"Welcome to the Garden of Eden, a place where you can forget the world and rest after a long journey."
-------
At night.
"Godwyn, don't we have a customer?" Hearing the female voice coming from above, Godwyn smiled. The Garden of Eden was just the first floor, the second was rooms for demigods to rest, the third and last floor was his, Thalia's, and Mimir's personal rooms.
Footsteps came from the spiral stairs located in a discreet corner and soon after, Thalia, wearing comfortable clothes, appeared before him. She wore a large, long-sleeved cold shirt and loose pants.
"Thank you for your hard work." Godwyn said with a smile, without Thalia, the Garden of Eden would have taken even longer to complete. "And no, we don't have a customer yet."
"It might take a while for us to get customers." He said with a smile, although Thalia's expression showed that she was disappointed. "Don't worry, although it's difficult to have divine beings, mortals will still come to our bar."
Suddenly. The sound of someone knocking on the door echoed in this calm and silent environment. The expressions of Godwyn, Thalia, and Mimir, who was reading, changed drastically. The three looked at each other and saw caution in each other's eyes.
Godwyn calmed down and walked to the door, he hesitated for a moment to open it, but still turned the doorknob, revealing a tall and slender woman.
Long brown hair fell like a cascade of silky, shiny strands framing a face that could make kingdoms and empires go to war. She had green eyes and an inviting smile, with red lipstick on her lips.
She was exquisitely dressed, a bright and daring golden dress, partially showing her breasts with bare back and sleeves. The woman held a small, delicate and beautiful purse.
"Sorry for the delay, it's been a while since I walked in the mortal world." She said, looking at the thirteen-year-old boy before her. He seemed taller than a year ago, his long hair was tied in a very beautiful ponytail.
However, it was his aura that caught the woman's attention. A divine aura, but not just any divine aura, one that resembled hers. Although she was still in the process of Apotheosis, she could still smell death.
"Majesty, it's an honor to see you again." Godwyn bowed elegantly as he gracefully greeted the Primordial Goddess of Earth. Gesturing for her to enter, he said with a smile. "Please, come in."
Gaia smiled and entered the establishment, she looked around with curiosity and smiled again, observing the girl dressed comfortably.
"You are beautiful, dear." She said, looking at Thalia's true face, even though she was wearing the necklace Brok had made to disguise herself. "You remind me of your grandmother, though in a less dignified and more comfortable way."
The smile on Thalia's face stiffened at the mysterious woman's words, but as a goddess, the princess of Olympus could feel the woman's simply terrifying power. It was as if the entire planet was before her.
Looking into the woman's eyes, she saw entire planets being created, life being born, and the colossal weight of the planets.
"Thalia, this is our ally and also your father's grandmother." Godwyn said in a calm tone and stood beside Thalia, he looked at the woman with a somewhat helpless look. Although he knew that the invisibility runes did not work on the perception of the primordial gods, he still had a vague hope, which was extinguished at that moment.
Thalia widened her eyes and looked at the tall woman with an incredulous look. "Great-grandmother?" She asked with a strange and curious expression. She couldn't imagine that this woman was her great-grandmother, the second most important deity in the Greek Pantheon, second only to the Creator of the Pantheon, Chaos.
"That's rude, someone might think I'm old." Gaia sat on one of the stools in front of the bar and rested her arms on the counter, causing her back to arch slightly, sticking out her butt.
Godwyn rolled his eyes and went behind the counter, picked up a clean glass and a bottle of Irish Whiskey. With an elegant and skillful movement, he poured the drink up to a third of the way into the glass and served it to the Primordial Goddess of Earth.
Bringing the drink to her lips, a satisfied look shone in Gaia's eyes. "The lands of Ériu make good drinks."
[Note: Ériu is an old Gaelic name and is one of the names for Ireland or at least that's what I found researching. (derived from the goddess Ériu, one of the sovereign goddesses of the island). This term gave rise to the current "Éire" in modern Irish.]
"This is a good place." Gaia commented, looking at the entire bar, in her eyes, the entire place was filled with runes. "However, this bar should be in a separate space from the material world, thus complicating the detection of certain powerful gods."
"I am not the All-Father, my knowledge doesn't even compare to the Norse God King." Godwyn said in a calm tone. He might be strong, but when it came to knowledge, he and 99% of the gods were no match for Odin.
Godwyn also wanted to have put his entire bar in a separate space, but he and Mimir had no idea how to do that. They could at most, use time and space to cover the entire bar, making it more stable, solid and invisible to the eyes of most gods.
In short, he had a lot to learn before he could reach a level like the Norse God King.
Gaia smiled at Godwyn's modesty, in her eyes, this level was already very high, many gods had not even touched the secrets of space and time. She looked at Thalia and said in a gentle tone. "Drink with me, dear great-granddaughter."
Thalia sat next to Gaia with a slightly nervous expression, she already knew Gaia's identity, so she was nervous next to such a powerful and equally dangerous being.
"Don't be nervous, I don't bite." Gaia spoke, noticing the girl's nervousness. However, when she mentioned that she didn't bite, she looked at Godwyn on purpose, with a seductive and charming look.
Mimir, who had noticed this, looked at Godwyn with a look of pity. Having the interest of this type of woman was quite frightening, especially for a boy as young as Godwyn. The poor boy would be devoured if he let his guard down.
"Are you two dating?" Gaia discreetly asked Thalia, observing the girl's reaction.
"NO!!!" Thalia exclaimed unconsciously, she looked nervously at Godwyn, as if she was afraid he had heard the question. Seeing him cleaning the glasses and looking at her with curiosity, asking the reason for the scream, Thalia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gaia wanted to laugh, she found this extremely adorable, a girl's first love was so pure that it made her look at Thalia with a little envy. She wished she had loved like that when she was born, but in the divine world, love was a luxury that gods and goddesses would hardly have.
"You better hurry or maybe some evil woman will try to steal him from you." Gaia looked at Thalia and whispered in her ear, there was a mischievous smile on the Earth Goddess's lips. "Including me."
Thalia's face changed drastically with Gaia's words, she looked at her great-grandmother as if she was looking at an enemy. However, looking at Gaia's spectacular body, the developing teenager felt the alarms in her mind ringing extremely loud.
If she understood anything about boys, it was that most liked older women!
Seeing the girl's cautious look, Gaia wanted to laugh out loud at how funny the situation was in her mind, it had really been a long time since she felt so alive as at that moment. "It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously."
Thalia's face improved with Gaia's words, having such a beautiful and powerful rival was too stressful. "Please, don't provoke me like that." She said with a tone full of dissatisfaction.
"Request denied, it's quite pleasant to provoke you." Gaia replied with an amused smile on her lips. How could she stop provoking this beautiful girl?
"I have a proposal for you." Gaia said, looking at the girl with a mysterious look, for some reason, her smile caused shivers in Thalia's body. It was as if she was being watched by a snake, ready to strike.
"Do you want to be the fourth generation God King?" As soon as Gaia's words came out, Godwyn broke the clean body and Mimir's eyes widened to the extreme.
