"Okay! Just as practiced... put as little power as you can, Imagine just the body, and don't think of it as your children... okay?" Lucerna says in a gentle tone.
"Alright. As little power as possible..." I answer back to them.
We're currently making the dwarven race, or at the very least, the first of the dwarves.
I'm currently having lessons taught by Lucerna about powers over life, as I messed up with making the first angel, and the first devil.
To create life, simply say, "let there be life," with the appropriate image of what you're trying to make. This was Lucerna's method of creating life. This simple method allows anyone to imprint themselves on the beings that Lucerna made, and the beings will get whatever trait or power the imprinted has.
While my method, or rather, my power regarding life, if I create life, whatever it may be, it becomes a higher being. This caused the first angel to be at the same standing as Lucerna and the others, the same thing happened to the demon I made. Those two became the God of Angels, and the God of Demons, Which I named Angela and Santana.
Angela and Santana seemed to like each other, Angela bore white wings and a golden halo and wore white clouds around her body, while Santana has black wings and black horns, and just like Angela, he wore black smoke around his body. Despite being an angel, Angela seems to be the more loud, outgoing, and rowdy, the opposite of what I thought angels would be. And the same goes for Santana, who is quiet, shy, and well-behaved. Rather than siblings, Angela seems to treat Santana as her significant other, and Santana seems to have the same feeling as well, treating her as his un-separable partner.
Angela seems to be cut from the same cloth as Pira and Libertad, and Santana with Cere and Serenitas. Just after giving them names, they bowed and left, and seemed to make a dimensional gate. A white portal for what I think is Heaven or the Dimension of the Angels, and a black portal for what I think is Hell or the Dimension of Demons.
Lucerna wanted me to take their lives back, but I couldn't. Once I made them, a bond was already made with me. And hence their advice of not thinking of my creations as children. They also told me to shorten my spell or chant, as it seems that the longer the chant is, the more power is being used to perform it. That's why I made six higher beings in one chant.
I put my hands out and began my very short chant. "Create Life." I feel and see something come out of my body, which is Existential Energy, as explained by Cere to me. Existential Energy has many colors, mine is black. This black energy starts to morph into flesh, as it builds the body I have in my mind. Little by little, it made two bodies, a man and a woman, their body formed with their short stature, well-toned muscles, short limbs, hands and feet, and a wide head.
Once the process was complete, their floating bodies fall to the ground, landing gently. They look confused and scared.
"Don't be scared," Lucerna says. "You're here for a greater purpose. The one who asked for your existence, will take you and bring you to a better place." Lucerna smiles widely, then the expression on their faces becomes better. Lucerna makes a platform made of hard light, makes them get on it, and delivers them slowly to Cere's habitat on this planet.
While I'm waiting for Lucerna to return, I put my hand back and chanted again.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Create Life." Once again, black energy comes out of my body, and it began to morph into flesh. I imagine a body of an Elf. Tall, slender, pointy ears, and sharp eyes. Long and limber arms and legs, long fingers too. After I form the image in my head, the flesh in front of me forms the image I'm thinking into two similar bodies, once again, one male and one female.
And just like the last one, they are all confused and scared. I inhaled deeply and spoke in the same tone Lucerna did.
"Be not afraid. You'll be taken care of, immediately." I say in a gentle tone.
Their scared expressions... became even worse, what in the world? Why?
They step slowly away from me. I'd want to get close, but I don't think that's wise.
Lucerna arrives and looks at the frightened elves, They land gently on the ground and faces me. "Dad? What happened?"
"I made the elves, and tried to calm them down, and they freaked out!" I said, then Lucerna makes a quick chuckle. Hey, don't look at me like that.
"I see. I'll explain it to you later." They get close to the Elves and began talking to them.
"Easy there. I'm here. I won't hurt you. Ignore that being there. While he looks scary, he doesn't mean any harm." They say in a gentle tone. The elves getting closer to her. Lucerna then took them away to Libertad's habitat.
Huh... Why did they get scared?
To avoid what had just occurred, I sat down and waited for Lucerna to come back. In the meantime, I made a hard-light fidget spinner and made it so that it makes the colors of the rainbow when spun.
Minutes later, Lucerna comes with a wide smile.
"Okay! I'm back! Let me explain something, Dad." Lucerna sits in front of me on the ground.
"Me, and the others, see you as you are, right now. Weird clothing, black hair, and stuff, yeah?" She says.
"And lower beings see me differently?" I say, then they nod.
"That's right. What they see is what you look like within that outer shell. A black, foggy being, with white eyes, and a menacing, scary aura."
"That's what I look like before this transformation?"
"Yep. That transformation only works on those who have existential power. So only we can see the outer shell. Others, not so much. Animals, Monsters, Lower races. They all see your true appearance."
"Yeesh...." I scratch the back of my head.
"Well, with that out of the way, let's continue!" I nod and I stand up with them. As we began making the rest of the races written in the list.
Making the humans was easy. And it seems that Faeries are just a variant of spirits, and because the spirits are something that is for everyone, Lucerna had called everyone to put their powers along with mine in creating spirits. Thousands... no, millions and millions of little spirits came to life at the same time, even with the shortened chant. They are of different colors, some even having 2 or more colors as they spin around Nameless and the others... except me.
WHY?! Is it because I'm scary?!
Swarms of spirits follow their respective gods, except the multicolored ones. Red for Pira, Blue for Serenitas, Green for Libertad, and so on and so on. The mixed colors seem to be under the influence of 2 or more gods and are having a hard time following which god to follow. When my children lead the spirits to their respective biomes, the multicolored ones stayed. And observed me.
A few minutes passed and they began slowly approaching me. I didn't move a muscle as I might scare them away...
A few minutes more, They're all swirling around me. Laughing and playing around.
I wonder if my children can do the same.
With Lucerna and the others returning, it seems that the three planet modification plan is already complete, all that's left is the inhabitants.
So with the help of everyone, we began making the races on the list one by one. And in a matter of days, we were done. All that's left if for Lucerna and the others add them to their respective worlds.
