Chapter 3 New Management

>>I am sorry it took some time, I had to stuff to do.  Thanks to everyone for the help in making new gods. You guys were really helpful.

I've also made an outline of the story. I've read somewhere that to write a good FF, you need to plan the plot first. I've already written down the direction my story will and I think the stuff will at least last for 4-5 chapter. So you guys don't have to worry about anymore delays. I'll try to upload daily unless something comes up again.<<

When I finally came upon Rua and Taiyo, they were in the middle of an argument. Rua was obviously angered at something that Taiyo did. Taiyo was trying his best to explain himself but Rua wasn't giving him any opening to do so. As soon as they felt my presence, they immediately went quiet.

[What is the cause of this argument?]

-My lord,  Taiyo has- -

-Allow me to explain Lord- -

They both began to explain themselves at the same time. Apparently, Rua and Taiyo were doing well until just a few moment ago when Taiyo told Rua that a sun was going to die somewhere. The problem was that Rua had just finish that part of the galaxy and the death of this particular sun would spell the end of that part of the universe. Rua told Taiyo to keep the sun from dying which he tried to but he was unable to prevent it from happening.That would require too much from him. He could only prolong the sun's existence.

The death of the sun came before Rua could do anything to save her work. That was why she was so upset. I also learned that Rua was very excited to show her work to me. It seemed that she had outdone herself to please me.  Taiyo was also dismayed that he could not do anything to help his sister.

I glanced at the blackhole that had cause the problem. This mass of energy had eaten a whole section of the universe. I took it in my grasp and began to mold it to my will. It took quite a while since it was so...resistant. It wasn't difficult, I could have easily done it with just a fraction of my power but the material was more stubborn than what I was used to. The best way to explain it would be like trying to give shape to water. the material just wouldn't listen to me.

[I welcome you, Noir, God of Void, to the universe that I have created. I am Mouse your creator and these are your siblings Rua and Taiyo.]

I said as I watched my newly made creation come to life.

-...-

Noir was silent as he slowly took in everything around him. His gaze sweeping around him before finally resting upon me.  He gave a bow to me and then to his siblings.

-My lord, I am ready to serve.-

[You shall assist Rua and Taiyo in managing the universe.] I looked over to Rua,

[With Noir at hand, you need no longer fear the death of stars. He cannot prevent it's death for that is inevitable but he will be able to handle the consequences of its death. The blackholes are shall no longer trouble you.]

-I thank you my lord. We shall resume our duties with haste.- Rua replied, while watching Noir closely. Taiyo was silent all the while.

I was a bit worried by him. Taiyo is an honest guy and I could always tell what he is thinking. With his mind-speech he always showed more of himself than the other Gods. He was like an open book. And now I could feel his disappointment.

[Taiyo, come to me. We have something to discuss.] I said and motioned for the two other to go on their way.

-Lord?-

[Taiyo, I can feel your disappointment. Tell me what is troubling you so.]

Taiyo looked surprised that I knew what he was thinking. His astonished face was funny that I almost laughed.

-H..How?........Of course...... You are the Lord. Your powers are limitless.- Taiyo was silent for a moment. I felt his discomfort and waited until he was ready to speak.

-I am just disappointed in myself. I had wanted so much to be of use to you but when the moment came I was powerless. How can I be a god if I am unable to handle even something like this?-

[Taiyo, know this. There are somethings that even gods are unable to do. To create this universe I had to lay down some fundamental Laws that cannot be broken. These laws are bound to all, even I. Should these laws be broken the universe will collapse. The blackhole that come to be cannot be changed because it was 'free'. I had not given anyone dominance over it. Your powers are great but it held no meaning with no dominance. I shall bestow this knowledge upon you so that you may be assured that in no way was this your fault.]

I left Taiyo after I said those words. I had revealed powerful knowledge to him.  Of course I was going to share all that information after I'm done anyway, but I hope that he gets that it really wasn't his fault.

----------------------------------------

After a final checkup of the universe, I went back to Tera. I stood on the cliff where I had started life. The garden of flowers that I had grown for Tia was still there. I think Tia called it 'The garden of life' or something like that.  

I saw that Tia and Arbores had been keeping busy while I was away and the plants had grown splendidly. Forests , swamps, plains and deserts all teaming with life. They were an abundance of them all over the place. I smiled a little, thinking that this planet is going to be able to provide me with a lot of entertainment in the future.

I met the 4 Elemental Gods and it seemed that they were bored. According to them The elements needed little monitoring and they had just been playing around all the time. I knew what they meant. I had seen signs of tsunamis, earthquakes, forest fires, and storms all over the world. Apparently boredom affects them like it does me. I felt a little grin coming over me as I truly felt one of the few joys of fatherhood, the time you realized that your kids are just like you.

[Didn't Tia and Arbores scold you for doing that?]

The four of them got guilty looks when I ask them.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

-but we were bored. We asked Tia and Arbores to play with us but Tia just bosses us around so we don't play with her anymore and Arbores likes to play alone.- Ignis said while looking at the other elements.The others began nodding when he finished.

So to keep them happy I made a new stuff for them to play with, magic. It was a form of energy that would work in conjunction with the life thread that I had thrown over Tera. And since this was a new type of element I also made for them a new sister, Mana, Goddess of Magic.

I made Mana using a bits of the 4 elements and combined them with some of my power. Mana was almost identical to the other elemental gods so I guess they were now a set of five. It felt like cheating a bit since I was just being lazy with the design but I don't care. And the 5 element didn't seem to mind.

-Thanks for creating me, lord.I will try to live up to your expectation.- Mana said and before being dragged of by her 4 siblings. They were all trying to introduce themselves at the sametime.

With the addition of their youngest sibling Mana the elements seem to be a lot more cheerful. I guess having a little sister does that huh. Mana is sure going to be pampered by the whole lot. I could sort of see them following her every whim.

I didn't even get a chance to tell them about why Mana was so special. I mean I made her so that they won't get bored again after all.  I guess it's not such a big deal since Mana already know how to use her powers so it won't be much longer till they do too.

I then proceeded meet Tia and Arbores.  I found Tia in a  forest where she had been working on some new form of life. She jumped in joy when she saw me.

-Daaad, I've been waiting for you. Look, Look at the things that I've made aren't they wonderful?-

[You did a great job Tia. I am proud of you] I said giving her pat on her back.

-Arbores is here too. He made this forest grow up in just a week after Ignis's fire destroyed it last time- Tia said and looking quite crossed.

[Well you don't have to worry about them anymore. They were just bored, I made them a new sister and she should keep them busy for a while.] I said, trying to cheer her up.

-He..hello Fa.. father.- I heard Arbores call out from behind me.

[Oh, hello there Arbores.]  That was the first time anyone aside from Tia called me father. It seemed that Tia had begun to rub of on them. She might be trying to get them all to call me dad now. It's always nice to be called dad/father by my creations. I'll have to make sure that they don't realize this or they use it against me. They'll ask for weird stuff and I can't say no. It's bad enough when Tia does it. Like how she asked me to help her make the 4 Guardian Race. Well, that's a story for another time.

I wonder why all the Tera Gods are more playful. I just can't picture Rua, Taiyo, even Noir playing around like this. Maybe it is because of the mood I was in when I made them. I was already imagining playing around in Tera when I made them.

-fa..father? ....L..Lord, I am sorry for being too familiar with you.- Arbores said in a quivering voice. It seem that I was lost in thought for too long.

[No, my son. I was just lost in thought. It was no fault of yours. I am pleased to be called father by you.] I felt a warm gaze falling on me and saw Tia looking pleased with herself. Seems like she had planned on this.

[Now I want you to tell me of your work on Tera. Did you have any problems?]

Tia was first to report to me. She was doing great. She just wanted some help with maintaining order on the planet. With The 4 elemental Gods playing every so often the life that she made was in danger of dying a lot. Arbores was content and said that there were no problem on his side of things. The trees grow back so he had no problem with the 4 elemental gods. Even Ignis's forest fire was no problem since it left a land that was more fertile for him to sow his seeds.

Well considering what Tia had said I guess I'll have to create a god of order then and with order comes chaos. Huh, this is troublesome. She'll be working under Rua then. Hm....I guess now is as good a time as any to teach them since I was about to start my nap too.

After finishing my check-up on all the Gods, I went back to the cliff of creation. ugh.. that name sounded really bad. So anyway, I needed someplace symbolic. A place of power. The cliff was the ideal choice. I then went on to create building out of pure marble that would shine a dazzling white under the sun. I made a giant round table surrounded by 11 chairs.

After I finishing my work I went inside and sat on one of the chairs. I sent out a telepathic message to all my Gods to gather. Ten blinding flashes of light appeared around me. I motion for them to sit. Tia made her way to beside me. Rua was already there and sat on my right side. Tia made a face and sat on my left. Beside Tia sat Arbores. Taiyo sat beside Rua followed by Noir. The four five Elemental Gods sat across from me.

I made a motion for them to be silent. After a moment of silence and I knew that I had their attention I began,

[I have gathered you all today because I have seen your progress and you have satisfied me.  I am proud of each of you. So much so that I think that all you will be able to handle this universe without my help anymore. This meeting is to declare that the universe is under new management.]

>> I can't believe how long this took to write. Took me almost a 6 hours to write this. And that's without taking into account my break time.  6 hour of pure writing. I am amazed at how other writers could do this everyday. To all Authors out there, you have my utmost regard. I salute you. <<
