I found myself swimming in a dark, black void. How did I get here? I was running from that crazy lady, and then I fell down some stairs and then…..And then..
“You died”
What? Who said that!
“Calm yourself, child. Panic will get you nowhere.”
How can I not panic! I'm surrounded by darkness. The last memory I have is of me falling down a set of stairs, and now a mysterious voice is speaking to me in my mind. How can I not panic! I just-
“Shhhhhhh. Reeeelax”
Suddenly, I felt my body loosen, and a cool wave washed over me. What was I panicking over again? Bah, it doesn’t matter. I should relax and enjoy the moment. Honestly, this feeling is amazing. I feel like I've just finished having a train ran on me. Suddenly, the world around me was illuminated in bright purple light. What is that?
“It’s my eye, child.”
Eye? Suddenly, a large dark purple dot rolled down to look at me. Huh. I guess it was an eye.
“Tell me, my child. What is the one thing you enjoy in the world?”
Sex! Followed by curry and then more sex! Maybe if I'm lucky, both at the same time!
“Hahaha, you're very straightforward, aren't you? Most people would give a more….. modest answer.”
Bleh! Don’t you mean boring people? Look, life is short, so why should you waste it on pointless, boring things? Do what you love! Screw what the boring prudes say. I love sex, and I will do those things to the maximum!
“Hahahahha YES! You truly are the sort of person I've been looking for!”
Looking for? Why the hell were you looking for a slut like me? Wait, are you a recruiter for pornos? Look, I don’t fuck for money.
“Hahaha, I assure you, my dear, I'm not a recruiter, but I am someone who was looking for someone. Not a slut, my dear. But someone who thinks like you. I need someone like you to do something for me.”
And what would that be?
“Well, here is the deal. I bring you back to life, not in your current world. Of course, that bridge has already been burnt.”
Wait what?!
“Oh, how could I forget… It's only been a few moments for you.”
What do you mean? How long have I been here?
“My child, in your world, you have been dead for at least 60 years….. your parents…. Are in the”
Stop! It's fine… You don’t need to say it anymore. I get the idea. fuck. That’s not how I wanted to find out mom and dad are… are….. FUCK!
“…… My child. Bottling emotions will seldom do you any good. Please tell me what's on your mind.”
*sigh* I don’t know, really. A lot is on my mind, I guess. My relationship with Mom and Dad was always rocky; they didn’t like my lifestyle and tried their hardest to “fix” me, and I always hated it, but I could tell it wasn’t done out of malice but out of…..
“Love?”
yeah. It’s just…. I wish i…i…I wish I could have been a daughter they could be proud of, ya know…
Suddenly, something long and purple rose up and brushed up against my eyes.
“You were crying.”
Was I? Sorry. God, this is embarrassing.
“No need to be embarrassed. Here, Have these. I baked them myself.”
There was a bright white flash next to me, and suddenly, a plate of cookies appeared.
“Try them..”
I took one from the plate and took one bite, and holy crap, they were amazing! The softness and chewiness were incredible, and the flavour, MMphh. They were a mix of chocolate and hazelnuts and something else I couldn't put my finger on.
“Universal energy, my child. It always tastes amazing. And the hazelnuts and chocolate were from the universe where those are the only plants that exist.”
Do you have any milk? There was another flash, and a large pitcher of golden milk appeared next to me. I poured myself a glass and drank it; just like the cookies, they were amazing! In no time, I had finished everything.
“Feeling better”
Much better. Thank you
“That’s good.”
A tentacle rose again and ruffled my hair. This is nice. But I still feel….
“feel?”
I sighed. I want to know. Did they live happily after I died?
“Your parents were, of course, distraught when you passed your father, especially as he felt like a failure, but time heals all wounds, not completely, but they do heal. They never forgot you, and they spoke fondly of you because no matter who you were, you were still their daughter. Your parents stayed together, and both passed on happily to the afterlife.”
I See….
“Do you want to pass on to the afterlife? I can arrange that…”
No…no… It's fine, I would just be ripping open old wounds, but the fact that they stayed together makes me happy, Thank you. Now, where were we before we got distracted?
“Yes, I was saying that I can’t bring you back to your original home. However, I can send you to another world I’ve had my eyes on for a while, as long as you are happy to do something for me”
And what would that be?
“Just spread the word of my name, besides that, you are free to do whatever you want, my daughter.”
Daughter? We've just met. I mean, I don’t even know your name.
“I am Ovoucnes, Bearer of chaos.”
That’s a mouthful. Can I call you Ovu for short?
“Hahaha, fine, but I would prefer it if you call me mother instead.”
Why are you so set on adopting me, Ovu?
“I am Ovoucnes, Bearer of chaos. It is in my nature to do things on a whim. So what do you say? Do you accept my daughter?”
Can I have some time to think about it?
“Of course.”
Thank you. So, returning to our previous point. You want me to go to another world, spread your name, and guess your beliefs. How do I do that?
“By being yourself, of course. Do what you love the most, my child. Once you get there, I’m sure it will all come naturally to you.”
You have that much confidence in me?
“Yes, you are my special daughter.”
Okay… I accept.
The inky black void suddenly illuminated with purple.
“Thank you, thank you, my daughter.”
Suddenly, Ovu’s tentacles shot up and around my body. What is she-
“Relax. As my daughter, I have to change you to a form more fitting.”
The tentacles slowly wrapped around my body. A part of me thought they would be cold and slimy, but they were the opposite, warm and smooth like a hug.
“Thank you”
Her tentacles wrapped more and more around my body. First, my legs, then my arms, and soon my torso and head. I should be panicking right now, but I can't. The only thing I wanna know is what these would feel like inside me.
“When you're stronger, my daughter. If I were to do that now, the pleasure would fry your brain”
Bummer. I guess I'll just have to wait. But for now, let's just bask in Ovu’s warmth. Ovu’s very relaxing warmth.
