" Like all the stories you read before about people going to other worlds, you get to do it too! Shiro said. " This world is a world that only us gods made to play around with and have fun. If you need to, just think of it like a game of sims or like an mmorpg. It was only made to help us prepare Ashton for a different life."
All the other gods nodded at what Shiro was saying. As if it was that obvious what was going on. Alex could only stare at them in wonder. Where they idiots! he thought to his self.
" Wait a minute!" Alex said as he shook his head. " If Ashton is too young to go to this world, why would you bring him here early? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait for him to be older before bring him here. Also, what do you mean by getting energy for him in this world. What's going to happen to him."
" Yeah... about that," shiro answers guilty. " Time runs differently here then in your world. While making the planet and starting civilizations on it thousands of years passed for us and only a few months for you in your world."
"We were so excited when we were done that we couldn't help but open the rift to bring Ashton here," said Elsa as she handed Ashton cookies across the table.
"We were halfway through pulling all our enery together before we realized he was too young!" Gourd added in. " Since we couldn't stop, we decided to go with plan B. It was the only thing we could do since we can't open the rift again after this!"
"Besides, we couldn't wait for Ashton to get here anyways, so might as well have him now," Angela proclaimed as she tried to get closer to Ashton to touch him.
"Wait a minute! What do you mean plan B! What about sending us home!" Alex shouts out in a panic looking at all the gods who were obsessed with his son. Does that mean they can never go home? What will happen to them Alex wondered, his emotions starting to rise again.
Alex looks at this son, happily eating the snacks handed to him. His smile lighting up this already bright world as he laughs at the gods surrounding him with snacks, trying to get his attention. Where do they go from here? he wondered.
"Alex relax! Take a deep breath," Shiro tells him. " The plan was to have both of you travel in Snowfall as Adventures when he was 13, but you have to do it on your own for now. Unfortunately, you can't go back to your world, we don't have the power to do that anymore. But this world is better, after all it was made for the both of you!"
"Yes! Thats for sure," Gourd says as he steps up to Alex. " This world is much better and you will be much stronger then the creatures that inhabit this planet!"
"Whats done is done," Angela snaps at Alex as she pulls Ashton into an embace. Rubbing their cheeks together, she looks at Alex and says " Right now we need to make sure Ashtons spiritual body doesn't take damage!Last thing any of us wants is for this cute little guy to get hurt."
"Not to worry Alex, we're not separating you two!" Elsa says. "Just think of it as daycare! You will gather the energy for your son and will always be able to talk and see him whenever you want."
" That's right! All you have to do is get these orbs to turn green with energy, then bring it back here," Gourd says as he hands Alex a gold earring with dangly gold strips that have tiny clear colored orbs attached at the end.
"At each intervals of bringing the energy to us, all you have to do is go into a church," Elsa states as she walks up to Angela to squeeze Ashtons cheeks. " The earring will gather the energy on its own so you don't have to do anything. Walk into any church and do a prayer, then you will end up here."
"Okay! Thats enough explaining! Lets get started now!" Angela says as she tries to run away from her sister and Gourd with Ashton in her arms. "The quicker we finish the quicker we can decide who gets to watch Ashton after me!"
" Wait a minute here! Alex shouts at all of them, while tring to grab his son back. "You haven't explain anything to me yet! What am I supposed to do? What kind of world is Snowfall and how will I survive!"
