13. The Good GOD

Aranjo sat down by the river, rolled up her skirt and began to clean the fish. As a goddess who has low magic power, she can only create a small space to store her things.

Unable to hold many items, it was different for those with high levels of magic power, they would be able to create a vast space to store valuable objects.

Aranjo took out the knife and the burning spices she had concocted, then asked Griffin to collect the firewood. After the fish is cleaned, Aranjo takes it to the place where firewood is stacked.

Pick a thin wooden stick and clean it using a knife and then pierce the fish that has been seasoned.

It's time to light a fire, her magic ability has not been able to control the Earth's core elements namely water, air, fire, and earth. Aranjo looked at Griffin and asked, "Can you light a fire?"

Griffin brought his beak closer to the pile of dry twigs he had arranged. Then he breathed his fire. Instantly, the fire lit up on a pile of twigs.

Aranjo clapped his hands happily and exclaimed," You are great!!"

Griffin nodded and sat down in front of Aranjo looking at how the Goddess was busy baking fish.

Aranjo is very painstaking when it comes to cooking. Occasionally, she will peek at his silent friend. As before, his silent friend's face was always expressionless. Their eyes met and they looked at each other for a long time.

Finally, Aranjo, who was the first to turn his face, must keep the grilled fish from becoming charred.

After a while, the fish had matured.

"Come here!" Aranjo exclaimed while waving her hand asking for a demon friend to approach her.

The emperor slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards Aranjo. Then the Emperor swung his arms and there appeared a wooden chair with beautiful carvings.

Aranjo stared in admiration, he was sure that the strength of his silent friend had reached a high level. The emperor sat on the chair and lifted one leg.

Aranjo handed one of the biggest grilled fish skewers to her silent friend. Then one stabbed and stabbed in front of Griffin. Aranjo took one skewer for herself and began to eat it. It is very tasty, not in vain. She often pays attention to figs when cooking.

It is not a bad taste of Aranjo cuisine. Emperors with high-level magic power no longer need to eat food like this. However, occasionally he will eat when he wants and Aranjo cuisine is worth eating.

Griffin finished the fish in one bite and stared at the few remaining skewers of grilled fish.

Aranjo smiled at Griffin who was eating voraciously. She had enough of one fish and was already full. Aranjo took all three more skewers of grilled fish left, Aranjo took all and stuck them in front of Griffin.

Griffin's eyes shone, his beak opened wide, and he was about to devour all the grilled fish. The emperor used his strength and took a skewer of grilled fish that was in front of Griffin. A skewer of grilled fish was in his hand and he began to eat.

Griffin didn't gobble up the fish, in case the emperor wanted it again.

"Eat!" the Emperor told Griffin.

Having received the consent of the Emperor, Griffin instantly devoured him.

Aranjo smiled broadly when he saw that his two friends liked her cooking.

"It's time to go back!" the Emperor said after the meal.

Aranjo nodded and came over to Griffin, then hugged his friend tightly. Griffin took a few steps back because of Aranjo's embrace. Aranjo came back to him, hugged him tightly, ruffled his golden feathers, and then released his arms.

Aranjo laughed at the appearance of the Griffin with the crumpled fur.

"See you, friend!" Aranjo said as she ran away from the Griffin and approached the Emperor.

After standing before the Emperor, Aranjo saw the Emperor shake his hand and Aranjo instantly returned to the Pavilion.

Aranjo looked around to make sure she had really returned.

She could only breathe a sigh of relief, after making sure this place was his residence. Aranjo just stayed inside the pavilion, she didn't even open the window because she didn't want anyone to know he was back so soon from the fog forest.

The sky was already dark, when Ara entered the pavilion. Ara is very surprised to see Aranjo arranging dinner on the dining table.

"Oh ... Aranjo, are you okay?" asked Ara while hugging Aranjo.

"Yes! I'm fine!" Aranjo replied while returning Ara's hug.

"When did you come back? Exactly how did you get back?" asked Ara, she knows for sure the limits of Aranjo's magic abilities.

"Friends help me! Does Ara remember? I used to meet two friends when I was first in the fog forest and it was thanks to one of my friends that I returned safely! And so this time!" Aranjo explained while sitting in a chair and eating a simple dinner.

Ara was only silent when she heard Aranjo's explanation, as far as she knew, in the fog forest there were no living beings and only evil spirits. Ara believes there must be a God or goddess who helps Aranjo, whoever it is Ara is very grateful for their kindness.

"The important thing is that you are back! For the next few days, don't show yourself!" said Ara who then sat in front of Aranjo and they had dinner together.

***

The next day, Aranjo still did not dare come out of the pavilion. She didn't want to see her sister or her parents. However, her calm did not last long.

Knock, knock!!!

A knock at the front door of the Pavilion. Aranjo let out a long sigh, who else came looking for her?

Aranjo opened the door and saw the Goddess of Wind in front of her.

"Good Morning, Mother!" The greeting is Aranjo.

The wind goddess ignored her greeting and walked into the pavilion. Then sit on one of the chairs in the pavilion.

"How did you get back?" asked the Goddess of cold Winds.

"A friend helped me!" the answer is honest.

"Friends?" The wind goddess repeated her words, then laughed mockingly.

"Tell me who your friend is!" orders the Goddess of the wind.

Aranjo was silent for a moment, if she said honestly, Aranjo was worried that the demon would be captured and destroyed.

"A good God!" replied Aranjo.

BRAK !!!

"Gods? Gods, you say? There are no gods or goddesses in the fog forest! There are only spirits there!" said The Goddess of Wind while hitting the table hard.

"Are you friends with evil spirits there? Have you studied black magic?" The Goddess of Wind came up to her and looked intently at her.

"No!" Aranjo replied for sure.

Then, the wind Goddess uses her magic to examine Aranjo's body. It seemed, the wind Goddess was trying to find a dark aura within her body. However, a disappointed expression was clearly visible on the face of the wind Goddess. It seemed, the wind Goddess was disappointed not to find the dark aura and got a reason to go back to punish her.

"Remember! I don't want to see your nose in the main residence!"

After that, the Wind Goddess came out of the pavilion and slammed the pavilion door shut.

No need to remind me! Aranjo also did not want to step on the main residence. If she wants to be safe, that's what she has to do.
