When the family had taken the goddess to their village, she heard a voice griping.
"The temple's not finished yet?! How are we supposed to do evil without the temple?!", the voice
groused.
"Oh, quiet. We should help them complete it. Then, it'll get done faster.", another, more gentle
voice said.
"Okay, who's talking?", the goddess inquired. Two figures floated in front of her. One was a
little red demon and the other was an old man sitting on a cloud, halo over his head, and dressed
in a white robe.
"Okay, who are you two?"
"We're your conscience. I'm Good.", Good said.
"And I'm Evil."
"We're here to advise you on what to do.", Good said, a serene smile on his face.
"Okay, then. What the heck am I supposed to do?"
"You could help the villagers build the Temple. It appears that they need wood taken to the construction
site.", Good suggested, causing Evil to scoff.
"I say we cause massive chaos and construction!"
"But we don't have any powers yet!"
"So. The boss can turn into her true form and throw things."
"But that's not a nice thing to do!"
"That's kinda the point."
The goddess covered her ears and glared at the two "advisers".
"Shut up, you two. I'll help the villagers build the temple, then figure out what to do from there.", she
said irritatedly as she disappeared in a flash of light, transforming into her true form.
She floated over to the Village Store and picked up a bunch of wood, then floated over to the Temple
Construction Site and dropped the wood onto the pile. Then, seeing that no more wood was required,
she transformed back to her human form and watched the construction.
When the Temple was built, she looked over toward the huge doors off to one side of the village and
noticed a golden scroll floating next to them. Curious, she transformed back into her true form and flew
over to it and touched it.
Sable the Creature Trainer came through her little door...well...little compared to a deity in his/her
true form, that is. The goddess transformed back to her human form and approached Sable.
"Holy One, I'm Sable, the Creature Trainer. Beyond these doors are wondrous Creatures. If
you can open these doors, you may go through and choose a Creature. However, the only
way to open the doors is to find the three gate stones. The first one is easy because the villagers
were dancing around it when you came in. The other two will be a bit more difficult to find. Do you
accept this challenge?"
The goddess nodded.
"Yes, I accept."
"Good, now, get to it."
The goddess transformed to her true form and flew to the village entrance, instantly finding
the first gate stone. She picked up the stone and put it on the pedestal in front of the doors.
"That's one, you need to find two more.", Sable informed her.
The goddess' attention was diverted to a woman who was crying.
She transformed to her human form and approached the woman, who instantly fell to her knees,
bowing.
"My brother is gravely ill and wandered off! I can't find him, and I'm worried! I have one of the stones
you're looking for in my house. I'll give it to you if you find my brother.", the woman said.
"I'll do my best."
"I say we smash the house in and take the gate stone.", Evil said.
"No. We're going after the brother. It's the right thing to do.", the goddess said, softly, as she
headed for the woods near the entrance of the village.
**************************************
"Someone help me! I can't get back home!", the gravely ill man shouted as he tried to crawl back to the
village.
He sighed when he realized that it was futile to keep going.
"I'm sorry, dear sister. I just can't make it.", he whispered as he laid where he was when he couldn't
move anymore.
Just then, he heard a voice calling to him.
"Hold on, sir! I'm coming for you!"
***************************************
The goddess heard a voice calling for someone, anyone, to help him, and followed the voice.
"There's the sick guy!", Evil shouted when they came to a clearing.
"Hold on, sir! I'm coming for you!", the goddess called to the man as she ran toward him.
He looked up at her, taking in her appearance.
"Who are you?", he asked weakly as she knelt to help him stand.
"Just your friendly, neighborhood deity.", she joked as she threw one of his arms across her shoulders
and helped him back to the village.
"You know, it would've been easier to do that in your true form.", Evil said, slight disapproval in his voice.
"Well. I'm tired from all that transforming I did just to zip from one end of the village to the other.
Besides, I like being in human form."
Evil had nothing more to say about that.
***************************************
Skipping ahead a bit, the goddess got the other two gate stones and was allowed
through the gates and was mulling over which Creature to choose as hers.
"How about the cow? A strong and noble beast.", Good was saying.
"No. Not fearsome enough to get respect from villagers.", the goddess said thoughtfully.
"Then how about the Ape...highly intelligent and quick to learn?"
"Nah. Too cute."
"How about the lethal Tiger?", Evil chimed in.
"That's it! I'll choose the Tiger! Impressive, plus, he's cute right now.", the goddess said.
Sable nodded.
"What shall you name your Creature, Holy One?"
"How about Senka?", the goddess said, then turned to the Tiger. "Do you like Senka?"
The Tiger nodded, and the goddess laughed.
"Okay, Senka it is, then."
"I'll take Senka to the Temple, then, tomorrow, we'll start his training.", Sable said as she put a rope leash
on Senka.
"Okay, I'll meet you back at the Temple.", the goddess said, as she started walking toward
the Temple.
To be continued...
****************************************
A/N: Gah, that wasn't much better than the first chapter, was it? I think I'll skim over the Creature training
part and go straight into the "meat" of the game next chapter, and give lip service to the Creature training.
There's no way I'll be able to write out that part of the game and make it more interesting. So, next chapter,
there will be a little bit of Creature Training for humor purposes, then things pick up.
As usual, C&C welcome, flames will be used to warm my computer room.
Until next chapter, ja ne!
