Atticus dropped the water out of shock seeing his son run up to him perfectly fine, bending down to take a closer look.

Atticus- "Are you Okay? But how?" he asked giving him a once over.

The boy grinned pushing his father inspecting hands away- "Yes, I'm fine dad, it's thanks to the goddess, she placed her hands on my hurt leg and then this bright light came out and made me feel all warm and then I was better!" he finished excitedly as he ran back to Sigyn to thanking her again.

Sigyn giggled as she rubbed his head while avoiding Theoric's eyes in case he didn't approve of her meddling.

Theoric could only wryly grin at having his wife take the initiative to help, he was planning on healing the boy later after talking a bit more and then putting it up as an offer to get the man to step up as village leader, but seeing how grateful he looked this probably wasn't a problem.

Theoric felt like he's become a bit too skeptical of people because of his recent revelations.

Atticus with slightly watering eyes went over and bowed to Sigyn choosing to believe his son, for the proof was undeniable, even if he didn't see it himself. - "Thank you for healing my son, if there is ever anything I can do just name it."

The kid who was still looking at Sigyn with sparkling eyes then looked to Theoric running around him asking- "Hey if she's a goddess, aren't you a god? What amazing things can you do?"

Atticus waking up from the question look to Theoric with expectation as well.

Theoric wryly grinned again while looking to Sigyn who also wondered what he was going to do now only to look away when their eyes met, feeling guilty.

She then spoke up to explain hoping to ease any grief Theoric might be feeling towards her,- "We are not Gods, but we did receive blessings from one, I guess you could say."

To her disappointment though when she looked at Theoric, she saw his face turn stoic as he listened to her explanation.

Atticus as if understanding spoke- "Ah so you've been blessed, so you're chosen by the gods, as their high priests in the capitals or like their champions, so which gods have chosen you?"

Sigyn feeling like she would only dig a deeper hole for herself kept quiet as she made her way to hide behind Theoric to avoid his gaze and anymore mistakes she might make.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Theoric wasn't mad though, only caught off-guard by her actions, he was only staying quiet trying to think of what to do with the things she's done.

Hearing Atticus talk about gods like they were a real thing suddenly reminded him about the Olympians which must still be around on earth at this time. The gears rolling around in his head made the place an awkward silence.

Theoric noticing his mistake answered the man- "Yes we were chosen in a way, it would be great if you don't tell anyone about that."

He then felt his arm being tugged by the boy who was still excited- "Mister God, Mister God, what can you do?" he asked completely ignoring what Theoric just said.

Atticus seeing his rambunctious son apologized as he pulled him away- "Titus, don't do that, get over here and leave them alone, we must treat our benefactors with all due respect."

Theoric seeing the boy feeling down at being reprimanded, laughed- "It's alright, so your names Titus is it, well Titus, I can do this." he said holding his hand out making a round ball out of energy, but he controlled it so it wouldn't be too stiff, giving it some elasticity, as he tested it out by dropping it on the ground, only for it to bounce back up.

Titus was thoroughly pleased with seeing the magic trick,- "Cool! You can make things out of thin air, that's so awesome."

Theoric grinned,- "Here, it won't last forever but you can go play with it for a bit in your room while I talk to your dad." he said tossing it over to Titus who just managed to catch it.

Titus happily exclaimed- "Awsome, thank you mister god."

Atticus who saw something first hand how that no normal person could do told Titus to go play in his room.

Theoric waited until he heard the ball bouncing in the other room- "Well Mr. Atticus, this turned out differently then I expected, I'll repeat myself, don't go spreading what you've seen, please find time to explain that to the boy in a way that he understands."

Atticus full of respect now vigorously agreed- "Yes, yes sir, I will do as you say, you have nothing to worry about, I'll make sure the boy understands."

Theoric- "Now for why we first came, I wanted to get a feel for what kind of person you were after hearing how everyone respected you and was hoping that you would take over as leader of this village after I remove the scourge that plagues it."

Atticus furrowed his brows,- "I don't have a problem doing this, after all, you did heal my boy and I don't particularly have anything against it, but what exactly are you planning?"

Theoric glad to see Atticus could still think for himself after realizing they might be chosen of the gods replied,- "There is no major plan, just that we decided to settle here and don't wish for any unsavory people to also be nearby."

Atticus- "Alright then, how exactly do you plan on dealing with Caelus's organization?"

Theoric- "This you don't have to worry about, just stay safely here with your boy until you hear the good news."

Sometime later they left the home with Sigyn remaining dramatically quiet.

Theoric snickered to himself seeing Sigyn look all nervous as she walked by his side staring as hard as she could forward. He extended his finger and poke her cheek causing her to jump.

Sigyn seeing Theoric enjoying her torment pouted with puffed up cheeks,- "You're bullying me!"

Theoric laughed- "Haha, Sigyn why do you look so nervous."

Sigyn sadly looked down, softly saying- "Because I went against your wishes and thought you might be angry."

Theoric - "I didn't even know you can do that." Thinking back to her change in the forest, planning on investigating it in the near future to see if she had any more surprises in store for him.

Sigyn still looking down- "I just didn't want the boy to suffer, and then it just happened."

Theoric hugged her while chuckling- "Anyone ever tell you, you can be really silly sometimes, I could never be mad at my Sigyn."

Sigyn looked up- "Really?"

Theoric pecked her lips- "Really!"

Sigyn giggled happily as they walked away holding hands.

Only to give him a strong pinch a little later with her other hand, catching him off-guard causing him to let out an involuntary yelp. "That's for letting that poor boy suffer longer than necessary," dropping his hand with a "humph." and walking away.

Leaving Theoric standing there in shock,- "Did she just play me? Hey Sigyn, wait up, where are you even going by yourself?" he quickly chased her with a grin on his face, enjoying this new playful side, though he could do without the pinching, but he didn't fault her because he did deserve it.
