## [source]

**Mountainsea** is the princess of the totem barbarians of Klandor. She is strongly attracted to Richards scent since the first time they met in Deepblue. Later in the story, it is revealed that this scent is tied to their intwined destiny.

A princess born of a failed invader and the saintess of the Azuresnow Shrine, destined to carry the avatar of the Beast God.

Fused with Broodmother [9;60]

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

She appeared to be well-proportioned and thin, and although her slightly tanned skin was not exquisite it seemed to be glowing. Her waist-length hair was nearly black, draping loosely over her shoulders in seven or eight little plaits with bones, pearls, beast teeth and all sorts of other accessories holding up the ends.

This was a more physical beauty, mixed with a primordial desolation and aggression that was difficult to put into words. The two white lines drawn on the left side of her face radiated an unforgettable barbaric aura, like boundless old plains and hills.

Even a commoner would be able to sense the sheer power held within, and it caused the faces of those who were truly powerful to warp. They could tell it was no simple adornment, but they could not discern whether it was a rune or one of the saint totems spread in the wilder parts of the continent. Whatever it was, the girl was no ordinary person.

### **Clothing**

Her robes indicated that she was a martial artist, styled strangely with all sorts of wild bestial patterns. Her clothing was only strange, not specifically luxurious in terms of materials or accessories, but her very presence managed to gather the attention of everyone in the room in a moment, as if she was a true king amongst beasts.

### **8 years later**

Hair hanging off her shoulders with a loose dress on, it was almost impossible to tell this beautiful woman was the same mischievous girl he knew. All of her decorations and totems had disappeared with her braids, and the only thing linking her to the person he knew was the powerful carefree aura. 6;64

Mountainsea’s equipment didn’t look like it would add up to even ten gold. The barbarian girl’s attire was enchanted, but it was only for resistance to dirt and wear. When Richard had first seen her, just the worth of the jewels she wore was more than even most legendary beings, able to leave even Sharon breathless, but now she looked almost no different from a poor adventurer.

## Levels

 Warrior Lvl 12

Level 10 by Norland standards? I know, I don’t actually train my internal energy. Normally I just used the power of my totems, most of my time is spent sleeping in Zykrama. One day sleeping there is equal to half a month’s practice from a normal warrior. If she had her totems, she had the imposing power of a sky saint to a legend.

If she could gain strength just from sleeping, she was nearly the same as an ancient dragon. As the princess of Klandor, Mountainsea was protected by the Beast God itself. The divine power flowing in her blood allowed her to sleep within Zykrama for extended periods of time, and the energies in the peak slowly strengthened and refined her body with no end. In theory, she would eventually have a body rivalling a god’s if she just slept there endlessly.6;64

While her energy levels weren’t worth mentioning, her body was frighteningly powerful.

### **Reaper War**

Mountainsea normally spent most of her time asleep or very close to it, acting upon instinct even in battle, but now her sharp gaze showed that she was fully awake. Her level hadn’t been exceptional before, but that swing just now showed legendary might! This was just like Sharon, who had jumped all the way from level 24 to level 29 just through a few years of hibernation. For someone who could never slack off like Richard, it was almost as annoying as it was awe-inspiring.

That being said, Richard was not the most depressed of the lot. After all, he was still one of the youngest epic beings in Norlandic history. It was the seasoned legends who had slogged their entire lives to get to level 21 that would feel like ending their lives at this disparity. Would she become an epic being if she just slept for a few more years? It felt like a distinct possibility given the strength of the Beast God’s bloodline. After all, why else would the Eternal Dragon have been interested enough in a single tooth to offer a rank 2 blessing for it?

## Plot

### **Sacred Ceremony**

Mountainsea was oblivious to what was happening during the tournament. But Richard was on the verge after fighting many barbarian elites as well as the final opponent from the Sacred Tree Empire, Uriel.

Richard won the sacred ceremony for Mountainsea's virginity, a great upset that shook the continent. As a result, the council of elders decided to let Mountainsea leave with him on the basis that this would give them a semblance of dignity left.

### **Adventuring with Richard**

After leaving Klandor with Richard, she had settled into her role as his follower. Albeit it without her totems and items.

She hadn’t asked for anything ever since she arrived in Norland, seemingly happy so long as she could stay by Richard’s side. He had given her hundreds of thousands of gold, but all she had picked up with it was a rod of lafite that was enchanted for sturdiness. Even including the materials, she had only given the mage who enchanted it ten gold. In a strangely competitive way, she had named the staff Eleventon. 6;86

Mountainsea was sleeping at a window all day every day, basking in the light of the sun and stars. There were occasions where she even forgot to eat for many days at a time, but the floating island never forgot her presence.

### **Scent of Destiny**

The girl looked up at the mysterious paladin Nasia whom she had never really liked, finding a sense of security for the first time ever. Leaning over, she took a whiff, “I like your smell.”

“My… smell, huh… You can smell the scent of destiny?” The barbarian girl grew serious, but a smile slowly appeared on her face, “Your smell is nice, so… Yes, I can smell destiny. I got it from the Beast God.”

“An interesting ability. Does it have any restrictions?”

“Mm. I can only smell fates that are related to me.”

“Still, not bad at all. Seems like the other descendants of the Beast God are destined for death.”

Nasia continued, “You’re gifted, and your mere presence will ensure that destiny abandons the other descendants of the Beast God. They will meet with various obstacles until one eventually removes them from existence.”

I have only seen this happen before in the past; when someone with a powerful destiny appears in an ancient bloodline, the other descendants of that bloodline go extinct.

### **Reminiscing**

Nasia looked at the flustered princess and asked, “Did you like Richard because of his scent, too?”

“Oh? Mmm…” Mountainsea smiled as she recalled the past, “Yeah, he had a really nice scent. Of everyone I met in Norland, he was the one that didn’t seem to care about my money at all.”

The young girl than started describing her childhood in detail, with Nasia listening patiently as she talked about events in the Deepblue. The problems of that time were minute given her current perspective, but she seemed to be able to remember the tiniest of details when it came to Richard.

“I heard he came searching for you in Klandor?” Nasia eventually asked.

Mountainsea fell silent for a moment before replying softly, “Yes, but I regret it now.”

“Why? Didn’t he bring you away successfully?”

The barbarian girl looked forward, staring at an unknown spot in the distance, “It changed our destinies. I don’t know how, but when I gave up on my totems and came to Norland, I realised I was useless to him. I had no power, no money, and I didn’t know how to do anything to help.”

“And so you slept. Slept hard, hoping you could awaken your bloodline quickly.”

“Mm. Thankfully, I seem to have made it just in time.”

## Items

* Eleventon
* Bracer

Due to her equipment which has been tempered with one of the toughest material, lafite, Mountainsea was even heavier than the six meter tall Tiramisu. With Eleventon and her special vambrace her weight exceeded even his

## **Quotes**

* Then we’ll just tear the woods apart. The forest can’t have a will if it doesn’t exist.

## **Trivia**

* The last time he stepped into Klandor, Richard had been a weakling. Now, he was a grand mage who had spent years tempering himself in the Land of Dusk. Of course, the enemies he met this time would be entirely different as well. Most of those he had encountered previously had refrained from killing him for Mountainsea’s sake, but now that she was calling for him there would be no such luck anymore.
* All of Klandor’s wealth had been concentrated in only a handful of people's hands, as well as Mountainsea’s, which was a tradition of the barbarians that nobody would even think of refuting before. Now, doubt had been sown amongst the ranks. 5;61
