《The Book of The Gods》Chapter 4: Sleepover
Advertisement
I walked out of the bathroom, to be greeted by Mrs. Apate. I was oddly surprised by the fact that she waited outside for me. "Don't you want to dress up CJ?" She asked "Umm, yeah… I wanna dress up for when daddy gets here." I said twirling my left ponytail. "That's sweet." She smiled, holding out her hand for me to follow her. We went to her guest room, I stood in awe at the size of the door. "Claudia, we have a young lady as a guest." She called as she opened the door. I was astonished by the beauty of the room. Every color was displayed in a beautiful array, like a new world. The glistening of the walls and sparkles of the ceiling amazed me more and more. "Wow!" I gasped in amazement. "You like it?" She giggled. "Mmm-hmm." I nodded, stepping onto a furry carpet. I hesitated, looking down on the floor. My bare feet sank into the fur of a white and black striped carpet. The entire floor was carpeted with striped fur that looked like it was from a white tiger. Mrs Apate sat on the bed looking at me with a smile. The bed was huge, like daddy's bed but even bigger. The sheets were themed in a purple galaxy. Even the smell of the room was wonderful. Like sweet due and cherries in a magical forest.
"Tell me what you like." She said kindly, gently brushing her hand on the bed, the spot right next to her. "Okay." I sat. My eyes were still glistening with wonder. "I like flowers, and the color pink. I really like the color yellow and fluffy pillows." I replied. "Yes, those are nice things." She agreed. "Oooh I really like doggies too! They're Adorable!" I screeched. "Is that so?" She giggled. "Mm-hmm." I nodded proudly. "Don't you like astronomy?" She asked. "What's astrownomy?" I curiously asked. "Well it's looking at stars and space. Don't they look pretty?" She continued. "Yes they're beautiful! I like these too!" I said falling back unto the bed. Her hair spread out onto the bed as she did the same.

Knock, Knock, Knock* "Lady Wilis? May I come in?" A young lady called at the door.
We both sat up, one after the other. "Yes of course, Claudia. " She replied. Claudia opened the door and came inside, softly closing it behind her. She was dressed in a maid outfit. Even so it was evident that her figure was that of a model, she was so developed and strong. I admired her. She bowed her head, "How may I be of service malady?" She politely asked. "CJ, our guest would like to dress nicely for when her father arrives." Mrs. Apate said, "Can you arrange her clothing?" She continued. "Yes Lady Wilis, I will retrieve a selection immediately." Claudia affirmed and walked out of the room briskly.
Moments later two men dressed in all black wheeled in a huge clothing rack, covered in dresses, tops and jeans, all around my size. I stood up and said, "Amazing!" Then another pair of men wheeled in another, and another. I giggled happily as teardrops sprinkled from my eyes.
Mrs. Apate giggled. "No need to be emotional." The six men stood at the side of the room, bowed then left as Claudia entered. "Let's get you dressed up." She smiled.
After I was done dressing, we all walked out to the dining room. The light from the sun somehow reflected into my eyes. I looked out the glass door to see a pool. The water gently swayed in the afternoon breeze. We sat at the table with menus like a restaurant.
Claudia took our orders. Moments later another pair of men dressed in tuxedos brought our food. "Daddy never took me to a restaurant since-" I stopped… "I know, CJ." Your father told me all about it." Mrs. Apate said. "Happy thoughts now, ok?" She continued. "Mmm-hmm" I nodded. I had garlic bread, rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes with a side of garnished mushrooms and apple pie. It tasted heavenly. I went to brush my teeth in the bathroom, when I noticed my shoes were still there. After brushing my teeth, I took my shoes to the guest room. I lied on the bed, I looked up at the starry ceiling. The faint pink light of sunset broke through the cracks of the window and lit up the stars.

I admired it and fell asleep.
"CJ." An unknown voice whispered my name. "Prediction." He said. "We have a prediction," Lumis said. I instantly opened my eyes. When I did, I realized that even though I was in the same room. The ceiling was furry and the floor was covered in stars. Then I woke up. "I am Death." The God of Existence whispered. His figure was otherworldly, but not frightening. He was covered by a white robe and his skin glowed colors I never knew existed. He was hovering above me still as a tree stump, seeming to stand on top of the air. He faced me even though I was lying in bed, I found it strange. "Go away." I said, and just like that he disappeared. I slowly turned to the slightly open door, as my eyes wondered. "You really thought that you could get rid of me that easily?" A dark sinister voice whispered behind me. Ahhhhh! My girlish scream echoed throughout the room.

Almighty Dung [Dropped]
Have you seen the future? I have not, nobody did, no one can. I see...have you heard of apotheosis' prophecy? What about it? Many didn't take it seriously, probably because nobody could crack its mysteries, but the indestructible prophecy rock has recently crumbled. It is a sign that things will change. ...What did the prophecy say? Sigh, you really don't know anything. There was a furnace drawn on the prophecy rock. There were three objects in it, named meaningless crown, black star and incomplete cross. When three signs appear the beast will awaken. Has the meaning been cracked? There are many hypothesis, but nothing concrete. The first object could have relation to king of some sorts, but in this vast universe there are many worlds, counties and kings. Who can really guess its meaning? It can also be metaphorical. What about black star? They say the second clue leads to eclipse, but this also says nothing. Third one? Cross is the symbol of divinity. The cracked cross might mean a lot of things, like person who wants to go against progenitor's ideas and laws and forcefully achieve divinity...It could also mean destruction of divinity, but something like that should be impossible... You're overthinking things. How could gods stay idle if someone is threatening their reign?Also, even if somebody is forcefully awakening, the gods will be alerted by commotion and won't let it succeed... Say, do you think that awakening beast is the one who will try to become one of us? Most likely. No, it's hard to say. The prophecy can't be that simple. This is nothing but wild guesses from our side. Alright, let's stop with depressing stuff. I found a nice place not too far from my domain constellation. Really? What's special about it? Nothing we've not seen before, except for a rare delicacy. They call it chocolate. Oh? Is it delicious? Yes, much better than slime candies you've been fond of. Are you free now? Of course! Then it's my treat. Be careful though, the sovereign over there is a bit low key, but very strong. You need to get to know world's customs first, we don't need extra trouble. No problem. We have nothing to do anyway, haha. What are we waiting for? Lead the way... Ark I - Invasion of thousand kingdoms (Chapter 1-???) Ark II - Nocturnal feast (Chapter ???-???)
