44 Interlude - A stolen world? (1/2)
El Shaddai is sitting in front of me and looks very displeased at some documents. ”Seria, Do you have any idea why I invited you into my office?”
It's not really an office. Just a white room inside a dimensional pocket. There is a desk and two chairs. That's all. It's located at an important cross-way of paths inside the river of souls.
”No?” I smile at him while playing with my long golden hair.
”So you don't know what happened to a certain world?” He lifts an eyebrow and looks at me accusingly.
”What have I done now? First Tjenemit with all those strange accusations and now you. I neither have an idea what you are talking about, nor a clue to guess anything.” I shrug my shoulders and pout.
El Shaddai sighs. ”I am talking about the world of those two gods, who killed each other. The two, we gave to you, to supervise their punishment. By your wish. It was a big favour by the Council. But I am beginning to believe that you have a little too much freedom.”
I frown and arch my eyebrows. ”What about that world? I haven't been there in years. Wasn't it destroyed?”
El Shaddai scratches his long earlobe and strokes his bald head. He looks like he is thinking hard about something. His golden skin reflects the light in painful way. If I wasn't a god, I would probably go blind just by looking at him.
I often try to imagine what would happen if he just sat down and stopped moving. Most people would think of him as some Buddha statue.
He leans back into his seat. ”It wasn't really destroyed. Just a little damaged. But when a god of nature was tasked by the administration department to repair it... Guess what he reported.”
”What?” -Me
”Gone!” -El Shaddai
”Gone?” -Me
*Wham!*
”The world is gone!” El Shaddai hits the desk with his fist and I flinch out of surprise.
”I hope you don't want to imply that I am stealing worlds now. First I am accused of stealing gods and now I steal whole worlds?” I ask him like I am insulted.
