Hugs and Kittens (An Ambrosia Homecoming)

[Guu]

Continued from “Waiting for Pirate Man”

 
The large group made their way through the dense forests and jungles of the greens, until the city was in sight. Desco gasped.
 
“Guu! You rule over this? Desco is impressed!”
 
The Pink Princess was surprised herself. It looked bigger than she remembered it. She could have sworn she hadn’t been gone this long.
 
Now she knew how Gildarts must feel.
 
 
The large crowd started to part as they made their way into the stone streets of Ambrosia. Nyeseth escorted Guu, Desco, Adam, and Carn to the palace before leaving himself.
 
“I’ve got business to attend to around town. We’ll definitely talk later!” He said before running off.
 
The four made their way through the jungle as she explained about recall stations.
 
“Right now, because I put you all on a list, the recall station by the palace gate should be syncing with your phones, adding an app to your devices.” She shows the three the app on her phone. “All you have to do is tap that app, stay still for 10 minutes and you’ll be warped back to Ambrosia.”
 
The trio was impressed. But the moment of Guu’s superiority in technological knowledge quickly was interrupted as she heard someone call out. It was Gildarts who was standing by the front door.
 
“Hey, princess!”
 
“Gildarts? My aren’t you a sight for sore eyes.”
 
Before she could get within 30 feet of the rugged man, Molly came darting out the door and glomped Guu into a hug.
 
“Guuuu!!!” She said excited.
 
“Easy, still have injuries.” Guu said, wincing a bit. Molly pulled back, but still retained her glee.
 
“I’m so glad you’re okay! Did Berry Blitzkrieg give you hell?” Molly said, curious about the fight.
 
“Yep, they eventually retreated.” Guu said casually. She pointed a stubby arm towards the demon child. “This is my best friend, Desco. Desco, meet Molly.”
 
“Wow! You’re Desco? Guu has said a lot about you!” She said excited.
 
“Hey! Guu told Desco of you!”
 
“Also with me is Adam Gaite, and you know Carn.”
 
“Wow, you have so many friends Guu!” She said. She bows down respectfully to the three. “Thank you all for helping her with Berry Blitzkrieg.”
 
“It’s no problem!” Said Carn jovially, glad to have such a friendly greeting.
 
The moment was interrupted when someone walked through the door. Holding the cat in her arm was a green skinned girl with long pointy ears and antennae protruding from her forehead. She was running her free hand over the feline’s wounds, which were healing at a rapid rate.
 
“What’s all the ruckus?” Asked the girl.
 
Guu and Desco looked in shock at the girl.
 
“Naturae?” Said Guu, baffled at the girl, who, just hours ago, was a baby.
 
“Mom?” Replied the green-skinned girl in a casual tone. “You should really get some rest if you want your wounds to heal”
 
Molly skipped over to Gildarts, who was standing next to Naturae, not sure how to feel at Guu having a daughter.
 
“Gildarts! Meet Naturae! She lives here too!” She said excited. “She has healing powers! I would have gotten her earlier, but it’s next to impossible to wake her.”
 
“Thank you for helping my friend.” Gildarts said, bowing respectfully
 
Guu however walked up close to Naturae to get a good look.
 
“Something wrong mother?” She said. Guu wasn’t used to being referred to by that.
 
“It’s nothing.” She turned to Gildarts. “They grow up so fast.”
 
“Well, you better get to bed, like I said. You still have injuries to worry about. So do you Auntie Desco.”
 
“Right.” Agreed Guu. She turned towards the group. “Carn, Adam, you’re good to go. You two should have houses now, so get rested up. Carn, I’ll let you know when we do the thing in the Ashens. As for Gildarts… it’s great to see you again.”
 
She took Desco by the hand and pulled her into the palace. Under Guu’s insistence, the pair would share a bed and take a long nap as their wounds healed.
 
It had been a long day.
