A lound banging woke Ren from her peaceful sleep as her younger
brother threw open the door. "Nergüi!!! Why is all my cloths
swapped?! They all are dresses!" Yao yelled, stomping towards his
sister's bed. Sitting up gracefully, Ren folded her hands on her
lap, looking at Yao calmly. "Little Yao, Little Yao, I will be
honest with you." Pausing, Ren looked at the clock, mildly
surprised at the time, before smiling at her brother. "I don't
know." Yao screeched and threw a pillow at Ren, storming out.
Rummaging through his closet, Yao put on the manliest dress he
could find, which was evidently not all that manly. Ren on the
other hand slipped on her usual robes, swishing out of her room to
the area were the ceremony would be conducted, humming a song she
heard the other day.
Matthew yawned, padding to the ceremonial place. He knew that his
chances of being picked were slim. No one payed any attention to
him in the regular day to day life, so what we're the chances of a
God noticing him?
Standing infront of the entrance, Zero looked inside, nervous. She
didn't want to go in just yet. There wasn't enough people for her
to blend in, and honestly, she didn't want to be noticed.
Melody- She glared at the others. "Stop demeaning the humans." She
hated the other gods. Most of them where arrogant and the ones who
weren't had other major flaws. She put on some music. She hoped
that she'd pick a pure hearted human.
Flare- She sighed. What had she signed up for?
Missy- She stood and wondered what would happen next.
Harmony slowly enter the building that the choosing was suppose to
take place in.She glanced around seeing many mortals along with
Gods and Goddesses.She gulped before backtracking and ended up
running into someone.She spinned around to see what she assumed was
a man.The man was wearing a black cloak that had a white puffy part
on top of it."I..I'm sorry sir." she said her voice sounding a bit
airy,but yet also frightened.She couldn't believe how stupid she
was to run into someone.
Zero's eyes widened when someone bumpped into her. Not to mention
that this person called her 'sir'. "It's quite alright. Just be
more careful next time, okay?" Zero replied, smiling faintly to put
the girl at ease.
"I think I have to agree with Melody on this one." Ren agreed,
setting a hand daintly in the fellow Goddesses shoulder. "We should
treat the humans with respect, not treat them like objects."
Patting Melodies head, Ren walked to her seat, sitting down like a
princess.
Yao trudged out and plunked down on the seat beside Ren, scowling.
His dress was less than ..... Appealing to say the least. Sure he
was born with a female body, but does that give the other Gods the
right to mock him for identifying as a male? Probably not.
Harmony's eyes widen at her relization that she called a female
sir."Y..Yes ma'ma."She said backing up slightly just incase the
female infront of her tried to attack her like everyone else in the
village did.Harmony winced slightly,feeling one of her cuts she
obtained a couple of days ago open up.
"I..I'm fine." Harmony said.It seemed like no matter how hard she
tried she couldn't keep the stutter out of her voice.She felt the
blood slowly trail down her back.She needed to get to a source of
water so that way she could patch herself up again.
Jerri watched as the song goddess shook the hands of several other
mortals. "C'mon Hercie, let's go see if we can shake her hand,"
Jerri whispered excitedly. She virtually dragged her husband - who
was struggling to put on his glasses - up to the group who was
shaking hands.
"B-Bonjour," Hercules whispered to Melody after being dragged up by
his fun-loving wife. "S-Sorry, I mean g-good day."
"Okay so you speak Kalosian when you're nervous, it's okay," Jerri
mouthed to her husband, who smiled at her.
"Oh my stars it's you guys!" an excited voice exclaimed.
"Reioko!" Jerri responded, turning around before being hugged by
the excited ideals goddess. "Good to see you too."
"Sorry, I was just so excited. So I see you've met Melody?"
From her experience, Zero knew that this girl was mostly likely not
okay, but decided not to pry. "Alright then. If you ever need any
help, just find me okay?"
Ren squeezed Yao's hand excitedly. This was the first time that Yao
decided to come to this ceremony to pick a human is over five
centuries. She felt bad that hey brother had to have this prank
played on him in this special day, but she knew that some of the
gods were not so accepting of his sudden change in gender.
Matthew shyed away from the group of five that were chatting
happily. He did want to intrude on anything.
Hercules bowed formally, with Jerri breaking out of Reioko's death
hug and curtsying swiftly before being hugged by the goddess of
ideals once more.
"Well, I think we should go meet the others," Hercules said kindly,
bowing again before being dragged off by Rei, who was also dragging
Jerri off. Zheira sighed, floating after his sister. He dipped his
head to Melody as he followed.
Melody- She stood up and excused herself. She walked over to Ren
and Yao. "Good to see you Yao. I don't think I've seen you here for
awhile. Good day Ren, you look beautiful today." She tipped her
head. "So anything interesting happen lately?"
Harmony stood shock that someone would offer to help her."O..Okay."
she said confused.Why would someone offer to help her?Did this
woman want something in return?She shook her head before slipping
her way back inside the room where the choosing would happen.She
looked around to see a Goddess shaking everyones hand.
Oliver had spent a bit too much time sitting, as he noticed
the time. "Oh dear!" He yelped, standing and racing out the door.
His heels clicked as he sprinted, fearing he would be late. He
practically tumbled into the ceremonial place, and panted. He
looked around, and sighed.
Harper sighed, watching the mortals pittle around and chat. She
licked her lips, and adjusted one of the flowers in her curly hair.
She slumped more, groaning. "Chill, Shaymin." A soft voice piped up
from beside her. Harper glanced up to see Espy smiling at her.
"Only if you do. I know you're ansty." Espiana blinked, and shook
her head. Harper laughed.
"Rei, they should probably head back," Zheira muttered, adjusting
his mask that covered the area of his eyes. The ribbons that
branched off from it danced in the wind before glowing bright red.
Smoke started to pool and the group of four started panicking.
"Oh stars, what's happening?" Hercules asked, glancing at Jerri and
Reioko.
Missy- She saw a nice looking human an in a dress and heels. They
where running and they stopped. She ran over to them. "Hi, I'm
Missy. I assume you are going to be looking to live with a god or
goddess."
Melody- "Well I hope we can catch up soon. I want to go meet
everyone." She walked off.
Oliver glanced over at a voice, and smiled at the girl.
"Ah, yeah. I'm Oliver." She said softly, smiling. He shifted his
weight, rubbing the back of his neck softly. He glanced around,
fingers messing with the fabric of his dress softly.
