*Yggdrasil chuckled and stood up*, "I'll see your guests to my parlor then Nono, sorry to cut your break short", *she stated as her stomach shrunk up into her body, its squirming contents appearing to be slurped up into her breasts and backside, writhing under her robes and armor.*<br/><br/>"Eh, its okay, I think the Mistletoe crew is handing out fresh honeydew anyways, Tata!", *Nono stated before launching herself into the sky, in a single huge spiral she flew into the high heavens then zipped away faster than anything the crew of the bloody devil had ever seen with a loud 'POW' as she broke the sound barrier with ease.*<br/><br/>"Follow me then lovelies, step lively", *Yiggy stated as she rose onto her hind legs and moved with a hefty swagger in her hips, part of it being the sloshing over her rear, the other the twisting of her hips.* "You may not know this but I was a pirate myself more than once, I prefer to rob those that are unnecessarily greedy, who take too much. Far more effective than outright killing, and far more morally rewarding. The other Gods would spit in my face for stating so but thats how I bloody think and their slobber won't deter me from my designs", *This was a very different Yggdrasil than the one they met in the Jade Jungle, she spoke to them in a manner...almost mortal esq.* "Gods should be more forthcoming, more direct with other races if you ask me, stupid Zahara never leaves her city, shes so detached from reality she'd blow up a city just to prove her point whether she be right OR wrong...shes the fire goddess, watch-the-hell-out for her temper, you think Nono's bad, PFFT you aint seen not'in yet."<br/><br/>*Yggdrasil would continue chatting up a storm with a truly enviable gift-of-gab, she loaded the trip to her mansion with information about the city itself, her opinions on where the best food was had, who was the best brawlers, a little tidbit on who to watch out for, who not to trust, and then they finally arrived at her mansion, which it really was. Unlike the boat themed city, her home was a chinese mansion, constructed from spruce wood that litterally grew out of a huge patch of earth  on the outskirts of the city where the wood of the boats suddenly became the wood of living trees, effectively making the line have boatyard half forrest. Green supple leaves grew from the top of her mansion, a huge courtyard lay behind the outer wall, and little hana scurried around all over, they promptly greeted Barusa marveling at her unique new form and the wings on her back which were promptly gnawed on to see if they tasted of fowl, sadly they too tasted of leaves.*<br/><br/>"Pick any room you like, there's a group shower in the north wing, my room is in the east wing. Meet me there if you want a good time tonight. Now, who wants a few lessons over tea?"<br/><br/>*Barusa's head shot up*, "Wait...lessons as in courting advice, or lessons as in combat?"<br/><br/>"Whats the difference?"<br/><br/>*Barusa tilted her head and then formed her two shields*, "How should i use these?"<br/><br/>*Yggdrasil approached Barusa eyeballed the shields, then suddenly slammed the two together, the two fused and transformed into a large double bearded axe, leaving Barusa Stunned*, "Form shields along your tails, then use them to build a wall of shields, you'll have the defense to properly set up the devastating blows of that weapon*<br/><br/>"How did you", *Baru started before Yiggy cut her off*, "I've designed shield based transformation weapons before, I know the signs...also, the runes of the plates of that weapon have a meaning, their norse. "lyn taler til jorden", "Lightning speaking to the Earth", it probably has latent storm magic as well as whatever you imbibe it with, the closer to storm magic you get, the more potent your spells will be."<br/>-<br/><br/>*Yiggy told barusa that each of the runes on the shield/axe held a magic spell, learning them would be a great step in her training, she began with Lyn "Lightning" and within moments, the axe was sending off little sparks of light like tiny stars viewed from the ground, electricity arced between them. She began practicing how to control them using the axe, it was tricky but she'd get the hang of it...*que Wiska getting zapped*...Eventually*<br/><br/>"Now who's next, you there in the fish's belly, come on out if you like, I'm a very well seasoned adventurer, why not get yourself a lesson from big mama Yiggy." *Yggdrasil stated as tea was brought in for her. She didn't have any fancy thrones or chairs, she just sat her giant tush on the ground, no elegance needed*
