds of Change, said, and Eliza nodded.
"Exactly!" Eliza declared and then stabbed a finger on each of her hands at Breya and Tallia. "You two either have, or are going to have soon, but I want a cute little girl too!"
"While that is all fine and dandy, what do you think that I can do about it?" Tallia asked, and Eliza smiled dangerously.
"We are all going to spy on them, and find out what really makes them tick! I need to find out their secrets, weaknesses, and anything else that will help me get them to give up their spot in line!" Eliza fumed, steam pouring out of her nose in determination.
"Oh? So you are trying to cut your way to the front?" Nemoria asked, and Eliza nodded with fire in her eyes. "Good! I like to see a woman willing to fight for the heart of the one she loves!" Nemoria laughed and then looked at Tallia. "What do you think?"
Tallia sighed and then smiled at Eliza. "I don\'t really think it is a bad idea, but convincing some of the others might not be so easy. I know that Goldy and Orchalla are very interested, and if Ochalla is, then so will Draconia. None of them has yet to decide the order, so you will have to convince each one of them. Considering that my egg should hatch the day after the Goddess Games, that doesn\'t give us much time."
"True," Eliza said, but then hopped out of her chair. "But that\'s not going to deter me. In fact, I love a good challenge! So, let\'s plan this operation."
