One For All

Ding! Dong!

"I got it!" I yelled from my room as my dog, Milo, ran to the door and barked at it. I paused the game, 'Final Fantasy 14', and ran towards the door. "Crate!" I ordered as my dog hung his head and went to his metal cage. I closed it before I walked back to the door and opened it. "Sorry, but I had to put my... Dog... In..."

The person who was at the door was a woman who had the bare necessities of clothing on... A cloth that covers her private areas such as her pelvic reign and chest. In her hand was a staff that seemed to be made of gold. She had literal glowing yellow hair and emerald green eyes. The thing is... She wasn't human, she's a feline creature of some sort.

"Hello mortal, I am Cuncta; Goddess of everything created... In another universe." Well shit, this is new. A goddess on the porch... Outside... And I live in an apartment complex... Yaaaaa.

"What are you doing?!" I whispered angrily as I glared at her. "Get in, now!" She came in and just walked right through the house as I closed the door. Now that I think about it, she was about three feet taller than me.

She looked around the living room and dining room as she examined the décor of the apartment. It was only me, my brother, my dad, and my stepmom living here so she would only be recognized by us if anyone sees her. Unfortunately, everyone was out for the day and wouldn't be back for another three hours.

"So, does thou know why we appeared at thy humble abode?" She seems to prefer archaic English. Maybe she hasn't heard the modern tongue.

"I hope you're not going door to door to see who will sleep with you because that's all I can think of." She glared at me and I shrunk away a little.

"That may be a partial truth, but it is a trial for those we have picked to take the task we have for them. Those who have the intention to court us in bed will have their memories wiped of our existence." She came closer to me and smiled devilishly. "Those who pass may court us if thee so desires." I blush at that as she leans closer to my ear and whispered. "We favor kind, young gentleman, and you fit both." Why are all gods horny; seriously, that's a major problem in Greek mythology. I am very uncomfortable now. Don't get me wrong, she was extremely attractive - mostly because I'm a furry - but I just met her, so I'm not gonna do that. "Even after offering myself, you choose not to court us still. A respectful young man indeed." More like in shock, but I appreciate the compliment.

"You said that I was chosen for something... but what?" She looked around for a moment, apparently admiring the décor some more, before turning to me.

"I wish to talk to your parents first, I want them to understand how this is going to work before it happens." Wow, a god that wants to talk to the parents before they are whisked away to another world... why isn't this the start of an Isekai yet?

"You don't want to cause grief, do you?" She nodded as she sat on the couch and made herself comfortable. "Now we play the waiting game." I sat next to her and was planning to take a nap... but the front door opened as my dad, brother, and stepmom.

"We're... back..." My dad said as he saw the goddess feline sitting next to me. "Hunter... what's happening?" I shrugged, I knew the bare basics so I would only give bad, or wrong, information.

"I don't know enough to explain." I lend my head back and just stared at the ceiling. "Mind explaining Cuncta." I saw her, out of the corner of my eye, stand as she planned to introduce herself.

"As you so said, I am Cuncta, Goddess of Creation from a different universe," Cuncta said as she bowed a little to be as formal as possible. "I want your son to help a race." Okay, I am now fully paying attention because this is some serious shit.

"What kind of help?" My dad asked after Cuncta finished her introduction and explanation.

"They are isolated in the frozen north with no knowledge of the world. All I ask is that he becomes their Guardian for political power. He will have to guard the High Priestess for the majority of the day, but that can give an opportunity to influence the highest political leader in the race." Oh... that seems rather easy now that I think of it. Wait, I just jinxed myself, didn't I?

"That seems... far fetched, how do we know that you're not just gonna just kill him or something like that?" Both I and Cancta deadpanned at my dad before she held out her hand and, out of thin air, produced a Dr. Pepper. She handed me the soda and now she is my favorite goddess. "Fair point. Unfortunately, this isn't my decision. If you want him to go, you have to ask him." My dad motioned towards me causing her to look at me confused. "He is at the age where he should make his own decisions. He's had difficulty making any decision so I believe this will expose him to difficult decisions later in his life."

"Oh, I already decided to go," I said... yeah, the awkward silence after was what I expected.

"Well... That was unexpected. I'm surprised he made such a big decision easily." My brother said before I shrugged. Hey, I thought I'd go to Mars first, not some random planet. At least I can cross that off my bucket list.

"Well now that we got that out the way, does anyone have any questions?" Cuncta asked as she looked at the four of us expectingly.

"I'm mostly just curious when you plan for me to leave," I said while leaning back into the couch.

"I can not tell you, you'll just have to wait for it to happen, I'm sorry."

"No problem, thank you." With that, she vanished into thin air and left without a trace.

From that day on, my dad began to prepare me for the trip there.
