"My name is Pollux. You must be confused, but there's nothing to worry about. I'll answer all your questions. Come on, let's take a walk." Pollux said, gesturing for her to follow him.
The two walked aimlessly through the forest. The image of the two of them together made everything around them more perfect and harmonious. The sun was shining high in the sky, there was a cool breeze, and butterflies were playing around.
"My name is Gaia, you said. Where did he come from?" she asked with a slight frown.
"It is the name of a goddess, given by an ancient culture. Gaia is the goddess of nature, she is mother Earth, the Earth goddess is the primordial goddess of life. That's why I gave you that name because I thought it was appropriate" said Polux with a smile. Gaia sees that smile and can't help but smile too.
"A fitting name for the personification of nature." said Polux holding Gaia's chin. The two look into each other's eyes for a few seconds, the intensity of their gaze makes flowers of different colors sprout around them.
Pollux breaks his gaze and picks an apple from the tree. Pollux bites into the apple and then offers it to Gaia. Gaia takes the apple and bites into it while looking Pollux in the eyes.
After the symbolic event, Gaia feels that a veil has been lifted from her eyes. All knowledge of her as a human was passed on to the apple, along with all human ideas, philosophies and feelings. The innocence of a spotless mind was taken from her the moment she ate the apple.
Taking care of her nudity, Gaia hides behind a tree without letting her body show. Pollux laughed and laughed at the situation, making Gaia's face heat up.
With a wave of Pollux's hand leaves broke free from the trees and surrounded Gaia, almost immediately all of them transformed into a white toga that covered Gaia.
"You can leave now, Gaia. There's nothing I haven't already seen. Let's continue our walk, I'm sure there are more questions in her mind."
Gaia left with a red face, after taking a deep breath she followed behind Pollux.
"You, who raised me right?"
"Yes and no. I created the ultimate seed of nature, and she created your physical body, I just gave you consciousness"
She looked forward with a lost look. The breeze blew strands of her hair, and the butterflies that followed her gave an ethereal look to her figure.
"What is my purpose?"
"Now your purpose is whatever you want it to be. You are a goddess, you are eternal and extremely powerful. You can do whatever you want, isn't that simple?"
Gaia looked at him as if she wanted to say something.
"Say what's on your mind." Pollux said encouragingly.
"I want you to give me a purpose. It's hard to think of something I want, deep down there's a... something trying to tell me what I have to do, but what it wants never reaches me. And I don't want to. Spend eternity with this feeling of wanting something but not knowing what..."
Pollux looked into Gaia's eyes. Deep down, he knew what she wanted.
"Well, you could join me. At the moment we are the only ones with a conscience, I still have to introduce the others to the world."
"What are we? Is this some kind of band?"
"No, of course not. We would be a pantheon of sorts, I'm sure you already know what that is."

"Damn this is awesome" said Pollux smiling.
Gaia looked at him, wondering if he was okay.
Pollux thought about the functionality of the Pantheon. A semi-transparent white screen with just two names opened before his eyes.

Gaia felt a strange connection with Pollux. It felt as if she were connected to him by a very powerful bond.
Gaia and Pollux wandered the continent talking for years. The days passed, the landscapes changed, but they remained immaculate without any marks left by time.
Gradually a relationship formed between the two, but they had to separate. Pollux wanted to use Adam and Eve's model of creation, but Gaia feared the harm humans would do to nature.
"Dear Gaia, I understand your fear. It would hurt my soul to see you suffer." said Pollux with an expression of regret, "But the humans you know come from a world that doesn't exist in this universe. We could guide them to the right path"
Gaia approached Pollux. Her eyes sparkled with mixed emotions. Gaia seemed to be at odds with herself.
"Polux I... I don't think it would work, you're longing for something humans can offer you, I feel it. But I can't... You know I can't."
Pollux cupped Gaia's face and brought her heads together. In her heart, there was pain, but there was also a feeling of certainty.
"Let's make a Deal." said Polux in a soft voice, "I will give you the continent where you were born. I will hide it from the sight of mankind and not let you feel the destruction of life that dwells outside the continent.... Please, Gaia.... Accept"
Gaia pulled away and nodded. She gave Pollux a hug and floated in the skies. Gaia took one last look at Pollux and turned and flew towards the mainland.
