Once On This Hetalian Island

by Nekome-Sama

Romano was saved by the gods and was sent on a journey that would test the strength of love, against the power of death on this island of two different worlds! But...how? Now hes stuck with a grand homme boy who crashed his car and nearly died, but doesnt want to be a grand homme. Based off of the musical Once on this Island but with my own twist to the plot. Rating will change.

Chapter 3. And the Gods Heard His Prayer

The gods laughed. "The peasant boy wants a grande homme to carry him away!" Asaka said and laughed more, "I should find a tree all covered with mangoes. Juicy mangoes, fat and well-fed. Pick a mango-"

"A juicy mango!" Agwe interjected.

"A lovely mango!" added Erzulie.

"A poison mango!" Papa Ge suggested and the other gods slowly shook their heads. The god of death rolled his eyes. "Drop the mango..." they all made a whistling sound that imitated something falling, "BOOM!"

"And knock some sense in his head!" Asaka exclaimed. "Splash him with a wave!" said Agwe. Papa Ge gave his lovely suggestion, "Scare him half to death!"

"Um...give him what he wants?" Said Erzulie. The other gods gave her a confused look, "Give him what he...?"

"Give him what he wants! Love has many powers. If the love is true it can cross the Earth," she said to Asaka, "and withstand the storm," she said to Agwe, "It can conquer even you." she said to Papa Ge with her arms folded and a glare. Papa Ge rolled his eyes, "Hah! Love conquer death? Why, I could stop his heart like that!" he snapped his fingers.

Erzulie nodded, "Stop his heart from beating, yes. But not from loving. Not if love is what he chooses." Papa Ge scoffed, "Ridiculous!"

"Interesting!" Agwe excitedly said. "More amusing than mangoes!" said Asaka. They all started to think of something. "Hmmm..." an idea came to their mind that was rejected, "No! Hmmm..." they started thinking again and then a brilliant idea came to their minds, "A journey!"

"I will give her strength...when the time is right of course!" said Erzulie and Asaka nodded, "I will guide her way!"

"I will make her choose.." Papa Ge said EXTREMELY creepy like. Agwe grinned like a maniac, "And I'll provide the place where two different worlds will meet tonight..." The other gods exchanged a glance. They all immediately knew that the god of water had a devious plan and decided not to intervene, so they left him to do his job.
