Behind the doors

Then they put the Dead names by the doors with the eye symbol.

Matei - Then is the sign next to it Life? 

On the next doors was a sign that looked like a whirlwind and another like stars.

Alesio - I don't think so. Probably the room on the opposite side is Life.

On the opposite wall, on the door in the center, you could see a symbol like a flower with four petals.

They tentatively wrote Life on the sheet in front of the door then .

Eve - Maybe the one with the twined star symbol is of Dreams...

Since they were not sure between Dreams or Space, they wrote both on the sheet in front of the doors.

Entonces - Is the whirlwind the sky?

Riposa - I don't think so. There is a wing-like symbol here.

Hogar - Why would the wings symbolize the Sky? Then where would the moon go?

Azzull - That moon symbol is the simplest. It just has something like a ribbon around it. It probably symbolizes something. Certainly not the Space or the Dream.

Humie - This symbol which is very confusing I can't associate it with anything...

Quiere - It's getting ridiculous. Let us enter directly at the door of the so-called god of life. We don't have to figure out whose door it is!

Then the group argued again.

Anka was leaning against the nearest wall. She looked at the people who were talking and asked with indifference.

No other emotion was visible in the eyes or face.

Azul - We can't just walk in like that... What if after entering a door we find that we should know all the associations?

Quiere - Now I say that we must not necessarily be so cautious. We're not in an escape game or anything...

Cual - Don't be stupid. Things must be processed with care...

Riposa - It is not good to be too cautious. I say that there is a good chance that there is not much behind them, let's choose a door that we think is comfortable and enter.

Issa - You mean we should break up?

Humie - Someday we had to part. We are outnumbered after all.

Sineas - If you insist so much, let go. Everyone who wants to wait to stay put.

Then a total of 13 people chose a door and left.

Most were from the camp that didn't care about the rope.

They split into three teams and, the team with Hogar in the lead entered the door that supposedly belongs to Life.

The other had Lu and Ruposa. They chose the whirlwind symbol because they believed it represented the Sky.

The last team, which had Dahon, chose the room with the so-called fire symbol.

When a door was opened the scene that was seen was just a long corridor without anything special.

These people laughed mockingly at those who remained in the room and made themselves invisible behind the doors.

Those who remained in the room became silent.

Matela - If there is anyone else who wants to leave, they are free to do so.

But no one gets up to leave.

Then the conversation turned to symbols.

They generally used a sudoku-like method to score the doors.

In the end, only two doors could not be discerned. These were the symbols for Sky and Feelings.

Both had images that somewhat represent the sky. One that appeared to be two wings and the other was like a whirlwind.

Although they could not make a decision, they decided to try something.

Nao - Do you think we should go through the Dead goddess door?

Bico - I was also asking myself this question, but first I want to ask someone. Like for example: how many of the gods represented by these doors still exist?

Paraiso - That is a very good question...

Sayon - But can this information be known?

Azul - I don't know. I honestly assume I'm alive. I mean, they are gods, right? They should be strong and live long...

Nao - Is alive with everyone. Except for the dead goddess and the Life god, they all still largely control the upper circles.

Issa - Also in a book did you read this?

Nao - No ... it's gossip that I gathered from the circle ...

Madeva - Can such informed people be embarrassed so easily?

Nao - Where do you think it was easy?! I have invested a lot of energy and resources to find out some information!

Sayon - But why did you want to know these things?

Nao looked a little embarrassed but looked at Eva a little and continued talking with a little red face.

Nao - Eve is one of the chief's daughters and we are childhood friends. She is not much noticed in her own house and that is why she stays with me. We ...

Eve - We always wanted to become stronger to prove our existence. But for that we need to gather informants.

Alesio - Do you two want to become gods?

The two nodded shyly.

The others looked at them with admiration. Although they knew that other ordinary beings could become gods, they did not think of becoming one

Mattress - Ahem. Leaving aside the reason. You can share what you found out.

Nao - Honestly, it's not much. There are not many who have the courage to speak openly of the gods where I have been ... 

Nao sighed a little.

Nao - What I found out is that each of them is very discreet. The number of times they have gone public is very small. In the last hundred years they recruited two rookie gods and once again became an alliance of 12 gods. It is known that they and the Alocanai (the council of the 12 leaders of the higher species) have reached an alliance and are planning something big...

Cula - Are you saying they are allies now? Aren't they supposed to be enemies?

Nao - It is said that they did not care much for the betrayal of their ancestors to this species. After all some of the gods are of the higher species...

Madeva - I understand.

Ella - Now, which door do we enter?

Her question left silence. 

Everyone was looking at the doors distractedly. 

William - Why don't you use your power Alesio?

Pavel - Yes. Use the power to see into the future and know what to do!

At their words the group now looks at Alesio. This boy who looked 10 years old had such a useful power…

Matella - Do you have the power to see into the future? What is the price of power usage?

Alesio looked at William and Pavel, then his eyes were fixed on Ella.

The fact that she betrayed him was not a new thing. It already happened the other day. But the fact that she already knew Alesio's powers was inevitable even if they were warned by Anka not long ago.

They've been together for a while already, and it's a known fact that he has time-related powers.
