Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Yiksukesh opened her eyes as she woke once more in her comfortable bed.

"…"

Although a lot of time had happened since she was brought to Kireina's side, and she had changed a lot herself, she was still mildly arrogant and silent at times.

If there was nobody around, she would often remain mute, and her movements barely made a sound too.

She stretched her arms and walked to her bathroom, she quickly decided to take a bath. She was formerly an Undead being, but after evolving many times, she was more of a living being and well, a Great Goddess.

Many times she began to think if what she had reached was thanks to her efforts or just Kireina's aid. It was mostly Kireina's aid, yes, but that woman always told everyone that it was thanks to their efforts. She disliked being attributed for everything, and honestly felt bad about it, so she was always very humble.

Despite how monstrous she was against her enemies, when you got into Kireina's side, you would discover a surprisingly humble and motherly woman, sometimes hilariously insane, but most of the time very gentle and friendly.

At one point she had been invited by the other Dragon Maids to join them into something quite lewd… they wanted Kireina's seed, simply put, to have sex with her…

However, that little thing didn't ended quite as they wanted as Yiksukesh decided to not join them. She indeed loved Kireina, but more like a mother, or a big sister, or an aunt, rather than anything sexual.

And the other girls were honestly just horny.

They got what they wanted though, and might or might not lay eggs in the future… it depends if they were in the cycle or not.

They also weren't interested in becoming wives, and Kireina also just had a single night with the girls for fun and to gave them what they wanted as a "prize".

Although perhaps it might escalate into something more serious if the girls end pregnant… Kireina was very responsible of her children after all.

Nonetheless, this was none of Yiksukesh's concerns, she had woken up like every day and was going to take a warm bath and probably go have breakfast with Kireina's family, as she was always welcomed there, and she had begun to dislike eating alone.

After taking a bath and after she dressed into her favorite black and purple dress, she looked herself into the mirror, a pretty girl with sharp crimson-red eyes, long black and purple hair, and a slender body emerged, some parts of her body had purple and black scales, and she had a long snake-like tail growing from atop her butt. Her hands were covered with slim purple scales, and she had long black nails…

"…"

She looked at her expressionless face as she noticed something in it.

"?!"

There was a… a pimple.

How?

She was a goddess! No, a great goddess! How come she had a pimple?!

Her flawless face was now ruined.

How will she be able to present herself to all of Kireina's beautiful family like this?

She quickly used magic and erased it, while regenerating the skin.

It was now flawless once more.

She smiled faintly.

"Perfect." She thought.

She walked back to the nearby table and took out some makeup to fill in the little scar.

However, she found a little gem on it.

"…!"

It was a purple-colored gem made into a necklace.

She quickly remembered the one that had given it to her.

She had stored it inside of her very soul, so even when she was made into a Dungeon Boss and killed several times over, she still had this item saved.

How come she could had forgotten about it?

Well, she had gone through so many things in life since she joined Kireina that it was hard not to be able to justify it.

She grabbed it and cleansed the dust on it.

"Grandpa…" she sighed.

She noticed the sign of a snake on the jewel.

This was a little gift her grandfather had given to her long ago, before she even began to travel through the Realms after maturing. When she was still living in Helheim.

Yiksukesh was the granddaughter of Jormungandr, the brother of Hel.

Despite the bloodline of Jormungandr being around other Realms as she had many relatives, she was relatively very young compared to the other family members she had spread around the World.

Due to that, unlike the others that most of the time were born and raised themselves in the wild more like monsters than anything, Yiksukesh had the privilege of being raised by her grandfather because her little egg was laid by his oldest daughter, who had died after giving birth to her.

After all, her mother was a mortal, and she used to be one too, Jormungandr wanted to revive his oldest daughter, but Hel, had denied it back then.

Being heartbroken, he raised his little granddaughter instead, she was born sickly, actually, as her egg was very small.

When she was born, she had the size of a little worm no bigger than ten centimeters.

Her grandfather had to reduce himself into his humanoid form to properly raise the little worm-like granddaughter.

But she could remember very clearly the moment she hatched from her little egg, and found a handsome and gentle man greeting her.

"Welcome to life, little Yiksukesh."

These were the first words she ever heard in her life.

She was rather animalistic at first, and ate her own egg.

After that, her grandfather gently moved her through his palace, leaving her resting over a cushion where he put a bulb infused with a small fire spirit stone, giving her warmth as she slowly grew up.

She remembers that warmth, and how her grandfather caressed her slim scales and sang lullabies.

Although his voice was very strong and not soothing at all, there was a certain charm to his attempts.

"Papa…"

At two years of age, Yiksukesh suddenly spoke.
