"Believe me or not, there's no hope for your kind. The ones like you, that had hope in restoration, in a second chance, just like you do. They that believed there was a way in which I could help them but withheld from them, they all ended up disappointed. Like I said, it's not too late to enjoy your existence," The lady said.
"So what? You let everyone of them vanish like that? Become a thought that never came to being? Is that it? How many of my type have you let down? How many damned souls like me have you watched go into oblivion?" Alex yelled and his voice echoed through the vicinity.
"Answer me!!!! How many have come and go?!?...A hundred? Thousand?... A million?!!!" Alex beckoned on the goddess to answer but all she did was stand still, gazing at him like there was no one there talking to her to begin with. Alex at that point reading the facial expression of the lady figured out something.
'This is the first time she's showing genuine emotions. I can tell what she's thinking right now," Alex thought in his mind and just then, the lady turned around again, got to the entrance door of the indoor pool and waved her hand to exit the place but just then, two hands grabbed onto her by the shoulders.
Alex had launched himself on her but by accident, his hand slipped from her shoulders and he ended up cupping her breasts.
His hand grabbed onto them for safety like his life depended on it. Anchoring himself from falling by grabbing onto the lady's breast didn't occur to him until he got his footing right, stood erect and noticed where he was holding onto.
For a moment then, it was as though his life had flashed before him and if he had to guess, holding onto the soft big breasts of the goddess might as well be the greatest thing he had laid his hands on.
Unwilling to let go at first until he saw the still composure from the goddess's expressjon. He also managed to get a good look at had gone back to an unemotional and an unreadable one.
"What's she thinking? She's not even yelling at me to let go. Does she like it? .. I'm starting to think she doesn't feel touch otherwise why would she let me hold on to her titties this way?!!" Alex got distracted with the lady's huge breast and completely forgot about his main cause of concern earlier.
He tried to squeeze on the plumpy melons with round and pink nipples that stared straight at him but at that moment, it felt like everything for a second paused and next thing he knew, the breasts he so fondly groped somehow became intangible and left his grasps, almost like they were never held by him.
The lady didn't say a word about what had happened but instead pointed out something entirely different.
"Hmm, I thought for sure it would work. It's no longer staring at me," she said and Alex at that moment traced her eyes to where she was looking to see she was referring to his dick.
The lady turned around again and waltzed her way through the door and looked back to see Alex was still standing just outside the door.
No reaction from her as he grabbed her beautiful large breasts made Alex all the more excited. Alex found his flaccid penis now flexing all the muscles packed in it.
Throbbing hard through the white garment he had hurriedly put on as he came out of the water. It was though no healing had taken place because his dick had resumed its erect position yet again. But this time, Alex could feel the pain from the hardening effect of his dick.
He noticed his dick was working all fine now. It would go down and then come back up not like before when it was stuck erected all through. Truly, the water did work magic, Alex thought. But how did it manage to tire his dick out? He imagined.
"If you weren't so difficult, I'd have loved to fuck the hell out of you, at least before I die, again,"
As the lady walked in front, she could tell the different things running through Alex's mind but managing to shuffle through, she picked one and answered.
"The souls that have visited here haven't lasted that much. Again, you waste your time seeking help from me," she said to Alex, not mixing words one bit or trying to sugarcoat it.
Alex felt the bluntness in her words and a deep furrow appeared on his face as he figured out something. He realized the lady failed to answer his question.
"You don't remember, do you?" Alex asked in an almost mumble tone. His voice had gone down to the minimum volume that his words were barely perceptible yet the lady could hear everything he said. "You have lost count of how many have come here.
They are too much you don't even remember their numbers. Now my question remains, what then is your purpose?" Alex asked plainly as well. His eyes and the lady's met and at that moment he forgot everything and was just demanding answers to questions he asked.
"Huh?!! You say every being in the universe has a purpose and until their course is done, they don't get called back. What is your purpose then?!! Watching innocent souls die and standing there watching?!!!! Tell me, what do you exist for?!!!" Alex barked like a raving madman at that point. He stood fiercely at the door demanding answers as he coughed out more from his mouth.
"My purpose? Well, just like you, I'm still trying to find it. I mean, I came here and have lived here for who knows how long?! I have spent the better part of my existence watching other existences like myself completely seize to exist. So, when you ask again probably after a thousand years, that's if you live that long, then perhaps I might have an answer to that question," the lady responded without barting an eye.
"You came here? So you don't own this place?...." Alex struggled to piece it altogether but he had a feint idea of where he was headed... It finally clicked...
..."Wait a minute, you are just like me?!!" Alex asked with enthusiasm. He saw the prospects that the lady before him might not just be what he thought going off by what she said.
He remained composed in a way so as not to upset her because at the end, he needed answers from her and it didn't look to him like if she chose not to answer, he could simply walk over to someone else and ask because there was no one else. They were basically trapped together.
"I'm not like you. You will seize to exist one day and die for the final time. I on the other hand, I can't die. I mean, I haven't been able to die, just yet," the lady said.
"Wait, what?!! That doesn't make sense. If I'm guessing correctly, you also died and came here right? Then why is everyone else gone and only you left in the house of steps?" Alex inquired from the lady.
" I don't know. All I know is I came here and met some that later on along the line passed on to become unfulfilled desires, thoughts or ideas. I remained and more came to meet me and left just as well but not once have I felt like I'm close to my own end of time.Not once have I felt like I would be close to finally resting," The lady said to Alex with a tone that showcased a bit of a lot being held back. Alex could tell now that she wasn't what he had pictured in his head to be.
Just like him, the lady he had been referring to as a goddess was also a broken soul, perhaps even more broken than himself. He gritted his teeth for having to feel bad and at the same time being unable to look away from her succulent breasts.
It was a battle of will going on whereby he had to sympathize with her but then again, at the same time, how could he when before him was a naked lady who had the body of a celestial being?!!
'The agony..' Alex confessed to the hard work he was doing alone to put up total concentration on the issue at hand.
"So you never asked any of them what the signs are or feels like before they pass on? I'd like to know if I'm dying this time around and prepare well for it," Alex said to the lady.
"They never saw me that way. After the ones I met were lost, the new ones came in and saw me the same way you did, a god. At first I was going to tell them I was just like them but then again, that would be a lie. I then became comfortable with being looked at as a god," Nebula said, turning to Alex, who stared at her with a look of understanding.
"You know, being called a god by the numerous lost souls gave me a sense of purpose so I adopted the title and went with it. The magic that I can do is something that developed on its own over time. Strange things happen in this house that I don't even have explanations to. Like who built it and where we are exactly in this vast space," Said the lady.
"Hmmph...so this is it. We will both be stuck here till whenever. That's a quite an underwhelming way to spend the rest of my existence!" Alex confessed to not being a big fan of the idea at all.
"Now that I know you are no god, don't you think it would do us both some good if you tell me your name?" Alex requested.
"My name is..." The lady was going to say before a loud blaring sound echoed through the glass house. It was loud and disturbing, almost like an alarm.
"What was that?!" Alex asked as he uncovered his ears from the loud noise. But at that moment, he noticed the lady was gone and out of panic, he ran through the door only to find her already six steps above him on one of the numerous stairs. He called out to her and said...
"Is something wrong? Is it time? Am I dying, again?!!" Alex feared as he asked and even more so the moment the lady turned around and answered...
"No, there's another arrival," she said.
