Chapter 9

Broken Denial

In the world of Eden there were some facts and views that were too hard or painful to believe. Rather than accept it there were those who chose to ignore what was in front of them, disregarding any evidence or facts that may be presented, and believe what they wanted to believe instead. Maybe they were told someone precious to them had died and they couldn’t accept that, or were told humans could indeed love monsters and didn’t want to see it. They would fight these truths out of fear, anger, or confusion, always trying to deny what they wished wasn’t real. Of course sometimes their denial could only go so far, their stubbornness holding out for so long before they finally broke down and faced the truth.

They didn’t start out as believers, but they had become them.

Crawling forth on her hands and knees with slowly waving tails Star made her way through a patch of tall grass under the night sky, the jinx’s eyes curiously looking around with the world illuminated in a cyan hue. Star’s nocturnal vision had little trouble spotting Doku and Clover further up ahead, her movements becoming silent and light as she carefully approached the two while low to the ground. She saw the elf aiming an arrow in her bow around at the trees while the harpy was standing nearby with her head lowered and wings tucked close to her body.

“My what?” Clover shouted at her. “I don’t have any desires for that guy! I don’t want him, I never did and never will!”

“You don’t?”

“No! I could do so much better for a man to get seeds from. I wouldn’t want to fuck Dan if he was the last guy in Eden.”

“You don’t mean that,” Doku worried shaking her head.

“Yes I do,” Clover sternly asserted, turning her focus to where she was aiming her arrow. “I wouldn’t want to settle for anything less than an actual man to get seeds from, and that guy is as low as dirt.”

“Clover, please stop that,” Doku huffed as she quickly fluttered over in front of the elf. Clover lowered her bow with a grunt as the harpy had a troubled frown on her face. “Please don’t speak that way about Daniel, he’s done nothing to warrant you condemning him as such.”

“He’s a fucking moron and he’s been nothing but trouble for me since we met. I’ve been trying to get home all this time, to deliver that artifact back to my priestess and prove my place at Green Haven, and what’s been happening? I’ve had to deal with that idiot dragging his feet the whole time, whoring himself out to all those girls, and listening to his nonsensical babble about
