A New Beginning

Almost 10 minutes later I managed to pacify myself.

"So what happened" I asked Rick, wanting him to continue his story.

"That was quick, usually people cry out for quite some time when they lost something important." Rick said, sounding a bit amazed.

"Yeah you get used to it when you've being losing things since childhood." I replied. "You become numb after a while. But that's enough about me please continue."

"See due to their actions you had become one of their prized possession. Something like a trophy. "

"That's nice." I responded. "Feels good to know that the gods thought of me as a prize."

"Yeah but you know the saying 'one person's prize is another person's cause of jealousy' "

"Haven't heard that saying anywhere. Is that this world saying? "

"Nah! Made that up on the spot. Pretty good huh."

"It's nice. But is that saying related to what happened to my world. "

"Yeah see what happened was that one of the gods from another world had enough of them parading you around like a trophy and asked them if they would accept you in their version of afterlife."

"Huh?"

"They said yes."

"So how does that relate to my world dying?"

"They all said yes"

"Oh"

"There was a big battle which wiped out half the universe and then it collapsed in on itself. "

"Oh"

"Yeah the administrator was pissed. The gods who survived plus the god who instigated them had their divinity revoked and were sent back into the soul stream"

"The what now." I ask.

"The soul stream? It's like a pool, where souls return to after their time in the respective universe ends." He replied. "The administrator was impressed and curious by you who managed to convince the gods and goddesses to battle it out for you. He himself searched for your soul. He saw your past and decided to assign you to a world where you might be able to use your skills to improve the quality of life. Hell, he even gave me the authority to bring some of the equipment of your world if possible to help with your task."

"That's a heavy responsibility for someone who only knows how to mix drinks and make some food. what does he want for me to specifically do?"

"He just told me to tell you take your own time and that you may experience some problems here but he's confident that you'll be able to sort them out yourself."

"That's nice."

"Also he's given you immortality and a loads of different magic to use."

"The fuck." I blurted out. That sounds like a hassle.

"He also told me to give you this bag. It has some clothes based on your world plus some clothes which are a fusion of this world and your world both types have special effects also a decent amount of money so you should be able to live for sometime till you find a way to survive."

Rick handed me a small single strap bag, the type which you sling across your chest. It looked a lot like the bag which i used. The same size as well.

"Looks a bit small for something which has money and clothes." I mocked

"Magic dude, I'll explain later." He said in an easy going voice.

Right I forgot about that."Cool." Well clothes and money is always needed when travelling somewhere new. I look at what I was wearing, just some plain Jeans and T-Shirt, same as what I was wearing yesterday evening.

"So how about we start walking. I still have some time to kill before I'm summoned by the administrator for an update on your situation. I'll give you a run down your magic and skills. Plus some information about the area.

"Cool" I stand up and stretch before asking. "So where are we going."

"Well there's a city up north a few dozen kilometers away, its a decent one so you should be able to find your bearings there. And, there's a lake an hours walking distance from here, its on the way so lets go there. Freshen up a bit"

"Sounds good. Lets go."
