"Hmhmhm~ hmhmhm~ hmhmhm~" Hestia hummed to herself happily as she soaked in the lovely, warm water of the divine bath house.
All around her were other goddesses in varying states of undress. Some of them she knew in passing, some decently well, and the rest, she'd only heard of, maybe exchanged a few words with up in Tenkai.
That suited her just fine. Most of the other divine were a super pain in the backside. And if someone bothered her and found out about her new child, it would become a real bother.
They would ruin her date with her precious Caelan!
…Especially if it was someone annoying like Freya.
All the children down here in the mortal realm needed to do was gaze on her face and most would find themselves charmed by her.
His skill had some form of protection for his mind, it was why he wasn't overwhelmed by the instincts and memories of the monsters he devoured the magic stones of when absorbing them. But, she wasn't sure how that would stand up to a goddess of loves charm.
And never planned on seeing how it did.
'I'd rather he meet Loki than her, ugh.' Hestia grimaced.
Honestly, she'd rather he not stand out all too much before he was strong enough to tell others to back off.
…At the rate he was going though, that would only last until he levelled up. His rate of growth was far too absurd. She'd never heard of anyone growing as absurdly fast as he did, never mind accumulating so much abilities.
Typhon had to be one of the most powerful skills she'd ever heard of. It was odd in of itself for a skill to manifest so quickly as well. Usually, a skill was formed through intense repetition or accomplishing a grand feat. In rare times though, a skill could manifest naturally, usually through an innate talent or trait that the holder possessed.
She wasn't really sure what it meant that Caelan possessed such a trait. Just that he had the potential to reach far beyond most thanks to it.
'It's still a month and a half until the next Denatus.' she mused inwardly.
At the rate he was growing, while it wasn't ideal, it would have to be enough. Because Hestia saw the story inscribed on his back every night, a new page for to read, how he approached things, how he fought. There was a savage, wild brutally to her first child in battle and he had started off on his path not walking down it, not jogging, but full on sprinting as fast as he could.
When it came to the ability to level up…he already had it. He just needed to accomplish something worthy of it.
And something told her, it wouldn't be long before he pushed through the ceiling of level 1 to level 2.
'He's amazing, the best child I could ever ask for…but that's what makes it troublesome.' she sighed.
Because all the other troublesome and childish bratty gods that loved to make a nuisance of themselves in the search for a good time, would hound him constantly, trying to steal him away.
Well, there was no point sitting around moping over those thoughts. The best she could do, as Caelan's goddess was support him all the way and believe in him.
'And keep the skanky goddesses away from him!' she stood up in the bath, pumping her fist with a righteous nod to herself.
And of course, those who would try it just to annoy her because she was his goddess.
'Well, not that Loki no boobs and Aphroflatty would be a threat.' Hestia looked down at her breasts with a smirk, heh!
Anyway, it was about time to headout! It wouldn't be long before she had to meet up with Caelan for their date!
Reaching over, Hestia retrieved her towel from where she left it sitting on the rim near the water and wrapped it around her body, before pulling herself up and out and making her way back to the changing rooms where she'd stored her clothing.
She quickly set about drying her body, before doing the same to her hair and brushing it out. She decided to leave her hair down for tonight, so with that done and her body dry, she quickly put on her dress.
Before realising that messed up her hair a bit again, forcing her to brush it. And to top it off, she finished the outfit with a smaller choker that the sales girl had tossed in for free when she bought the dress.
"Hmm." Hestia hummed, inspecting herself in the mirror of the changing room she was in.
The dress looked good, while short it showed off her legs and a tasteful amount of cleavage, not the absurd amount that Freya and the like loved to show off.
She grinned, leaning forward to the mirror and cupping her chin, "Heh-heh, I'll knock him dead!"
She slipped her ribbons onto her wrists, and then fitted her high heels on and then Hestia was off, leaving the divine bath house behind!
She wasn't used to wearing high heels and stumbled a bit here and there, but even with that, she couldn't wipe the huge smile off of her face, or stop the skip in her step.
…Which probably contributed to her tripping quite a bit more than she actually would of but she didn't care at all.
In a few minutes she arrived at her destination and found her first child already waiting for her, leaning against the monument statue in the middle. The square where she asked him to meet her was a popular date spot, and already, with the sun only beginning to dip below the horizon, was filled with couples.
It was busy for sure, but Caelan stood out. Despite his young age, and not the tallest out there yet, he was broad and his hair stood out vividly, being a spiky pure black with golden blonde highlights.
'Hmm, that's new.' she thought when she approached. He was wearing his usual clothes that she met him in, except for one difference. A crimson red, stylish jacket that looked really expensive.
