Flashback
Two people sat and waited for the great voyage of the mayflower for the new world. One, wearing a blue dress, had long, brown hair that went down to her thighs with brown eyes, with a bonnet as well as well as a strange leather necklace with a leather string and pouch that held grains in it, sat ladylike on a small chair nearby. Next to her sat a middle aged male with proper clothing as well, with great etiquette much like hers. He had dark blond hair with pale blue eyes and a childlike face that most would think of as adorable.
In perfect flowing French, he looked at the young women and asked "will the boat get here soon?"
She shook her head and said in just as perfect French back, as her hair blew softly with the salty wind "you can't rush them Godlier, humans take some time to get things ready."
He looked at her for a moment then said "Holo, just what are we?"
The women looked somewhat irritated for a moment and said "I'm not one hundred percent sure; Godlier, but I know where we come from."
He once again was quiet for a moment before he said "where do we come from exactly?"
"from beliefs" she replied, then noticing his confusion finished with "when we were humans we discovered something different, something no one else knows about, they start to have beliefs in us, as gods or goddesses. Because of this, our life forces now live off of those beliefs and we will live as long as our 'religions' of 'laws' we created do. You were the first to bring up the thought of something happening after death or 'heaven' and so you turned into 'I am whom I am' of a god."
He nodded and obviously thought for a minute then he looked scared and asked "what about you Holo? No one really beliefs in you anymore, what's going to happen to you?"
She gave him a knowing smile and said softly, but not sadly "in a thousand years tops I shall die when my last believer dies."
He looked terrified at this point and hugged her tightly; crying and saying in between sobs "I don't want you to die! Who's going to take care of my then? Who am I going to rely on?"
She gave a soft chuckle and said "soon you'll be so powerful with all the humans who will love you, that you won't need thou anymore. I'll live for another thousand years, which is a long time, even for us."
"I hope so" he murmured "you're my mother, the great holo the wise wolf, goddess of the good harvest."
She looked shocked for a minute then noticed something on the horizon "I'm surprised you read up on my legend" she said with a hint of happiness in her voice "look, it's the ship, let us go now."
They both stood up and, holding hands like child and mother, waited for the ship to arrive.
End of flashback/ Mai's P.O.V
I arrived late to my job once again, and hurried to make his tea. When I got there I noticed a client and I smiled. He was a businessman, if the suit he wore was anything to go by, with dark blond hair and pale blue eyes.
"Hello, Mai" he said with a little humor in his voice "I'm still going by my old name by the way, didn't have enough energy to go for the changing place."
"Hello Godlier" I greeted, glad to know I was using the right alias "how are things for you?"
"All right" he replied "but things are a little bad for me to be here."
I didn't really listen to his asking, but I heard naru accept. Then I heard Godlier ask
"May I come over to your house to have a meal with you?"
I nodded; it would be good to catch up. We walk slowly back to my house and sat at the small table I have at my apartment. I made some simple potatoes and sausage and we sat down.
He looked at me with an eye raised then said with a chuckle in his voice "Mai Taniyama huh?" he smirked "I happen to like the name Holo better, but you needed a fake name, you going to let your ears and tail down?"
I nodded and I felt my familiar red wolf ears and tail appear in place of the fake ears I make with a little bit of magic. I sighed and said "I miss letting them come out all the time, but then some asshole had to invent video cameras."
He gave a throaty laugh for a few minutes, then looked at me seriously and said "Holo, you look like hell."
"Thanks" I said sarcastically the finished with "did you expect anything else?"
He gave a small shake of the head and asked "how are you still alive?"
"There's only one believer left" I said somberly, I had just fallen in love and yet I was going to die soon "she's old, and is far away from here, and is going to die soon, Poor thing."
I was somewhat scared to die, after all through all this time I'd finally fallen in love, with Naru of all people but I wouldn't complain about it. I knew there was no way he'd love me, or that I'd live, so I didn't think too talk about either too much.
He gave a sad smile "and you've only just fallen in love too, I wished I could help, but my beliefs don't count."
I gaped at him for a moment then asked "you could tell I'm in love?"
"I know you too well Holo, for me it's obvious you love the man I was speaking too." I nodded my head; it was obvious for anyone who spent 200 years together raising each other's beliefs just a little.
I smirked, and decided to bug him "been to mass lately?" I asked, waiting for the all to familiar groan.
"I don't get it" he growled out through his agitation "I speak up about another world and all of a sudden there me creating everything! Its nuts! I understand how you must have felt during your prime time 400 years ago."
I laughed; I knew this case would be very interesting.
This is a test run, I want to see if it's good or not. Review! And please add extra thoughts I could put into my story!
