"Find her! Don't even think of resting until you find my sister!" Alfia was enraged to the point she showed visible emotions such as opening her eyes to which she never did.
However today was different as she found out that her sister, the only thing that she truly loved in this world, went missing for hours now.
And to make it worse, there was no trace of her going out the manor, it could only mean one thing. Meteria has been abducted by someone who is capable of hiding their presence without them noticing which was an achievement itself as most of them are very capable trackers.
Or worse, that abductor had the ability to teleport which was something they have no counter to, as it's arguably one of the rarest skills anyone could obtain.
Only a few in history an adventurer obtained that kind of skill.
"I swear if I find whoever is responsible for this…" The white haired belle was fuming in rage, imagining the things she would do if she were to find the culprit of this incident.
As she was about to move herself to find her beloved sister, she suddenly heard a door closing behind her and as she turned her back she saw her sister to which she immediately tackled her twin and let out an emotional cry.
To anyone who knew of her, this would be an impossible sight as she was someone who is cold expressionless and the kind of person rarely shows emotions aside from an occasional anger or irritation.
But never sadness, to her Meteria was a special existence, and only she could make her feel like this exclusively.
No one in this world had the same privilege as her twin sister.
"Sister! Where have you been?! Do you have any idea how worried I was?!" Words that were literally impossible for anyone aside from Meteria to hear came out from Alfia's mouth.
Meteria as a gentle and kind person that she is, she immediately gave her sister a returning hug and a gentle pat on the head to calm her twin sister.
If anyone aside from her did such intimate action, they would find their hands flying out their original place.
It took a while for her sister to calm down, after saying some few gentle words to her and later the rest of the familia noticed that commotion and saw Meteria which made the majority of them sigh in relief seeing that she was physically fine.
After fussing over their precious familia member to which annoyed Alfia greatly as she hated noise but didn't say anything as it was quite illogical for her to get angry at her fellow familia for being worried about her sister.
It took a few minutes for everything to calm down and now the goddess of the familia Hera said. "Alright, girls I think it's time for you to go, I know you're all worried about Meteria but since she's now here and completely unharmed it's time for the rest of you to go back to your respective responsibilities."
While some were professional enough to understand, there are few that complained saying that it's unfair but the cold glare the goddess of marriage stopped that little rebellion and everyone left to do their respective jobs aside from Alfia, Meteria and of course Hera.
Now that the room is completely private it was time for her to interrogate Meteria for questions she'd been meaning to ask after finding her.
"My dear, tell me where have you been? You know that we are very worried about your sudden disappearance to the point that your sister almost went physical with it." Hera pointed out.
To which Alfia let out a snort, but didn't disagree as she was that close to using physical violence to literal anyone if Meteria wasn't found sooner.
"If that was your idea of a prank, then I'd be very disappointed in you.. however if someone is responsible for your disappearance then.." The once gentle look on Hera's face became quite twisted that it might be mistaken for a demon rather than a goddess. "Whoever they are, they will pay."
Alfia also has her own brand of look that was more or less as twisted as her goddess.
Seeing their reaction, she quickly denied those accusations and waved her hand in the air in denial. "No, no, no! It wasn't his fault, it's more of an accident really!"
Alfia's eyes narrowed as she noticed her sister's words. "..'his'? So, someone is indeed responsible for your disappearance and it's a man?"
"Who is it?! Tell me which familia that scoundrel belongs to! I'll show him what it's like to provoke me the goddess Hera!" Hera scowled at that and was already thinking of how to punish this 'man' for his insolence, for not only making them worry but also kidnapping the precious gem of their familia.
Meteria eyes widened at their misunderstanding, and quickly dismissed their words. "Please, no! He isn't at fault in this! Beside he isn't even part of any familia!"
Hearing that from her, both women in the room looked confused at that.
"Not part of any familia? Then how did he even get you from here without using any skill or magic? I refuse to believe a mortal without falna could sneak from our manor without anyone noticing."
"Meteria, if you're doing this to protect whoever that person is.."
"No, no really! He isn't part of any familia or this world for that matter." Meteria words made them more confused.
"What are you talking about..? Not part of this world? You're talking riddles sister."
"Indeed my child, if you're talking about Tenkai then it's understandable, but from your words I don't think you're thinking about that and there's no other worlds aside from Genkai and Tenkai." Hera shared the confusion of her other child.
"Well…you're wrong about that. There are indeed worlds aside from the two, it was honestly shocking to me, but aside from that! I'm finally cured of my illness! I don't feel pain anymore!" Meteria decided to bring some good news rather than focusing on her benefactor, as she didn't want them to have a bad impression of him.
"Sister…that's no joking matter-" Alfia frowned at that, not believing her sister word of being 'cured' as she knew damn well that's even the gods themselves are helpless with their shared illness, though it's way worth for Meteria than her.
However, it wasn't the same case with their goddess as she knew that Meteria words weren't a lie as no one can lie to a god.
And exactly the reason why she was shocked at this unexpected revelation.
"Is that true?! You're really cured from your illness?"
"Hera..?" Alfia's eyes widened at her goddess reaction, realizing that her sister's words might be true after all.
"Yes! He cured me from my illness, that's why you should be thanking him rather than punishing him!" Meteria said.
However, despite her words of praise toward her benefactor, the other women in the room were more focused by the fact that she might have been cured.
"We need to check if it's really true, I can't just trust what she's saying despite knowing it's not a lie."
Alfia nodded but at the same time hopeful that her sister's words might be true, after all she didn't want her to suffer more than she already is.
And after that they dragged her away from the manor and went directly to get a check up on her body.

"Unbelievable…" Miach couldn't believe what he diagnosed, just a little while ago this girl's body was a wreck and now checking it once again she's completely fine..?!
He knew better than anyone of how severe her illness was, and as a god of medicine it was the most unique case that he had encountered.
As it was an illness that no mortal should have, it was incurable in Genkai, but if it was in Tenkai he might have found a cure, but in this world or mortals?
It was basically impossible, that's why it was ridiculous how she was cured. If it was just a temporary solution to alleviate her pain, it was understable but a complete cure?
That's a miracle.
After he finished checking Meteria, with a look of disbelief in his face he said. "It's real..she is really cured from her illness."
Hearing that shocking news, Alfia couldn't stop herself from being emotional and tackled her sister and gave her a hug and cried even knowing that there's people in the room.
However, she couldn't care less at the moment as she was too happy to the point that she didn't care about her reputation or appearance upon hearing this wonderful news.
Hera was also in a state of shock, but quickly got over it and smiled at the sisters' emotional moment.
Although she has a lot of questions in mind that she wanted an answer to..
For now, she refrained from asking about it for now.
