“So she has done it…” 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐
Within the heavens, the figure of the beautiful goddess of life and souls rested over a seat made of wood. She seemed slightly tired yet relieved. However, what she had done was stepping out of her boundaries. Gods were not allowed to directly intervene in the world below like she did, even though it was so Planta could defeat the Mushroom Hero and put a rest to this man’s soul…
Quickly after that, she received the visit of another goddess, a beautiful woman with brown skin, long dark purple hair, and two horns spiraling upwards, with sharp purple eyes that shone brightly like stars… As her hair waved, it showed the entire night behind her, like an endless veil of starry beauty.
“Gaia…”
“Nyx…”
The two goddesses met, Nyx, the Goddess of Darkness and the Night, and Gaia the Goddess of Life and Souls. It could be said they were rather the opposite from one another. But they were actually sisters that loved and cared for each other. After Nyx saw what Gaia had done, the other Gods won’t easily let her be. They’ll come here and tell her what she had done, and she might even suffer a punishment.
“What you’ve done is way too much!” Nyx quickly reprimanded her gentler and more nicer sister, crossing her arms rather angrily. Gaia looked away from her sister’s gaze, nervously and embarrassed to show her face to her after what she had done.
“I know but…” Sighed Gaia. “I had to help her… My child… She might truly be the hope we need.” Gaia said while containing her tears. She had never done something to offend others before, always being nice and hard worker but suddenly, she had done something that caused a domino effect and shook the world once more. Due to her interference, Planta was given clues to how to defeat the Hero raised by the Miasma of the Dark Demon King, and therefore, cause direct damage to him afterwards.
“I had also recently met an interesting child. It seems she’s related to yours.” Sighed Nyx. “I don’t know what else to tell you, you’re stubborn and way too nice…” Nyx sat down at the side of Gaia, hugging her shoulders and kissing her cheek. “You’re a precious goddess that cares about everybody, it is hard to get angry at you… I’ll do everything I can to appease the rage of the other gods, stay by my side.” Nyx and Gaia held hands tightly, as a portal in front of them emerged.
“Perhaps the girl I meet might also be a hope I needed… She is very close to your child after all.” Said Nyx.
“Nyx… Thanks.” Sighed Gaia.
“No problem dear.” Nyx smiled warmly, as the two sisters entered through the portal.
An enormous hall with many seats and gods greeted their sight, each one taking the embodiment of an element of nature, their imposing figures and divine auras made the air in the entire hall very hard to breath.
“Gaia, you’ve made something rather severe today…”
The gods quickly called her to sit down, as she nervously sat down, while Nyx sat down farther from her, where her seat was actually positioned. Within the many Gods there was, there was one bigger than the others, the so-called God of Creation, a man above the others. Gods in this world were technically GM, they supervised the world (game) and all of its things. They were forbidden from interacting directly with players or NPC after the initial creation and are told to oversee and maintain the elements of the world.
But what… truly are gods?
“I… I apologize for my insolence, God of Creation. I… Am willing to take a punishment.”
Gaia bravely confronted the God of Creation and asked directly for punishment, without an ounce of regret in what she did. She apologized, but all the other gods could tell she wasn’t going to regret it… the God of Creation, in all of his grace, stood in silence before her and then decided to ask her why she did this before imparting any punishment.
“Why? Why did you suddenly interfered? You’re one of the most well-behaved of all the Gods. So why did you go against the rules?”
“I…” Gaia looked at every god, especially the tall God of Creation.
“I did this because I feel like we need a change.”
“A change?”
“What?”
“What do you mean?”
“We have been doing this since the beginning… What do you mean a change?”
“Haven’t any of you noticed? As you see the souls of the “Players”? How they’re hopeful of a world of adventurers and more… When this world had gone through so much? And it will simply continue to do so… We have the power to change the world, or to help them change the world! So why? Why must we limit ourselves so much?” Asked Gaia, as the gods heard her inspirational words. “Haven’t you been charmed as well by their souls? By the beauty of their hearts?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The gods all fell into silence, looking at Gaia as the God of Creation’s eyes, which shone like two stars began to shine even brighter, so bright that the light was piercing through Gaia’s entire body painfully.
“Gaia! You from all the gods should know very well why we do this! If we ever were to actually interfere any more… the balance of everything would be broken! The world is perfectly in balance after eons of reconstruction…!”
“But… the Demon Kings… they’re all awakening one after the other. We were not able to stop the previous three! If it wasn’t thanks to them… What might had even happened to all of the Land?” Asked Gaia. “We need to rely on them and help them more… Being stubborn will only bring us no end to this endless conflict! You from all the gods should also know that, God of Creation! The Dark Demon King of Miasma… is too dangerous to be let to thrive for any longer… You know what had happened before he resurrected… You saw through that knowledge as we rebuilt the world, didn’t you?”
Gaia’s words resonated across the hall, as the gods felt shocked she actually confronted the God of Creation himself!
