Showing a modicum of backbone despite the mildly imposing presence before him, the chief took a half step forward, and cleared his throat.
"I am the chief of Carne Village."
Gazef's brow raised with a curious expression, as he seemed to question what was going on inside that head of his.
"You're the chief? Who is this man who stands beside you, he is well equipped, and a bit peculiar."
"This is Lord Touch Me, it was he and his allies who came to aid us in our time of need."
Gazef dismounted his steed, and gave a bow to Touch Me, then lifted his head, and reached out for a shake.
"Lord Touch Me, I must thank you and your allies for doing my job in my stead."
"Ahaha, it was no problem at all. Helping people who are in trouble is always the right thing to do." Touch Me laughed, reached out, and shook Gazef's hand with a warrior's purpose. "However, I alone can not be who you say this to. My friend is the one who performed the miracle, you should thank her directly."
"I will express my thanks as many times as I can, protecting the people is our noble duty and cause. I do have a question."
"Ask away."
"Is this friend of yours here? I'd like to meet him if that's not too much trouble."
"Her."
"Oh, my apologies. Is it possible to meet her?"
"Of course it is possible."
Touch Me chuckled, and then posed. The chief cleared his throat.
"Sir Gazef, we are currently celebrating our survival with our saviors, you and your men are welcome to join us in the festivities if you like. There's plenty of food and drink to go around."
"Ah, that sounds delightful, my men and I would be most grateful for your kindness."
The village chief, with a sense of pride, showed Gazef and his men to a place they could leave their horses. All the while he told the story of what happened. However, there wasn't much time to actually tell the whole thing by the time the horses were stabled, fed, and watered, so the most important parts were left out, along with the part about Night Silver's particular style of attire.
When Gazef and his men had reached the village center, and the sight of the most beautiful woman they'd ever laid eyes on, bearing her chest to the world without a care, they all blushed, and some began to experience difficulties in their nether regions… A consequence of having extremely little control over their hormones.
"Dearest friend Night Silver! We've got guests." Touch Me called out.
Night Silver stopped dancing for a moment, turning her attention to the group with Touch Me, she smiled, and waved for everyone to come closer. One of the villages' mothers brought their young baby over to Night Silver, who promptly put the baby to feed upon her breast, a show of her truly motherly feeling.
Gazef, and his men, were flabbergasted by the scene, some half expected the scene to turn into a terribly barbaric religious display, however, it didn't… nor would it ever. And so, feeling a little more reassured, Gazef took the first several steps forward.
"My name is Gazef Stronoff, I am the Chief Warrior of the Re-Estize Kingdom. I presume from the story I heard that you are the one who saved these people from the marauders. I wish to express mine, and if I may be so bold, our King, King Rampossa III's thanks for saving these people."
Gazef bowed, this time far more deeply than he did with Touch Me. It was as if he knew… This woman is intense. I can't possibly fathom half of what she's gone through.
"You're wrong, it was not I who saved these people from the marauders, it was my friends who took action, and only after that did I, hearing the cries of a child begging for help, come to aid them." Night Silver said with a soothing voice. "However," She paused, leaning over and reaching out with a gentle hand, to lift Gazef's head. "My name is Night Silver. Though, if you've ever studied before, you may know me by another name?"
The voice was one unlike anything Gazef had ever heard in all his life… No noble woman, or any woman for that matter would ever be able to sound that graceful, and calming. Let alone the terrible pressure that seemed infused in the voice itself.
It's as if she's calm, not because she's just free of worry, but rather confident that nothing could be a worry anymore. She's… Powerful.
"Lady of the elves, The Elves Guardian Mother. And Lady Mother Nature." Gazef's eyes went wide with a mixture of feelings. No one would blame him, for the strongest known being in the world, the vanquisher of the Evil Dragon Emperor, is whom he stood before now…
She nodded, kissed Gazef's forehead, and then smiled. "You're smart. That's me."
"Thank you, my lady, I'll make sure my men are scolded for their current predicaments… To have lust towards your ladyship…"
"Pfft, don't worry about it, you're all raised in a society that refuses to learn about controlling your emotions and desires. Let their punishment be as it is already."
"As you wish, lady goddess… I do have to ask… The story I was told, it carried the weight as if people here had been murdered by the marauders-"
"I healed everyone, and resurrected all of the dead."
The lone word that went through Gazef's head at that moment was one the other men thought as well, for none of them saw it happen. And like clockwork… the chilling effect of what such a power means, the men's arousal vanished in an instant… the word… Impossible…
"Come now, don't be all down and depressed, it's a happy day. These people will continue to see the sunrise of tomorrow. So join and celebrate with us, there's plenty of food to go around."
And so, with the thanks given, and the shock of seeing the most beautiful woman in the world, just letting her breasts out for everyone to see, and the added shock that she was also the strongest woman in history, the celebration began in earnest once more.
It was a few moments later that Night Silver messaged her friends to prepare for the other group of idiots making their way to the village.
