Gods

Lilith created a portal to return to the Divine Realm after visiting the mortal plane and encountered her father.

"Well... How was your day?" Isaac asked awkwardly. Thinking that Lilith might have created some apocalyptic event or something. "You didn't break humans... or atmosphere? Or something?"

"Daddy?" she asked, surprised by his reaction. "I had a wonderful time!"

"Really?" He tried to sound more excited than he felt, but it was difficult. He did not approve of her going to the mortal realm in the first place. He knew he would be anxious every day until she finished the school now. 'This girl is too powerful for her own good.' He thought.

Lilith quickly noticed Isaac's anxiety and chuckled. "Daaaaaad! You have really low opinion about me! I am a good girl!"

"I know you are..." He sighed in resignation and shook his head. "You were doing great so far, but this... I still think you're going to human school is a bad idea."

Lilith rolled her eyes, and the weather changed. The winds grew stronger, and the rain started to pour.

"See what I mean?" Isaac sighed in exasperation.

Lilith looked around, and the storm calmed down. "I-It's because my powers are much stronger in the divine realm!" She defended herself.

"I know... I know." He paused for a moment, then added. "But you're still growing... Your power is growing as well. What would happen if you suddenly lost control?"

"That won't happen." She frowned and crossed her arms.

Isaac could see that his daughter was upset. "How do you even know?"

Her frown deepened. "Because I have a reason to control myself there. I don't have a reason to do it here."

He sighed again and shook his head. "Just... Don't create an apocalypse."

She showed him her tongue teasingly and created a couch to lie down on using her magic. Then her clothes magically changed into black t-shirt and shorts. She pouted because Isaac didn't seem to be interested in listening about her day.

"Alright, alright... Tell me about your day." He said with a sigh. There was no way Isaac could refuse his daughter a request to go to school and Lilith's attitude was just as stubborn as his; so there was no way he would change her mind.

"Well... I met Lucas today!" She stated proudly.

Isaac raised an eyebrow at that. "And?"

"I asked him why he isn't dating anyone yet!" She grinned mischievously.

"You what now?" Isaac's eye twitched. His overprotective side wanted to grab his daughter and drag her back home before this gets worse. He never expected Lilith would like someone. "C-Can you repeat, please?"

Lilith giggled. "I told him he should date me!"

"WHAT?!" Isaac yelled out in shock and his voice echoed with thunder in the clouds. This is his worst nightmare come true! Not because he was worried for Lilith, but because he was worried for the boy she liked.

"Woah. Talk about self-control."

His only reply was a glare that clearly showed that he wasn't amused by her comment.

"Tshhht!" She waved her hands to calm him down and looked up at the dark clouds. "Anyway, that jerk refused."

"That's a relief," Isaac muttered and heard a lightning hit the ground.

"Daaaaad! You knew I was waiting for him for 8 years now!"

"Lilith—"

"I'm not kidding! That bastard did not even recognize me." Lilith yelled out angrily, pointing her finger at the sky. "I can't believe that guy!"

"Calm down."

"Shut up!" She said, crossed her arms and pouted.

"Teenagers..." Isaac scratched his head and sighed.

"You're the one to talk! You haven't aged ever since you were 16!"

"All righty, all right..." He sighed. "What are your plans now?"

Lilith thought for a moment, then replied. "I want to visit Sarah's house!"

"Sarah?" Isaac repeated. "Who?"

"She's my new friend!" Lilith claimed, putting her hand on her chest. "We are going to be classmates!"

"Oh." Isaac nodded. Now that he thinks about it, Lilith has been acting strange lately. 'Wait a minute... Lucas?' Isaac gasped in realization. Wasn't he the guy Lilith stalked on planet 'Earth' before her reincarnation? "OH?! THAT GUY!"

"Huh?"

"You kept watching over that guy despite lacking magic power!~" Isaac chuckled as he remembered that incident. "You were like a little kid who was waiting for Santa Claus!"

"Guh..." Lilith glared at her father with her eyebrows furrowed. She realized her father was mocking her and she couldn't take it.

Isaac came closer to Lilith and pinched her cheeks. "Did you forget how cute you were when you were younger? Your eyes kept bleeding because you over exhaust yourself!~"

"Ngh..." Lilith's face turned red, and she punched her father's shoulder with all her magical power and sent tremors through the planet.

"Ouch!" Isaac yelped and jumped back.

"Ha! Take that!" She gloated and stood up.

"Okay... That was a good punch." Isaac shrugged and rubbed his shoulder.

"Thank you, daddy!" She smiled warmly at him and ran off towards the castle while yelling out her joy.

Isaac spawned wings and flew into the clouds to observe Lightburn's planet and find out more about the guy Lilith was so excited about. He would not intervene with her love life as long as he knew that the man was right for her.

"So this is Lucas boy." he muttered. "An angel..." Isaac wondered if it's a good idea for Lilith to be with such a destructive being. After all, if gods were creators; angels were destroyers. "Ahhhhh... This hurts my head." Isaac groaned, feeling even more stress after understanding the reason Lilith went into a mortal world.

"This... This is more stressful than creating new planets." Isaac said out loud and took a moment to think. He was trying to plan for the future in case something 'happened' to Lightburn. "Maybe I should transfer some humans into a different world... Just... In... Case." He whispered to himself, while disappearing into thin air.

Lucas walked along the streets of an Elemental City with his hoodie pulled over his head. He was wearing a black leather jacket and jeans. He avoided looking at reflective surfaces, as usual. In mirrors he saw some unknown teenager with golden eyes staring at him from the mirror.

"W-who?" Lucas asked, perplexed by the sudden appearance of the image. "Who is this person?"
