Some Goddess

Welcome

sssh, don't bother him

“You should head home. I think you need to rest your little head after today,” she said walking away. I watched her leave. I then stood up to go home, then remember I don’t know home. I decided to follow Elena, not like I could call her, she was already walking on air. Of course, Grunt followed me like a good boy he is. I caught site of this tall golden building. It looked like real gold and it was quite high. Next, I saw Elena walked right through one of the windows of the building.

“Oh great. And of course, we’ll to take the stairs,” I complained, slipping through the actual door of the building. Really, long golden staircase and with the gold still not tempting.

“Looks like we’re going to run up. The faster, the better, right Grunt?” Then, I looked the cute thing that gave rather odd and scary bark but that was not going to surprise me anymore.

So, after running up the flight of stairs, we got to the door. My stupid and tired brain forgot the door knob wasn’t a table and leaned on it and of course, I fell as the opened.

“Hello,” I said standing up to look at this council, looking at me, who are of old men seated, Elena standing in front of them.

“What are you doing here?” Elena asked really seriously.

“I see you brought along your powerless nobody of a friend,” one of them said. They were really all judgy in this place.

Wow, I fell into a room of critiques, what a blessed day,” I said dryly.

“Watch your mouth with the council,” Elena said. Wow, so they were a council.

“Elena, please tell your friend he is not welcome here,” the man said.

“Please leave,” Elena said in a low tune. I was not welcome, so I turned around and left, closing the door behind me. Then I and Grunt solemnly started walking down the staircase. About half way down the stairs, I remembered why I came in the first place; I had no destination. Tears could have easily escaped my eyes as I looked back up the stairs. I sighed heavily and immediately started running back up. I reached the room and stopped, panting. Then calming down. I listened. I could hear what was going on inside.

“A failure, Elena, that’s what you are.” It was the voice of the man that sent me out. That old hag was insulting Elena.

“We’ve never had so much loss at a stretch. You, Elena, are a big disgrace to us and this village and you are supposed to be our greatest warrior. The future of our people is not certain, and you can’t even help. We must be very wretched and unfortunate to have you as our best warrior.”

“We might have to take action soon.” This was another person.

With the way you are going, we might either have to fight and die, all warriors, or hide until we are found and killed. Death should stop being a threat to us because that’s how we’re still going to end up with you in charge of our security.”

“and then it’s no surprise to us,” another one said.

“With the kind of friend you have, an outcast, low life, nobody, your only friend, it was bound to affect you and now the whole village has to suffer for your poor taste in friends. It’s our fault for letting him live…” I pressed down the door knob and pushed the door open.

“I hope I’m not disturbing,” I asked trying not to make it obvious I was eavesdropping.

“What are you doing here?” Elena asked coldly, not even turning back to look at me.

“I remembered I don’t know the way home,” I said and to the Chiefs, “Oh and by the way, you guys could really use an elevator.”

“You guys,” one mocked, feeling insulted.

“Elevator? Is that some kind of death trap for faster effect?” Another asked mockingly obviously.

“Well that depends on how you think of it and who is using it,” I replied with a smile.

“We do not need your presence,” that grumpy one said.

“Neither do I but I’m here for Elena …”

“Victor!! Respect the council! What has got into you?” Elena interrupted. I was quiet.

“Miss Elena, the discussion is over. You may now leave.” Elena didn’t argue. She took a bow and walked right past me. I followed her, not like I knew where to go. She said nothing and just walked all the way.” I knew I wasn’t in the place to talky, so I quietly followed behind with Grunt. She literally walked me straight to the house and then said, “here is your house. I hope you are back to yourself by tomorrow morning.” Then she left. It was a small thatched house with a curtain door, free from neighbors alone and small, at least that was what I thought. As I opened the door the building was a lot bigger on the inside. A duplex from the inside. A beautiful simple duplex! I suddenly realized that I was tired and went to look for my bedroom. It wasn’t that hard to find. ‘Master’s Bedroom” was written on the door. I opened my room door. What did I see? A very beautiful room spoilt by the sight of the unknown woman from the forest on my bed.

“You’ve arrived,” she greeted with a smile.

“Again, who are you?” I asked.

“Me?”

“Yes, you.”

“I’m your guide throughout your journey.”

“Wait, so you know I’m not from here?”

“Yes.”

“And you’ll help me return?”

“No.”

“What?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“I’ll help you to adapt only, not return.”

“Then I don’t need you because I don’t want to adapt; you can leave now,” I said, showing her the door. She smiled.

“I’ll leave but I’ll tell you this. You’re the only member of this dimension without powers and you need those for whatever it is you want to do.”

And how do I get them?” I asked. The information seemed important.

“You just need to start thinking with your second mind…” I echoed, “what the hell is that?” But she was gone.

“Helloo, can you at least tell me who I’m supposed to be?”

“A calm gentle warrior with a good heart, Elena’s only friend. A child found in ashes with no powers. An outcast, adios,” then she was gone again.

“Found in the ashes with no powers huh? Hard life.” I then bounced on my bed to deep sleep.
