New Life

The white soon becomes a hallway. It looks like a prison hallway. I see a possum in front of me. I look at it confused. Why am I in a prison and what is up with the possum? I don't have much time to think before the possum speaks.

"I have been watching you." It sounds like the god of all gods thing. 

"Why?"

"Because you were offered to have powers but you denied them."

"I was a kid. I had my reasons."

"You found this place with your little boyfriend. You were worth it. Anyway, I wanted to know why you didn't take it so I followed you for a few years but when you came back here I started following you more again."

I pause for a moment. "Is that the noise I heard when we were on the rocks?"

"Yes, I was. I'm surprised that you heard me."

"I heard something but I didn't think anything of it."

"I guess you have good hearing but that's not what I am here for. You are going to become me. Just like how your friends are becoming the gods you choose for them. Or well that they choose for themselves."

"So then what will happen to you?"

"I will die. You will take my place and you and your family will take the others places. You guys will contour this planet."

Before I could respond, everything goes black for me. When I wake up, I am taller and I can tell that my appearance is different but I can't see myself. I see Lukus, who is taller than before and he has watches all over his arms and his clothes are gold and silver. He is on the ground setting the clocks. Hope has pencils and notepads all over her. She is wearing a lot of colors on her. She is on the ground drawing with some kind of animal next to her. It looks like a mix between a bunny and a cat. The bunny cat mix is sleeping, I think, next to her. Everett is covered in black, a scythe in his hand. He has a tiger skull by the looks of it on his head. His face has a shadow over it. He is wearing a black cloak over him. He is sitting down next to Hope as he watches her make the new bunny cat thing or at least that is what it looks like. I smile slightly as I look at them. We all do look more human than the other gods which is good. We will be able to blend in more with humans. After a bit, Lukus sees me and runs up to me and hugs me close.

"Dad. You are back and safe. You look different."

"So do you kiddo. We should leave."

"Dad, you should see your room here first."

"My room?"

"Yes. Papa was the first one here and he realized that now there are only four doors. One for all of us and they seem to fit what we all need, human and god wise. This could be our home." 

I look around and he is right. There are only four doors, with different designs and with our names on them.

"I guess we can stay here. Let me see my room and then we can officially move in here. Wait, who is Papa?"

"Everett. Me and Hope agreed that now both of you are our dads since you guys have made it clear that you both love each other and we are both your kids."

"Does Everett know about this?"

"Yes, he does."

I nod my head slightly as I walk into the room with my name on it. It has a double size bed. The room is blue. There is a bedside table, two dressers that are filled with clothes that fit my new size and the other one has clothes that would fit me before I become a god. There are weapons that are made from a metal that I have never seen before on the dresser. I sit down on my bed. It's quite soft. I hear my door open and I see Everett walking in. 

"Hello Everett."

"Hi. Do you have time to talk?"

"Yes, I do. What do you want to talk about?"

"Your confession."

"I guess now would be a good time to talk about it. Come sit down."

Everett sits down next to me. "Do you want to date?" Wow, getting right to the point. Well, it's good that we can get this over with and not be weird between us.

"Yes, I do, but do you mean go on a few dates and then become boyfriends or become boyfriends and then go on dates?"

I see Everett pause for a second. "Which one would you prefer? Because I just want to date but if you want to go on a date or two before dating I am fine with that."

I think for a second. "How about we go on a date first and then we can date? Then we will know what dating each other will be like before we are fully committed to this."

Everett smiles. "That sounds nice. We can do that."

I smile back at him slightly. "Then we can do that."

Everett hugs me close and I hug him back. His tiger skull does hit my head slightly but I don't say any as we just hold each other close. After a few minutes, Hope and Lukus come in very happy.

"Dad! Dad! Dad!" They both shout as they come into my room. They both look back to normal again and the bunny cat hybrid is alive and sitting down on Hope's shoulders. I smile at them as I let go of Everett. We both sit down on the ground as Hope sits down on Everett's lap and Lukus sits down on my lap.

"We are human again." Hope exclamation. 

"Yes, sweetheart you are." Everett responds.

"Can I show you how too?"

"Yes, you can."

Everett and Hope leave, leaving me and Lukus alone. Lukus looks up at me.

"Can I show you?"

"Yes, you can."

Lukus starts up and helps me turn back into a human. Once I am human again, we head out of my room. Everett is human again as well but something that I can see now is that all of our injuries have been healed. 

"Is everyone ready to leave this place?"

"I know I am." Everett signs in relief. 

We all leave but this time when we open the door we are right back at the rocks. We head back to Everett's place when I see that the time is the same as when we left so the babysitter isn't here. I hear Everett calling the babysitter that he doesn't need to come over anymore.

"So dad, are you and papa dating yet?"

I smile down at Lukus. "We are going to go on a date first and then we will."

"Yay."

Over the next few months, we all get used to our new abilities. We move everything into the new rooms in the "God Realm'' as we are calling it. Everett and I have started dating. Hope and Lukus are very happy about that. Both kids are going to school and are doing well. I can make new gods and give the others more abilities, so I have made it so Everett can kind of pause time when he is colliding the dead but it's more like time gets extremely slow. I have made it so Lukus isn't affected by this as at first he was and he hated it so I fixed it for him. I am still running the base. Daniel and Sanna are now married but they are still our personal doctors. I hope that maybe one day in the future I can make a biological kid between me and Everett. I haven't talked to him about it but maybe one day, I will.
