Chapter 2: Calling

Chapter 2: Calling

Knowing all this, she decided to fast forward all those evolution through the help of us gods. As I sat at the edge of the cave on top of the mountain, combing through the inheritance I suddenly got a feeling of being called.

In an instant, I rose from my seated position, scanning my surroundings to see what was calling me. This took a while before noticing that the call came from above, I slowly looked up to where the call came from but what came to my view was the moon.

Focusing on the moon, I could feel the calling becoming stronger, but I remained on edge because everything was so strange to me. Understanding that the moon was the source of the strangeness calmed me down a bit and gave me some space to think, yet I could find no answer or reasoning for what was happening.

Answering the call was unacceptable until I knew what was going on. I am still new to this world, so caution for the unexpected should be my best approach.

Still not finding a reason for the call, I thought about what might be helpful in this situation—the Inheritance. Maybe Nana added knowledge about this type of situation. The inheritance wasn't helpful, but it mentioned a moon goddess as one of the gods born of Nana. Perhaps she is the cause of all this.

As I continued contemplating the situation, I suddenly felt that the calling stopped before I heard a soft feminine voice, almost like a whisper to my ear: "Why aren't you answering the call, twin brother?

Ikenga subconsciously looked over to his left shoulder as if someone was there but not to his surprise no one was there, composing himself before speaking into thin air " I was lost in thought about why you would be calling"

" If you answered the call, then you would have found out why i was calling"

" True. But since we are now talking. You can go ahead and inform me on why you called?

" There will be a gathering in my place and it is important that you are there" the voice said before disappearing.

Knowing that she was no longer here, Ikenga took a deep breath before laughing out loud thinking back on how he was acting when he got the call. nove(l)bi(n.)com

When he was flying in space to get to the moon, the call came again but this time he answered and with that, a glowing silver portal large enough for his size appeared in front of him and with a sweep of his wings, he got into the portal and the portal closed immediately after him.

The same world where Ikenga is located in, somewhere deep in the ocean where light seems to not exist because of how deep it is, an altar similar to where Ikenga was born can be seen.

At the center of the altar is a huge throne, sitting on the throne is the sea god who was born in earlier years before Ikenga. He got the same call as Ikenga, the difference being he wasn't as hesitant and took the call. He got the message he needed and it seems the message was something of great joy for him.

A grin full of sharp teeth could be seen at the god's face as he stood up from his throne.

"Finally" said the god before speaking into the darkness again "I will be gone in a while, take care of the little guys"

"Yes father" could be heard as four red eyes the size of a tennis ball responded to the god, listening closely to the voices, it seemed to be a male and a female.

Satisfied with the response, the god took a step down his altar before blending in with the water around him. From a bird eye view the ocean looks calm and still even though there are still some currents.

A group of large birds that seems to feed on the creatures of the ocean could be seen flying around, once in a while a group dives into the water and comes up immediately with large fish in their mouth.

This went on for a while until a bird screeched and this screech was filled with panic which sent the other birds into a frenzy, as they could be seen flying away from the area they were, some even forsaking the prey they already caught just so that they could go faster.

The ocean suddenly stilled like a pool of water before an animal the size of a megalodon broke though the surface of the water, the megalodon didn't dive back into the water like a normal amphibian creature does, instead it was flying fast toward the moon.

Dots of blue light could be seen leaving the surface of the water and attaching themselves to the creature, before turning into a dot of light like the stars in the sky.

With the disappearance of the creature, the ocean went back into its natural order, the birds stopped panicking but they were not turning back to continue their hunt.
