Book 1 “Darkness” - Chapter 2 “Glows”

I Make The Present

The “Little Girl” awoke feeling tired and to her annoyance with a headache.

She looked around looking for Luna or trying to figure where she was.

She was in a white place, white all around, no up, no down, nothing, all was simply endless whiteness making her feel worse.

“Great, first black nothingness and now white nothingness.” Said the “Little Girl” looking around for anything not white.

“Well at least this time I can see and there is no weird voice shouting me to watch”

The “Little Girl” tried to move but like last time she was unable to even feel her body. "Look like I still paralyzed"

The “Little Girl” closed her eyes to try and concentrate in figuring what to do now.

"I can't do much if can't move." “And for what I can see I totally alone” She added opening her now watery eyes, feeling sad and down.

“Are you sure about that?” Sounded a strong voice out of nowhere surprising the “Little Girl”, her eyes shrinking into points, the embarrassment of someone seeing her nearly crying and the fear of who was that voice clearly showing in her gaze.

Great here we go again. The “Little Girl” thought feeling her headache get stronger and gaining power with each second.

“Let me guess what you want me to do?? Hear?” She added with fake annoyance in her voice trying to cover her embarrassment and fear.

“No really” answered the female voice in a more normal tone.

“I want you to look behind you. Dear” The voice added in a commanding tone.

And with a subtle tone of mischief. “I didn't see you cry by the way”

“I- I was not Crying” shouted the “Little Girl” trying to cover her embarrassment.

“My eyes are a bit hurt due to all this whiteness and I have a headache” She added trying to cover her embarrassment with a half-lie. “And don't call me Dear? Thats weird”.

Even with the previous embarrassment the “Little Girl” didn't really had reason to not try to do what the voice asked.

With nothing to lose and wanting to find a way to leave the weird white place fast, she tried to move her head to look around.

To her surprise she was able to move it.

“It- It moved, I moved it I soo happy” With her head moving around the “Little Girl” started to giggle and cheer in a happy tone.

“Hehehehe” she involuntarily started to giggle in a weird way oblivious of everything around her.

“Dear you alright?” asked the voice in an amused tone.

The “Little Girl” happy cheers and giggle were instantly cut, her mouth dropping, her eyes opening in surprise and to her dismay feeling extremely embarrassed.

“So-Sorry I was really happy that I forgot about you” She mumbled moving her head looking for the voice location.

“I here behind you” sounded the voice “No need to apologize” “I was able to hear your cute giggles” Added the voice making the little girl grow more embarrassed

The little girl don’t wanting to embarrass herself even more moved her head to look behind her.

There in the white endless space was a girl.

A human girl looking at her with a big smile and giggling faintly.

A very pretty human girl, making her embarrassment even worse.

Long cascading blonde hair streamed down the girl´s back reaching up to her knees.

Two marble-sized green baubles sat above her left ear tying up a bunch of her gorgeous hair that streamed outward and then curled around.

She was wearing a white vest-like shirt which came down almost to her stomach leaving her midriff exposed.

Her skin looked soft and silky with an otherworldly shine.

Her skirt was a deep green and a hugged the girl's hips snugly and billowed out like the petals of a flower.

At the end of the dark green hem was something that looked like a second skirt beneath it, lighter green in color, reaching up to her knees.

She wore white socks and running shoes and her legs were slender and blemish less.

She looked almost like a living doll covered in an almost divine and otherworldly glow.

But what called most of the “Little Girl” attention were a beautiful pair of eyes that batted beneath long eyelashes, Observing her with their emerald green shine and a gaze giving a feeling of endless deepness.

Her pink and sweet looking lips forming a smile that gave the feeling of a mother seeing her child, a girl observing her lover and a prankster watching her prank work perfectly, it was a breathtaking feeling.

“If you keep looking at me like that Dear you will make me blush” Said the girl with a playful smile in her pink and cute lips.

“Err no! I-I was not staring at you like that... err... I sorry” The “Little Girl” mumbled with a deep blush and a feeling of wrongness.

It was the first time she saw a human girl like her but she was unable to stop the feeling that she need to love and worship the girl.

“Hahahaha” answered the girl with a smile giggling in a very cute tone of voice.

“Don’t need to worry little girl” “I really used to that kind of stares.” Added her with a smile.

“When you are like me that is something you can’t avoid”

Something about what the girl say picket the “Little Girl” interest and trying to change the weird atmosphere she asked. “Who are you?” “There is something about you that don’t look natural, like there is more about you that what I can see” She added with wary tone of voice but faltering a bit.

There was no way someone so pretty and lovable was evil or wanting to hurt her.

Aggg her presence is messing with my head. The “Little Girl” thought.

She was feeling betrayed by her own mind. I in a weird place with someone strange and all I can do is stare at her. I feel so helpless.

“Hahahaha, You are right in not trusting me, it look like you have a nice intuition.” Her thoughts were cut by the sudden laugh of the girl.

That answer added a lot to the “Little Girl” worries.

“But I don’t want to hurt you, I don’t have a reason to do that” “I have more reasons to aid you right now” She added with a smile so pure that made all the pure whiteness around the “little girl” look opaque next to it.

The “Little Girl” was speechless, the feeling the girl gave was one of absolute peace it was like seeing the sky in a cloudless night.

“You are right little girl, my current form is not natural is one I borrowed to appear and talk with you.” Added the girl with a faint smile.

“And Before you ask you can call me Celes, that is the most close translation to my name you can get without endangering your live.”

That last part made the “Little Girl” feel fear and danger around her, her eyes turning into points.

“There is no need to feel fear little girl” Celes added with worried expression.

“Even if I say my real name you will not be able to understand it” “The language used to make it is not one mean for the mortals to hear or use.” Celes gave  the “Little Girl” a little smile.

“And about what I am” “Well I am a “Unlimited Planar Phase Entity” or in more simple words more or less a God” Celes said in a matter of fact tone not allowing a single doubt about the statement.

That left the “Little Girl” with a mixed expression of doubt, surprise, fear and anger.

“First a voice, latter a talking Alicorn and now a GOD. “ Screamed the “Little Girl”. Feeling her anger grow and grow for no apparent reason.

“Now you will tell me I some sort of destiny chosen hero in a mission to save the world of some evil mastermind fixed in destroying it for no good reason” She added shouting with venom in her voice.

“Hahahaha you are the first that show that kind of answer” Celes answered with a laugh so sincere that she feel her anger going down.

“Normally each time I appear to someone I get reverence, some ask me for proof of my words, others believe they are chosen and some faint” added Celes with a smile.

“You amuse me little girl and you are lucky for that, but I suggest you control yourself because there will not be a second time” Finished Celes with a tone so cold that the “Little Girl” could feel herself turning into ice.

“Listen little girl I am here not to play or have a happy chat with you” Celes continued in a neutral tone of voice her past cold tone looking now like a distant memory.

“I here because I need your help in something and trust me you need my help too”

“I sure you have a lot question about yourself and what I say but first I want to ask you something” Showing kindness in her voice.

“Tell me little girl who are you?”

That question made the “Little Girl” freeze her vision fading.

Her eyes shrink to points, her mouth hanging open in a mute scream.

The now nearly forgotten headache flaring again in a head piercing pain.

The white around her seemed to react to her pain twisting, and waving.

Long cracks starting to appear in the whiteness with crimson liquid oozing from then.

The now crimson space was breaking all around the “little girl”.

But she was even worse, she was fading to nothingness.

She could feel how the little of her that she knew was fading away.

She could not longer speak, hear or see. Everything was slowly disappearing.

Even her feelings and her mind started to disappear and fade away.

Slowly returning to nothingness…. The “little girl” was no more.

“ENOUGH” A clear voice shouted.

“This has gone far enough” The same voice sounded.

At that moment everything came back to her.

Her mind reforming itself, her feelings returning, her senses returning.

But it was going even further, she was feeling more.

She was feeling the blood coursing in her body.

She was hearing her heart throb in her chest.

She was tasting blood in her mouth.

She was smelling blood with her nose.

And she was feeling Pain. Indescribable pain, Her body feeling like it was on fire.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Her Scream sounding more like a howl that a scream.

All her body was in pain, her head feeling close to explode.

Her arm and legs feeling twisted and broken.

But the worse of it was in her chest, a searing pain burning her insides.

She was not going support it anymore, she needed to see the reason of her pain.

Slowly she opened her eyes, the mere action making her scream in pain.

Her vision was tinted in red and blurry but she could see something in front of her.

She blinked a few times trying to focus her vision screaming each time.

Directly In front of her was Celes, her deep eyes watching her closely.

Celes face nearly touching hers.

But that was not important, she needed to figure the source of the pain.

Slowly she moved her face down looking to her chest.

She was naked she could see her own skin strangely tinted red.

But even that was unimportant, what called all of her attention was the source of the pain.

Directly in the center of her chest was Celes hand embedded deeply into her.

She could see blood dripping around Celes hand running out to her elbow.

Her mind froze unable to comprehend what she was seeing.

Celes the supposed God had her hand in her body, Celes arm soaked in her Blood.

She was Attacked by Celes, She was being killed.

Her body tensed, the blood in her face drained.

She tried to tell something to ask the reason, to figure why Celes was attacking her.

But to no avail she was only able mutter nonsense her mouth incapable of forming coherent words.

At that moment Celes withdrew her Arm, she could feel the hand leaving her body.

The reaction was instantaneous, all her body flared in a even stronger pain.

She could feel something breaking inside her, the feeling of loss unsupportable.

Her mind was unable to cope with the pain and she started to lost consciousness.

The last she was able to see was Celes hand dripping blood and a smile in her face.

“It worked”.
