I have someone new to thank for a review, and that is, of course, Stuzack.
Now thanks as always to MeltingSilver for her now routine feedback (I have
a fan! *yeah*:)
Since it was pointed out that I'm one of the few authors with Goddesses in my story, I'd like to explain that Acala and Celina were actually born out of an idea for a "Charmed" FanFic that never quite got finished. (Long story short: A pair of twins are both rather powerful, and, by some means that they don't understand, are affected by what happens to the other)
Samuel. Well that's the first name I gave to the "Smith" guy on "Twice in a Lifetime" ;)
On with part four!

As the sun set on the third day, Celina watched as the last brick was placed into the foundation of her Temple. The Power flowed through her, making her indigo light burn even brighter for a moment before it returned to a bearable level.
~Well done.~ The Goddess told the Villagers a moment before she was interrupted by two small voices that she had never heard, but recognised without thought.
~&Greetings, Great One.&~ A shinning Monk said as he came closer to the Goddess.
~Ying.~ Celina replied with amusement.
~$Hey.$~ The shimmering Imp called as he came into view.
~Yang.~ Celina responded as the Imp went over to get a better look at the glowing Temple.
~$Now /this/ is nice.$~ Yang said, clearly impressed. ~$The Humans do this by themselves?$~
~I gave them the wood, they did the rest.~ Celina replied as she gathered the food from several fields and tossed it into the Village Stores.
Seeing this several villagers cheered, and Celina felt her influence grow; but Yang frowned, coming closer to the Goddess who he was supposed to advise.
~$Now why did you go and do that for!?$~ The young Imp asked. ~$If you keep giving them more then they need, they'll begin to take advantage of you!$~
Celina looked at the Imp calmly, sighed, then ignored him as she moved towards the Temple. She could deal with him at another time, for now she wanted to see what her people had made for her.

Samuel watched as the Villagers worked quickly at finishing his Temple. Within the day they were ready to place the last stone and Ashil stepped forward.
"Holy Samuel!" The man called. "Let me present this great symbol of your Power!" With that the man placed the last brick and locked it in place.
Samuel felt the large burst of Power instantly, though his aqua presence dimmed down once more after that first burst. He heard two voices suddenly and turned to see just who they could be.
{&We are here to help you grow strong, Samuel.&} A young female Priestess said as she moved onto the God's right shoulder.
{$She speaks truth, we are here to tell you of the options you may chose for any problem you may face.$} A female Demon said as she flapped her red wings and landed on Samuel's left shoulder.
{Daylight. Starlight.} Samuel replied as each arrived. {How is it that I know you if we have never met before?}
{&We are a part of you, Samuel.&} Daylight replied gently.
{$We're your conscience.$} Starlight added simply.
{All right.} Samuel replied, then, spotting the flags being raised by Ashil at the Village Center, he tossed two large trees and a large amount of fresh fish to satisfy his Villagers' needs. {Let's start by looking at the Temple.}

As the night fell on the second steady day of work, Acala felt a slight increase in her Power.
*Can it be that Celina's Temple is built and that she is more Powerful than me?* The blood-red Goddess wondered to herself as she dropped a small amount of food beside her workers and sent them back to work the moment they had finished eating. *My own Temple will be finished soon.* She continues. *And then we will see just who has the most Power!*
As the sun rose to begin the forth day, Acala's Temple was finished and Wriqk placed the last stone. Acala felt the Power enter her, and she was not at all happy when her glow died down to just slightly brighter then when she first arrived.
*$Where did the Power go? Even I felt /that/!$* A horned Devil asked as he came into view. *$What do you think, "Goodliness"?$* He added as an Angel came into view, his halo shinning and his wings pure white.
*&We must all work for our Power.&* Was the firm reply. *&How Powerful our young Goddess with get depends on how much work she is willing to do!&*
*That doesn't sound like something that I'm going to do, Fire.* Acala replied. *Let's go check out the Temple, Brimstone.* She added as she made her way towards the great structure. *Maybe we'll find some answers in there.*

I got my friend to check this out, so it should be okay.
As always, please review since you've already read! :) Or send me a mail (Celina66@mailcity.com)
AN: Note to me. Don't let friend fool with anything other than spellings:) She confuses me when she checks the grammar too. *chuckle*
