Burning Soul

“I can’t answer everything, I am not in the position to do so, but I can give you a hint. Maybe that’ll help you find some answers”

She sat down beside him before continuing,

“I can tell you why these people are after you,

The Gods you all know are not as they are pictured at all! Let me tell you why.

There was a time when the original Gods felt that they were not enough to help the living with everything and they needed people to help them in their tasks as well. That time was really chaotic, before the fall of Serena or even before any recorded history! The world was quite new, the Original Gods had somehow managed to brush life in this world and now they were to protect it from anything and everything.

They knew that there are many more Worlds like the one they live and this newly originated life was going to be their target, also the Astral Beasts from the never ending depths of the Void of Space, you get the idea of what they were dealing with!

Serena was one of the original Gods who was responsible for the creation of this world, she was one of the few Gods who were fond of every living being, may it be Mortals or Demonoids, she was really a kind God.

But she was also one of the strongest, being the youngest of them all, she was pampered by other Gods, though when it came to strength, she was unrivalled, only God of Creation could take her on if it ever came to that!

I believe her strength was feared by many Gods and other beings as well! But after the chaos got everyone for good, the Gods thought of allowing Mortals to enjoy their strength so that they could help them in the astral wars that they were fighting in order to defend the new world. The God of Creation and God of Nemesis developed artefacts, the ones used to ascend to GodHood!

But they missed one fundamental thing, the newly arrived Gods were Mortals, and Mortals are emotion-driven. Greed, Envy, Lust, Hunger; these were the sins Mortals could never give up!

The new Gods were once Human after all! No matter how wise!

I believe that is why these new Gods are getting involved in things that they shouldn’t. After the Original gods went into Slumber, there was no one to put them on the check!

I can’t say anything more on this matter as that's just my speculation, but I hope you’ll understand the things as you move further!

Also, at the time of Serena’s fall, she was one of five existing original Gods! Now you know what might be the situation in Heavens!

And as of other dangers, I talked about the astral wars, well there are still some scars left from that era!

As for why you were the one chosen, you know that yourself, you just haven’t realised it yet kid!

At the right time, you’ll know it for sure!”

Hearing her explanation was a totally new thing for him, ‘Gods were involved in this! I couldn’t have thought!’ Theo could only wonder for now about the matters at his hands.

“They say her habit of helping everyone got her for good! Well, we can’t be so sure until we find her!” She stood up and gave him a hand.

“You are leaving tomorrow right? I personally would like you to stay longer as I don’t usually have guests over here, but that’ll be selfish of me! There are a few things I want to share with you all tomorrow. Rest well until then!” She turned around saying so,

“So this is one of many pieces of this puzzle, and what does she mean by I know why me!

If I knew….” He looked back up to gaze at the stars for a brief moment before turning in. He had to prepare for his departure.
