Glow

"Chambers?" I asked to which he nodded.

"The chambers is a mythical moving place. It consist of seven rooms. Why seven, I don't know. Guess it's a biblical thing. Anyways in these seven rooms there is seven randomly chosen gods, deities, even old titans. These seven gods are directly involved in the person's life or at least what they control is directly involved. They bring you through your past, future, outlining your flaws and showing things that you think have no idea that can help. It's a risky thing of course. No way to control what happens, what your going to have to do or who your going to encounter but the results work, Jake. It makes you the person you were meant to be but at a terrible cost."

"So how many people have done this 'chamber' thing?" I asked him.

"Many people. All survived but in different states of course. That's what the chambers are there for after all, to change you. For better or worse. Now I want you to do it not because your connected to us but with the amount of baggage you have and the fact that you don't want to talk about anything. The chambers can help you, Jake. "

"Okay."

"Okay?" K looked taken aback. He probably hadn't expected me to agree so fast.

I mean why not? If they want me to talk about my past then let it be a random god/goddess that can actually change me. I mean can I get any worse? I was a player. Then I was a gangster. A gangster that destroyed buildings, killed people by the hundreds, done illegal things that can get me many life's in jail.

Simply put I don't want to be like this. K was helping but I needed more. I don't need power even though I'm getting a ton load of it. I needed to be me. And this was apparently going to be it.

"Yeah sure. I mean I need the help. I may not trust the world but I guess something drastic needs to be done to get me there. And if this is it then let's nip it in the butt."  I said enthusiastically. K picked up on my mood change and got up as well.

"Yeah just never say that again. I'll take you after you've rested up. Your body is a bit, um, empty from your rose which by the way is still sitting outside."

"What? You didn't bring it inside?" I shouted and ran outside, forgetting the fact that I have no pants on.

Still in its same place, it stood in its perfect stance somehow defying the elements.

"Hey bud, I'm sorry for leaving you outside for...um how long have I been out?" I asked myself out loud only for the rose to answer me.

I don't know how I understood it but I guess it's a maker connection, a special thing that connected us.

"Two days?" I shouted, interpreting the glows from rose.

I had been out for two days? For making a plant that took, apparently, an hour? Okay, true that I broke almost everything physically inside my body. But two days? Shiiiiit.

"Um so what's your name?" I asked.

Glow

Translation: My names Rose, obviously. Do you have a better name?

Pretty long for one glow, huh?

"Okay, no need to be sassy. Can you like survive out of the ground and anything?"

I can survive anywhere but as a plant I belong to the earth.

"Does that mean you want to go somewhere?" I asked to which it 'nodded'.

"Okay then." I shoved my hand deep into the ground and scooped Rose out. It glowed with power before floating in my hand.

"So even though I know your perfect, how are you so?"

I have the ability to do what's in the best interests of me and you. Things that are considered perfect. You are my friend and I'll do anything for you within reason to benefit you and me. That's how I am 'perfect'.

Before I could ask anymore questions, Rose floated straight into my hand. The glow and the power she radiated absorbed into my body. Wait, dammit did I just kill her?

No

Oh thank gods.

"Say how come your a girl and not a boy? Was it me that made you so or are girls just perfect?"

The latter.

Typical.

I walked around the house to the front, talking with Rose and sightseeing my new house. When I rounded the corner, a sleek, low, black BMW. In the driver seat sat a young man that looked impeccably like me just older. His black eyes swirled when he saw me.

"Hey, Exodus." I said.

He gestured with his head to the seat next to him, "Get in, we need to talk."

"Um, can I get pants first?"
