chapter 03: Are you new too this place

The old woman approached Seraphina with a kind smile, "You seem a bit lost, dear. Your attire is unlike what we usually see around here. Are you new to this city?" Her words carried a soothing tone, inviting Seraphina to share her story amidst the earthly uncertainties,her eyes harboring a warmth that momentarily thawed the celestial chill around Seraphina. The goddess, wrestling with earthly perplexes.

Caught off guard by the genuine concern in the old woman's eyes, Seraphina eased her celestial guard slightly. "New, you could say," she replied cautiously, "from a place far beyond the horizons of your mortal world." The old woman's gentle demeanor began to soften the celestial edge within Seraphina, sparking a flicker of curiosity in mind the old woman confused 'what she is talking about?' not knowing her real identity.

The old woman, though not fully grasping Seraphina's celestial origin, extended a warm invitation. "If you're looking for a place to stay, dear, you're welcome in our home until you find your way around. I have a grandchild who's always wished for an elder sister to play with," she offered, her wrinkled face adorned with a welcoming smile that hinted at the earthly bonds of family and kinship. The celestial goddess, caught between realms, felt a flicker of gratitude for this unexpected kindness in the midst of her celestial sojourn on Earth.

Seraphina, still guarded but touched by the old woman's sincerity, considered the offer. The notion of an earthly abode, even temporary, seemed both foreign and comforting. "Thank you," she replied with a soft nod, "I may take you up on that offer. Your grandchild, a playmate in this unfamiliar world, might be a solace in the earthly maze that now surrounds me." With a hesitant but genuine smile, she followed the old woman, stepping into the embrace of an earthly dwelling and the warmth of a potential connection in this new chapter of her celestial journey.

"Elderly Guide, I will surely repay you," said Seraphina with her beautiful voice, expressing gratitude for the offered shelter and guidance.

The old woman chuckled warmly, "Haha, what a weird way of addressing. You can just call me 'Nana' like everyone else around here." She extended an earthly invitation for familiarity, breaking through the celestial formality, and Seraphina, embracing the warmth, nodded with a smile, "Nana it is then."

Seraphina, while being led by Nana, couldn't help but wonder at the warmth she received. She muttered to herself, "Humans are indeed weird," acknowledging the peculiarities of earthly interactions that stirred both confusion and curiosity within her celestial perspective.
