Chapter 12
The World of the Gods is not in the clouds, like so many mortals think, instead it is in the highest parallel world, the one where power and resources are so abundant, that even a few million years of human exploitation wouldn’t change the overall look of the terrain too much.
In this world the gods live easy going lives, in small houses in the forest, the mountains or under the earth surface, depending on what kind of god they are.
There are even a few communities of god's, living all together and enjoying their ‘existence’.
A little bit outside of such an community the house of a god and a goddess stands, they have 6 children, and a few chickens.
Unlike most people believe, a goddess does not have to become pregnant or something like that, she simply enjoys the pleasure of her partner, and then gives the power of their act into a plant. This plant grows a few years and the parents have to be carefully guarding the plant or the power will die with the plant.
Once the plant is big enough, it grows one and only one big flower, that has to get a daily amount of power from it’s parents. When it got enough power, the flower slowly forms a sphere, that looks like a big apple. Then it grows and grows, until one day it begins to crack, and then a new god/goddess will be born.
A being called god is not almighty, nor is it invincible, it has more power than a mortal, but can not be killed. If it exists, then it exists. On another note, there are mostly multiple gods on one topic, for example there is no ‘god of war’, there are multiple gods, that have knowledge in the art of war, some more some less.
The family that lives outside has already six children, 3 boys and 3 girls, they lived happily together and had many friends in the nearby village. The children were as followed:
-the God of advancing
-the Goddess of the forbidden things
-the God of construction
-the Goddess of the beautiful things
-the God of production
-the Goddess of the mystical things
As you might have noticed, they do not have names, they are called with the name of their power.
When the child is born out of the plant, the plant grows much stronger, and gets a big power boost. Because of that there were 6 big plants with delicious fruits hanging down on them in front of the house, one for each child.
But there was another plant growing, in the back of the house, this plant wasn’t sawn there, it simply grew there, while absorbing the power of the inhabitants of the house.
The God and the Goddess knew about that plant, but what should they do? It has to be made from their power, or else it wouldn’t grow near the house.
So they cared for the plant like they did for the others, they gave it more power to grow.
Then after a few years, their other children were all adults by that time, the plant grew a sphere, not as big as from their children before, but enough to give the new forming existence a place to grow.
A few years later, it finally began to crack…
-POV stupid Goddess-
The time I got to see the outside first, was really shocking, everywhere were lightnings going down, I was so shocked I began to cry at the moment. Then a person took me in their arms, and together with another person she brought me into some sort of hut.
There, they placed me on some cold plate, why how can you be so cruel? I cried…
The woman took me into her arms and fed me some warm things from her body, it’s really tasty. I had to stop crying to enjoy the taste...
A few weeks later, I am currently laying on some sheets and observe the person who took me out of the plant, she’s my mother and currently cooking. I don’t know why she would be doing this, the milk she gives me should be much better than these things…
The door opens and one of my sisters comes in, they live somewhere else, I don’t know where, but they often come and play with me. I really like playing…
After her comes one of my brothers, they also live somewhere else, and always do something, always work, work and more work, they have not much time, but try to give me as much attention as possible, I really am someone special…
As I grow up over my first months, I learn more about our house, actually I know every corner. But I’m too scared to leave, who knows when the next thunder will come. I remain in the house, it’s much safer in here. And there should always be someone who guard it, because there are some scary monsters outside. They have white or brown feathers and two legs, they are really fast and sometimes try to invade the house, luckily my siblings and parents always push their forces back, but who knows what they will do when getting past our defense…
One thing is illogical though, whenever my siblings leave the house the monsters don’t attack them, instead they try to get inside.Maybe they want to get me first...
I have to protect the house, and me crawling away when they come in is simply to hide myself and help my siblings with a surprise attack, when they get near defeat. I’m NOT scared of them!!!
I can feel some kind of power in the air, I don’t know what it is, but I try my best to catch it. Not easy when your only possibility to move is crawling…
-A few months later-
Today was the first time I was able to catch this energy, but it escaped after a few seconds, and my mother somehow knew what I did, I am pretty good, right?
Or maybe not, because she somehow made this ability to feel the energy go away, this evening I cried myself into sleep…
At the next morning, my sisters comes by and they brought some awesome things for me. Mainly sweets, I love sweets, so I eat a lot of sweets and the bad memory is quickly forgotten.
-Some Years later-
I am currently going through our garden, picking up some things for lunch, I have become quite a beauty, and these ‘monsters’ outside are not scary anymore, actually they simply work for us, and sometimes try to get in our house to snatch away something to eat…
My mother told me that today would be the day were I would be getting my ‘magic power’, I think she means this energy, but how does she know that I will get it today?
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
After lunch, she and dad brought me in front of the house, and she told me that she will lift the seal now. What kind of seal? I don’t know…
She stands in front of me, and then her hands emit some kind of light, at that moment the sense to feel the power in the air comes back to me. So they have actually sealed my powers, because it could harm the newborns to experiment with these kind of things…
My sense of this power is far greater now, so I try to get the the most dense area, where the most of this energy is. I found it, in our kitchen, don’t ask me why, but it’s there…
I sit inside of this ‘cloud’ of energy, and try to grasp it. I succeed with the first try, but it’s too much energy for me to handle, so I try to let it away.
Suddenly the kitchen is in flames, I scream…
Luckily my parents are in our garden, that is outside of the kitchen walls, and the kitchen windows are open.
The flames quickly devour the walls and grow bigger, and I sit in the middle of all that, getting burned all over my whole body. I can’t move, I’m not able to even lift a finger, I don’t know how or why…
My parents come in the kitchen screaming my name, I lift my head to see them, and they come running through the flames to me, trying to get to me…
Finally, my mother gets to me, lifting me up, and running to the exit. Wait where is dad? I see him, lying under the joists of the first floor that crashed down because of the flames. My mother runs out and places me far enough away from the house, then she runs back inside to help dad to come out. She tells me not to come near the house…
The pain wasn’t that much at the time in the house, most probably because of shock, but now, it really hurts, so much that I have to cry because of it, my whole body is burned.
I lose consciousness, while hearing my mother scream in pain…
When I wake up, there is no pain and no fire near me, I am lying on a bed in a nicely decorated room. Then the door opens and my eldest sister comes in, the moment she sees that I’m awake she stops in her tracks, to jump at my bed and try to suffocate me in her breasts, then she begins to cry. Yeah, you shouldn’t try and harm others with these torture tits. At this moment she tells me in a whining voice “Mom and dad died in the flames”, I cry with her…
After we hear steps coming from outside the door, we end crying and then my other two sisters come in the room, they ask me what happened so I tell them how mom made the seal go away, and how I wanted to play with this energy and how everything went out of control, at that moment I had to cry again, the pain and how mother left me to help dad, I only can talk about that in a crackling voice...
They seem to understand, and for quite some time, we make a hug circle of 4 sisters.
We get interrupted when one of my brothers comes in the room, it gets quite cramped in here…
He says that he has made some things to eat, so we all go out the room, and go down a floor. When we enter the kitchen of this house, I see all my 3 brothers sitting on the table that has some dishes on it. We claim the free seats and begin to eat quietly. Then my oldest sister tells my brothers what happened, and they seem to understand the circumstances. Then my oldest brother says: “What do we do with her now?” The tone he said that was kind of really scary, and my sisters seem to think the same, saying things like
“she obviously living with us now”
or
“we have to make sure she grows up properly”
And then a heated discussion begins, about my future, and how it should continue…
It’s too much for me, they simply talk about my next years and how I should be living them, I run out of the kitchen and up into the room where I was sleeping. I throw myself onto the bed, and crawl under the sheets.
A few moments later, my youngest sister walks in, don’t mistake her as someone young, she is already grown up, but the youngest out of my siblings. She gets on the bed and under the sheets, there she hugs me and says that everything will be fine, like this we drift into sleep together...
-POV oldest sister-
“You can’t simply let her into other realms because she has to learn some things.” I state, my brother had a stupid idea…
“But she has to learn a few things, you know that she is the most powerful of us, but when she makes things like yesterday, only because she wanted to try something, who knows how many will suffer because of this…” he says, but I know, he clearly wants her to go away, simply because she has some scary powers...
“You can’t simply put her in some completely new environment, if you want to educate her, you have to teach her and show her what is wrong and what not.” Why should she go somewhere, she has 3 sisters who can teach her all sort of things...
“I said we do this, I have to work all day long to get enough money for you 3 sisters, I can’t feed another one, we will send her into a peaceful realm, there she will learn one thing or another…” He says… I can’t go against this, he earns money and we throw it away, to buy some nice things. That are our powers after all, the will to risk everything, to get some beautiful things…
Like this we go into her room, wake up the third sister, tell her about our decision and begin making the preparations to send her into a peaceful realm, where she will learn the things that are important to live…
-POV stupid Goddess-
The moment I woke up, I was laying on a soft ground, and birds were chirping around me, a soft wind blew over my face, and when I opened my eyes, I saw trees all around me…
When I got up, I could see a road between the trees. Where am I? I was in the house of my siblings, wasn’t I?
