Call me Princess Diana. It is much simpler and more convenient. If I introduce myself by my real name as the goddess Diana, there may be skepticism and misunderstanding.
My status as a goddess is long gone. The gods left the earth and the goddess Diana had to fly away with them. I did not want to fly away. I fell in love with this planet.
However, a goddess could not remain on Earth in her usual status, having power in the air, on the ground and underground. I was offered a choice of the status of a princess, the status of a queen and the status of a witch.
The status of the queen of Iceland was immediately eliminated. I do not like and cannot stand the cold.
The status of a witch was not considered by me at all. I knew in advance what they would do with female witches in Europe and the USA.
Some of the paranormal abilities were left to me, or in other words, they could not take away from me what is inherent in my nature. For example, becoming invisible or visible at will.
And by the way, you can easily imagine what I look like. Find a picture of Diana of Versailles. That's definitely me.
As in every bad thing there is always good, so in every good thing there is always bad. The status of Princess Diana was possible only on that part of planet Earth known as Cambodia. I had to agree.
Now I am a princess, a member of the royal family, named Arun Ramses. For you, I am still Princess Diana.
And yes, my autonomy was limited. Mentor is watching over me. Perhaps he looks like a Warden, but I have never seen him. He exists only in the form of my inner voice. By the way, are you sure that your inner voice is really your inner voice?
So, until now, my Mentor as my inner voice has never told me what I should do. He always tells me what I SHOULD NOT do.
Unexpectedly today, the Mentor told me WHAT I SHOULD DO.
Tonight at midnight, be near the Central Tower of the Angkor Wat temple. Take your usual weapons: a bow and arrows and an AK-47, - the Mentor told me.
Sometimes he was very perceptive and could seem to foresee the future. Sometimes he did not see obvious things, as if he were looking through a cloudy glass.
And now, he ordered me to be near the Central Tower of the Angkor Wat temple, as if he did not know that I live there. I mean, when I am invisible, I live there. This is my place of power and the largest temple complex on planet Earth. It was one of the houses of the gods in their time.
I never had conflicts with the Mentor, as I felt his ability to paralyze me at any time. Not that he threatened me with this. No, that was not the case. However, I just knew: the Mentor can turn me off at any moment like some kind of faulty part.
- There is an underground passage in the Central Tower, or rather an underground exit - Mentor told me. - Enter there exactly at midnight and become invisible. Keep your AK-47 at the ready. Be ready to fire in bursts.
I didn't answer, but just nodded my head. Mentor seemed to see my nod and disappeared, as if he had switched off. He didn't know that I knew when he was with me and when he wasn't. This was my advantage over him. What good did I need this advantage for?
Exactly at midnight, I moved a 4-ton sandstone slab, went down the steps into the underground passage and found myself in a fairly large room, 40x40 feet.
From this room, or rather, depending on how you look at it, a fairly wide underground tunnel filled with water was exiting or entering. The air in the room was surprisingly fresh and pleasant, similar to a sea breeze. A dim, pleasant light filled the entire room.
Looking around, I came to the conclusion that this room was most likely some kind of underground pier for a motorboat. Although where would a motorboat come from underground, I thought.
- Become invisible and get ready, the mentor ordered me. I obediently followed his order. Moreover, I took a prone position and aimed my trusty and reliable AK-47 at the place on the improvised underground pier where the motorboat was supposed to moor. My machine gun became invisible along with me.
When I say fire, you will open fire and kill three people, Mentor told me imperiously. - I repeat, open fire only on my command, wait until the people climb onto the pier and kill them all with one burst from an AK-47, - Mentor's voice turned into a mental order.
Here Mentor made his first mistake. The thing is that no one can give mental orders to a Goddess, even a former one, even in the status of Princess Diana. Such a mental order is a gross insult to a divine person. "Unacceptable behavior" - that's what it is called in the language of the Gods.
- One unacceptable behavior can be forgiven, two unacceptable behaviors never, says the divine code of the Constellation of Berenice's hair.
I did not show that I realized Mentor's mistake and only nodded my head in response, in the order acceptance shank. Mentor immediately disconnected. Apparently, events required his presence in several places at once.
I began to breathe evenly, calming my breathing before shooting. When my breathing returned to normal, I took the machine gun off safety, took aim, but did not touch the trigger yet. The result did not satisfy me. Having moved two meters to the right, I placed the barrel of the machine gun on a rock of suitable height, aimed at the place where the motorboat passengers were supposed to land, and froze. Invisible and purposeful, I was ready to open fire on command or open fire without it.
Two hours passed. It was long past midnight. I waited patiently. Only inexperienced newbies think that the target appears as soon as you take up a position in ambush.
Quite the opposite. You must be in ambush long before the target arrives. Otherwise, a routine check may detect your arrival in an ambush. Minus six hours, that's a good minimum time to take up a position.
I can calmly remain motionless for twelve hours. Without distraction, without frustration, I stared at the edge of the pier and waited. Time has no meaning for a former goddess and princess named Diana.
