The sun started rising above the Sun Shrine in the morning poki already awake for a little bit just prepping food, tea clothing for the trip and for guests that might visit the shrine befor sunny and herself leave walking around packing bags and doing her usuall routine of making sure everything is clean and organized in the shrine
13:33:05
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny wakes up later than Poki, as usual. She gets up of her bed, opening the curtains to welcome the rays of the sun in her room. She reaches the kitchen, where Poki is busy preparing their breakfast Yawn... morning Poki. You seem already ready to go, hehe! Give me some time to prepare myself and I will be ready too!
13:35:19
poki looks over with smile to her Master Sunny good morning master, i hope you slept well we have a longish trip ahead of us and well what can i say i am your maiden after all i am just full filling my duties making sure everything is clean and ready for guests
poki smiled and pointed to the bags oh i also prepared everything for our adventure i amde food for the way and packed some clothes and water and tea we can eat breakfast here still if you want once you got ready
13:40:17
Bot/Eliminado
Thanks Poki
she smiles warmly towards her, stretching one arm to pat her head You always do such a great job, I am glad to have you as my first maiden.
She sits at the table, you have a nice breakfast together and after that Sunny goes to prepare herself, packing some emergency snacks just in case and wearing something more appropriate for the adventure that awaits you two. Alright, let's go!
She says before closing the Shrine, you follow her among the woods: she seems to know very well her ways through it, and after a couple hours of walking you finally reach a place that gives you so many memories, a magical swamp
13:43:36
Poki smiled and purred at the head pats she received befor breakfast. Poki followed sunny through the forst as we reach the place giving me alot of memories about my past as we enter the magical swamp i smile and look at sunny happy that she is going with her i think i should lead from her master as its quiet hard to find but teall me do you see something out off place over here maybe some sort of different tree maybe a extra mossy rock or maybe a different shade of water colour?
poki asked as she leads sunny closer to the entrance that is in a area like poki just discribed a minor detail in change to what you usually see in the swamp
13:51:23
but only visible to does that pay enough attention to there surrounding
13:52:04
Bot/Eliminado
That's right, look at this place... it emits a magical aura, I can totally feel it.
Sunny says as she embraces this magic, her body slowly shifting to the one of an orange slimey fox. She looks at Poki, a smile on her face, as she pulls into an embrace Now this is the moment Poki, we're about to discover your past. I will be by your side.
13:54:46
[The colours of the waters turn slightly, from blue to a slight green, as you walk through an invisible barrier, like a wall of cold water]
13:56:17
poki smiled and looked at sunny with a face of relieve that she is at her side mmm i am nervous master..
poki grabbed sunny's hands and guided it through the barrier with a smile we are here
poki said and continued walking through the hidden city letting sunny embrace the surrounding and ecstatic they soon reach the entrance off the temple knocking on its door waiting for permission to enter from the elder guardian
14:00:43
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny rubs Poki's head with one hand, trying to calm her down It's alright, we can do this. Remember that whatever happens you have me by your side.
14:02:16
[It wasn't so much a city but a village, hidden from view all these years. The inhabitants were all slimes, and as the party of two ventured slowly, deeper into the village, most of the slimes gave them a friendly wave, or a friendly greeting with smiles on their faces]
14:02:45
"Hey visitor! Well met! What have you come to visit us for? Can we help you?"
14:03:18
(Hello, everyone. I wish you all a great game)
14:03:40
Bot/Eliminado
(Thanks Roma <3)
14:03:59
poki purred softly and got closer to sunny as they enter the room she stutters a little bit as she talks to the elder slime h-hey you might have heared about me already i was here a few weeks ago trying to figure more out about my self as i only recently figured out about my slime side i was born as human and encountered this cutie named sunny in a town just east from here ending up turning into a slime as we had a little rumble about some stolen snacks
poki said giggling a little looking at sunny and well she probably wants to talk to you about something aswell
14:08:07
Oh? What might you want to talk about?
14:09:06
(directed at sunny or me?)
14:10:04
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny bows respectfully towards the Elder, then looks at her with an embarrassed smile on her face Well... i will let Poki talk first, she's here for more serious reasons than I am.
14:10:29
Go on, speak. We will help any travellers that come across us to the best of our abilities
14:11:10
(my bad i swapped back to mobile)
14:11:38
(all good just copy past rlly quick xD)
14:11:53
Go on, speak. We will help any travellers to the best of our abilities
14:12:04
w-well i wanna know about my past and how all this is happening to me i want to know more about my parents as i only grown up with my dad i left him to go find my mother she has to be some where and when i first transformed i was lead here by old memories when i was younger forced to leave cause i was human just like my dad i can only assume my mother is a slime that lives here
14:15:40
Melyer's eyes grow cold suddenly and she fixes you with a hard stare
14:16:53
What did you say your name was again?
14:17:00
poki blushed deeply getting a little scared as the elder stares at her getting closer to sunny for comfort m-my name is poki~
14:18:09
Begone from here! You are not wanted in this place!
14:18:31
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny, perceiving the coldness into the Elder's stare, put herself in between them, challenging the look of the Elder I think you were here to help.
14:18:38
The elder yells at you, waving a hand to brush you off
14:18:58
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny stays still, one hand in Poki's one. My friend came all the way here to discover her past, and you can't just send us off like that! Give her a chance, she's good at heart, I'm sure you see it too!
14:20:20
We have no business with her. That is final.
14:20:55
poki looked down staying behind sunny holding her hand hearing what the elder says makes poki a littlew mad as she looks up with a heavy breath knowing the elder knows something and staeps up and infront of sunny NO! i am not gonna let you send me off like this you know something and i wont leave until i know the truth you cant reject me i am one of you i am part of this tribe if my mother is you cant treat me like i am different and dont belong here i never chose for me to be like this you can blame me for me being my self!
14:23:29
the elder pauses, then considers her words carefully
14:24:53
First, no, your mother was not part of us at first. I was the one who accepted her in... A mistake. One that I am not going to repeat
14:25:53
Second, yes, you never chose... She chose for you.
14:26:24
Bot/Eliminado
Tell us what happened!
She holds Poki close to her, trying to protect her fragile heart from the Elder's frozen words
14:27:16
I can bring you to meet her. But i believe you will come to regret that request.
14:27:33
poki looked at the elder her face changing from a rather mad face to a confused and curious w-what do you mean it was a mistake and what you mean by she chose for me elaborate and i would love to meet her i been trying to find her for a while my dad said to let it go but i cant not anymore not after what happened over the past month
14:29:33
Very well. You've made your choice against my wishes... Just like she did, all those years ago. Like mother like daughter, I suppose... Follow me, if you wish...
14:30:28
she starts heading toward the entrance of the village, walking past the front gates
14:31:19
i am just trying to understand and learn about my past my existence miss elder slime
poki said looking at sunny starting to slowly follow the elder still holding sunny's hand
14:33:19
she walks through the swamp, then up a small estuary, the source of water in the area. The water gets clearer as you leave the swampy area and into the forest
14:34:20
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny quietly follows, knowing and feeling all the fears into Poki's heart. She walks next to her, never letting her hand go, trying to comfort her with a smile when she looks over her
14:36:17
poki smiled slightly at sunny and followed along w-why where you trying to hide this from me what is so bad and why are we leaving the swamp?
14:38:02
(we're breaking for 20 minutes, will be back soon!)
14:38:33
The Elder starts to talk as she walks, ignoring the question
14:52:51
Your mother, Mylaela, was not originally from the village. She was a wandering slime, stumbling upon our little settlement as a child. We took her in happily, and eventually I adopted her, like the daughter I never had
14:54:02
She grew up happy. For all intents and purposes, she was one of us. Until your father, Arwin, came.
14:54:46
We showed him hospitality, as we would for any other. But he took advantage of that hospitality and became interested in your mother. Worse still, was that she fancied him too, and he stayed for an extended period of time in her company.
14:56:00
poki listened and nods feeling happy she is being told about what happened ok but what did my dad do to get your hospitality in the first place? he never told me anything about this i guess he thought it was for the better for me
14:59:55
He didn't need to do anything. It is in our nature to welcome any visitors that arrive from beyond the veil. As long as the travellers mean us no harm, why should we be hostile to them?
15:02:13
w-well let me revert that question why would you hide your village if you welcome any visitor?
15:03:31
she tilts her head in puzzlement
15:05:17
The veil? That was not created by us. Where would we get that kind of power? It existed long before we did.
15:05:52
poki tilts her head surprised w-well how would i have known that anyway back to the point s-so what happened that made you decide me and my dad need leave the village?
15:08:27
poki leaned against sunny a little
15:09:02
Slimes must not mate with non-slimes. It is a non-negotiable rule. Your father broke that rule. You are the result of that transgression. Thus, you both had to be expelled.
15:10:15
may i know why its not allowed for a slime to mate with a non-slime?
15:11:20
she stares at you for a long moment, but does not respond. instead she ends her little stroll at a small clearing near the source of the tributary, then kneels down in front of a headstone
15:14:59
On it is written:
15:15:12
<“A mother’s love knows no bounds. It lives on forever, in the hearts and souls of those she cherishes”>
15:15:32
she pats the headstone slowly and gently my dear daughter, your little one is finally here to see you.
15:15:58
poki looked at the elder kneeling down taking a few steps back after she read the writing on the headstone one hand moving over her mouth befor she lets go of sunny's hand some tears starting to roll down her cheek as she slowly walks over to the elder slime and kneels down beside her giving her a hug w-what happened to my mom
she shakes a little bit
15:21:17
This... this is why the rule should never be broken...
she sighs, still caressing the headstone
15:22:32
When slimes and slimes have children, they come out normal. But when slimes mate with non-slimes and produce children, the children come out as slimes, but without a core
15:23:28
she points to her own core, right inside her body
15:23:43
A slime without a core lasts no more than a few days. It is a body without direction. It has no way to sustain itself. It shrivels up within a week.
15:24:43
poki looks at the head slime realising where this is going bursting out in tears on the spot unable to reply at that moment
15:25:55
You were born without one. As all such children are. I gave you no more than 5 days.
15:26:52
Mylaela, the silly child... she did the unthinkable, and gave you her core. Her core now lives in you. It is her greatest, and final gift to you.
15:27:55
welcome back sunny
15:31:24
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny listens to the story quietly, a litte sadness crossing her face as she apprehends the fate of Poki's mother
15:31:38
poki still crys and hugs the elder tight rubbing her back as she takes a moment to calm down i am so so so sorry i know its not my fault but it kind off feels like it is, i am sure she loved you and wants the best for you i know i might be pushing boundaries with this statement but i dont think she would want you to push me away and let me be unknowingly and if i am not wrong since her core is whats letting me live doesnt that mean she lives through me and me being close with you would mean you are close to your daughter again?
15:35:13
You are... not wrong...
she sighs deeply
15:36:46
but it was also her wish...
15:36:59
But first, do you have news of your father? Why did he not come with you?
15:37:57
w-well once i turned 18 years old i decided to leave him and search for mom i haven't really seen him in a few years i just been traveling from place to place and as i met sunny
she points to sunny the one she brought with her my slime core i guess got activated as we had a little rumble in the mut cause of some snacks where i seen memories about the village now that i think about it where those memories that where in the core of my mother?
15:42:28
I know not. It is possible...
she thinks for a bit
15:43:16
If you ever hear of your father's whereabouts, I think he would like to visit. And in case you hear of his passing, we have prepared... a lot, right beside Mylaela, just for him.
15:44:02
she points to the soft, empty patch of grass next to the headstone
15:44:14
It is the least we can do for them... If it comes to that.
15:45:33
poki nods and looks at the elder i-i will let him know i-is this why you guys buried her body out side the veil so my dad could visit her? a-also if you have prepared all this why did you try to send me away earlier saying you have no business with me?
15:47:31
I was... Trying to spare you the pain. Sometimes, ignorance is better than the pain of realization.
15:48:11
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny looks at the graves of the two lovers, her heart filling with sadness as her eyes tear up a little: she's still by Poki's side, waiting for her to live the moment
15:48:45
I tried to spare you the pain... Ignorance can be comforting, rather than the helplessness of knowledge.
15:49:14
Besides, you have no place in the village. Why burden you with this sorrow?
15:49:35
Bot/Eliminado
Because the truth is always the right way.
she says, looking the elder into her eyes
15:51:02
is that so... You may be right...
15:52:12
i-i...
poki sighs and looks at the elder i understand.. well even if i dont have a place at the village i needed to know so i can live in peace with my mind i needed to know what happened why i am like this so i can feel like my self again and i am sorry if this was rough for you to show and tell me i know its not easy to talk about someone you treated like your own daughter..
poki pulled sunny in for a hug
15:53:16
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny, understanding Poki's pain, wraps her arms around her silently, startint to stroke her back gently Hush... you're fine Poki, you're fine
15:55:15
Well, since Arwin isn't here. I suppose there is something you should see then, now that you have come to learn the truth.
15:56:09
poki looks at the elder and nods i never asked for your name actually miss elder but please show me and in case we need to go on a walk maybe sunny can talk about what she wanted while we go?~
15:58:05
That is certainly possible. I am Melyer, the Elder of the village, and once adoptive mother of Mylaela. I suppose that makes me your grandmother of sorts.
15:58:57
Let us return. What you seek lies in my residence.
15:59:23
she stands up and starts on the journey back
15:59:31
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny stays silent for a while, then she finally picks up the courage and decides to speak up Miss Melyer... As I think you could notice, I am not born as a slime, but somehow turned into one.
She looks at her own jelly body, her tail wagging behind her Would you maybe know how is that possible?
16:01:14
poki got up following the two back listening to there conversation
16:02:15
Well you are not wrong you are my grandmother of sorts
16:02:47
You... turned into one? I have not ever heard of that happening before. Would you tell me how you gained this ability?
16:03:57
Bot/Eliminado
This is a mystery for me as well...
she keeps looking at her own wiggly body, while you head back to the village That's why I thought you could have answered me. This has happened since I met Poki. I am not new to magic, so I have learned to control it a bit, but the thing is that since I've met Poki I have gained this ability to shapeshift into a slime.
16:06:06
You gained the ability simply by meeting Poki?
The elder frowned
16:07:17
Bot/Eliminado
Yeah, that is what I think has happened... Since meeting her, and right after our little fight, I found myself able to do this
16:08:01
I know not of being in the proximity of slimes giving anyone such an ability, or anyone who visited our village would become a slime themselves. That is absurd.
16:08:07
Had you two done anything when you met?
16:08:36
poki looks at sunny and then at the elder
16:09:20
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny sighs, the elder words giving a confirm to her doubts: it was her own magic that allowed her to do that, but how and why it was still a mystery to her As I said, we had a little fight, but nothing serious. Then Poki shifted from her human for to her slime form, and right after the same happened to me.
16:10:15
and i am still able to shift into my human form
poki says and transforms for a moment forgetting she was bearly wearing something last time she was in her human form
16:11:33
... no, i definitely know nothing to that extent. At least, it is not a slime power ever known. Slimes do not make more of ourselves just by being in proximity of another being, or we'd very quickly be overrunning the world.
16:11:33
Bot/Eliminado
I see, thanks anyway for your help. I might have found the answer I was looking for as well...
16:12:19
well what could it have been then cause i havent been able to transform my self neither knew about it until i met sunny?
poki looks down seeing she is bearly wearing anything transforming back
16:12:43
sorry melyer i forgot last time i transformed i was bearly clothed i apologize for showing that
16:13:30
Hmmm.. you would always have had the ability to be a slime. I find it far more interesting that you have a non-slime form.
16:14:00
Sadly, I don't think I will be able to be of help in this regard
16:14:14
If you find any clues, do bring it back to me and I shall see how I can help
16:14:35
she brings you right back to the village and back to her residence, the largest building in the small settlement
16:14:59
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny giggles looking at Poki's half naked body until she transforms back into a slime Not a bad sight, heh
She then looks at the elder Do you think that Poki would be able to learn how to use her form better for the future? Like, being able to shift into shapes and grow new parts of her body?
16:15:10
Slimes always have the ability to regenerate quickly as long as their core stays intact. They are also able to shift shapes - we are made of malleable material, after all
16:16:20
I am sure it is just a matter of getting used to your body.
16:16:42
poki looks at the two and blushes at sunny's comment s-shush it sunny!
poki looks at the elder and nods s-so it will just take time for me to get used to... what is it that you wanted to show me by the way melyer?
16:17:56
Ah yes. Come. This room hasn't been opened in some time...
16:18:33
poki holds sunny's hand and follows melyer oki
16:19:34
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny follows as well, entering the room while her hand holds Poki's
16:20:04
the elder leads you up the stairs and unlocks a door. It is a simple bedroom, with a large bed, several photos and mementos on the shelves and walls. However, in contrast to the rest of the house, everything in this room was covered by a thin sheet of dust. It is clear that this room has not been disturbed for some time
16:20:18
the pictures depict a loving couple, a female slime and a male human. Occasionally, you can see images of an infant poki, being hugged and caressed by them both
16:21:29
poki looked around and asked seeing the layer of dust through out the entire room seeing the pictures and looks at melyer i-is this where my mom used to stay?
16:22:15
Bot/Eliminado
Aww...
Sunny cannot help but having her heart melting at the sight of the pictures, the little Poki in them being the cutest thing she has ever seen
16:22:23
Very astute. This was Mylaela's room. I have not been here since... you left.
16:22:54
poki looks at melyer she was beautiful i wish i could have grown up with her presence... m-may i take one of the pictures with me?
poki asked grabbing one where she is hugged by her mom and dad looking at it tearing up slightly
16:25:00
Do as you wish. I suppose it is your room and your belongings now...
16:25:35
she gestures towards the desk and this... this is also yours
16:25:49
on the table is a letter, sealed with what is obviously dried remains of a slime body. There is a thin layer of dust on the letter, just like the rest of the room. It is clear it hasn't been touched since the day it was placed there
16:26:38
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny looks at the letter with interest, walking closer to Poki and leaning forward to inspect it closer Was it from Poki's mother?
16:27:39
m-my room? i thought i had no place in the village
poki looks surprised befor turning her attention to the desk and walk to it removing the dust from the latter reading it
16:28:00
poki broke down in tears reading the latter falling to her knees its a mix of sadness and joy feeling the love her mom put into the latter wishing she could hug her rn but instead speaks out loud h-hey mom i-i am sorry you couldnt see me grow up dad took good care of me but i wish you could have been there too i am sorry i had to leave dad as he didnt want to come with me to find you i think he thought it be better if i stayed and never went aswell but i was stubborn as i turned 18 i began my journey to find you i finally found you and i am just so sorry that there was no other way i am so so thankful for what you have done for me
poki breaths heavily and trys to calm down
16:35:24
The elder just stands there, allowing Poki to let her emotions out in the sanctuary that she can truly call hers
16:36:15
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny remains silent, one hand moving along Poki's back to try and calm her down, as she barely can hold back her tears as well in front of such a dramatic scene
16:37:03
she sobs and looks at melyer as she gets up and hug her grandmother of sort t-thank you for showing me this b-but may i know why you have changed your mind going from saying i dont have a place in this village to saying this is my room and belongs to me?... also i appritiate that offer but i think you should keep some of these things for your self aswell as memory to your daughter~
16:40:11
That was not my intention. Our doors are always open, and this room will always belong to you. I have no use for it. Did Mylaela not make it clear in her letter? In her last days, she insisted that you never return here, for your life, and Arwin's, would be wasted confined here in the village.
16:41:57
I would be more than happy to take you as one of our own once more, but I am merely honouring the wishes of my daughter.
16:42:21
Bot/Eliminado
Sunny wipes out one tear from her eye, looking at Poki as she helps her getting up Poki, I think you should return here from time to time... this is your true home, your people... this is what you are. The doors of my Shrine will always be open for you and I will always be waiting for your return, but I think you might need to stay among your people for a while, to learn to know yourself better.
16:44:04
poki looks at sunny while she puts the picture she had grabbed among the latter into her bag looking at melyer and sighs i understand melyer is it ok ifor you take me as one of your own once more but with me living outside coming to visit you from time to time? that way i still fulfil my moms wish but also learn and find out more over time? i appreciate you showing me all of this
16:47:45
As you wish. Our doors never turn away travellers, much less one of our own. It will take you some time to refurbish this room for yourself, but if you wish to return, none of us will stop you.
16:48:59
As long as your conscience is clear, I am sure you will make the right decision regarding your future.
16:49:33
poki nods and gives a little bow it would be my pleasure i will clean this room when i return and if you ever wanna come see me when i am not here you are always welcome to come visit me at the sun shrine where i live with this lovely fennec that welcomed me like open arms just like you did after i didnt leave when you wanted me too earlier
16:52:54
she smiles sadly that will not be possible, for I have duties that I cannot neglect here. Good day to you both, and may you solve your mysteries swiftly, little slime-fox.
16:54:49
poki smiles i understand i guess i will see you when ever i come visit the village grandmother~
16:56:39
Bot/Eliminado
sunny bows once again to the Elder, a relieved smile on her face I must thank you for helping us uncovering the truth about Poki's past. It was important for her. Thanks and thanks once again, you're a good person.
She takes Poki's hand, ready to leave, waving goodbye at the Elder Let's go now, Poki, we have guests to wait and take care for
16:59:18
Goodbye for now. We shall meet soon, and until then, may Mylaela continue to look upon both of you.
17:00:08
poki bows with sunny again and smiles Thank you again Melyer we will see each other soon again i am sure i might even see you at the headstone, i will visit her when ever i have time aswell
poki waves and hold sunny's hand as they leave and start there journey back to the sun shrine
17:04:15
(looks like that's it)
