On another note this is the first .5 so a brief explenation is an order. .5 chapters will usually be plot relevant and will always be from the PoV of someone other than our little MC. They probably wont show up super often but will pop up here and there. Anyways possibly another double release tommorow...depends.

A certain goddess's PoV

“I think I delivered that last line rather well if I do say so myself,” I say expressing my satisfaction.

Now all I have to do is wait, she may be my chosen, but if I meddle too much she won't grow. For now, I need her to experience the depravity the four races will fall to in their need for change. 

Though I guess if she can't escape, then a bit of meddling may be in order. It would not be a very balanced choice if she only ever gets to see the darkness in the four races.

“Well, we were all starting to wonder when the ever so powerful Goddess of Balance and Change would ever select her first chosen,” an irritatingly familiar female voice interrupts my thoughts.

Turning to greet my guest I try to speak in as bored a tone as I can possibly muster, “Naofa everyone's favorite Goddess of Life and Death.”

“Come now, contain your enthusiasm and let's get to the matter at hand,” Naofa calmly states not caring that I am clearly displeased at her presence.

Knowing Naofa she isn’t one to give up on this with just me saying don`t wanna. I guess just telling Naofa about her is a possibility, but that would be so embarrasing. The other gods and goddesses might not think much about assigning a new chosen. Each of them have hundreds or even thousands of chosen. Then again, most of them only give their chosen a special magic, skill, or change their body in some way. To me however my chosen is special because she is-.

“Just exactly how long are you going to quietly fidget there completely beet red? I mean it’s just choosing a chosen. Which is exactly why I want to know why you went to Fate and forced him to show you your chosens appearance at every stage of their life. Now why would you go through so much effort for a simple chosen?” with a sudden barrage of questions Naofa disturbs my thoughts.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Ah, if Naofa knows Fate is involved she really isn’t going to give up before I tell her something. Why does Naofa need to know anything about her anyways? No matter how I look at it who I pick as a chosen has nothing to do with any of the other gods and goddesses. Well ok, in this case maybe it does, but they do not need to know that yet.

Since I have been ignoring her Naofa has been steadily losing patience before finally stating, “You know if you are not going to tell me I will just have to go down and observe the mortal directly.”

Panicking a little at Naofa’s statement I shout, “No! You can’t do that!”

Ah, I screwed up, while Naofa’s outward expression may not have changed it's easy to tell she is rather pleased with herself when she asks, “Oh and why can’t I? I mean wouldn’t it be easy for me to infiltrate your follower's organization to get closer to your chosen? I am like you, a goddess, after all. While none of us are as powerful as you I do not think that even the weakest among us would have any trouble changing a few memories to get our way. Or is there maybe another reason why I can’t?”

I can see that there is no choice, but to talk about this at least a little, spitting out a sigh I start to explain, “No it is not that you physically can't. I am asking you not to. She will have an important choice to make in the future and meeting any of us too early could very easily upset the balance. You can watch if you want, but no contacting her unless I say it is alright to. Also if you would be so kind as to pass that statement on to the others? It would be very much appreciated.”

After eyeing me for a while Naofa finally turns to leave while saying, “Fine, fine, I will drop the subject for now and I will even pass your message on the others. From now on though your chosen is going to have a lot of eyes on her and not all of them are going to be as understanding as I am.”

After confirming Naofa is gone I set myself to work once again while mumbling under my breath, “So much to do but in the end it is well worth it. Will the end result be unity or destruction? Maybe it will end with something I didn’t predict at all. In the end little Kitten, only you can determine your own fate.”
