An hour earlier,
Inside the room, Maelona blankly stared at Aether’s naked cracking body.
‘Equivalent Exchange’ It was a bloodline ability that Moon Elves had, which granted them the ability to exchange anything at a certain cost… From the Arcane. Not from Mother Root even though she was the one who created them.
Anyhow, Due to this ability, others started seeking after the Moon Elves, imprisoning them and forcing them to use their ability….and thus their number started to reduce at an exponential rate…. in order to protect themself they entered a pact with High Elves who was a major force.
The pact was simple all they needed to do was marry their descendants and if anything happened to the High Elf spouses then Moon Elf spouses needed to use their Ability.
Yeah, their situation had not changed much, just not forced that’s all!
Everyone… in a way selfish! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Maelona who was the last of her tribe… more like the last of Mother Root’s creation.
Rustle, Rustle
Maelona gently removed her garments, revealing her pure dark blue skin.
Her body was a vision of ethereal beauty: slender yet curvaceous, with soft, inviting curves that accentuated her femininity. Her breasts were full and round, with dark blue, sensitive nipples that stood out against her smooth skin.
Maelona’s waist tapered into a supple, round busty ass that spoke of both grace and sensuality… Her tight flower, adorned with small white leaves, was in plain view!
Maelona stood before Aether, closing her eyes and mumbling softly.
“Zah-ee-vah-rah…..”
After a minute, her body suddenly…
Crack, crack…
Her body began to crack, every inch of it splintering like delicate shards of broken glass. Her skin, once smooth and flawless, now seemed fragile and fragmented, each crack glowing with an otherworldly light.
She looked far worse than Aether!!
Suddenly, those cracks started to tremble before…
Ssssshhhh…
The cracks transformed into a swarm of blue butterflies, their wings shimmering like freshly polished gemstones.
These butterflies, both mesmerizing and ethereal, seemed to hold a magical energy beyond comprehension. They swirled around Maelona in a dazzling, spiralling dance, creating a spectacle of breathtaking beauty.
Their wings, delicate and iridescent, flickered with a spectrum of blues, from the deepest indigo to the lightest azure.
Among the swirling multitude, one butterfly hovered before Maelona’s face.
Maelona gently opened her eyes, revealing that her once shimmering green eyes had turned a pure, radiant crimson. Her gaze, intense and filled with determination, met the butterfly’s.
There was a silent communication between them.
A gentle smile adorned her face as she tilted her head cutely, saying, “My child will be sad without him, Mother….”
The butterfly hovered for a few seconds, seemingly contemplating her words. It stared at Maelona’s genuinely happy face, showing her readiness for whatever came next. Then, the butterfly shook in sadness before joining the others, swirling around Maelona once more as she murmured something softly.
“Ray-lin”
Soon, the butterflies floated over to Aether, swirling around him. As they descended onto his body, they covered him entirely, their magical energy radiating a sense of renewal and transformation.
Aether’s entire body was covered with blue butterflies. Maelona nodded before,
Sckkkk
She began smashing the butterflies against his skin.
Each delicate creature burst into a shimmering blue powder, which she meticulously rubbed onto Aether’s body. The sensation was strange, the blue coating itching slightly as it spread over him. Slowly and gently, Maelona continued to crush the butterflies, her hands moving with both urgency and tenderness as she covered every inch of Aether with their essence.
The vivid blue colour seeped into his skin, transforming him into a figure that looked more like a Moon Elf than a human.
The cracks in Aether’s body began to mend. Meanwhile, Maelona’s own body started to tremble and slowly disperse like a mist in the dawn light.
“Good…” She whispered, her voice tinged with both relief and sadness. She then sat astride his stomach, her entire core exposed to him, a vision of ethereal beauty that Aether would love to see it.
Maelona’s fingers ran through Aether’s hair, a tender, almost maternal gesture, “Please take good care of my daughter…” she murmured.
Leaning down, her eyes locked onto his lips. A deep blush spread across her cheeks, her heart pounding slightly. She parted her lips, revealing the final butterfly resting inside her mouth.
“Hmm~”
Her lips met Aether’s, softly and tenderly….. She pushed the butterfly into his mouth.
Meanwhile….
Aether’s consciousness was pulled into a place he had never seen in his life, yet it felt oddly familiar…
“Where am I?” He wondered aloud. The last thing he remembered was being thrown out by Alaric, and now he found himself standing before… a baby?
The surroundings resembled the outskirts of a village, with a few small houses visible in the distance. “Did I teleport again?” Aether mused to himself, crouching down to inspect the baby wrapped in a white cloth.
“Why is this baby alone?” Aether wondered, reaching out to touch it, only to find his finger passing through like a ghost.
His eyes widened in surprise as realization dawned upon him: he was witnessing memories from the past!
“Is that… me?” he questioned, pointing at the curious expression on the child’s face. He tried to observe more when suddenly, there was a commotion.
“Oi! There’s another child here!”
Aether turned to see villagers hurrying towards them.
“Another abandoned one!”
“Sigh, what a pity!”
“Just what’s wrong with these people?”
“Yeah, this is the 30th child this month!”
“Everyone move away, the Elder is here!”

At the elderly woman’s arrival, everyone fell silent and bowed their heads.
The elderly woman gazed at the baby with a wrinkled face, sighing softly, “What a cute child! How could anyone have the heart to leave this dear?” she mumbled, bending down carefully to cradle the child in her arms.
After checking the child’s body the elderly noticed there was a ring on his neck… She sighed before,
“From now on, his name is Ether…” the woman declared suddenly, her expression turning warm and motherly, “Let’s take him in… shall we?”
The others nodded in agreement without objection, and then everyone looked at the child with curious expression.
Aether, still standing there, was amazed to witness how readily they accepted and embraced the child. “So it really is me…” he thought, looking at the infant’s face.
After staring for a while, Aether couldn’t help but smirk. “Damn, I was really cute,” he muttered, feeling a touch of narcissism creeping in. He reached out again to touch the baby when suddenly…
The baby’s blue eyes snapped open, and it smirked mischievously, that’s not something that a child should have…. A chill ran down Aether’s spine.
“Yo! Motherfucker!”
Thud
Aether was taken aback and fell onto his butt….. FUCKING SHOCK!
“W-What in the fuck…” he managed to stammer out, but before he could say more, a gigantic blue butterfly burst forth from the baby’s face.
It unfolded its iridescent wings with a shimmering sound, filling the air with a surreal glow.
It flew over Aether in an instant, and everything around him changed in a flash…. A familiar place he knew very well.
White-Black Domain or rather… Ethereal-Umbra Domain!
