Chapter 2 - Free Thinking

After a long time of thinking and responding to his own questions, the skeleton decided to do something instead of wallowing in its own despair.

--

There's no use sitting here in my own sadness. I don't know what to do next. But I can tell.. this pool of water.. it's calling me. Drawing me towards it. It won't disappear from my mind, incessantly whispering provocatively to my soul.

So I touched it. I didn't understand much of what happened next, I just was transported to another space, it was also like I was everywhere at once and knew everything that happened in this space. There were a few animals and human-like things, a few tribes. Then it hit me, I knew what was going on here.

A stream of information originating only from what could be called an endless void that came from the foundation of this dimension itself instantly entered my head. I was confused, but calm. It told me that I was this world's god, I could fast forward time, reverse it, anything. The goal of this space is to create the ultimate being. I can bring only 2 of these "creations" to my space in the real world.

I don't even know what use that would be, I'm just a skeleton stuck in a dark land, though I feel I felt the same way when I was alive. I guess I should create some goals for myself to progress my life. Might as well live... whatever this is new life of mine is. Or, death I suppose.

4th Year of the Calendar of Siverra

-------

We were attacked yesterday, there were some Bulls and Rats that rushed into our tribe and tried to kill us all. Thanks to me, Flanka, we survived. But some people don't see it that way. My tribe chief told me that I ruined the tribe. I don't understand, those sacrifices were necessary. The leader doesn't know anything at all, why would he think that I'd blindly follow an atheist leader! For I know the truth, God saved us yesterday, and he will be remembered.

----------

So I've decided to travel down and meet some of this tribespeople. I immediately noticed that they can't see or hear me. Great. Just as I was about to leave they were suddenly getting attacked by enormous monsters, I don't even know what I'd describe it as. They ran all the way to the tribe's walls and devoured everything in their path. I couldn't just let them die, what kind of god should I be? What would I be?

After some thought, I moved a tree and sharpened it with my power in the dimension, then impaled them all in one go! I'm not going to interfere too much to see how things progress, but I will do at least this much. In the real world, I can't seem to feel much if anything at all, here I feel some sort of love and affection for them. What's happening to me? What put me here?
