There are some realities which certain fools refuse to accept. One may be brought into their destiny, or they may be specifically purposed for a certain task. Perhaps a child was born to be fodder in a war, or perhaps they were meant to create the path for greater people. Every life, no, every soul had a purpose bestowed upon them by the Goddess, and naturally those souls would accept their jobs. After all, those who deny the will of the Goddess are sinners. They cannot choose what their life is. I did not choose to become the Pope. I heard the words of the Goddess and worked my way into this position to carry out her will. The world of Gresia shall soon know her benevolence. When everyone does their job, things get done. That’s how it has always been.
Yet, why is it that a little brat in Lumie’s body refuses to accept her role?! Why am I laying in my bed suffering from a malicious puncture to my body?! What insolence. Going against me is going against the Goddess herself. The Lumie that appeared that night is cursed. My daughter was never like that. She understood her role. I made sure of it. How else could I be a father if I did not teach my child the way of the world?
When Lumie was to be sacrificed, she did not resist. She followed every step. She trusted in me and the Goddess. She knew our causes were just. When I saw the life drain from her, she did not smile, she did not cry. She had been resolute, unmoving, accepting.
The Lumie I saw that night had not been any of those. She was not my daughter, but I would fix that. I can’t have the physical will of the Goddess making mistakes off on her own. I have sent Fujimoto to bring her to me. When she comes, I will educate her all over again if I must. She will accept her reality.
I prayed to the Goddess, as I did so every day. This time, I was waiting for a message, a command. Her messages were always cryptic, but I always understood her intent. This time, she spoke only a word.
GO.
Of course, Goddess. Your will is mine.
Gonna laugh if he’s only able to hear 1/3 of the goddess’ messages. “GO” being one part of the message “go **** yourself” would be hilarious.
I serious case of selective hearing?
I have this funny image in my head. Of just the pope's actual daughter and the goddess sitting at a round table playing poker. The goddess being misunderstood by the pope or something and so she's just hanging out with the unneeded sacrifice.
He is delusional isn't he...
I would have agreed with you until he heard the word "GO." If he were on earth, I'd say lets get him fitted for a nice jacket that lets him hug himself, however he's in a world where they can and have summoned people. He might not be delusional, just misguided (still wrong af tho.)
@DKnight I don't know. Just because we're in a fantasy world doesn't mean someone hearing voices in their head isn't legit crazy. In actuality, it's even more likely for a schizophrenic to be accepted as a man communing with God. Guy probably got his position as Pope by being literally insane.
@AnimeFreak1982 That's why I said, in that world it's a coin toss. He MAY being hearing things, or it MAY be in his head and he's crazy. All I said was that if it were here, it would be easier to call. Since he's not, it really is a coin toss.
Lol. A goddess can grant a role to a soul but only if its a low rank goddess. A middle rank or more write a mini fate for every soul. This fate can be changed but the interference of these fate can be caused by others gods. And nothing is more humiliating than be a subordinate of a trash rank goddess. (Trash rank goddess if she needs to interfere in this world to keep souls doing their role)
But they can dirrectly interfer if they want their world to give birth of a new god, just have some entertainment or can only exist thanks to human worshipping so she needs to do it to live. Heh. Its hard to do nothing during billions years
nice.
This reminds me of when Isaac’s mom from the game the binding of Isaac was said to have heard the voice of god and it said to basically sacrifice her son or something. Like, that’s not god ur just insane and ret*rded
