"Roberto my friend the deed is done, you can come in."
The old man Roberto anxiously entered the workshop.
"Really, you did it?"
As he looks at the new toy I created , his mouth went wide open and as he gasps for air.
Where is the jaw dropped though?
Then Roberto's jaw dropped. Ah there it is.
"Ahhh, I can't believe it. That is like creating something out of nothing. This isn't what a mere mortal can do. My friend, who are you? "
"My friend please be silent. The female soul that resides in the vessel might awaken. When she regains consciousnesses she will be confused and afraid. She still has memories from her former life, including the moment where she died. With my supreme technique, I managed to get the soul before it reincarnated, thus she still has her memories. I beg you to be cautious and don't frighten her."
The old man gulped down his salvia.
He looked at me and tried to be calm. Even though he tried his best you could see some trembling.
"My friend, please let me take care of her. She will have no one to depend on."
"She has her free will, it is for her to decide what she want to do."
Roberto nodded with a satisfied smile.
"She is so beautiful, it would be really be heart breaking if something happened to her."
"I see that you are sincere in your words. You can take care of her. She would be much safer with you. Since I am a follower of the madgod I am bound to have enemies. Even though I wish for peace there are still people who do not wish so."
Roberto put on a serious face and went on his knees.
"My friend, I was mistaken about you. Sorry for doubting you, I thought you were a savage, a devil that devours baby hearts for breakfast."
"Woah. Where did that come from? Let me guess, the churchmen of your church are spreading bad rumors about me, to gain the approval from the folk. If the masses are manipulated in to believing that I am a threat, than the folk could pressure the King to act against me."
On the face of Roberto a trace of guilt could be seen.
Still staying on his knees he looks on the ground and says.
"Please take me in as a disciple. Let me call you master."
"Don't, I can't take any disciples. Let's be friends instead."
Roberto nodded.
"Well, that is even better." He stands up again and grins.
Good he thinks that the clone I created is legit. When Roberto takes care of my female clone than I can infiltrate them. I have to act like an innocent young girl that got reincarnated, in doing so Roberto will let his guard down. Time to act.
"Hughhn,huff...Where am I?" I open my eyes. Because I can control all my clones independently and at the same time, it is an easy task for me to act a confused girl.
"You are awake." Roberto raises his voice in excitement.
"Ahh? Where am I. Johnny where are you?" I say while acting like a scared girl.
"You can speak our language? Are you alright? Everything is going to be alright. Calm down."

"My friend her soul is from this world so it is natural that she speaks the common tongue."
"W-where am I? The last thing I can remember is that I was attacked by a pack of wolfs. That's right where is Johnny, my husband? Did you save him ?"
Roberto looks at me with anxious eyes. He seems lost and looks at me with pleading eyes.
"I got it, I'll do it."
"Do what?" (Female vessel)
"I am sorry to say that to you but you are dead, you are reincarnated with your memories intact. Look at yourself the new body of yours should be not be the one you are accustomed to.
Pov Female Vessel (Thorus)
Okay how should I act ? Should I overdo it with much drama or...
"This can't be. I remember that a pack of wolves attacked me and my husband. The memory is still fresh, it is just like it happened a few breaths ago." (Female Vessel)
"You have to look at your chest, surely you notice a difference. Like they seem to be bigger. Look at your hair color it is different right?"
I look and check my body.
"You are right- this..."
"Are you okay young lady?" Roberto tries too encourage me.
Not bad not bad. I like the direction where this is going.
I have to act a typical innocent girl. If I pull it off Roberto will let his guard down. Like this there will be no suspicion about my person. If he is gonna take care of my female vessel it would be like a gift from the heavens. I could sneak in my own spy, myself.
I will blast of his brains with my Oscar worthy acting.
I stand up and and cough once.
"Oh, such tragedy. I a fair maiden have to suffer such fate. My husband Johnny I hope he still is out there. You both have given me another chance. May I know the names of both of you. I must thank you."
Roberto grins hearing that. He rubs his head looking bashful.
"There is no need to thank us. I am Roberto van Libera. I am a holy knight."
"Woahh, a holy knight such honor." I make a courtesy bow.
"Hehehe for a such a fair maiden to compliment me is great, hahaha"
Roberto's laughs at the end sounded a bit forced and awkward. Look at him getting flattered and embarrest.
"And who might you be little kid."
"I am the King of Furor. Thorus the madman"
"What you are a king? At your age? You are amazing, a genius."
"Ahem... For you to say that surely you must jest."
"And so humble."
"Hahaha I don't want to brag but I brought you back from the dead."
"You did it-" I make wide eyes to make it believable that I am surprised.
"I am awesome right?"
It is so easy to compliment myself. I could go on for hours.
"Defiantly yes. Can I make a selfish request... I hope you don't mind.."
"Sure go ahead..."
"Can you be my little brother you are so cute."
"Eh? Ehm.... Why not?"
I approach myself and hug my male vessel.
"Hey I am still a king behave yourself"
"Hahaha... My little brother is so overbearing. Cute"
"Ahem..." Roberto coughs.
"Right. Mr. Van Libera." I stop hugging myself and turn to Roberto.
"Yes?" Roberto smiles, eyes full of anticipation.
"I have a selfish request to make."

"Yes yes please. Just tell me, there is nothing I can't do."
"You remind me of my father. You and him have a resemblance. He used to get flattered easily like you. He died a long time ago. One day he went hunting and never came back... He just wanted to feed his family.."
The face of Roberto changed, his bashful face vanished and a face full of pity appeared. It wasn't only pity showing on his face. His face also looked like that of a loving father. He seems pained and thought full. His eyes gleamed with a desire to help and protect.
Shit... That's scary. My acting is sure on a divine level. For my acting to fool him and make him have such an profound expression. Forget about an Oscar, not even a thousand of those Oscar could be worthy of my acting. It would be like gifting a divine genius a piece of cow shit.
I drop down to my knees and look Roberto in the eyes. My eyes moisten I make a pained face.
"Mr. Van Libera. Please let me be your daughter. When I found out that I was reincarnated I thought I was going to be lonely. The ones I loved may not be here anymore. If you accept me as a daughter I would be so happy. The warmth and caring character of you reminds me so much of my dead father. If you say yes than I could make it through such difficult times and I would feel less lonely. So are you willing?"
Roberto hearing my heart tearing proposal had a face full of joy. He nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, yes of course I am willing. From now on you will be my daughter. We will be family."
"For you to be this caring the heavens are fair indeed. For you to remind me of my passed away father the heavens are too generous to me. For you to accept me as daughter a bond is created.
That bond must be created with me kow towing to you three times.."
Roberto's face goes blank for a moment he stands there with mouth wide open. Ah the wide open mouth I love that reaction.
"Ahem" Roberto coughs regaining his demeanor.
He looks embarrassed and says
"For you to go this far is not necessary. You are my daughter now there is no need to lower yourself."
"What is wrong with paying respect to your parents? You should only kow tow to your parents, master and the goddess Chadera."
Without saying further and giving Roberto time to react I begin to kow tow. I drop my head to the ground like in these Chinese historical dramas. Such style, I always wanted to do this.
"Ay my daughter please." Roberto tried to make me stand up. Dude stop ruining my divine act. I put up my head and look at Roberto with resolute eyes.
"The first kow tow is done to form the bond of family. From now on you are my Father. With this bond we share our worries, hopes and love. We care for each other as it is the will of Heavens."
Roberto noticing how serious I am stops his tries to get me up. He must be thinking that this means a lot to me. And tries not to interrupt me. Such a fool I only do it, because it is some deep ancient Chinese custom. You can't go wrong with this.
I kow tow the second time.
"The second kow tow is to link both of our karma. From now on we share the same fate. Me having bad karma will also make my family have bad karma. Thus I will always act with having my family's happiness in mind."
I raise my head and look into the eyes of Roberto. My act is so profound that it puts tears into the old man's eyes.
I kow tow the third time
"The third kow tow is done too let heavens witness and approve of my sincerity towards my family. Else I will reap bad karma. Let Chadera guide us and have a life in prosper and peace."
I raise my head again.
"Now the three kow tows of Family is done. We have reaped good karma for doing this. I am happy that I could do it with you... Father."
Roberto can't hold back his tears anymore, more and more tear drops fall on the ground.
I stand up and stretch out my arms towards Roberto. He begins to run towards me also stretching his hands out. His face is full of tears. Coming closer a wide smile appears on his face.
That will be a bit disgusting but I must prevail for this act needs to be the most perfect one.
Embracing each other makes me think how cliche this is. This made me run shivers down my spine. It was a like scene in those talk shows where long lost family members reunite again.
"Ahem" I interrupt my touching moment with my male vessel.
"Ah right Father since Thorus is my little brother he is family to right?"
A difficult expression appeared on the face of Roberto. He was in a difficult situation, he didn't want her new gained daughter to be heart broken. But accepting me as family, is trouble some for him because I am the King of Furor and the champion of the mad god."
He seems reluctant to say something and the sweat is breaking out of his trembling body.
"But my daughter Thorus is the King of Furor for me too accept him as my son is a bit..."
"You don't want to daddy? Please, make an exception. He reminds me of my cousin. My poor cousin he died so young he was only five years old when he went into the woods. The heavens where truly jealous of his talent. He died so young. When playing in the woods he encountered a horned bat. Poor Thorlus my cousin not even an intact body of him remained. I had to collect the remains of his body together, to give him a proper burial."
I rub my chest against his arm and make puppy eyes.
"This.. For my daughter to have..." He looks at me with sad eyes if I were his daughter. Any father would feel some kind of sorrow his daughter had such a terrifying experience.
My male vessel looks at Roberto.
Let's make this offer inresistable and difficult to decline.
"Let me call you father Roberto. Even thought I have a father he is such an useless man. It is such a shame having him as a father. Let me cut ties with my current father and let us go into the blissful thing called familyhood. Let me kow tow to you father."
My male Vessel goes down to his knees and kow tows trice in a fast movement. So fast that the hopeless Roberto couldn't even act.
After the last kow tow my male vessel smiles at Roberto.
"Father, Sister... Let us live in peace and prosper."
Roberto stands frozen on the spot his mouth wide open he looks at me and at my male vessel. His mind seems to be in chaos his body start to tremble and he seems like he is on the verge of going crazy.
"What...What Is going ooooooooon?"

8 274Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

“Let an old warrior caution you, there are parts of every tale that are not told. The part where none of those mighty champions died peacefully in their beds.

When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.Divinity is a fantasy series about Raegn Edelgard, a young man who must make his way through a world that is struggling to realize it is, for the second time in its history, teetering on the brink of extinction.
