Chapter 32
In the galaxy far far away from Keinnayi's palace, a goddess is seen sitting on the strange bench with golden wings at the sides curling upward. She has white skin that will not lose to Keinnayi and blonde hair which is floating and waving freely behind her back. She is wearing a white dress and on her chest gold ornaments adorned the dress.
She has a golden belt with a sun symbol on her stomach, an indication that she rules over the souls. She wears a pair of white stocking also adorned with gold ornaments. She has white long cloth falling freely from her waist, held with a golden belt. On her forehead is a golden horizontal symbol like a crown can be seen. With golden handguards on her hands, she is holding a mirror with a golden frame on her right hand.
She muttered,
"Isn't there any soul that is worth my attention?" (Goddess Lashili)
She is Lashili Ksliphmi, the goddess of reincarnation and the overseer of souls. Of course, she is not the only one who has the title of goddess of reincarnation. There are other gods and goddess with the same title ruling over some worlds or universes. But, Goddess Lashili is an exception in that she did not watch over souls of the specified worlds or universe.
She watches over souls from all universes there is in existence and she only watches over those who interest her. Whether a mortal soul or immortal soul, there are a few things it must-have for her to pay attention. One of the main reason is to interest her. Other may think that her ways are crude because she is selfish but, no one dares to tell her in the face because of her personality.
Right now, she is making the mirror she created from her divinity to search a soul that will interest her. After a few moments, the mirror turn black and a white shining ball can be seen floating in the void.
"Hm? A soul in the void? What is..? Ah. This faint divinity that is enveloping the soul, It must be that girl. *sigh* What is she planning now with this poor soul? Let's look at its information." (Goddess Lashili)
She would have overlooked at it if the soul is in somewhere else but, the soul is in the void. So, she cannot let it be and see the information of the soul. A document or rather a scroll appeared on her left hand. She let go of the mirror which levitates beside her as soon as it gets out from her hand.
"Hm.? Let's see what did you do?" (Goddess Lashili)
After a few minutes of reading through the scroll which contains all the information of the soul, she chuckled,
"hm hm.., A brave soul huh? It has done a great deal of merit. His karma point is good. Hmm... Let's meet him and see what he will do." (Goddess Lashili)
As soon as Lashili finished muttering, she looked at a direction and frowned a little. After a few moments, she noticed a distortion in her realm she rule over. She immediately sensed to feel the aura of the two young goddesses.
She let them in her space after thinking that they will not come here without a reason. She sways to her right and supports her chin with her right hand on the handle of the bench she is sitting; with her fingers on her cheek. The two goddesses; one with a white dress and white wings, Kenniayi and one with a golden fitted dress with golden wings with scale, Algadore appeared.
They bowed towards Lashili and greeted her,
"Greetings, Goddess Lashili" (Keinnayi and Algadore)
(AN: As they are different by two whole levels, they address her with utmost politeness. I will post a chapter about ranking later. Now, Enjoy the story.)
"Hm... What do the two troublemakers of heaven want with me, I wonder?" (Goddess Lashili)
She speaks slowly but her clear voice seems to speak directly to their soul and they can't help but be a little nervous. But, their expression is serious without an ounce of playfulness. Keinnayi step up and look directly towards Lashili and speak,
"I thank you for giving us time though you are busy. Goddess Lashili, I would like to request that you give a soul, a chance to reincarnate." (Keinnayi)
Lashili curled her lips upward and asked with mocking expression.
"Why should I do that? And what will I get in return?" (Goddess Lashili)
The most important question comes, Keinnayi thought. She knows she can't mess this up and if she did, she can't even imagine the punishment Lashili will give her for wasting her time. She takes a deep breath and organize her thoughts.
"His name is Embra. Sky Embra. He is a mortal but at his last moment, he saved many children's lives. Before his death, he also did things that affected the whole world and bring many people happiness. He would surely get good karma points for this. Please take a look at his life once and you will see. If you desire a price, I don't have many but please do tell me anything you desire and I will make sure to obtain it." (Keinnayi)
Lashili raised an eyebrow seeing Keinnayi's strong eyes, filled with strong determination. She doubted for a second whether one of the troublemakers of Haven was this polite before but, she does not dwell on the subject any longer and ask amused.
"Why would you go that far just for a mortal?" (Goddess Lashili)
"I met him five years ago in the mortal world. Circumstances lead to another and we stayed together for five years. He became close to me. Before I know it, he has already taken a place in my heart. After his death, I want to give him a chance to become a god and be together with him in the future. I-If he is not destined to be a god than, I will stay with him together at every life he is reborn till I die." (Keinnayi)
Keinnayi's feelings of sorrowfulness come out when mentioning the possibility of Embra not destined to be a god. The two goddesses did not miss that. Goddess Lashili looks at the young goddess in front of her in silence for a few minutes and suddenly laugh,
"*laugh loud* I can see your love for that mortal and I can also see that they are real. ... very well, I will reincarnate him. In fact, I was going to do so and you two came before I can call him here. So, I will allow you to assist me in reincarnating him " (Goddess Lashili)
Keinnayi was nervous talking with Lashili that her imaginary stomach is making her feel weird. But, when she heard the last sentence of Lashili, she became extremely happy that tears are forming at her eyes. She was relieved that the goddess of reincarnation who doesn't like to be disturbed in her works, allowed her to assist. She bowed and thanked Lashili.
"Thank You Goddess Lashili, Thank you. How can thank you for this great debt?" (Keinnayi)
"If you truly want to thank me then, vowed here with your name that you will be the first to come whenever I am in a pinch." (Goddess Lashili)
Keinnayi felt puzzled that why would one of the most powerful goddesses in the heaven be in pinch and what will she do about it as she is weaker than her. But, a promise is a promise and she decided to vow.
"I, the guardian goddess of time and space, Keinnayi Dewei vowed here that whenever goddess Lashili is need of me, I will come immediately as soon as I can." (Keinnayi)
"Not first?" (Goddess Lashili)
Amused with the words of Keinnayi, Lashili ask her, who then lowers her head in embarrassment.
"I do apologize as I don't have the divinity to hear the prayers. I can only listen to your voice in my mind." (Keinnayi)
"Then, I shall be the first." (Algadore)
A voice spoke from behind Keinnayi who is troubled. The voice brought the attention of the two goddesses and they turn to Algadore, the god of all dragon.
"Al, you don't need to.." (Keinnayi)
"No, Dewei. I told you I will help you, right> If you lack the divinity to hear the prayers and messages, I will listen to them and I will relay them to you ." (ALgadore)
Keinnayi feels warm at her heart that her friend truly cares for her. Algadore than vowed to be the first to answer Lashili's prayers and wishes and will relay them to Keinnayi.
"Mm... I am satisfied. Now, come to my side. Keinnayi summons him here." (Goddess Lashili)
"Yes. " (Keinnayi)
As first, she feels nervous. Lashili is well-known among gods for being a fierce and easy to angry goddess if she ever does not like something. Keinnayi was nervous and being tensed at first but, she now knows that Goddess Lashili is not as scary as others say. She became more relaxed around her. Algadore is also feeling the same but, she never let her guard down around Goddess Lashili. They both go beside Goddess Lashili after Kenniayi open [Void gate] and let Embra's soul enter. Goddess Lashili hides the two goddesses with her divinity and welcome Embra.
"Welcome to my palace. I am the goddess of reincarnation, Lashili Ksliphmi." (Goddess Lashili)
