When I woke up, I couldn’t feel my body as it was wrapped in bandages along with losing my voice in the process. From my surroundings I can see that I’m no longer where all that happened, but the moment I opened my eyes and tried to speak there was an older man next to me. His name was Porter Don, he told me that it was him and his comrades who found me while I was unconscious during the destruction I think I made.
I laid there in bed to recover though as many thoughts came flooding back, the only thing I can think about is how bored I am in bed right now. Days went by and the only thing I could do was lay there doing nothing except move my eyes and groan in pain, and see Porter’s daughter come in and out of the room telling her day and sleeping next to me. It was a struggle as I had to be with her all the time but there was nothing I could do about it since I understand her loneliness, plus the fact that I’m unable to move because of my broken body.
Lately I have been hearing her a lot, not Lexi Porter’s daughter, but Mother Gaia.
“Are you alright my dear!? I saw what happened and did my best to save you, but as a Goddess I have limits to how much I can give my power to you!”
In all honesty, I don’t even remember what exactly happened.
“It’s alright! I can tell you.”
.…have you been reading my mind?
“….yes.”
....
“It’s only for now! Until you recover your voice !”
So you've been reading my mind for the last few days.
“……yes, it’s been really lonely alright! None of my children respect me anymore and I lost my powers due to the lack of faith! I’m really trying my best here!”
I pity you.
“Your face already says it, but what do you wanna know?”
Hmm…from the beginning, why was my family brought here?
“Because I needed a champion.”
This champion you needed, they were called Miracles.
“Yes.”
But I was told that there were so many of them, so why could you make them your champion?
“I couldn’t, they were not handpicked by me and they couldn’t receive my blessing since they were chosen from a different God.”
So those God’s been sending their champion into your world and they’re the one that’s stealing your believers, causing you to grow weak.
“Whether you believe it or not, it is true. I lost my champions 700 years ago and I was unable to save both of them. I put so much pressure onto them that I didn’t think about the consequences.”
They were from another world?
“Yes, they were a lovely couple. They helped me bit by bit, but were interrupted by the inference of the Gods that they became corrupted. Then I lost both of them on the same day. I lost Cora Rixton and Quinn Rixton.”
Quinn?
“Cora’s husband.”
That’s why Eleanor said I looked like them, ….then why were you only able to summon us now after 700 years?
“Because….I..i lost all hope. I kept losing all my champions one by one and my children began to feel ashamed, because of the God that took over my world that they wouldn’t help me save it. I didn’t think that there was another chance, so I prayed and wished for champions to appear once more and it did you and your family, but you were the only one who could hear me. So I’m sorry if I put so much pressure on your shoulders.”
You sure did….to save your world, but why was Cora still alive when you said that she died those years ago?
“….the enemy wanted to mock me as a Goddess that couldn’t protect them unknowingly causing their own death in the process, but I’m glad you put an end to it.”
So that God is dead.
“Yes, by the hands of our Heavenly Father, the King of Gods. Only he can give divine punishment to us Gods, though I need you to be more careful from now on though that God has fallen, his children have invaded my world and brought chaos into it.”
More trouble then, what else? Ah, what powers do I have exactly? All I remember was that I can sing and with cards I made up and Eleanor glowing.
“Haha, the blessings given to my Miracles are supporting power. I gave you the power to enhance your power or to your comrades, from the looks of it you sing it out to use that power. The cards, well I gave you those powers because they were created by your own free will.”
Yeah, I wanted cards that can hold storage from attack, items, to collecting pain. I did two of those and it certainly helped me, it’s kinda like subspace magic but with a bonus.
“That power can be used wrongly.”
I know that’s why after I die I want it to go back to you for granting me that kind of power, so you don’t have to worry about it so thank you. Then Eleanor, why did she glow. I mean I know I called upon you for help since I know I’m not strong enough to beat them all but…who turned Eleanor to stone?
“Stone? Eleanor turned to stone?”
Yeah, I thought you saw what happened.
“That’s news to me ... .my sweet bird I’m going to need you to be more careful than ever now, I really meant it I need you to be more careful. Eleanor may not be the only victim, she's the beginning of your journey, it’s going to be a long and lonely one. The cause of her glow like that must be from you, you must’ve freed her from her chains and set her free.”
I thought you helped me with that.
“I don’t have that kind of power, it might be…it may have come from the Heavenly King.”
The Heavenly King? But why?
“I do not know…”
I then hear the creaking sound of the door opening and someone new enters with a bowl and cup.
“Oh, excuse me, I didn't know if you were awake or not.”
I groaned at him since that was the only sound I could make, and when I tried talking back to Mother Gaia she didn’t respond.
“You don’t have to force yourself to speak alright kiddo. Here I’ll help you drink.”
As he helps me drink I noticed little Lexi peeking at the door. With little movement I waved her over.
“Dalton, is she alright?”
“Yes, she’s improving.”
“I’m sorry.”
“For what Lexi?”
“We lost our healer because of me.”
“No, no that wasn’t your fault-”
“But WAHHH!!”
I think they forgot about me as I watched Lexi start crying and Dalton was cheering her up as another person came in yelling.
“WHO MADE LEXI CRY!!”
On his way over, he tripped over hitting heads with me.
