The 1000 Year Great Sage - Chapter 2
Little girl Hey, don’t scream, I’m just a little girl! You are going to make me cry!
Me No answer really, you are starting to scare me…
Little girl Sorry for that. No, I didn’t cause anything. I just had a small hope to find someone like you until the end of that day, because on the next day, I was going to another country and look around again, and again, and again…
Me Alright. Then, the one million euro question… Who are you?
Little girl I’m Aria. Nice to meet you.
Me Hello… Who are you?????
Little girl I’m Aria, the Goddess of Creation of the world Ariansyl. Nice to meet you.
Me Lucky me, a real, live Goddess in front of me. But a very cute, small and young one?
At this point, she started laughing. A very funny laughing, sounded like a small kitten making noises!!!
Little girl knnnya knnnya knnnya
Me That’s a very weird laugh…
She slowly stopped and started looking embarrassed!!!!
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Sorry, you just really made me laugh. And it’s been a long time that I laugh like this. I didn’t want that you saw such an unfitting side of me. I’m trying to cause a good impression here, after all.
Me A Goddess, trying to cause a good impression on a mere mortal human????
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Well, yeah! Because I want to ask something very important from you. And when I reach this part, previous ones have denied doing what I asked…
Me Previous ones? What happened to the previous ones that denied you?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Their souls followed the natural path… and you don’t need to know what that is.
Me Ok, and there was ever anyone that accepted?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation – So far, 5 did. The last one, was 1.000 years ago. By the way, I only search for new help every 1.000 years.
Me Lucky me then. I’m supposed to be the new help of a Goddess. Great. And what I’m supposed to do?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation When I was chosen as a Good and I was given a world to take care off, using some pointers from some colleagues, I start putting races on my world and waited for then to evolve and prosper. And I helped a little on the evolution, just a little…
Me ||Changing topic of the conversation||…You were chosen, received a world, other colleagues, placed races, messed with the natural evolution… seems like I’m hearing many things that I’m not supposed to learn…
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Yeah, you shouldn’t… I’m going to be scolded for this later… moving on!
Because I started just some millennia ago, I’m a rookie, really green on the job. So, despite a lot of help on the beginning, I was doing all that I could on the first 10.000 years, then I realised that I needed some help.
Since my colleagues refused because it was my responsibility, I came to your world. I looked everywhere and I stopped on Japan.
The Feudal Era was amazing! Samurais, Ninjas, Emperors, Lords, Shoguns, people worried about improving every day!! I was mesmerized!
Me ||Still not answering my question||…Yeah, You didn’t look about the wars, the endless killings, the bandits, diseases, the suffering and hard life of the simple commoners… I understand, those sides are not pretty, it’s always better to just remember the beautiful things.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation You meanie… Yeah, I saw all of that. But I already had that on my world.
Me But the Feudal Era was not 5.000 years ago. Unless time is different where Your world is…
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation It is…kind of… moving on!
.000 years ago, my helper was from medieval Europe, he was a Templar Knight. An amazing fellow, but too strict and kind off fanatic. I don’t know why, bug he always called me Mary and asked for my son… Really weird…
.000 years ago, I returned to Japan and that woman was strong, exceptional. My world advanced immensely. But soon after, it stagnated. And it as stay like that for the last 500 years.
Me You know that advancements on Earth takes time, don’t you?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation But on 200 years on Earth, there’s always new things appearing!!! In Japan nowadays, there’s Manga, Anime, Videogames, movies, robots!!!! They have robots!!!! Moving, talking robots!!!
Me Yeah, looks that You really didn’t went to earth recently. But what is that you want me to do for you?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation I need you to defend, rule or help one of those races to advance and evolve faster than any of the other races.
Me Just one off them? How many are there? What kind?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Well, that’s I mean Well, first I have some questions for you, as a test.
Me ||Still evading questions|| A test? Ok, ask away. But considering that I’m dead, floating up here, you can just make me do and accept everything.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation It doesn’t work that way. Question 1, you choose defend, rule or help one of my races?
Me I choose help all off them.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Help all of them????
Me Yes.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation I see… Question 2, even if one of the races is not human?
Me Yes… wait, what kind of world is Yours???
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Pretty, different, amazing, magical…
Me Sounds interesting. Next question.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Okkkkkk… My world as different races and is filled with Magic, which if one is born with an aptitude for it, can use at will. Question 3, knowing all this, what is your answer?
Me I’m in.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Wait, you don’t want to think it through? The previous 5 took some time to decide. The last one took some days thinking and questioning me. Are you sure?
Me You conquered me with the part about helping different races.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation I knew I had chosen well… Now, I’m going to offer you the possibility to choose 2 gifts and you will gain them upon your birth on my world. And I even let you choose from the 4 main races, where you wish to be born.
Me Can I make some questions also?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Ah, so you have doubts… ask away then.
Me What are the 4 main races? There are smaller races then? What kind of Magic exists on your world? What kind of development is on Your World? What kind of Gifts can you give me? And only 2? Will I see You again or can I ask anything to You if I ever need help or advices?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation So many questions!!!
Ok, there’s Human, Elfians, Dwarfs and Beastkind.
Smaller in numbers, there’s Dragonics, Demonoids, Fairies, Mermaids, Beasts, Magical Beasts.
There’s also normal animals, normal plants.
There’s Magic of the attributes Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Dark.
Development, their stuck on medieval Europe with strong influence off Japanese culture, Japanese way of life and Bushido, the way of the warriors.
Gifts, ask and I see what I can do. You can get a maximum of 2, not more. Any more than that, and you could become a God.
If you behave properly, I’ll let you see me again. But I still want that you pray to me and thank me for your life on my world. After all, I’m a Goddess!!
Me mmmhhh.. is there a human country, a peaceful one, were more races live?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Yes, of course.
Me Ok Can I be born on that country, on a small village away from big cities? And my parents can be gentle and kind? I want to live peacefully, until I grow up.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Are you sure???? You can be born on a capital, on a noble family or a merchant family!!!
Me Too much trouble. For my first gift, can I retain all the memories of my previous life, along with everything that I learned or saw, since I was born there?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation mmmhhh. Done!
Me You said there’s Magic of the attributes Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Dark and if one is born with an aptitude for it, can use at will. I suppose one needs to practice and learn a lot, not only relying on aptitude, correct?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation That’s about right.
Me For my second Gift, I want to be able to use Magic from all the attributes. And can I start practicing while on my mother belly?
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation What?????????? All of them??? And you want to practice them even before being born????
Me Yes. I suppose I need to start as soon as possible, for so many attributes.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation Well, you need in fact to start early to master one attribute… but all of them… it will be very hard… I suppose I can do that… there’s no rules about it…Ah, it’s better if you just learn how to fell the Magic Flow before you born. And practice only when you can move your body properly so that you can run away if you lose control of your Magic!!!
Me Understood. Don’t now what is that Magic Flow, but I will try.
Little girl/Aria, the Goddess of Creation mmmhhh. Done! I wish you a good life. I’m counting on you.
Me Thank you. Goodbye very cute, small and young Goddess.
Aria, the Goddess of Creation knnnya knnnya knnnya
And while the sound of her laughter was disappearing, I was also.
