It was only a few minutes later that Alexander and the rest left Heena's house.
There on the door, Heena said, "If something else arises, please alert me."
Myuri nodded and turned to leave.
Alexander on the other hand still lingered on Heena. Because while she saw them out, the woman was till not wearing anything above her waist. Although she stood outside for all to see, she did not seem at all fazed.
It was as if, what she was doing was only normal.
As such, Alexander forrowed his brows.
Myuri noticed this, so she said to Alexander.
"You probably have a lot on your mind. Since you don't remember anything, I'm guessing you have a lot to ask."
"Yeah, a bit." Alexander said.
"If you had any questions, i will always be happy to explain anything to you. Your grandmother too had a lot of questions when the same happened to her."
For a moment, Alexander hesitated, but since he now has the halo of amnesia hovering on his head, he felt it would not be weird to ask.
"Why is Healer Heena just standing there almost naked? Isn't she afraid of being seen?"
Both Myuri and Azuri frowned at such a question.
"Why would she be afraid? It's not like there is a beast nearby."
With that answer in the form of a queation, Alexander confirmed his suspicion.
The people of this tribe aren't conscious of their nakedness. Up till now, Alexander has had many examples of this happening.
Firstly, Both Azuri and Myuri took off their chlothes in front of Alexander out of nowhere. Myuri was even showing Alexander how his cock was different from her pussy. Of course Alexander then just attributed it to them being attendants. He thought that maybe they were some sort of tribal prostitutes thay were meant to serve the chief. Their choice clothing after all didn't help dissuade this thought.
But this idea was shelved when he saw what other women of the tribe wore. It was basically the same. Not much different from what Myuri and Azuri wore. Then there was the woman walking around with her bare breast. Walking along the streets, she wasn't even trying to cover herself or run to get to a hiding place faster.
She was just walking.
And then it was Heena. The woman was basically naked right in front of him. With the way she was wearing that without much care, Alexander believed she would have just gone to talk to them had she not found it.
As these thoughts went through his mind, his tent was once again pitched. Throughout the walk, he tried to keep penis behind the loincloth, but the full tent was still visible.
Yet no one seems to care.
Well there are some who did turn to look, but that was it.
And seeing Azuri and Myuri's confused looks, Alexander confirmed all doubts and conjectures.
But if they did not care for who saw their bodies, Alexander had a question.
"Why do you wear clothes?"
"Hmm?"
Both Azuri and Myuri looked at Alexander quizically. What kind of queation was that?
"What do you mean why?"
"Well, since its... er... not really cold outside and you don't really need clothes to protect you against something. Why do you wear them?"
"Well, it's..." Azuri started, but her mouth stood open, as not a single word came after. "Why do we wear clothes?" The young attendant passed the question toward the older.
Only for Myuri to simply smiled. "To tell you the truth, even I don't know why we wear clothes. But without something to cover my body, I always feel a little uncomfortable. So you coyld say we just like to hve something covering our bodies. Plus, in the loght season, it gets a little cold, so its always better to wear clothes then."
Alexander found it a bit weird that they would wear clothes just because they felt like it, but maybe the true reason could attributed to some sort of human instinct. Or maybe there is another reason he did not and could think of. After all, a new world does equal new possibilities. Some of Which, even he could not imagine.
Plus, he wasn't exactly sure why he wanted to wear clothes either. Such a thought, could have been attributed by the society where walking around indecently was literally illegal. So in a way, the two worlds aren't too diffetent.
'Only the women in this world are less private of their bodies. Maybe this was becaue of the lack of men around. If everyone is a sister and has the same parts, why should they care who sees it?"
With that thought concluded Alexander then looked at Myuri.
"Then what is this?"
Alexander pointed at the blue ring on his neck.
...
"That? Well that is a powerstone."
"Powerstone? Why are there so many of you who wear it? Even you and Azuri are wearing a few on your bodies."
"Well it's because powerstones give us power. The closer they are to our bodies, the easier we can use them when necessary."
"Power? How exactly?"
Azuri looked at Alexander. A sigh left her lips as she said " You really have forgotten everything haven't you? back then you used to love hearing about my gift and the use of powerstones."
"Powerstones give us power by enhancing our gifts temporarily. Take me for instance, when I use my power normally, I am able to calm down one person with a lot of effort. But if I use a single powerstone, I can do that very easily. If I use more powerstones, the power of my gift will get even stronger. For instance, I can make make more than one person calm dowm at the same time. Of course, that was when I was younger. Now even if used more than ten powerstones, I can't calm even more than two people at the same time."
Alexabdwr was amazed.
"Then how was it able to change like that. Healer Heena was able to make the ring open up but close later on."
Alexander was a bit confused at this, even when he tried pulling the stone, he did not feel it budge.
"Well, that is how powerstones work." Myuri then showed Alexander one of her powerstones braceles. "Chief, how many powerstones do you think are on this bracelet?"
Alexander looked at the clearly singular ring. He knew that his was not the correct answer but he still said, "one?"
Myuri seemed to enjoy teaching him, as she said with a smile, "No, there is a total of six powerstones. But each powerstones had the ability to fuse with all other powerstones. Look."
Myuri too off her bracelet and put it on her palm. Then, both her hand and the bracket suddenly lit up slightly. Alexander leaned in close and saw the perfectly ring shaped bracelet turn into six marble sized blue stones.
"We can use our gifts to transform powerstones however we want. But it mainly depend on how great you control over is. In this size powerstones are in their purest form. Because of this, they can't be divided further in any way. But we can still shape them."
Myuri then changed one of the stones and turned it into a ring. She the lifted Alexander's hand slipped the ring on his finger.
"..."
"You see." Myuri then turned the left over powerstones into the usual bracelet. Notably, the formed bracelet was a little bit thinner than it was originally.
Alexander though, did not put much attention on the bracelet. He instead looked at the ring on his hand.
'Did i just get proposed to?'
Of course this was not what truly happened, as from how nonchalant Myuri was treating him, what she jut did did not seem at all important to her. So it was surely not a proposal. Alexander was only shocked at Seeing a woman give give him a ring. As in his past world, giving and even helping someone wear a ring directly points to marriage.
But this was a different world, so surely not.
"Thank you Myuri."
"You are welcome my chief."
And before the three knew it, they had already reached their destination. Back at the giant tree they returned. And this time, since Azuri wasn't rushing, he finally fit the chance to properly see its fully beauty.
...
less than an hour later, The sun had set and Alexander was in the tree like before. Only this time he was all alone. Both Myuri and Azuri had left to do some chores. As the chief, Myuri said that Alexander could not do these thing on his own.
So Alexander was this left alone. But it was not too bad, as he had the time properly look at some of the interesting things in the tree.
One of the was white lantern he had seen previously. On closer inspection, it turned out that the lantern was actually made of thin and white plastic. But that's not truly the interesting part. what amazed Alexander was what produced the light. It was actually a powerstones dipped inside some sort of liquid. For some reason, the liquid glowed in bluish white light.
At that moment while he was still gazing at the lantern, the cloth covering the door was opened.
Myuri came through holding small basket of fruits.
...
next chapter will have some light +18 elements
