As we moved across the valleys, we finally reached Hel’s castle, being allowed inside by giant Titan Skeletons, who opened the gates for us with loud roars.
“A-Aren’t those Titans?” I wondered.
“Yeah.” she said.
“You’ll probably die before that,” Hel sighed. “It’s not something that can be trained by someone clearly inferior to me either! You’re too weak to even dare help me train, Maria!”
“Ahahaha! I guess so?” I giggled. “Hmm, well! And what about your siblings? What do they embody if you embody Death and the Underworld?”
“What?! Again with your nonsense!” Hel said angrily. “I’m not letting them go to other worlds, that is way too dangerous!”
I see, she’s the overprotective sister type, huh? Noted.
“O-Okay, calm down, auntie! It was just a suggestion,” I sighed. “Anyways, what Undead are you giving me? Is it a big titan skeleton too? Or perhaps a huge zombie with many arms? Or a specter of some sort? Wait, a dragon specter! I bet you got one of those!”
“Huh?” I muttered. “A-And who might this person be?”
“They’re there,” said Hel, opening the gate with her skeleton throne’s giant claws.
“Hey! Are you new around here? Come eat with me!”
“A mushroom?!”
It was like a small child, I couldn’t tell if male or female, composed of black, gray, purple, and dark blue mushroom of all kinds.
It had a cute little face with rectangular, black eyes, and a huge black, purple, and red colored cap over their head.
“Hey! I am not a mushroom!” the creature said. “I-I am a proud warrior of Hel-sama’s troops! A powerful being never seen before born from the rotten bones and flesh of Ymir! And I shall one day bring glory to-”
“Enough with introductions, Myconidas, you’re going with Maria, she’s my Saintess,” said Hel, patting their cap. “The big adventure you always wished for is upon you now.”
“E-Eeeh?! Hel-sama is kicking me out?! Nooooo!”

Myconidas.
First, they were made out of mushrooms, yeah.
Second, I could tell they had a powerful, very powerful Divine Ember!
However, somehow, they had no idea how to use their powers and were absolutely not developing any since their conception.
And also they’re quite cocky, and baby-like, despite being thousands of years old.
“Nooooo! Hel-sama! Don’t leave me behind! Don’t kick me out! Buuaaaah! I promise I’ll get better and stronger!”
They started begging Hel as they grabbed her dress and began weeping over her, leaving her completely covered in a slimy-like mucus made out of a bunch of spores.
