Guardian Of The End

"What kind of favor?" Jason immediately questioned. He had read enough novels to know where this would go.

"Relax, its something that can be done right now. Me and the rest of my subordinates will owe you a lot if your guardian agrees to help us." The monkey king reassured him. "Do you want to hear what it is?"

'What do you think about this, Hestia?' Jason asked his guardian. Since he wasn't the one doing the favor, he decided to leave the choice to Hestia.

[ If we can get one of the rulers of the beginner's area to befriend us, we will have a high advantage over the others until we can explore another area. ] Hestia replied. [ I will talk to him myself. ]

After telling her thoughts to Jason, Hestia materialized beside him in her wolf form.

'Is it me or is your fur glowing a bit?' Jason raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Hestia' gray wolf fur seemed to be glowing with a new shine. It was clear that the guardian was confused as well since she shook her head.

"I greet you, the strongest guardian in the realm of Animolis!" The monkey king suddenly knelt on the ground. "Its an honor to meet you!"

[ Likewise, ] Hestia replied through telepathy. Though her powers allowed her to converse with the monkey king, she still preferred telepathy over verbal talk.

In this manner, no third party would be able to listen to their conversation.

[ As your vessel might have told you, I need your help in something. ] Not wanting to offend the guardian, the monkey king shifted to telepathy as well.

[ Don't call him my vessel. Refer to him by his name, Jason. ] Hestia replied with a frown.

The monkey king immediately panicked and bowed his head. He asked for forgiveness before continuing ahead.

[ I am sorry for that. I want to tell you that we, the red-butt monkey race, originally belonged to Animolis. Some of our ancestors forcefully appeared here during the combining of Clover. ] The monkey king informed.

[ I see. So you technically belong to my realm. ] Hestia replied with an emotionless face.

Jason on the other hand was confused.

'What does he mean by 'Combining of Clover'?'

[ I have no idea what he means by that. I just went with the flow. ] Hestia replied with a shrug.

The guardian had no idea what event the monkey king had talked about. But since she didn't want to ruin her image, she had agreed with his words.

[ Our race has always worshiped the Guardians belonging to Animolis so I request you to assist me in something related to my heir. ] The monkey king finally stated what he wanted and bowed.

[ Jason, what do you think we should do? ] Hestia asked in a conflicted tone.

Even though she was a guardian from Animolis, she didn't know much about her abilities, powers and restrictions as a guardian.

She had only glanced over the basics before rushing off to Clover to learn what happened in the past.

Hestia had heard about the combining event before but hadn't been able to learn more about it.

'I think you should agree to his request. If you can't fix it, just say that your powers are still at a very low level due to how recently you combined with me.' Jason suggested.

[ But that's the truth… More than ninety percent of powers are restricted due to how weak you currently are. The only things I can provide are my mana, my aura, and that special lightning. ] Hestia pointed out.

'You are giving me a lot more things. So trust me on this and agree to his request.'

[ All right. ] Hestia nodded before looking back at the monkey king. [ Tell me what is wrong with your heir? ]

[ Thank you, great guardian. I think its better that you come and see my heir yourself since it would be much better than my explanation. ] The monkey king replied.

While keeping his head low, he stood up and walked out of the door. Hestia and Jason followed him silently as he guided them towards another room, one that had a door.

[ Inside this door is my heir. She is the same age as your… err… Jason but she is very weak and barely looks like a five year old monkey. I hope you can see what is wrong with her and help her. ]

Hestia simply and gestured for the monkey king to open the door. He happily obliged and opened the door for them to look inside.

Jason was surprised to see that the interior of the room was the most human-like thing he had seen in the entire monkey civilization.

There was a small cot like thing lying in one corner of the room. Jason could see that a baby was placed in the cot.

Jason and Hestia slowly approached the cot and looked at the baby.

The baby was barely the size of Jason's arm and looked extremely malnutritioned. Her hair were a light shade of blond but unlike the other monkeys, she didn't have fur covering her body.

[ Can you tell us a bit about your wife? ] Hestia asked with a frown.

[ Ahh, she isn't my child. She was dropped here in the forest by a demi-human female. The mother of this child was badly injured at the time but this incident happened ten years ago. The child is still alive but something is wrong with her. ]

After hearing the explanation, Hestia's frown deepened. She looked at Jason and asked him to place her beside the baby.

Jason obliged and lifted the wolf. He placed Hestia near the baby's head and stood back.

The monkey king and Jason looked at Hestia with an anxious expression as she touched her paw to the child's forehead.

The guardian closed her eyes and sent her mana inside the child's body. Minutes passed by in this manner.

Hestia's eyes suddenly flew open as she hopped off the cot. She came to stand beside Jason before taking a deep breath.

[ What I am going to tell you should never reach the ears of any other soul. Do I make myself clear? ] Hestia questioned the monkey king.

[ I swear upon the realm of Animolis and the Goddess Styx that whatever happens inside this room will never be known by any other person. ] The monkey king undertook one of the strongest oaths known to living beings.

[ That's enough. ] Hestia agreed before staring at the cot, her eyes glowing blood red.

[ That child is a demi-god. ]
