《Grasping》Chapter 30: The question
Advertisement
Finally done checking out my abilities, I decided to save figuring out the changes to my soul at a later time. I found that my apo- former apostle and the new goddess of mischief, Dice, was staring at me. Immediately, she got down into a kneel and greeted me.
" Lord Magnus!"
She stared into my eyes with anticipation.
" Stand my dear Dice, you are a god now. Come give me the hug you promised me."
Her eyes lit up in joy and she jumped at Magnus, giving him a tight hug.
" So! My lord di-"
" Call me Magnus."
" Bu-"
" Come on now, you are a god too."
" M-magnun-s"
The girl bit blushed due to her blunder. Magnus simply smiled and spoke.
" To answer your question, no I did not figure out how the ascension works. I did find out why this world's gods have their emotions dulled. I managed to save some of Rory's emotions and most of yours."
" Oh, Rory! Where is she? The other gods?"
" Not sure, this is my first time entering the 5th dimension. Your welcome, by the way."
Dice blushed at his remark and thanked him."
" Thank you, Lord Magnus!"
Magnus swatted her head.
" Stop with the lord nonsense."
The goddess chuckled and ran ahead.
" What are we waiting for?! Let's go find the rest of the gods."
" Wait!"
Magnus called out to the Dice.
" I must ask you a question. It is important."
" What is it, you c-"
Dice stopped and turned around, only to see Magnus' serious expression.
" You must know, as an apostle. I am different from the rest of the gods. I am foreign, an outsider. I am a traveller. Will you, my daughter, travel with me?"

Dice schooled her expressions and put serious thought into her god's question. A question that would change her destiny. Seeing this, Magnus began rambling.
" We could gain power together, research new things, see new things-"
" My Lord, what would happen if I don't travel with you?"
Magnus stopped and gulped.
" N-nothing. I will leave and maybe visit you once in a while..."
Dice smiled and asked.
" Will we cause some mischief on our travels?"
" Yes... Yes! A lot of mischief!"
Magnus promised.
" Then, all right. I will travel with you, my lord." Dice beamed at her father.
