500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

​ Listenia became transparent slightly, but I wasn\'t trying to see an x-ray of her insides. Instead, I was looking at Listenia\'s magical points or nodes. This allowed me to see how she was using her magic, and it could also tell me what might be wrong.

Listenia\'s heart was bright reddish-orange like fire, which was a good sign, mostly. I could see that she was trying to use it, but there was a fear surrounding her heart as a black and gray shroud. I looked over the rest of her body, and the other points were the same. Listenia was being held back by something, and I think that it had to do with her mother and her failure at using the bow.

"You know. Once you can learn to use the magic, there are so many things that you will be able to do that you never thought possible. Things that people told you that you would never succeed at you will, I promise. Anyone that ever looked down at you will be forced to look up to you and ask for your guidance. Your past was only a small part of your life, but in this present, you are going to change that. In the future, you will become that person I know you will be if you give this your all. Put your heart into the training, and keep moving forward with me," I said, and the fire in Listenia\'s heart brightened, pushing back the darkness.

The Pure Magic in her hand slowly turned from white to the same reddish-orange flame as her heart, and Listenia opened her eyes. She didn\'t look at her hand, only into my eyes.

"You really are so strange, but wonderfully amazing at the same time… why are your eyes bleeding again? What did you do this time?" Listenia asked, lifting an eyebrow at me as she noticed the blood.

"Just some more runes to let me see how the magic runs through your body. It is something I used to be able to help teach better, or it was when I was back in Yaggisdral," I said, and memories of the countless runes that I had there flowed into my mind. Some of them were not done by me, but they were special, and I wasn\'t sure if I could do them myself.

"So you could see what was bothering me? That almost seems like you can read my mind," Listenia asked, suddenly giving me a suspicious look, the Fire Magic vanishing from her hand as she pulled back.

"No, I can\'t read your mind; I have just learned a lot about you. I have also dealt with your mother, so I can only imagine how it must have been for you. I am also a lot more connected with your mother than either of us knows. Leo told me that the rest of the Goddesses and Elfinia were my pupils. I confirmed this with Nya since she was the one that followed me and was my closest pupil," I explained, and Listenia\'s eyes went large with surprise.

"You mean that they all redescend to the mortal realm just for you?" Listenia asked, but I shook my head.

"While I am sure that every one of them probably would have, they were forced down here. Some, like your mother, have no memory of me, and likewise, I had no clue and still don\'t about Elfinia. Hard to believe that I kept someone like that so close. Still, Tallia was pretty rough around the edges with me," I said, thumbing my own chin.

"Well, you being a god, it doesn\'t surprise me that you have many lovers, but I am just as surprised about this. My mother doesn\'t seem like the type to submit to anyone," Listenia said, and I grinned, dropping my hand from my chin.

"Tomorrow, we will find out about that. I don\'t think things are going to go easy with her, but I think that reality is going to hit her like a ten-pound post maul. She is going to know right away that she has no power, and that is going to be hard for her," I explained, and Listenia gave me a look.

"I hope that you aren\'t thinking that I am going to start feeling sorry for the woman that terrorized me my whole life?!" Listenia asked, and I waved her off.

"Wouldn\'t dream of it. No, this woman has it all coming to her. Your mother made a choice to stay sour this entire time, though; now I think that might have been because I left her behind," I said, but Listenia shrugged.

"Still not good enough for two hundred years of looking down her nose on everyone else. Believe me, I am far from the only person that will see this as a good thing. I am sure that most of the Goddesses are laughing themselves to sleep, but at the same thought, wondering if they are next. I think you are going to have some of them trying to earn your favor," Listenia said, and I nodded but waved my hand.

"Come on, let\'s drop all the talk of others for now. You and I are supposed to be training and not gossiping," I said, squeezing Listenia\'s hands that were still in mine.

"Wow, you want to get training that bad? I really thought that you were going to be less concerned about this, but you, as always, surprised me," Listenia said, and I grinned.

"Your beautiful and sexy naked body in my near future is all the motivation to make sure that I get this lesson done in good time. You know, there are only so many hours before the sun will return to burn the night away, right?" I asked, and Listenia smiled warmly at me.

"I also want to be back in your arms, with that tail wrapped around me and you deep inside of me," Listenia said, trying to lean in for a kiss, but I dodged her.

"Woman, you asked for this! So, start concentrating if you ever want to get to that!" I growled, and Listenia rolled her eyes and sat back down.
