Most of them couldn’t believe their eyes and what they were witnessing was beyond common sense for them.

A non-combat Goddess and a shut-in weak girl teaming up to save the world!

Don’t make me laugh.

 The more you think about it the more ridiculous it sounds. Yet again this controversy was going out of hand and Almighty World God was losing his patience. He made a threatening smile and concluded the meeting. Everyone could feel the life threatening pressure or force whatever you call it. I was suffocating under it, as if life was slowly zapped out through me.

“Since all the gods and goddesses had chosen their partner, they have to work well together and know each other better till the next week before the reincarnation ceremony to avoid future frictions between these sacred relations. I announce this meeting of General Assembly has come to its end. I hope you all will join the feast tonight in the pantheon.”

At these words all the gods and goddesses as audience left in a blink of an eye by vanishing into thin air. Can I do it too? Maybe I will try it later.

Most of us were still talking to our god and goddess and introductions were in order first. Most of them had already become overfriendly with each other and were talking casually like old buddies. Some were pumped up to demonstrate their prowess in weapon wielding and martial arts.

But in our case things had gotten a little awkward. The touching union scene and that pure lustrous way of introducing ourselves were just out of our domain. Social interaction, talking to friends, etiquettes, manners and way of expressing ourselves while talking were just out of our league. We both knew of our limitations without saying a word and so were looking in opposite direction afraid to approach each other out of embarrassment. I didn’t know what to do and my mind was ringing with Christmas jingle bell songs for some reason.

When all the other pairs had left the Assembly grounds, Lady Athena broke the silence and said,” For now let’s go to my room.”

“Okay.” But this trick did not work either, and we still stood standing like fools on display.

Lady Athena felt two ghastly gazes upon her and she started moving quickly towards the exit arch gate and I followed her. BUT THIS TIME I WON’T LOSE MY WAY BECAUSE ALL THIS TIME I HAD BEEN HOLDING THE HANDS OF MY GODDESS ATHENA.

The huge sacred hall where Gods assembled to make decisions to rule and govern the world was now completely empty except for the two supreme beings – the Almighty World God and Lady Gaea.

“Was that really a surge in soul power World God?”

“It seems so that way.”

“But such tremendous amount of soul power how can a human even hold this tremendous power in one place. Could you identify the person who released this power?”

“Since I was caught by surprise I could not pin point the person, but it was certainly one of the children. Its unbelievable that someone possesses soul power equal to the upper echelon gods at such a young age. But this batch of children, almost all of them possesses incredible powers too.”

“I agree. Though there could be some disappointment. For example the little girl who paired with Lady Athena had such weak soul power as if she could vanish into thin air anytime nowhere to be found. How she was able to live this long on earth is still a mystery to me. All her life force should have been drained at a much younger age. I am afraid that they do not sound much promising in this endeavour to save the world.”

“Mysteries do intrigue this old man. But sometimes these mysteries may open door to possibilities which even the brightest minds cannot perceive. For now we will wait and observe the children. I hope the future we had been waiting for all this time will bloom itself in the most beautiful way.”

The two of them then too disappeared in thin air. When will I get used to these stupid teleportation freaks, just install some lifts or escalators instead of stairs.
