1 We Are Gods
It's the evening of July 6th.
"Ok! I finished writing my wish!" Mahiyah said with a smile face.
The planetarium where Mahiyah work is hosting an event for the Star Festival tomorrow, July 7th.
"All that is left to do is pray for clear skies tomorrow. it's cloudy right now, but ... please let the skies clear up for the Star Festival tomorrow"
As Mahiyah pray she happen to notice something glowing outside the window.
"Is that ... a shooting star?"
Mahiyah ran out onto the balcony, but the sky is as cloudy as ever.
"oh yeah ... the stars are blotted out by the city lights. I would never be able to spot a shooting star" Mahiyah said with a sad face.
Just then, another dazzling light catches her eye.
Mahiyah head snaps up. Far, far away in the sky, a bright light is racing straight to her!
"Wh - What!? Is that this headed this way? It looks like
its going to crash right into me!" Mahiyah murmured.
Terrified by the blinding light, Mahiyah squeeze my eyes shut. That instant ... the light hits her!
"Urgh ... what? what in the world just happened? Did I just die? Was that a meteor?" Mahiyah said in startle condition.
When Mahiyah open her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of her own familiar room.
"I am alive! Thank God ... oh but what about the window the meteor hit ...?" Mahiyah questioned herself.
"That wasn't a meteor" a deep seductive voice spoke.
"Huh?" Mahiyah responded.
Mahiyah don't know that voice. She look up and find six men standing around me.
Mahiyah Pov
"What?" What are these people doing here? And what's with their clothes?"
"Wh - What are you people? And what happened to the meteor from before?" Mahiyah asked the six men who was standing around her.
"look, look Dui, This is Earth!" a man said.
"Ugh .. I can't believe we were actually exiled" Dui replied.
"Geez, I was praying up until the last minute that the king was only joking" another man said
"That wasn't naive of you, Teo. You shouldn't hold out hope for mercy from the king, for your own sake " another man said.
"Trespassers! I am calling the police" Mahiyah said.
Paniced, Mahiyah shrink back, away from the men!
A man with a mean look in his eyes glances at Mahiyah before looking around the room.
"Tch ... what a hovel?" the man said.
"A hovel?" Mahiyah said.
"I don't need this irritation. I am leaving .." the man said.
"Scorpio, wait! Ichthys let's follow him" Dui said.
"He really doesn't want to have anything to do with humans" Ichthys replied.
Mahiyah watch on in bewilderment as the three men with black armbands disappear out of the window, leaving me behind.
"How? this is the fourth floor!?" Mahiyah murmured.
Two remaining men with white armbands continue talking amongst themselves.
"Scorpio still knows how to make his words 'sting' something never change ..."
"Ignore him, Hue." Teorus said.
"Ofcourse I will! I don't have any interest in engaging him ... typical Scorpion" Huedhaut replied.
Mahiyah Pov
"Scorpion? What are they talking about?"
"I don't care how much of a hovel this place is; he should watch his tongue." Huedhaut said.
"Hey!" Mahiyah yelled.
"You just said something pretty mean yourself, Hue." Teorus replied.
"Yeah! what is this about anyways! You just can't burst in here and start calling my place small and dirty ..." Mahiyah said.
Mahiyah Pov
When I look up to glare at the man called 'Hue', his beautiful eyes meet my gaze
Huedhaut - "...!"
"Hue?" Teorus called out his name
"... it's nothing" he replied.
Mahi Pov
Did he just look away from me ...? Regardless of whatever is going on here, that's rude!
"Aww, that's no way to treat a lady" Teorus said.
Mahiyah Pov
Now it's the man with a kind smile and princely Laura's turns to approach me. He slowly brings his face closer to mine. When we make eye contact, his eyes go wide just like the other man's did.
"You ... you have stars in your eyes?" Teorus said.
"Excuse me?" Mahiyah responded.
"Oh?" The seductive voice spoke.
Another man, who until now had been standing in the back with his arms crossed moves languidly, walking up to Mahiyah.
"I see ... that means you are ...?" he said
Mahi Pov
What's up with this guy? He gives off such an intimidating vibe! I am scared!
"Mike, you are getting to close to her" Huedhaut said.
"Stars in her eyes? Now I am interested" Mike said.
"What is all of this about? I am going to call the police" Mahiyah said
"Huh? The police? Hilarious! We are Gods!" Teorus said.
Mahi - ".... Gods?"
"The Gods who rule the stars' Does that ring a bell" Teorus said.
Mahi Pov
I don't understand at all ... what are they, stars? ... Gods? Oh could they be ..?
" Do you mean the Princes of the stars?" Mahiyah asked.
Mahiyah Pov
I don't even know what I am saying ...
"Oh yeah, yeah ... like that! Teorus said.
"Anyways, please come with us... Actually you must come with us, it's your destiny " Huedhaut said.
"Y-You have got to be kidding me ... Gods? The Princes of the stars'?
"You don't believe us? But you just wished on a star?" Teorus said.
"Tr-true I did but ...." Mahiyah said
Mahi Pov
Wait a minute, how does this git know I wished on a shooting star? "Please let the sky clear up tomorrow" I didn't even say that our loud.
'Anyways, if you don't hurry and get out of here I will report you to the police.
"You are only a human, yet you dare refuse the gods?" Mike said.
"Don't come any closer" Mahiyah said.
Mahiyah Pov
His beautiful eyes hold overwhelming power that demands to be obeyed. I freeze.
"What a noise woman, refusing us was never an option. I will personally make you understand that shouldn't be so bad, hm?" Mike said.
The man called Mike laughs condescendingly as
his long fingers slowly trace a line down Mahiyah's cheek.
"... !" Mahi stared blankly at Mike.
"Don't be afraid" Mike said.
"Wow! I never had thought you would touch a human, Mike" Teorus said.
"This is just a little entertainment. It should be fun" Mike replied.
"Geez, what are you planning on doing?" Teorus asked.
"I am simply going to make her understand our power. That's all" Mike responded
Mike pulls his finger away from Mahiyah's cheek
* snap *
The next instant ... Mahiyah's body is floating in midair. In the blink of an eye, Mahiyah is out of the window. Her body floats in the night sky.
"L-let me down! Please!" Mahiyah said.
"I could, but ... Do you really want me to let you down NOW," Mike replied.
Mahiyah Pov
H-He's right! I would fall headfirst to the ground!
"Nevermind! Don't drop me!" Mahiyah said.
"There is no need to yell. I have no intention of letting you go just yet" Mike responded.
"B-but ..."
"I could let you live or die depending on my mood. I dont think it would be very wise of you to yell any further"
"...!"
Mahiyah Pov
This has to be a dream ... Flying through the sky ... This is just too crazy ...
Unconcerned with Mahiyah's bewilderment, Mike takes her by the waist and pulls her close. He gracefully takes her hand and walks off, leading her across the sky. It's like the two of them are taking a stroll in midair.
"We are going up a little higher" Mike stated.
Mike whispers in Mahiyah's ear before moving his big hand to softly cover her eyes.
Mahiyah Pov
I can't see. His words have been harsh, but his touch is quite the opposite.The hand that blocks my vision is gentle. I feel my pulse quicken. Why is my heart racing? it's because I am scared to be in the sky like this, right? Suddenly I can see again ... A water-filled sky and the beautiful view of the city below spread out before my eyes.
"Wow! It's so pretty! This is like a dream!" Mahiyah said.
"So you forgot about your fear when I show you something beautiful? What is the most beautiful thing you see right now?" Mike asked.
Mike whispers quietly in Mahiyah's ear.
"You ..." Mahiyah replied.
"What did you say?"
Mahiyah Pov
Crap .... Mesmerized by his beautiful face, I accidentally say what I am really thinking.
"Are you trying to flirt with me? Sorry, but you will have to do better than that iif you want to win me over"
Mahiyah Pov
He laughs a little, he doesn't seem to be displeased with my comment.
"Honestly, though I have never seen anything this beautiful before" Mahiyah stated.
"Then, have you decided to believe?" Mike asked.
"Believe ... you mean you mean believe that you and your friends are gods?"
"What else would I mean?"
Mahiyah Pov
I am lucky to be having such a beautiful dream, so ...
"if this is a dream ... I can believe you are a God" Mahiyah responded with a smile.
"A dream ...? What a self-serving, human"
"Huh" Mahiyah said with a confused expression.
"Well .. fine. Now that you believe we are Gods, the next thing you need to do is be a good girl and follow me. Come with me."
"Follow you"
"To put it in human terms, you need to have faith. Its up to you whether you follow me or not "
Mahiyah Pov
What does that mean ....
"Well ... it's time for some entertainment. I hope its enjoyable."
Mike says, one corner of his mouth curling up into a smirk. Mike touches Mahiyah's cheek ... suddenly she feel her body drops.
"What? Hey!" Mahiyah yells.
"You are a foolish human to refuse a God ... We will meet again, and when we do, you will say that you will be mine"
"Wait! I am falling"
"I am Mike, ruler of Sagittarius. Remember my name"
"I didn't ask your name ... Save me!"
