Chapter 5
~Nora's POV~
I chuckle as I throw another soul of the dammed into father's bowl. Hearing their shrieks and cries of terror and pain is like music to my ears. So much that sometimes it makes me chuckle. I am now the age of 15 and considered as a lethal young goddess. "Keep crying and screaming. I enjoy your pain and suffering!" I yell at the damned spirit. I could hear footsteps from behind me, so I turned around to be embraced by my father. "My daughter, watching you torment the souls and spirits of the damned makes me proud. So much so that I have a special gift for you." He said. "Really father?! Oh thank you!" I reply with a large smile. And at that, he carried me in his huge arms back to the palace. "Father?" "Yes my daughter?" "I want to become strong and powerful like you." When I told him that, he chuckled. "Nora, you are the Princess of Xibalba of Metnal. The day of your birth, you were already as powerful as me. However it takes constant training to increase your control of your powers. Now close your eyes." He said as he then ordered a slave to go and bring me my present. "Can I look now father?" "Not yet." A few moments later he told me to open my eyes. When I opened them, I saw a jaguar cub. "Aww! Father I love him! Oh thank you!" I said as I ran to hug him. "His name is Tepeyollotl and he is all yours."
Meanwhile with Rita...
I walked up to my father Quetzequattal, who was currently watching over the humans below through the clouds. "Father? Father, can I ask you a question?" I asked. He then let out a chuckle. "You already did young one."
'he may be my father but he can also be a smart ass.' "Very funny father. But I'm being serious, I need your help." "Alright my daughter. What is it?" "Every night, I have this dream. I see two young girls. One of them I recognize as me. I'm being lifted into the heavens to be with you and the others. But on the earth, there is another girl who looks just like me. She runs after me, calling out my name with her arm extended, like she is trying to reach me. I notice that I'm crying and reaching for her too.
