21 C21 Auryn's New Gif

An Hour Previous - Auryn's POV

Auryn had slept deeply, the power that she had gained settled inside herself as the entire process was taxing on her own body, her eyes fluttering as she opened them to look at the bright sun overhead, looking around as she was somewhat confused about what had happened.

The tree above her fluttering lightly in the wind, the warm grass under her soft to the touch as her gaze moved around, looking at everyone else. She noticed that everyone had mixed, soldiers and regular people seemed to be together, eating and sharing a drink.

She found the entire situation strange as she looked at the groups mixing without any issue, she even saw some people laughing and enjoying the sun, it was the first time the group had enough time to sit and rest.

She saw Feya and Lee talking, each of them discussing topics together, Feya catching her eye as they both turned and started to walk towards her, Feya looking concerned while Lee is looking stoic and distant.

"Hey Auryn, how are you doing. what happened?"

Auryn was confused by the question; the answer was a rather simple one. She knew the answer, but no matter how many times she ran it by herself, she kept wondering if it was even possible.

"I've gained power, the same power that the Demigods use."

She stopped to think about it, her power was much smaller than prior, the explosive power that was inside her was now but a small strand that she could feel just inside her heart. It was like the difference between a siege weapon and a bow at this moment.

"How is that possible, why did he give you the power and such a strange one at that?"

Auryn looked at Feya with just a soft smile; most people did not understand her culture. It was all down to the legends that had been passed down and misinformation that had been spread due to rumours.

"We as a people have lost the ability to reproduce, have you heard of divine creatures?"

Feya looked confused again as she had never heard of such a concept, her gaze shifting over to Lee as she wondered if the man had any knowledge on the subject.

"Please Feya, giving me such a look will drill a hole into my soul."

Lee chuckled as his expressionless face turned softer due to the gaze, his hand massaging the sides of his chin as he took a moment to think.

"Well, I've heard some tales, divine creatures that are unable to survive without the assistance of the Demigods. The creator god having made such creatures in the Great Holy City but some of his divine children having taken them down into the world."

Auryn nodded her head; this was the simplest way to say it, her eyes looking around as she looked at the grass and flowers around her, this small patch of paradise in the desert making her smile. "Yes, well when our Demigod lost his life, we lost a lot of our powers, including the ability to bear children."

Her face grew sad as she shook her face, looking at them as she pulled her smile back on. "Nathan's power which has been given to me is a chance for me to revive my people, our race is on the brink, but with this, we can have a chance at a future."

Feya nodded her head as she had accepted this fact, though Lee was not so easily convinced at this being a pure blessing, he knew that something was wrong as his hand continued to stroke his face.

"Small thing, Auryn you know the Demigods as you must have been around during the great war. Have you ever heard of a Demigod giving a divine gift of this scale on someone."

Auryn stared at the man; she did not expect that he was so well versed in ancient history to know that this was such a strange thing to happen. She took a few moments as she put a smile onto her face.

"You are right; it has never happened before. Some Demigods have powers to grant boons on people or to do miracles, I've never seen one give away an actual divine gift before." She took a moment to think as she needed to be careful, this man must be someone special if he was here at such a time and could do such unusual actions.

"When Ingros was around, he told his allies that his powers had been given by the creator god, the all mighty one who had control over our lives. He even said that with the flick of his wrist he could delete entire areas just by his whim. He also said that the powers given could never be transferred, they were only to be received by the creator god."

Feya started to open her mouth, apparently in shock as she listened to this part, looking at them both as she began to laugh with a smile.

"You can't mean that he is the creator god! He's so skinny and famished!"

Feya said while laughing, Lee also laughing at the joke as they both did not think it was possible. It was closer to being something different or maybe a different power that allowed tempory transfer or part ability transfer.

Auryn laughed with them; she felt different from them as she held her thought's deep. She would need to speak to Nathan when she next saw him as this was almost too crazy to think.

She remembered the words spoken by Ingros, the words that stuck with her when he talked about the creator god.

"The creator god is not someone you should underestimate. If you look at him and judge with first impressions, then you will be in trouble. He looks powerless until you watch him shift entire continents around just because he likes the sunset on certain beaches!"

She still remembered the words from her mentor and Demigod, while he may be gone at this point she could always keep a place in her heart for him.

'It can't be, is he the creator god... No, It cant be.' She thought.

Though the doubt had already started to grow.
