Chapter 19
Gabby and Gallen slowly changed, keeping the head of their animals for a few moments before it went away.
"There's something I don't understand," Gallen said, all of us looking at him.
"All of us except Yami have been alive for hundreds of years. If we are reincarnated how did you survive so long without certain gods?" he asked, raising a good point.
"Actually did you not notice that huge shift a year or two ago?" Kalina asked, all of us looking down, knowing she was talking about the time skip.
"Yea," Gallen answered.
"A lot of our gods died then, and when we went to the present their souls quickly tried to find hosts. I don't know how they all found so many people in one spot, but they did. Oh man that shift was horrible though, it was so chaotic even Ma'at died," Kalina said, shaking her head.
"When a god dies we usually pick up the slack. Ma'at was the only one we couldn't, we were lucky a local girl had her soul," Khepri finished for her.
"Ma'at?" I questioned, Kalina looking shocked.
"Yami seriously! I know you never really read about mythology but Ma'at is harmony, justice, the order of the universe," she yelled.
"What happened to the bible?" I groaned since we use to live in the Bible belt, and be devout Christians.
"The bible, don't get me started. Satan that's a name for Set, Lucifer was the Greek god of the eastern star, Hell that was just a hot version of Norse Hel with another L added. All mythology take stuff from one another and these ones were made before the bible. How do you know Christianity isn't just a monotheistic mythology? You don't need to have many gods to be a mythology. Zeus could be like god, Hera or Hercules could be Jesus and all the other gods' could be disciples," Kalina explained, desperate for me to understand. She wasn't like my sister anymore, but she made some good points. At least she used Greek terms to help me understand. I read the Odyssey so I was actually following her line of thinking now.
"Can we just sleep, my head hurts," I muttered. I really just wanted to leave, now.
*Oh my god I am so sorry I put the wrong thing up. Why didn't someone tell me!
