"Where am I?" I asked out loud.
I couldn't help but feel confused, there was complete darkness around me.
Wherever I looked, I couldn't see anything.
I had no choice but to walk forward, hoping to understand where I had ended up.
I don't know how long I walked, but I saw a light ahead. I immediately ran towards this light, and as soon as I passed it, I found myself in the hall of a luxurious mansion.
Looking around, I noticed two maids passing by, I immediately turned to them.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where I am?" I asked, but they didn't answer me, they didn't even look at me.
"Excuse me…" I tried to touch one of them, but my hand went right through them.
"So this is a dream?" I asked myself.
"Chloe, Aglaya." I heard the voice of another maid who came up to them.
"Head maid?" one of the maids asked.
"Mistress Gaia is giving birth, Mistress Asmodeus wants all the maids to see their future mistress." she said and the three of them immediately went upstairs.
Gaia? Asmodeus?
I immediately went after these maids.
Soon we came to a large room, where I saw even more maids.
Looking at the bed, which was curtained, I saw Asmodeus holding someone's hand. Coming a little closer, I saw a woman who looked very similar to me. Only older. She had green eyes, and her "Halo", was green with black outlines.
"Mistress, push!" said the maid who was at the pregnant woman's feet.
"AAAAH." she moaned painfully.
"Come on, dear, just a little more, our daughter will be born soon." said Asmodeus, and I saw the worry on her face.
"AAAAAAAH." she made the last push, and then I heard a baby cry.
"Congratulations, mistress, you have a healthy girl." said the maid handing the newborn girl to Asmodeus.
As soon as the girl was in Asmodeus's arms, it was as if the whole world fell under me…
Is it me?
No! Stop! This can't be!
But…
Why…
I felt tears running down my cheeks.
Are they my parents? But what about my parents on earth? Were they not real?
I watched through tears as Asmodeus showed the girl to his maids and the next words confirmed all my thoughts.
"This is your new mistress, HER name is Shiroko!" Asmodeus said majestically.
And all the maids, of whom there were about 30 people, of different races, knelt down.
"Long live the shining star, may her reign be eternal!" the maids said in chorus.
"This is your inheritance, my dear!" Asmodeus said, kissing the previous me on the top of my head.
"Now let mommy Gaia feed you," she said and handed me back to Gaia, who held me to her chest until I began to drink her milk.
I still had tears in my eyes, but inside me there was a great warmth, this is a moment that children should not remember, but yet I can see it with my own eyes.
Then my surroundings changed, now I was standing in the hallway, and I saw Asmodeus moving away from me.
"MOM!" the "me" from the past screamed, and ran through me.
It was already a more adult version of the "me" from the past, she looked about six years old.
Then two maids rushed past me, their steps were silent, and their eyes were fixed on the "me" from the past.
Asmodeus turned around and immediately smiled, knelt down and picked up the "me" from the past in her arms.
"Mom, I missed you!" said the "me" from the past.
"Mom missed you too. I hope you listened to your maids?" Asmodeus asked.
"Yes, I was a good girl!" said "me" from the past
"Yes, mistress was an obedient girl, she is a good child." said one of the maids, and the other simply nodded.
"God, you are so obedient." said Asmodeus, patting "me" from the past on the head.
"Me" from the past laughed cheerfully.
"Mom, where do babies come from?" asked "me" from the past.
I saw how Asmodeus turned pale, I probably confused her, and most likely she is thinking about the answer.
Heh-heh…
"Well… Children are born from the love of two people." said Asmodeus, continuing to pet me.
"Does this mean that I will have a child from my mother? Because I love my mother so much?" asked "me" from the past innocently.
I saw how the maids seemed to go crazy, started calling the "me" from the past cute and that my cuteness was murderous.
"Darling, this is a completely different love!" Asmodeus said.
"Yes?" asked the "me" from the past, bowing her head.
"Darling… In any case, someday you will find yourself a loved one, and have children with her," she said.
"Mom, how long should I wait?" asked the "me" from the past.
"Well… 2 million years… no, 3 million years… Although I think 10 million years is better." Asmodeus said, and I wanted to laugh at these crazy numbers.
Even the maids rolled their eyes at the overprotective mother.
The space began to change again, and now I was back in the same room in which I was born.
I noticed my mother Gaia sitting at the table writing something. But then she put her pen down and looked at the door, which opened and in walked the "me" from the past, who looks exactly like me now.
"Mom!" - the "me" from the past screamed, and threw herself into her mother's arms.
She picked me up and started stroking my back.
"What happened, kitten?" - she asked softly.
"Mom, I think I'm in love, what should I do?" - asked the "me" from the past.
"Fu-fu, has someone already taken my daughter's heart?" - she asked, and then we heard the sound of falling dishes.
Turning towards the sound, we saw Asmodeus drop the tray, which Gaia was most likely carrying, but why weren't the maids carrying it?
"Who dared to lay paws on my daughter?!" - she roared, and immediately fell silent when Gaia's mother appeared next to her, hitting Asmodeus' mother on the head.
"Don't put on an act here! You should be happy that our daughter has found a loved one!" she said.
"But…"
"No "buts"," her mother Gaia reproached her
"And yet, I will test her to see if she is worthy of our daughter," Asmodeus said and immediately disappeared.
I saw how mother Gaia only sighed irritably and looked at me from the past.
"Well, kitten, tell me more in detail," she said, approaching "me" from the past.
The world around me began to change, and now we found ourselves in some unfamiliar room.
"I" from the past was dressed in a long white dress, and stood in front of mother Asmodeus.
"So, are you ready?" asked Mom Asmodeus
"I don't know…. I'm really nervous." said "me" from the past
"It's okay, the same thing happened to me! In the future, you will remember this memory with a smile." she said, extending her hand to "me" from the past.
"Me" from the past accepted it and they moved further down the corridor, I immediately followed them.
Coming out into a large hall, in which there were many unfamiliar people, except for Mom Gaia, and of course the bride…
Serika…
She was standing on the stage, dressed in a wedding dress.
Even though she had different eyes and "Halo", like me, it was definitely her.
Seeing "me" from the past, she smiled a charming smile, that even my heart stopped.
As a result, "me" from the past walked along the main path, accompanied by her mother, until she reached the stage.
I don't know why it was a normal wedding, I mean I assume there are gods and a goddess here, and yet...
The ceremony ended with deep kisses.
The space changed again and now I watched as Serika and I were surrounded by a large army of gods and goddesses.
"Serika, come to your senses, she is the "harbinger of the end", because of her, all the divine will perish." - said the man, standing at the head of the army.
"Don't talk nonsense father, she is my wife and I will not abandon her and if I have to I will kill you!" - she screamed.
"Okay, you have chosen your fate." - he said.
"Kill them!" - the man screamed, and everyone moved to kill us.
For the next few hours, I watched as we killed gods and goddesses, but there were too many of them, so the outcome of the battle was a foregone conclusion.
I saw my death, and the death of my wife...
It was quite hard to watch...
The entire army that attacked us suddenly stopped and everyone who survived the fight with us suddenly had their heads explode.
Then, I saw Mama Gaia and Mama Asmodeus flying, they flew up to our lifeless bodies, they couldn't hold back their tears, it was a heartbreaking mournful cry, I myself felt like I was crying, looking at this whole scene.
The scene changes again, now I was in space in orbit of some planet, and next to me were Mama Gaia and Mama Asmodeus.
"This is their last stronghold," said Mama Gaia.
"Yes, I know. We must take revenge!" said Asmodeus with malice oozing through her teeth.
Mama Gaia took Mama Asmodeus by the hand, and they nodded to each other.
With their free hands they aimed at the big planet, at first nothing happened, but the next moment, giant cracks appeared all over the planet, and a few seconds later the whole planet exploded into small pieces.
"We got our revenge."- said Mama Gaia
"Yes, but killing all the gods and goddesses won't bring them back."- said Mama Asmodeus.
"We will reunite with them someday and be one loving family."- said Mama Gaia, and hugged Mama Asmodeus, and they cried together.
I also had a hard time holding back my crying, but soon I was empty again, as consciousness slipped away from me…
