Okay. This is part two! *cheers* I'd like to send my thanks to
MeltingSilver, who, while perhaps not being the first to read the first
part one, was the only one who actually sent in a review. So the 'AN' is
for MeltingSilver, to try and dispel your confusion.
AN: What are Powers? Well, to put it simply, that's the name for un-born God(desse)s. When you first get called down in the game you see several other lights around your glowing orb. Those are the other Powers. There's usually no way to know if they hold a God or a Goddess, or if they will be/are good or evil. Most Powers begin life neutral, but get swayed easily by one half of their conscious early on, some just do what they like, and others take turns between their good and evil advisers and don't really take either side. So, in short, Powers are names for Gods or Goddesses that have yet to be called down or "born" by means of a prayer. (I hope I haven't mixed you up even more.)
And one last note: I've fixed up the first chapter, since the school's French computer messed up my ""s and I had misspelled some words. *oops*
In any event, I've talked long enough, here's the story.
****** ******* ******
Something had made Acala restless as night fell, and now she heard a calling that was loud and persistent in her ear. She looked around, and saw for the first time the other Powers that had been around her since she and her Twin had been created. She glowed in all her blood-red glory and listened attentively to find out what had waken her, and just how she could turn it to her advantage.
"Help us! We're under attack!" The Power heard it clearly. A prayer, her portal to becoming a true Goddess, and she wasn't about to just let it pass.
With a great burst of speed, she was pulled towards the sound, and the boy she had to save if she wanted to make a name for herself among the Mortals, and the Gods.

In the middle of the night, Samuel had stirred in his deep slumber. As the sun rose, he began to glow a bright aqua, and he listened for what had awoke him.
"A strange illness has attacked our people. If you save us, we will finish the Temple, and worship you!" Samuel considered that. It was definitely a prayer, and an enticing offer. He would go and save them. He would become a God!

In the early morning light, Celina stirred gently something wasn't right in the world. She could sense it in her very Being. She awoke soon after, and heard a call from two different voices.
"Somebody, please help us! We call to the Heavens!" "Help our child!"
She blazed a deep indigo as she found the direction of the call and followed it quickly. She took one last look before she let herself be pulled by the prayer, her call. If she had anything to say about it, she would not return to this place. She would be a Goddess before long, and they never came back. Even if defeated.

A moment after Wriqk had called out for help, Acala appeared in the sky. She was only a bright ball of blood-red light. A young Power, that circled the tent once before she dropped downward and moved swiftly through the material. She grabbed the man standing before the young Wriqk and threw him upward. Then, without waiting a moment, the Goddess had taken the boy gently into her hand and placed him on the ground outside the tent.
She caught the first man as he fell back towards the ground, and tossed him towards a mountain, where his back broke on impact. Wriqk watched fascinated and horrified as the same was done to all but the youngest of the warriors.
This last was taken up like the rest and dropped roughly to the ground beside Wriqk, and his father's dead form. Then Acala moved back slightly and spoke to them both.
*I am Acala.* She said firmly and clearly as a dark symbol, shaped like a single lightning bolt formed in the centre of her light. *I am the Goddess of this land. Called to help this young boy with an enemy attack.*
"We praise you, Holy One!" Wriqk called out, getting on his knees to praise his people's new Goddess. "Thank you. You have saved many lives."
"And taken many more." Came the gruff voice of the last living attacker. "Why did you chose to let me live?"
The boy got to his feet and looked over at his father's corpse for a moment then turned his eyes on the young man. Eyes filled with a deep hatred.
"If you would be so gracious as to allow me a glimpse into your way of thinking, Holy One?"
Acala lowered herself so that she was barely ten feet over the pair, and the man shied away, though he tried to appear strong. He tried to keep his honour until the end.

Just as Ashil lowered his arms and was turning from the Temple an aqua light appeared before him, and Samuel spoke from within.
{You, Ashil, called me here.} His voice called out, kind, but filled with a sort of quiet unquestionable Power that brought the Village Leader to his knees. {Get all your sick people to the Village Centre, and I will help them.}
Ashil praised his people's new God once before he got to his feet and called out to those Villagers who were still without sickness to go and get all the others. Their God was good, and he would save them if they followed his orders and collected all the sick.
+-+-+ +-+-*-+-+ +-+-+
An indigo light appeared above the boy and lifted him out of the water just moments before the sharks would have eaten him. The moment she set him on dry ground, a black yin-yang symbol appeared in the centre of her light. She was now a Goddess.
"You saved Frankie!" Landry called towards her. "What shall we call you, Great One?" He added as he got to his knees along with his wife, Virla, and their son.
~I am Celina.~ She informed him. ~I was called to help you.~
"I am Landry, Celina." The Village Leader replied. "How may we best serve?"
~I will require a Temple.~ She replied as she pulsed slowly in thought.

Okay, I'm ending it there. So, for the moment the score is two Goddesses and one 'male' Power. :) Of course that'll change soon. Not to mention the fact that Samuel's Temple is already half built.
I hope you like it so far. And though I know that I'm still new to this site, I actually do write quite a lot and am working of four books (a little at a time) so if I slow down on my updates, then that's probably because of school or other writing.
AN: Okay, this is a new record. I've just updated this chapter (maybe I should take more time before the original posting?) And since I'm adding stuff, I'll remember to remind you all of something: Now that you're read, please review! Or send me a mail (Celina66@mailcity.com)
