Hey guys! It's been so long since I've even thought of writing a story. I feel kinda nostalgic and sad that I never finished my other story it's been 2 years after all, but I'm starting new so I'm excited! So let's not waste anymore time and get on with the story I hope you enjoy!
"Talking"
"Thinking"
"Higher Beings Talking"
"Higher Beings Thinking"
"YOUR ASSIGMENT IS..."
(Sage POV)
"MOVE!" I screamed but I knew that the girl didn't hear me.
"Why are kids so stupid?" I thought as I pushed the small girl away from the speeding car. I unfortunately was not quick enough to get away from the car myself as it rammed into my sides breaking my ribs and spine. I heard screaming and panicked voices, but I was in too much pain to broken to pay attention. As my vision began to blur I locked eyes with the small girl I saved her blue eyes filled with tears.
"D-don't c-cry" I stuttered trying desperately to get air into my lungs.
"You're alive!" She said in wonder her eyes alight with hope.
"Not for long" I chuckled. She gasped in horror, crocodile tears running down her pink cheeks.
"NO! Y-y-ou ca-an't!"
"Why?"
She sniffed clutching her pink fox close to her chest.
"Because you saved me!"
"Sorry kid, but this is the end of the road for me" I smiled slightly.
"Take care and live long ok?"
"O-okay" She sobbed in despair running towards the women who looked at me with grateful yet sad eyes.
The edges of my eye were fading and somehow I knew that this would be it for me, even with the blood rushing through my ears I could still hear the sirens of the emergency vehicle that wouldn't save me in time. I chucked one last time thinking about my mom and how in the end she was right.
"She always said my carelessness would get me killed"
I closed my eyes taking my last breath as the pain in my body faded like the wind.
"I guess you were right mom…"
(? POV)
*20 minutes before the accident*
"Damn it!" My little sister growled anger lacing her voice.
"Why isn't he fucking helping him!" Her glowing yellow eyes stared angrily at the large glass ball that took up most of the room. The ball showed a small child being tossed in a raging fire and 4 black dressed men who came to save him, but where seconds late. The screams of the child fueled my sister's anger and the smell of burning flesh filled our room. I watched on passively as red spikes of chakra sprung free from the dead child ripping away at anything near it. I turned away at the screams and pleas of the foolish civilians, secretly pleased that the demon took their lives.
"I swear to Zeus that when I get my hands on that blind,stupid, ignorant mon_"
"Calm sister….there is no need for violence" I looked at my elder sister her gray eyes meeting mines.
"What do you think of the situation Clo?" My sister asked ignoring our little sister's rant.
"I am confused" I confessed running my fingers through the gold thread that pooled around my feet.
"I do not understand why the Prophesied one is being hunted in this reality" My youngest sister stomped over her red hair frizzed and her nostrils flared with a glint in her eyes.
"I'll tell you why the paidí is dying! It's those foolish humans and their ridiculous notion that the poor childe is a demon. Which is preposterous I mean he could not even….." I rolled my eyes blocking out her tirade.
"That is not what I meant" I cut her off sharply. She opened her mouth to reply, but my glare silenced her.
"What is it that you mean than?" I signed facing both of my sisters biting my lip in worry.
"We have seen many variations of this universe all of the outcomes different. Some live with wars raging all the time and another is peaceful with little corruption, but this is the first reality where the Prophesied one has died before he could truly grow" I tilted my head slightly narrowing my eyes.
"It worries me…" I paused my eyes widen as the fading thread I just snipped exploded with color, turning a bright silver.
"What...is this?" My youngest sister walked over, grabbing the thread from me examining it. Her eyes widen, jaws dropping as she let out a little gasp.
"This is…"
"A prophesied one" I flinched turning towards the entrance were a shadowy figure stood.
"What….is she doing here?!"
"Hello Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos. Can we talk? It is urgent"
"Of course" I agreed narrowing my eyes.
"Hecate….What are you planning?"
I was floating….
"HELP!"
Who's crying?...
"PLEASE STOP!"
Calm down I'll help
"I'M SORRY! STOP PLEASE!"
They can't hear me can they?..….I'm sorry…they sound so scared…..
"PLEASE HELP! ANYONE"
I'm sorry…I can't do anything.
…
…
…
The pleas stopped...
Where's up?...where's down?...I'm I lost?
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Am I in hell?...
"No"
Where am I?
"Do not worry about that"
Who are you? God?
"In a way. Come forward paidí"
Where?
"Towards the light"
I can't see it
"You can...just try"
Try…
...
...
...
Try…
...
...
...
"TRY!"
(Sage POV)
I gasped sitting up my eyes blurry and wild. I clenched my shirt tightly taking in deep breaths as I looked around the room. It was all white painfully so and bare nothing but a large glass ball, the bed I was laying on and a large door. I stood up carefully shocked that I couldn't feel any pain.
"Am I…..dead?" I asked hoping that someone would answer me.
"Like that voice...when I was floating"
I wasn't wearing the clothes I died in, instead I was clothed in what looked like a white bedsheet and cotton socks. I walked towards the glass ball looking for any signs of life. I peered at it placing my noticeably smaller hands on the cool glass. I leaned in hearing soft voices.
"Hello..?" I whispered placing my ear on the ball.
…
…
…
"NOOOOO!" I lurched back hitting the ground painfully. I crawled back staring at the ball in horror.
"Oh my god! What was that? Is there someone stuck in there?" I clutched my hair in fear, shakily dazed.
"Where am I?"
"You should not touch things that you do not know of, childe" I flinched whirling around to face the opposing woman before me. She stood at 8" towering over my tiny 5'3 frame. She skin as white as snow, full red lips, and a natural flush of pink on her cheeks. Her hair was as dark as night cascading down her back in soft waves. She wore Greek styled clothes, golden sandals, and held a black torch that held a green flame. I backed up afraid of what she would do with me.
"Is this God? I didn't think he-she was a woman...Has she come to harvest my soul" I stepped back swallowing as I broke out in cold sweat.
"Calm childe, I have not come to harm you" Her voice was soft, but seemed to echo around the room.
"Than….Who are you?" I froze as her eyes which seemed so old for her youthful body, bored into me toxic green like the flame she held.
"I am Hecate...Goddess of Magic, Witchcraft, Sorcery, Crossroads, Dogs, Necromancy and Illusions.
"...WHAT!"
"I am Hecate Goddess-"
"No no I heard you...just...your real?" She chuckled lightly as my cheeks pinked at my very stupid question.
"Yes childe...I'm real" I stepped towards her before pausing narrowing my eyes.
"Why...are you here? No, better yet why am I here?" She sighed softly. Waving her hand a table with some tea and two leather chairs appeared. I raised my brow, she made a motion for me to sit.
"I have….a quest for you"
"A quest?" I raised an eyebrow sipping my tea.
"Yes, One of the many universes realities have changed. We gods can only interact with the mortals so much and you my dear...are special"
"Special? Me?" I snorted
Un-fucking-believable
"How the hell am I special?" She smiled at me taking a sip of her tea.
"You are very special, trust me" I shook my head
"What exactly do you need me for? I'm dead right?" I asked pulling on my white dress.
"Technically yes, but you will not be that why for long"
"Huh?"
"Like I said the balance and natural fate of one of the realities is off and if not fixed could cause chaos and mass mayhem around the other realities throughout universe"
"What do you mean by that? Why would one reality mess everything up in the universe?"
"It's...hard to explain you humans...tend to complicate things" My eyes twitched slightly.
"What the hell does she mean by that?" She sighed putting her cup down.
"A single universe…..holds billions of other realities not just the one you live in. In one you could never have been born or you could have been born a man. Every new reality born has something slightly different about it. One could hold amazing technology and the other magic. It all depends on fate...or should I say Fates?"
"What...causes these slight variations within the different realities?"
"No two realities can be the same it messes with the natural order. The differences in each reality do not have to be great. They can be small changes like the human race never existing"
"How is that a small thing!?"
"So...what's my…. quest?" She smirked causing me to shiver slightly and frown.
"Your quest simple. Find the child of prophecy and foxes, protect him. He must not die at any cost. His death means yours" I swallowed in fear nodding my head.
"Remember this childe...where there is life there is death. What was once you shall not be you again. Do not think that you going to this reality will mean you have it easy. Everything and everyone wants you dead, do you understand me?"
I nodded fiercely.
"Yes ma'am!" She smiled before she trusted her torch at my chest causing me to gasp in shock.
"W-wha-t-t ar-re yo-ou d-doing!" I clenched my fist as my body began to stretch and to my horror reform. She simply smiled at me the gleam in her eyes scaring me.
"As I said. What was once you before can not be you again, not in this reality I'm afraid"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!" I screamed as my body seemed to get smaller and smaller making Hecate look even more intimidating. She closed her eyes and grinned twisting the torch and pulling it back. I dropped to the ground noticing how short I was and my visions length increasing. Hecate spun her torch around rapidly still grinning at me and slammed it at the ground causing the beautiful marble floor to crack and give way exposing a bright blue sky. I tried to move away, but my limbs had other plans as I stayed rooted to the ground. I whimpered in fear.
"Good luck Sage, don't die" She chuckled pushing me into the hole my screams of fear and anger ringing through the sky.
"WHAT THE HELL HECATE!"
Her bell like laughter was my only response as I blacked out.
"Urgggg I did NOT sign up for this. Why couldn't I die peacefully?"
(Clotho POV)
"Hecate…..I hope you know what you are doing" Lachesis said her pale blue eyes staring at the transformed human girl through the glass ball.
"How do we know that this human is reliable?" Atropos raged sneering at Hecate. The goddess simply smiled.
"Do not worry Destiny...Apollo has seen it" She grinned turning towards the glass ball.
"Sage shall prevail and not just in this reality, but many others in the distant future" Atropos huffed turning her back towards the goddess of magic.
"If you say so, but I'm blaming you if anything goes wrong" The sorceress grinned.
"Ok" I turned my gaze away from sister and Hecate to look at the girl...Sage.
"I bless you Sage as the Moirai Hope may luck and safety find you" I peered through the glass a grinned slightly.
"You'll need it"
*END*
THINGS TO KNOW!
Clotho - Hope
Atropos- Destiny
Lachesis - Trinity(Peace)
And all together they are The Fates or Moirai's
I don't want anyone getting confused about this.
Yes, some of the Greek gods and even Shinto Gods will have some share time in this story, but they won't be the dominating factor.
Yes, the main characters name is Sage why is her Name Sage...well I don't know ;) Maybe i'll know later.
And finally later there will be another OC, but for now we just have one
So that is all! I hope that you guys enjoyed that and will come back for more. Please please PLEASE review so that I know how I did and follow if you're interested in this story Ciao!
*Preview for next chapter*
I thought this would be easy watching some brat, but I thought wrong...
So...
Very...
Wrong...
"FLUFFY!" The small child cried in happiness tears clinging to his long lashes as hugged me with all his might which was surprisingly a lot.
"Hey!"
"Watch it kid, DO NOT PULL!"
"URG!" I cried in despair and agony as the brat laughed brightly.
"I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS SHIT!"
*Coming next week(hopefully)*
