Part 2: Life as a Goddess
At first none of the villagers accepted the child as a Goddess, not even the ones who were there in the cavern. It was only until she was later covered head to toe in snakes whenever someone tried to do her harm that they backed off. The first time it happened was when she was one.
-Age 1-
Let it not be said that the villagers were heartless, it has been a year since the outsider gave birth in the sacred caverns and died there. She had paid for her sins, or so they thought. But now it has been a year, and the harvest is not very good…
"It's that child's fault, it needs to be sacrificed to appease the God!" One villager announced, and the others agreed. The village elders did not have a say in the matter as they were otherwise occupied with the death of one of their own. Another matter with which the villagers blamed on the girl.
Though inn reality, it was the man's own fault for sleeping on the largest branch of the snumu tree, a very tall fruit bearing tree that can grow up to 100m. (That's about 60 people stack up against one another.) So the young ones plotted and thought it best to just grab her and chuck her into the caverns.
They were in for a little surprise, seeing as at the time, the little girl found out she could talk to snakes, and soon all the snakes in the surrounding areas came to her beck and call.
The first man to enter shrieked and soon everyone else entered the small hut only to stampede their way back out, demolishing the walls, and revealing the horrifying sight.
At first they thought she was dead. That the god himself must have acquired retribution, but the ringing laughter of a small child put those delusions to rest.
"The-the child, she speaks! She speaks to the serpents!" All around the village people gasp, and pointed, and then one by one they bowed before her.
-Age 2-
The babe was beginning to understand things, more so than a baby of mere 15 months should. She could talk, though not in complete sentences, but coherently enough that others understood her.
She also began to notice things, no, not that the people on the island attended to her, nor that they look nothing like her, but the fact that they were so different from her… They felt nothing like her. Even her companions, serpents, had more of a feeling than these-these people did! That's when he started to speak to her… Her father.
The green eyed babe was playing with the snakes when she heard the hissing, it was stranger than the snakes because it was talking like the villagers, but like the snakes too.
Child, my child…
Who you? You my daddy, is why say child?
Yes, I am your father… You are different from these mortals…
You differ-ent, me differ-ent, we same. See you?
I cannot show you my true form for it is not here…
Oh, okay… why differ-ent? She held up a snake.
What you feel is their life energy, the serpents on this isle are my familiars, my proxies. Therefore they have more power, more-
Magic?
Why yes… more magic.
-Age 3-
She was told by her father not to reveal her powers, her abilities to move things, make things appear, bend them to her will, and so much more. So she hid them, that is until she felt it. A tsunami, or what they called, 'Giant tides.' No one had noticed it was approaching. The only person who could also feel the giant tides and the earth shakes were the old woman, and she had passed away in her sleep two summers ago. So no one noticed when she passed out after saving them all, but they had found her the next day slumped against a tree and covered from head to toe in snakes.
The villagers began to reason that she was weak, and prone to passing out… Soon, those who believed died out, the elderly, and leaving only the young and foolish.
Foolish they were, but they began to notice things. Things moving by themselves, thing appearing from out of nowhere. And when she saved a man from nearly fell to his death from sleeping in a snumu tree, they began demanding things from her. Small things, for she was weak, or so they thought.
-Age 4-
She had a familiar now, his name was Heru. He was a gift from her father. Her father had wanted to give her a snake that was the embodiment of calamity, but he reconsidered and opted to give her a normal viper, a Daboia. She name him Heru after the Hell-Bell her father wanted to give her. He is white with red patches, an albino, or so her father said. She just thinks her dad made Heru from scratch because it looked like her eyes when she got angry.
Speaking of which, she really had to learn to control her eyes color. The villagers are beginning to talk more and more behind her back. They had just stopped moving and the island was so close to the mainland called Sahelta…
It seemed that some of the villagers are gone. The old ones had all died last year and the young ones are leaving the island whenever they can… Will she be the last one left? Her father is too far away to communicate with her, and the island seems to be drifting further and further inland towards other nations inhabited by mortals.
-Age 5-
She had been constantly doing magic if not for little things such as preparing the soil for harvest, then she would be rebuilding huts. It was one day nearing her fifth birthday, July 31st, an islander who kept records told her, that HE arrived.
That man was pompous, arrogant, and had his nose stuck up in the air the majority of the time. He was blonde, meaning yellow hair, with silver colored eyes, meaning not enough melanin… Or so she thought from whatever told her. Truly it was a voice that supplied information, but it wasn't her father…Strange...
That pompous arrogant man asked her to leave with him.
She said no.
Unbeknownst to her, the villagers plotted with the man. They told the man about the tradition of the brides, when he filled their sacks with gold and jewels. The tradition states that a woman can only leave the island with her husband, brother, or father. He was neither of the later two. So husband it was…
The man had the gall to ask her for her hand in marriage. But she too knew tradition, and tradition states that the man incline to have a wife must first defeat the father, brother, or cousin in battle. Of course she had none of the above, so she said, she would fight herself. There was nothing about that in the books!
He would have incline to do so, if it were not for the fact he knew she was powerful and would literally wipe the floor with him. So he tried to negotiate for her hand, i.e. he tried to bribe her. But she would have none of that. Should she leave, she would not be able to find the island as it is constantly moving, and if she cannot find the island, she wouldn't be able to communicate with her father.
So he bribed the islanders once more, all eventually gave permission to take her, after having drugged her and all the snakes on the island, did the man get his bride. But even then, one snake was always with her, and he went along for the ride…
