Lesson 10: How to become a god

The next day Dall calls me into the domains livingroom. I follow his call and end up getting surrounded by Morpheus, Gilgamesh, Aergia, Spes and a Dall standing right beside me.

He lays his hand on my shoulder as he tells me what this is about.

D:" So, little one. Those two have a proposal for you."

S:" Yes. We want to adopt you."

V:" Adopt me?"

A:" Yes, we are both gods. We don't have any fighting powers - but we heard you were an orphan"

V:" How did you..."

A:" My only power. I can sense the reason for someone to be sad. Yours was really clear."

V:" ..."

S:" So well... You helped us, so we want to give you something back. We cannot get kids like normal humans, we would have to use a human to either use my DNA or hers. And we do want children, but not under the cost of betraying each other."

V:" ...So you want me as a child?"

A:" Yes. We already know you are a good child and we approve of your revenge, too. Being a god makes things easier you know?"

V:" Wait - would being you child lead to me being a god?"

D:" Yes. That's why I told you it's an important matter."

V:" What does that mean for me?"

A:" You would be our son, in the eyes of any god. You would be given heavenly protection. But you are also responsible for your and our actions."

V:" And what would happen if we did something bad?"

D:" Godly judgement. An elite force of gods, killing the threats of their image and their recognition."

We talk about pros and cons a bit further and I decide to postpone it for after my vengeance. I cannot guarantee for me to not do anything bad before this is ended. It would be bad if Aergia and Spas would be punished, so I simply delay it. I still get a teaching of my jobs as a god.

Well, nothing more and nothing less than what I do now, except that I need to choose an aspect. An aspect I belong to, one I represent. And my name says it all - it is going to be revenge. No matter what.

I then decorate their rooms for a bit, with all their choices. Unlike the other gods, they actually choose some items out of different worlds. Five things to be exact. A vacuum cleaner, a collection of books - I cannot read the language, but it seems they can. Further they want a small zone for foreign fruits and vegetables, a computer with equipment and twom other things I cannot actually read. Seems to be written in some kind of curvy language...
