Chapter 2 - Celestials

I looked at Abbie and thought "Oh boy, how am I going to lie my way out of this one?" however she looked at me wanting to understand and something inside me compelled me to tell her so I said to her "Lets go sit down, I'll explain everything." We went to a cheap but enjoyable restaurant, which was quite at the time, that didn't help with the explaining and worry that she was feeling. We sat down in a corner stall and ordered our food and drinks, she got a side of fries because she said she wasn't hungry... I know women am I right, I got a large burger and fries since I was pretty hungry, I tried to begin explaining to her, but I couldn't find the words to start. "So uhhh... are you okay...?" she looked at me almost confused and said "What the actual hell just happened out there?! Who was that guy? and what was he saying about a celesty something?" I sighed trying to come to terms with the fact that she heard almost everything that Ben had said, so I explained everything. By the time i was done our food had came but Abbie seemed both too confused and nervous to eat, she began speaking again and said "So your a celestial... and so is that guy Ben, you both are reincarnations of a celestial god, and you both are supposed to be working together to keep balance in both life and death, is that about right?" I sighed again feeling like she doesn't believe a word of what I'm saying but i continue "Yes... and there are 2 other Celestials, the Celestial of Hope and Despair." She began pecking slowly at her fries, not really seeming to want to eat them. "So where are the other 2 celestials?" I stopped eating for a moment and thought on how to answer, trying not to confuse her to Death (haha get it) "The other 2 celestials, Hope and Despair, are the subordinates to both life and death, they are essentially the peace guardians of the Celestials, they are there to make sure Life doesn't try overpower Death and vice versa, however they have not been reincarnated in 400 years..." I leaned in to continue "You see, Benjamin, is over 350 years old, that is why he is stronger than me, and why he speaks as if hes typing in times new roman, he's one of the strongest reincarnated Celestials in recent history...".
