I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

Chapter 131: Back at the Temple

[Luna POV]

After looking around the city for a bit, we returned to the Temple of Night.

Have you also blessed this temple Tamamo?

{I did, but it was a lesser blessing than the one at the Shrine of the Moon.}

Why is that?

{Because out of my three Authorities, the one that pertains to the moon is the one Im most known for.  It would only make sense to bless the place dedicated to the moon with a bigger blessing.}

Will I need temples or shrines dedicated to space and fluff then?

{Like Ive said before, followers and places of worship dont really affect us except for morale, so they arent really necessary, but that probably wont stop people making temples or shrines eventually.}

I see.  Now that I think about it, what exactly does blessing a place do?

{Depends on what the god or goddess blessing the place wants, though most of the time, it just consecrates the place.  That way when funerals are held and people are buried they dont return as undead.}

Interesting.

{Do you have any idea on what you want your blessing to do at your shrine?}

I have a few ideas, but Im not sure on the final details yet.  Ill consult with you some other time.

{I understand.}

As we came up to the temple, the sun was setting.  When we entered the temple, it seemed to be busier than it was this morning.

I guess this place will be relatively busy at night, wont it. (Luna)

Thats highly likely. (Velvet)

We headed to the office Mordred was most likely in and knocked on the door.  When we heard her reply, we entered and found another person inside.

Welcome back. (Mordred)

So, these are the people you were telling me about?  Its nice to meet you all, my name is Morgan le Fay, Mordreds mother. (Morgan)

Its been a while, Lady Morgan. (Velvet)

Indeed it has, Miss Velvet.  How has your mother been? (Morgan)

Shes been good.  She has taken up leadership in the Beast Kingdom again. (Velvet)

I assumed as much when Mordred told me you were travelling around as an adventurer.  Im honestly surprised you lasted as long as you did as the leader over there. (Morgan)

You and me both. (Velvet)

Morgan then turned to me.

And you are Lady Luna, I presume? (Morgan)

I am. (Luna)

She smiled and bowed to me.

Thank you for ridding the world of those two lunatics. (Morgan)

There is no need for thanks, Ill do anything as long as it makes the Goddess happy. (Luna)

{It feels weird hearing you talk about me without using my name.}

I agree.

Understandable. (Morgan)

She then turned back to Mordred.

Ill leave the rest to you Mordred, I need to go and handle clan affairs now that the Volkihar clan is gone. (Morgan)

She then left the room.

Those two were the last of their clan? (Luna)

Yep.  The rest of them died a long time ago when vampires were hunted. (Mordred)

Why would they not put rebuilding their clan as their first priority? (Soleil)

Well, you all know how Beryl was.  Mortem on the other hand was just as stupid.  He believed that only getting the daughter of one of the old clans to marry him would be good enough for his clan.  Thats the reason he only ever went after either Velvet or Miss Bathory. (Mordred)

I still dont really get that.  Its not like only two people can rebuild a clan.  If he was waiting for his brother to do anything with Tamamo, that wouldnt really work out since I know Tamamo doesnt want children.  Not that I would ever let him even get that far in the first place. (Luna)

Believe it or not, Beryl was the smart one.  All Mortem ever cared about was listening to his brother and trying to find someone that met his standards. Mordred said with a scowl.

What made you hate him so much? (Ophidia)

Everything.  But if I had to say one of the more infuriating things, it would be how he insulted my family.  Us vampires have a lot of pride in our families and the things he said about mine stomped all over that pride with spiked boots covered in goblin dung. (Mordred)

I see. (Ophidia)

Enough talking about insignificant dead people, did you have those rooms prepared? (Luna)

Yeah, Ill show you to them.  Follow me. (Mordred)

She led us out of the office and brought us to a hallway with several doors on either side.

While not as fancy as I would have preferred to let you stay in, this is all the temple has, not to mention that I doubt any of you would have wanted to stay in a room like that. (Mordred)

Thanks for that. (Luna)

No problem. (Mordred)

She showed us all several rooms next to each other.  We thanked her and went inside.  The rooms interior was pretty empty aside from a bed, a desk, and a dresser.

Not much, but thats better than a fancy, overdecorated room.

I laid down on the bed and stared at the roof.  I laid there in silence for a few minutes.

{What are you thinking about Luna?}

Not much.

I raised my hand and the roof exploded with  an illusion of a starry sky.

Better.

{How pretty.}

Thanks.  Im planning on making my shrines inside look like this once I bless it.  Maybe add an effect that that helps diviners a small bit.

{That sounds good to me.}

*Sigh*  You know, I really want to hug you right now.

{Any particular reason?}

No.  I just want to be close to you right now.

{Then make a domain and Ill lay down next to you until you fall asleep.}

I did as she said and made a domain the size of the room.  Tamamo then appeared and laid down next to me.  She moved a few of her tails to cover me and I wrapped my arms around her.

Fufufu.

She then started petting my head.

{This is nice.}

I tightened my hug for a few seconds then spoke.

I love you so much Tamamo.

{Ufufufu.  I love you too, Luna.  You are my one and only.}

She then started hugging me with both her arms and tails.  After spending a while like that, I started slowly falling asleep.

Chaos Realm:

Atmos: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA!

Damn it Atmos, you just ruined the good atmosphere that was going on.

Atmos: Eh? *She looks over to the tv where we watch what goes on* Oh, sorry about that.

Well too late now.  So, what is it that made you laugh like that?

Atmos: That new portal you added to my room that leads to that sphinx's place is great.  There is so much stuff I can get there that I've been having trouble keeping all of my excitement bottled up.  I've even had Grey spread several of the items I got from there in dungeon chests for people to find.

I feel conflicted about that.  On one hand, I'm a bit worried about the kind of things that will happen from now on, but on the other hand, I can't wait to see what happens because I know it will be exciting.

Atmos: Hahahaha!  That's the spirit.
