When she was unconscious and about to die, she felt a wet flowing sensation on her lips and tongue. She could guess it, as water. But, for some reason this water tasted sweet. But, as she was hungry for so long, water won't help her. After some time, a sweet pulp like something entered her mouth, it was quite sweet. Its taste was like honey, she has never eaten something like this. Only a few sips were needed to wake her up. And, when she woke up, she saw two golden eyes staring at her. She saw a cute androgynous face with long flowing silver blonde hair. From his looks, he appeared to be similar age as her. She saw a wide smile appear on this person's face, seeing her open her eyes...
" So, mother's fruits are really effective. I wish, I could see her. But, there is no need to worry, I would find her one day for sure. It was 5 years ago, when Uncle Azrael, handed me this fruit saying it is a gift from my mother. And, I still couldn't forget anything about this fruit. I never expected, I could replicate that fruit this perfectly, as if planned before hand to feed me every information about this fruit, which I would never forget. " He murmured.
She heard the boy murmur about some fruit given by his mother. So, that pulp was made from those fruits. Well, It was quite heavenly, said to be least. And, if only that was the thing. Now, her whole body was now brimming with energy. She could survive another month without food now with this much energy, but only if she doesn't waste it, unnecessarily....
" Hey! Are you okay? I saw you, unconscious in the middle of the forest. You weren't responding, when I tried to wake you up, so I made you drink water but you still didn't respond, so I made you drink a very special thing. So, how are you feeling now?" Her thoughts were interrupted only when, this boy said something. She then realised her position, her head was placed on his lap, and she was sleeping in the middle of the forest. As a 10 year old girl, she doesn't have basic knowledge about those things, she was just slightly embarrassed to sleep here in the middle of the forest. She quickly got up, and bowed to the person who saved her life. She really felt indebted to this person for saving her life. As most people in Godverse, would simply ignore her and leave to perish.
" Thanks for saving my life. I haven't eaten anything for month, and as a newly ascended God, I don't have much knowledge to survive in this world. So, I am indebted to you, for saving me."
" Well well! Don't mind that. And, you don't need to feel indebted for anything. It was my decision to help you. And, if you haven't eaten anything for a month now, then let me help you. Although I am not proficient in creating much food stuff till now, I could at least, create a bread and a glass of water for you." The boy wasn't only pretty to eyes. He was also well mannered. But, she was a little confused when he started murmuring to himself in the last, although she could hear what he is saying but she couldn't make head and tail of what he is saying. What create? Is he going to take here? But there are no utensils and ingredients, for cooking. And, now that she looked closely, the boy is only wearing a black shirt and black pants, not carrying any bag or any stuff, with him.
She then saw the boy close his eyes, after that she saw his extend his both hands. She saw nothing happen for a few minutes. She was a little confused, but when she was about to interrupt him to ask what he was doing she saw a something started appearing on his hand, for some time she couldn't understand what it was but after some time everything became clear. She saw a loaf of bread being created before her own eyes.
" Here take this! And, wait for a second." She was handed the load of bread, she squeezed it lightly to confirm its texture and she could say the bread is very soft and it is also warm for some reason, like it was taken out of oven a few minutes ago. She saw the boy close his eyes again, them after a while a bottle of water and a knife appear on his hand.
" Sorry I couldn't create much as I don't know their taste or how they are prepared. So, you have to work with it. But, you could rest assured that the bread is tasty, after all I have replicated the taste of the bread prepared by Uncle Azrael. And, his bread and tea are unparalleled." He apologized, because he couldn't create much now. But, what she was shocked about was, how easily he admitted he created it. As, she is a newbie, she could have even believed it, if he told her that he took out the thing from a storage item, like that simple but beautiful bracelet on his right hand, made from a bark of a tree.
She decided to first fill her stomach, she searched for a spot and found one under the tree. She was about to cut the bread then she saw there is nothing to put it on. As if also realising the issue, the young boy came near her and gave her a cutting board.
" Sorry, I forgot to create it before." The boy said, while averting his eyes, he was a little embarrassed to do this small mistake. He didn't see, but a small smile formed on the face of Amaya. After cutting the bread and filling her stomach, she took the last slice of the bread and took it towards the boy, who was sitting on the ground not so distance away, while watching the sun set. It is really confusing, that instead of this world revolving around the sun, it is the sun and moon revolving around it due to its sheer size, equaling to a megaverse due to so many dimensions.
" Oh Thanks!" He took the slice and ate it joyfully, this bread must be his favourite. He said his uncle used to prepare it.
She sat besides him and started watching the sun set. She was really entranced by its beauty. " Hey, so where were you going, before then?" She decided to start the conversation.
" Oh! I don't have a fixed location. I am simply on my journey to find some promising gods for my future pantheon. My uncle told me, that if I want to rule this Godverse, then strength isn't the only thing... but I would also need companions who could support me. So, I want to create the strongest pantheon to ever exist. He would also join my pantheon, when I would turn 17 and register my pantheon. *Sigh* It has been 3 years since I last saw him." The boy, happily said about his goal of the journey without even caring, about what others would think if they heard this unbelievable goal of his. 'Ruling Godverse', there has been no one capable till now to claim the throne of Godverse, even she as a newly ascended God has been fed this information.
" Are you serious, about it?" Amaya, asked in a disbelief.
" Yes! I am 100% serious about it. I would need to become the Lord of the Godverse, if I want to change the Godverse." The boy turned towards her, and said seriously. Amaya couldn't see any hint of doubt in his eyes. As a Goddess of Darkness, she could sense dark emotions. But, there wasn't a hint of those thoughts in this boy. She then thought about it, till now the boy hasn't even invited her to join his pantheon, but she was thinking about it joining after hearing the conviction in his tone.
" So, let's part ways here." The boy got up from where he was sitting and turned towards her.
She also got up and instead of saying goodbye like what he expected, she said " I am Amaya, a newly ascended goddess of darkness. I don't know much about my potential, but I want to be part of that eccentric goal of yours. If you would allow, I want to join your pantheon when I turn 17." She said all of this in one breath. She doesn't know why she wanted to join so badly, but something was telling her to join on his journey....
For the first time since she saw him, the boy was literally surprised now. He simply thought to help a passerby as he has nothing to lose to help someone, but who would have thought he would gain the first member of his pantheon, like this. A wide smile formed on his lips and he extended his right hand, " I am Ark, a newly awakened God of Creation, and the one who is going to be the future Lord of the Godverse. It is my pleasure, to invite you as the first member of my pantheon."
Amaya shook hands with Ark, marking their new companionship, which would transcend even spacetime.....
