Chapter 4 - The Light Gods

A flash of light explodes like a supernova in the distance of space. As this light dimmers down, a god takes the form of a man-like shape the size of a star with no features. It's surrounded by an aura that looks like a white wall with a red base having similar inscriptions to The One's blue and golden wall you saw earlier.

" ᴍʏ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴ. ᴀᴀᴛᴜ. ɢᴏᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴛɪᴍᴇ, ʙᴀʟᴀɴᴄᴇ, ᴘᴇʀꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇʟᴇᴍᴇɴᴛꜱ. ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ɴᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ɴᴇᴜᴛʀᴀʟɪᴛʏ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ᴇʟᴅᴇꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴ, ᴀᴀᴛᴜ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴏᴠᴇʀꜱᴇᴇ ʜɪꜱ ꜱɪx ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ꜱɪʙʟɪɴɢꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴇɴꜱᴜʀᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʙᴀʟᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ʙᴇ ʀᴇꜱᴛᴏʀᴇᴅ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪᴛ ɪꜱ ᴅɪꜱʀᴜᴘᴛᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜɪꜱ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀʙꜱᴏʟᴜᴛᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴘᴀᴄᴇ. "

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he speaks to Aatu.

" ɢᴏ, ᴍʏ ꜱᴏɴ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

" ꋬꇙ ꌦꄲ꒤ ꅐ꒐ꇙꁝ, ꊰꋬ꓄ꁝꏂꋪ. "

Aatu says in a soft tone before he disappears into his own dimension.

Looking off into the vastness of space, you then begin to see the stars glow a bright blue and melt together into a purple amorphous collective of fire and plasma. Out of this plasma, a pair of bright blue burning wings the size of many planets emerge. You can feel the warmth of this being as it glows hotter and brighter despite it being hundreds of millions of miles away. Then suddenly, the wings open and you see a burning man-like god take shape before you. Its right arm morphs into a great blade and in its left hand it appears to be holding some kind of bird. Again, this being is surrounded by another aura. This time the wall is golden and black with the same similar inscriptions.

" ᴍʏ ꜱᴇᴄᴏɴᴅ ꜱᴏɴ. ɪᴢᴀᴇʟ. ɢᴏᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴏʀᴅᴇʀ, ʜᴏɴᴏʀ, ᴍɪɢʜᴛ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴊᴜꜱᴛɪᴄᴇ. ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴀʟʟ ᴀɴɢᴇʟꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ʟᴀᴡꜰᴜʟɴᴇꜱꜱ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ꜱᴇᴄᴏɴᴅ ꜱᴏɴ, ɪᴢᴀᴇʟ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴇɴᴄᴏᴜʀᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴛᴀɪɴ ᴏʀᴅᴇʀ ᴀᴍᴏɴɢꜱᴛ ᴛʜᴇᴍꜱᴇʟᴠᴇꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴇʀᴠᴇ ᴊᴜꜱᴛɪᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴏꜱᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ɪᴛ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜɪꜱ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀʙꜱᴏʟᴜᴛᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ꜰᴀᴛᴇ. "

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he speaks to Izael.

" ɢᴏ, ᴍʏ ꜱᴏɴ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

" ꒐꓄ ꅐ꒐꒒꒒ ꃳꏂ ꒯ꄲꋊꏂ, ꊰꋬ꓄ꁝꏂꋪ. "

Izael says in a deep authoritative tone before he disappears into his own dimension.

A colorful liquid begins to gather from across the stars and culminates into one point in space. Then a bubble begins to grow from the liquid larger and larger, and you notice a fetus inside of it. As this bubble grows, the fetus ages from a fetus to a baby to a toddler to a child to a teen to a man all in the span of seconds. As you see the being growing, you notice that you can see the brain inside the god's head. The brain is brighter than a thousand stars and again, this god has yet another aura around it. This time the aura is every color and the inscriptions on the wall are more indistinct than the others.

" ᴍʏ ᴛʜɪʀᴅ ꜱᴏɴ. ɴᴏᴇʜ. ɢᴏᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴋɴᴏᴡʟᴇᴅɢᴇ, ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀɪᴇꜱ, ᴡɪꜱᴅᴏᴍ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏɢɪᴄ. ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ʜᴜᴍᴀɴɪᴛʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀꜱᴛᴀɴᴅɪɴɢ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ᴛʜɪʀᴅ ꜱᴏɴ, ɴᴏᴇʜ ᴡɪʟʟ ʜᴇʟᴘ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ᴀᴛᴛᴀɪɴ ᴋɴᴏᴡʟᴇᴅɢᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴜɴᴅᴇʀꜱᴛᴀɴᴅɪɴɢ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ʜɪꜱ ᴏᴍɴɪꜱᴄɪᴇɴᴄᴇ. "

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he speaks to Noeh.

" ɢᴏ, ᴍʏ ꜱᴏɴ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

" ꉔꏂꋪ꓄ꋬ꒐ꋊ꒒ꌦ, ꊰꋬ꓄ꁝꏂꋪ. "

Noeh says in an old wise tone before he disappears into his own dimension.

You begin to hear beautiful singing behind you as the fourth god begins to manifest. By the time you turn around to look in the direction that the singing is coming from, you feel the warm embrace of the most beautiful woman you've ever seen. Her rosie arms glow beautifully and feel softer than silk. As you're in her embrace, you feel as if you and her are one person. You get an unexplainable impression that she can feel your emotions just as if you're feeling them right now. She looks up at you and giggles a bit before letting go of you and standing back in front of her aura. Her aura is yet another wall, this time being pink and having more delicate inscriptions than the others. You take the time to notice that it seems as if she has stepped out of her aura to come and give you a hug as she stands in front of it smiling at you gently instead of being inside of the aura like the other gods.

" ᴍʏ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ᴅᴀᴜɢʜᴛᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴏᴜʀᴛʜ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ. ꜰᴀᴇʀᴀʜ. ɢᴏᴅᴅᴇꜱꜱ ᴏꜰ ʙᴇᴀᴜᴛʏ, ʟᴏᴠᴇ, ᴍᴇʀᴄʏ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴜᴄᴋ. ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴀʟʟ ꜰᴀᴇʀɪᴇꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴇᴍᴘᴀᴛʜʏ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ᴅᴀᴜɢʜᴛᴇʀ, ꜰᴀᴇʀᴀʜ ᴡɪʟʟ ɢᴜɪᴅᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ᴇɴᴅᴇᴀᴠᴏʀꜱ ᴏꜰ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴇᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ꜱᴛʀɪꜰᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛᴏᴛᴀʟ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛʀᴜᴍ. "

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he speaks to Faerah.

" ɢᴏ, ᴍʏ ᴅᴀᴜɢʜᴛᴇʀ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

Faerah gives you a smug glance before responding to The One.

" ꄲꀘ꒐ꏂ ꒯ꄲꀘ꒐ꏂ, ꒯ꋬ꒯. "

Faerah says in a friendly tone.

You try your best to contain your laughter but by the time you catch yourself, Faerah is already giggling and it causes you to lose your composure. After you and Faerah laugh for a moment, she gives you a wink and says one last thing before disappearing into her own dimension.

" ꃳꏂ ꇙꏂꏂ꒐ꋊꍌ ꌦꄲ꒤ ꋬꋪꄲ꒤ꋊ꒯, ꉔꁝꄲꇙꏂꋊ ꄲꋊꏂ. "

The One reads your thoughts.

" ꜱᴛᴏᴘ. ɪᴛ'ꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴ. ɪ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʙʟᴀᴍᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜɪɴᴋɪɴɢ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴡᴀʏ, ᴀꜱ ᴀʟʟ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ. ꜱʜᴇ ɪꜱ ᴀ ɢᴏᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ᴀ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ʙᴏᴛʜ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ ꜰᴏʀ ᴀ ꜱᴘᴇᴄɪꜰɪᴄ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴏᴛʜ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴏꜱᴇ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇꜱ ᴀꜱ ɪ ᴡɪꜱʜ. "

You begin to think about how pleasant and nice these gods are turning out to be. Aatu, Izael, Noeh, and Faerah all seem like they're awesome and really good gods to have in this universe.

The One interjects into your thoughts.

" ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴀᴀᴛᴜ, ɪ ꜱᴀɪᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ ᴀ ʙᴀʟᴀɴᴄᴇ. ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ꜱᴇᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇ ɢᴏᴅꜱ ᴏꜰ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ, ʙᴜᴛ ɴᴏᴡ ɪᴛ ɪꜱ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴡɪᴛɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋ ɢᴏᴅꜱ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ꜱɪʙʟɪɴɢꜱ. "

Your stomach turns as an overwhelming sense of fear and nervousness washes over you. You know things are only going to get worse from this moment going forward…
