I sat in my private bath away from other gods, goddesses, or angels. The 5th floor is such a blessing sometimes. I lay alone, the green-ish blue waters steam the room. I let out a sigh, as my eyelids close to the silence, my mind blank but not for long. ‘It's been a what.. 4 months?! and you’ve done NOTHING to sway this new goddess into terror.’ My brain yells, at this point I should just give it a name…
‘I have no intention to terrorize Nisha, she’s a kind soul.’ I responded, hoping it was the end of the conversation but as always it wasn’t. ‘Nisha this and Nisha that, I couldn’t care less about her kind soul.’ The annoying voice grunted. ‘She trust’s me. I’m not going to change that, besides after everything that’s happened… the trip down to earth to get coffee, the kidnapping this new goddess Death. It’s all too much.’ I sigh, my bare arms resting on the cold tiles of the floor out of the steaming water, my eyes open again as I stare at the cold blue tiles.
‘That’s another thing. This Death character isn’t someone I want getting in the way of the mission at hand.’ My mind spat. “Mission at hand?! All I have to do is survive until my stupid grandfather drops dead!” I scream aloud, My hand crunching into a ball. My mind goes silent, “You don't have anything to say but complaints do you.” I roll my eyes. Another sigh escapes my lips as I let myself sink further into the water. “I won’t let you control me. I will be a good God Of Decision. I’ll be better than my family.”I say. Closing my eyes again. ‘Kani.’ My brain continues. ‘What?’ I ask inside, not wanting to waste my breath. ‘Nisha.’ My brain says. ‘What about her.’ I wonder, annoyed it may suggest I control her again.
‘Propose to her.’ It grunts. This makes me stand up, My eyes shoot open. “What?!” I scream. ‘Propose to Nisha, get her flowers, use the edge stone and say that she’s in danger.’ It continues. I choke on my breath, “W-why?” I say. ‘Nisha is the goddess of love and marriage, it fits her. Plus she’ll say yes.’My brain explained like this was an obvious thing. “Well yeah- but why do I want her to say yes.” I ask, Settling back down into the warm waters.
‘Because she’s powerful.’ It says.
“Why should I care about power?”I ask, more questions filling my head only for ‘my head’ to explain them poorly.
‘God dammit, you want to be a G.o.D don’t you?! Nisha could kill the other gods. including your grandfather. Marry her and convince her to kill your grandfather.’ It screams at me.
“What?! I’m not killing my grandfather!” I protest.
‘Face it Kani! That old man ain’t going nowhere! You have to let me take him down.’ It says, the water around me turns slowly into a black, I hurry out of it. ‘Let me control you Kani! You could have all the power you want!’ I scream at myself once more. The water rises into a hand-like form to reach for me. I ran to the other side of the wash room for a towel. Grabbing one and wrapping it around my waist. I teleport to the lockers where I start to change in a hurry. The fabric sticking to my skin, I see the black water start seeping through the bottom of the bath door. “I don’t power!” I scream reluctantly, running to the holy stairs and throwing myself down. Every step was like a heartbeat as I looked back to see the black water rushing down the stairs following me.
“Oh hey Kani.” A voice says, I look in front of me to see willow walking up the stairs. “Run! RUN! FLOOD!!” I scream, running past her quickly
