2 Chapter 1

You know, walking in the night is rather creepy. Anything could jump out at you, and you'll die. I am not worried only because I can defend myself with my robotic gun thing? I should figure out what to call this thing. Continuing down the pathway to the docs, I see a light shining around. I forgot there are night guards here.

"Hello? Anyone there?" I questioned the guard. I notice someone walk over to me wearing a nightguard uniform and looks like a 17-year-old boy.

"H-Hey! W-w-who are you?" I can tell this is the boy's first day. If I were any other ruler of a country, I would get annoyed by the boy for not knowing me. I'm not like other rulers. "I'm the Queen of this place, and I have an order for you." The boy's expression changes to shock and panic. The reason is that the queen doesn't show up to the docs often. "Y-yes ma'am, w-w-what is your o-order?" I give him a slight smile to show him I am not angered or annoyed. "Can you please move the ships to Port Forlum? If you can't, ask your boss." The boy quickly shakes his head up and down and promptly leaves to get his boss.

I suppose now I wait. How long does it usually take to move one hundred and fifty-five boats? I check my watch and see it's 11:42; it's been twelve minutes for that walk to happen. While I am checking my wristwatch, I hear two people walk up. I see the boy from before, and I also know the boss who is wearing the same thing the boy is, but he has a captain hat that he is wearing. Is that a bird nest on the cap? I'm also guessing he forgot his shades on his desk. "Ma'am, Port Forlum is currently full. We would have to move the boats to Port Mèlic. That's a 3-hour drive for all of the boats. Most of our staff are asleep. We would need some magic gems to put on the ship on autopilot." That makes sense. I forgot Forlum is getting used by our Navy. "I see. How many Magical Gems do you think you need to make this work?"

The boy's face lights up, and he quickly speaks up, "That would be around? Carry the one times it by two. Two thousand and thirty-seven."

The boy forgot one thing why did he have to carry the one? "Boy, no offense, but you don't have to carry the one. It's two thousand and twenty." The boy's face becomes puzzled. "Oh wait, I didn't need to carry the one because this isn't a flying ship." "Yes, your correct." The boy looks at me with a smile. I can sense the stars in his eyes. "So ma'am, are you able to give that much?" That is the question here. I reply with a simple comment, "Yes, let me call my assistant to have Anchor bring it here." I start using the magic telepathy to Fiona. "Fiona, are you there? I need you to tell anyone awake currently to bring two thousand and fifty magical gems." I end the magic there. Wondering what time has passed, I recheck my wristwatch. 11:45.

I have fifteen minutes left. As I look up to the two people in front of me, I feel the wind behind quicken. Turning around, I see one of our guard bots that patrol the city. I can also see that there throwing crates at us. I am sensing the impending doom for the people behind me. I start using more magic. Feeling magic on my fingertips, I look at the containers and gently point my right arm at the crates. A Magical glow appears around the eight containers, and I gently put my arm down to the ground, and the eight containers slowly land on the floor. I end the magic. The magic from my fingertips disappears. I turn to the two people. "There are your magical gems in the crates. I'll be on my way." While I am walking away from the two individuals, I can hear them say something, "Thank you, ma'am, for the magical gems. We'll move the boats right away." I smile to myself. My citizens are friendly people. I continue walking away from the two.

I am making my way down the wooden dock. I check the time once again.

11:55. I am early. I walk towards the edge of the dock, sit on the edge and dangle my legs over the water. This is peaceful hearing the water move and hearing the owl's chirp. I wonder how long this peace in this world will last. I hear the boats start moving away from the shore. There go the ships. Watching the boats leave, I see all of them turn on the lights. Catching the last boat leave, I sigh. I haven't drunk anything for a whole day now; I'm partially dehydrated. Great Alora, I get up and stretch. I see the same girl before me, the same one before.

"What?" giving the girl a confused look. It makes sense that she is here she gave me the letter. I wasn't expecting her to be awake at this time.

"Alora, thank you for coming. I have something great to show you." The girl says to me. I'm still confused about what's happening. "I know this may be confusing, but something has awoken in your port. I wanted to show you." This doesn't make any sense what's in my port. I take a deep breath and look at the girl. I am ready for whatever she is about to show me. "I think she should be awake?" I give a quizzical look at her. "What do you mean by her?" The girl tilts her head at me. "Oh, you don't know because she hasn't done anything. Wait? Haven't you checked Anchor's feed?" I haven't checked her feed in a while. That usually is Fiona's job, and she informs me. Maybe she didn't tell me? "I haven't checked it yet," I respond. "Oh, then you really might be surprised." Surprised? Why would I be surprised? This is very strange. I look down to gather my thoughts when I hear something land on the dock. I look up and see two tentacles. One of them lets the girl stand on it while the other is on the pier.

"I have some questions." As I look at the girl, confused. I see her smile back at me. I then see behind her a monster that looks like an octopus with a human body. It was freaking blue! Not only that, there are wings behind the behemoth of a beast staring at me. The eyes are pure white. This beast has no pupils; what the hell is that thing! "Alora, I noticed you're frightened by my friend. This is what I like to call-" I see a girl on top of this "Cthulu" thing. I see a girl standing on top of the beast's head.

I have to look up even to see the girl. Since she is on a tall octopus beast, from down here, I can see that her tentacles had this long black dress, but underneath it, a bright deadly blue that glowed in the darkness that matched her dress with the outer black and the inside blue. Her hair was a dull Aquatic color that was longer than her tentacles. She was looking directly at me with a stern look. She then jumps off the beast and lands a few meters away. She starts to walk up to me. Looking at her, I can tell she is up to my shoulder! That would mean she is 145 or 4.7 feet. Why is she so small. I take a couple of steps backwards.

I was startled; I could tell how strong this girl was by looking at her. She stops in front of me and looks at me. "Mortal, are you the leader of this world?" What? A mortal? Is she like a god or something? No focus Alora stand your ground. I look at the girl. "I am the leader of this nation. Yes." The girl's blue eyes glow at me. "Mortal, I have come here to destroy everything, but I tried to destroy these docks. If you look to the left of you, the docs are getting repaired." I looked left and saw that the pier was destroyed. The end bit of the dock has wood broken, and some wood is still left. As I continued to look at the dock, I saw the red fabric. This girl fought Anchor. What is this girl, and who is she?

"Why haven't you destroyed the world then?" The girl looked at me. "That robot girl was hard to defeat. Stopping time is no easy feat. Plus, that girl who handed you the letter postponed my destruction of your planet." So Anchor stopped her from destroying the world. "Question what can I call you?" The girl responds, "I am the god of Cthulu. That is all I am. That is how you can address me." This girl is something else. "Can I call you Lu?" The girl retorts. "If it's easier to speak to me, then mortal you can." "Alright, answer this for me then. What are you, and why are you here?"

The girl then nodded a little. Did she seem pleased? It's hard to read her expression. "I am known as the god of Cthulu. The reason why I am here is that something woke me up from my slumber. I don't know what, but something did." I then crossed my arms and thought, what could have awakened this girl? "Mortal, answer me this. Why should I destroy your planet right here and now?" After the girl said that, it cut my train of thought. I look back at her. "Well, first, it's rather peaceful here. No wars, no nothing. Plus, the whole planet is powerful. They could probably fight you and try and stop you." The girl looked at me. "Mortal, listen, I despise Humanity and what's its worth since it would be a bother fighting everything. Even though I am immortal, you mortals probably figured out how to remove immortality from creatures like me." I look at her. I sigh. "Do you want me to show you around my kingdom?" The girl looks at me. "Fine, mortal."

I walked into the city, and Lu followed behind me. She looked at the closed stores and homes. "Mortal, why is it so quiet?" I slowed my walking speed so she could catch up to me to walk together. "Unlike you, Lu, who doesn't need sleep. Humans and Animalistic Humans need sleep."

Lu looks at a fruit store and walks up to the door. "Lu, that door is locked. I can bring you there tomorrow." I can see Lu grab the doorknob, break the locks, and walk into the store. "Lu! You can't just do that. That's robbery." I walk up to the door, put it back in the door frame, and use mending to fix it. Good thing it's locked from the inside and not with a key. I turn around and look at Lu, eyeing the fruits. "Mortal, what are these?" I walk next to her and see fruits in baskets. I also noticed that they have apples?!" Apples are the rarest thing in Epra. I am shocked that we even have apples. "Mortal, answer the question." As she looks at me, annoyed. I look back at her with confidence. "These are fruits; we grow them here. These are rather fresh right now. The pears are good, but the apples are good as well. It's up to you." Lu grabs a pineapple and positions her hands on each side of the pineapple as she breaks in two straight lines. She put the other pineapple. on the checkout place. She looks at me, confused.

"Mortal, how do I eat this?" I put out my hand, signifying that she should hand me the pineapple, and she does. I walk behind the checkout stand and grab a knife. I walk over to one of the tables, skin the pineapples, and cut them into squares. She walks over to the table, grabs one, and puts it in her mouth. "Taste's strange mortal. It's good either way." She walks behind the checkout stand. Me being confused, I stay in front of the checkout stand but look through the open part. I see her walk to a basket too high for her to grab. I then notice she makes a tentacle appear from the floor to bring the basket. She holds the basket and walks back to me. "Mortal, I want all of these yellow fruit. I just tried and one of every other food." I look at her, confused. "I don't think that's possible we can't just." I see her grab every pineapple and one of each fruit and walk outside. "Guess I'll just leave a note saying I bought them." I did just that. I wrote a note saying I had bought them and walked out of the store.

I noticed that she was eating some pineapples while I walked out. "Lu, quick question what happened to the little girl that gave me the letter?" She looks at me. "She thinks I am god." That's surprising. I didn't think she would be a god. "Wait, Lu, why does she think you are a god?" Lu throws another pineapple in her mouth. "Well, if I summon something or do a certain pose, it will make whoever looks at one of those two things I just said before it will make them think I am a god." Ok, that answers that question. Wait a second? "Lu, where did the girl go?" She continues to look at me. When I suddenly see her eyes flash blue. My mind then starts to hurt like crazy it just stings. I hold my head with both hands, close my eyes, and squat down. "You survived." I open my eyes and look up at her. "The hell was that?" I look at her. She looks back with a look of not caring. "Mortal, if I may, that was me trying to make you think I am a god. For some reason, it didn't work on you?" I coughed heavily. "You want to know why. I am already in a religion." I pushed myself up. "Then what religion are you in?"

I am still breathing heavily. I start to slow my breathing. "I am not going to tell you that." I look at her. "Can you please give me a pear? It's the green one in the basket." She looks at me and opens the basket. She looks inside it and grabs a pear. "Mortal, if I give you this, you have to respond to my question I asked before." I give her a thumbs up. She hands me the pear. As she hands me a pear, I put it in my pocket to eat it later. "Alright, I support the Reader and Gloria." Lu starts walking away. I follow behind her. "So, where do you live, mortal?" I point to the castle that's right next to us. "Right here, Lu." As I looked at the court, I expected. I thought Lu would do something about it. Guess not. I open the gate and walk inside. I can sense Lu following right behind me. I walked up the stairs and into my room and took off my jacket. "You do know some Mortals, like shoulders." I turned around and looked at Lu, sitting on my bed.

"Why are you in my room?" "Am I not allowed to Mortal?" I give her an annoyed face. Whatever. Should I sleep with my dress on or take off my dress? If I take off my dress, Lu will see me in the nude. But if I leave my dress on then, I'll have to clean it in the morning. You know what. I walk over to my bed and jump onto it. Then I pull the covers over me because it's cold.

I see Lu, look at me. "What is it Lu?" "I'll tell you, tomorrow mortal." I see her walk to my couch and lie down. "Well, Good night Lu."
