chapter 6

Eira's memories were dark, there were no good memories, not even with her parents, although they both loved her equally, it was only a superficial love. They thought of selling her to the village chief.

The arrival of the bandits was unexpected, giving her the opportunity to escape.

Adir, not missing the opportunity, appearing in her dreams, comforted her, told her several things to calm her down.

It was not easy for Adir, but after a few minutes, Eira listened to him, slowly calming down.

Eira stopped being sad, looking at Adir's face, Eira blushed, covering her eyes, Eira didn't want to see him anymore, she bowed her head down, thanking him for helping her.

Even as a child, Eira was embarrassed by her pitiful state.

With a smile, Adir nodded. Adir promised her that nothing would ever happen to her, and that he would teach her everything she needed to continue living comfortably, he taught her to read and write, he taught her etiquette and manners, everything a young lady needed, Adir was a decent god, he did not like his believers to be uncivilized.

In the following years, little Eira assimilated everything she learned quickly, Adir was proud.

In addition to the basic learning, Adir showed her a little of his power, the girl was very surprised.

He mentioned to her that he was a god, and not her imagination. Eira thought she had gone crazy to be able to talk to an imaginary person, but when she saw Adir's power, she changed her mind.

Adir gave a little bit of his power to Eira, he became very fond of the girl, he felt that she was his daughter.

He told her that the power he gave her must only be used for her own good, only, only if she is in a life or death situation, can she use it.

Within her dreams, Eira had lost the shame of looking him in the eyes, they chatted for a while about their days to break the tension, and afterwards, Adir mentioned that this would be his last intervention to the mortal world, Eira was sad.

- Why will you no longer intervene, my god?

- The mortals are depending too much on me, if this goes on, they won't be able to live their own lives, but don't worry, I will always be by your side, remember that I gave you a little of my power, which was enough for you to have eternal life, you won't grow old or die in the years to come.

Eira, who had tears forming in her small eyes, wiped her face with her sleeves, with a beautiful smile, she forgot the subject.

- You will have to leave where you are, go, take a ship and explore the world, get to know the world, and meet new people, make friends, fall in love, get married, have children and say goodbye to them... and, at the end of your journey, come back to this land.

Adir advised Eira, he wanted her to get to know the world and show her how vast it is.

He, who was connected to her, will be able to see everything she sees, making things easier for her. The big job he had, was very stressful, he has to have the maximum concentration not to lose the coordinates of the world, and with Eira, Adir could give a respite, the girl became his anchor.

Eira was moved, listening to her god, she left at night, it was nothing complicated, with the power given by god, she manifested supernatural powers that did not exist in this world, making her invisible, escaping from the castle.

She walked for several days, until she found a seaport, Eira had to hide her face, for simple reasons, one, that she was extremely beautiful, and two, that now the leaders were looking for her. With a simple cloak, she covered her body.

She paid some silver coins and got on board, Eira was mentally tired, the long journey she had to make was already taking its toll on her.

The boat trip went smoothly, she arrived at her destination, France, settled in a town, and lived for some years there.

Adir accompanied her throughout her journey.

From the Middle Ages, to the Renaissance or Victorian times, Eira lived all these eras together with Adir, and in all this journey, Eira accumulated great wealth.

She returned to her homeland and established a family. She adopted a child.

In the end, Eira did not settle down with someone of the handsome sex, nor did she make friends, with god-given immortality, she believed her heart could not bear the burden of watching them slowly die.

I adopted a child, educated him and taught him mathematics, literature, history, natural sciences, classical languages and religion.

Eira instructed him more than ever in religion. The greatness of his god, how he intervened to save his lands from invaders. She told him that, he was the only true god, and that he loved them, that, no other god intervened as much as he did, emphasizing that all other gods were false gods, created by humans to have someone to worship.

The boy, still a naive child, believed everything, enchanted with the stories Eira told him.

Years passed, and the boy became an adult, he still believed everything his adoptive mother told him, of her travels around the world, of her god, and her eternal life. She still looked like a 16-year-old girl.

He fell in love with his own mother, it was a one-sided love, Eira did not look at her son that way. The young adult kept his love deep in his heart and moved on.

He married the daughter of a nobleman. With Eira's fortune, the young man took the family forward, investing in various projects, one of which was railroad transportation.

There were no mishaps in his entire life, he married, had children and died of old age. The young boy had grown into a responsible and mature man.

He taught him everything that his foster mother taught her children, with an iron fist, instilled in them about the history of their god.

Her son, and her son's son, followed the traditions.

The first world war and second world war, was only a springboard for the Ashford family, with their great accumulated wealth, financed the British and French army.

And with Adir's intervention, he told Eira that two world wars were going to break out in Europe. She told the head of the family of this moment, making him listen to her, preparing himself thoroughly.

He contributed financially to his homeland.

He only participated in the Second World War, with the details given by Eira, the head of the family did not care about the Germans in 1914.

Years later, he only took part in the war.

Thanks to funding, they were able to hold out for several months until the arrival of the Allies.

With the help of the Allies, the counter-offensive began, recovering the lost territory of France, the remnants of France, began a guerrilla war against Germany, until the arrival of the United States. They joined them and expelled the Germans.

With this momentum, they regained all the lost territories, and reached the capital of Germany, Berlin.

And the story continued, the Ashford family gained worldwide renown.

The head of the Ashford family continued with the projects. Eira, who, to everyone else, was hidden, no one but the head knew of his existence, as an entrepreneur and investor.

Cedric Ashford was the only one who knew about her, he was ambitious, he wanted to live forever like her, but he didn't know how.

According to the tales and stories, only god's favorite can have this blessing.

He had a crazy idea to kill her and take her place, he thought that, if he killed her, he could see the "god" that was mentioned so much in the family.

It didn't work out as he wanted, the supernatural abilities he only heard about in stories came to life, he watched as Eira killed all his armed men with a snap of her fingers.

His body trembling with fear, Cedric asked for forgiveness and said he would never commit this atrocity again. Eira gave him one more chance to live.

From that day on, Cedric Ashford never again committed this folly.
