3 The meaning of life (2/2)
\”It's called a mirror. You had those in your past life\”
\”I know what a mirror is Bolsa. I was talking about what is inside the mirror\”
\”Your new body. The reflection of your new body in the mirror anyways\”
\”I look human\”
\”Yes\”
\”I'm green\”
\”Yes\”. Dryad's eye twitched as it stared at his reflection.
Ultimately, it couldn't do anything. Before it could thank Bolsa, the god asked it a puzzling question.
\”What gender do you want to be?\”
\”Gender?\”
\”Yes. Do you want to be male or female?\”
\”I don't know. Do I have to chose one now?\”
\”Not really. I'll leave two symbols here. Red for male and blue for female. Whichever one you chose just touch the symbol\” Bolsa replied and waved his hand. Two ball-like symbols appeared in front of Dryad the way Bolsa described it.
\”Okay. Thank you Bolsa\”
\”You are welcome little one. I'll be going now little one\”
\”Okay. Goodbye Bolsa\”
\”Till we meet again Dryad\” Bolsa waved and disappeared in a puff of brown smoke.
\”So, what do you think?\”
\”I like him better\”
\”You damn tree, I was talking about your new body!\”
\”He was more calm and quiet\”
\”Stupid tree!\” Ariama huffed and tried to beat up Dryad. The latter escaped him while trying to get used to it's new body. The weird game continued between the two weird friends for a while.
\”So, Dryad, are you ready to journey your world?\” Ariama asked as they lay at the base of the giant tree.
\”Sure, why not?\”
\”Aren't you nervous?\”
\”Nope. Are you?\”
\”Of course not. It's not my world\”
\”Have you been around my world before?\”
\”No, I haven't\”
\”Do you have a world of your own?\”
\”Yes. A a matter of fact, it was your previous world\”
\”So, I am indirectly your child?\”
\”Um, yes...\”
\”Ew, that's disgusting\” Dryad made some choking sounds and Ariama hit its head, annoyed.
\”You think I want you as a child too?\”
\”You should be lucky. I'm pretty and you're old and wrinkly\” Dryad replied arrogantly.
\”Shut up you stupid tree!\” And like that, their weird game of tag resumed. In a galaxy far away, Bolsa watched both of them with an amused smile on his aged face.
\”What do you think of this seed Simour?\”
\”It's amusing, that's for sure\” Simour replied Bolsa with a chuckle.
\”Did you know this would happen? Is that the reason why you gave it to Ariama?\”
\”No. Our poor brother was getting lobely and bored so I decided to give him one of his offspring with a life seed. Unfortunately, he abandoned it. Karma got him pretty well\” Simour answered with a snicker.
\”Let's see how they will fair in their tour around their creation\” Simour said and Bolsa smiled.
