The same thing happened somewhere else, the difference being the location. Deep down in the earth, a different space was formed here with its habitat being the goddess of darkness and death.

She got the same call as the other two gods, looking around the realm filled with translucent floating souls and the two guys laying at her feet. A swirl of smoke covered her and dispersed immediately with her being there no more.

A pitch black human size vulture with a body made of black smoke with its destination being the moon is seen flying fast towards it and the trails left behind by the creature seems to draw a curtain across the sky because with its disappearance, the world descended into darkness.

~~~~~~~~~~

Flying through the portal, I found myself on the moon's surface seeing that I am not struggling to breath or turning into a block of ice. I transformed back to my humanoid form.

Floating on the moon's surface, I noticed that the other moon was a bit bigger than the one I am currently on, maybe because it was meant for the planet and this one is the abode of the goddess.

Taking a look at the different planet from the one in my memory, this one is much bigger like two earth merged together but bears a similarity in appearance.

Two huge portals opened behind me and with their appearance emerged two creatures with bizarre appearance like my eagle form. Taking a sniff, one smells like death and the other like the ocean.

It only took a moment before they both took their humanoid form. Looking at the two beings who share the same blood as mine yet with noticeable different features, I couldn't help but think about how weird this new life is starting to be.

Just as Ikenga was observing the two gods in front of him, they both were doing the same but before anyone could say anything. Two presences, both hot and cold, seem to walk out of an invisible space like they had been there the whole.

The one with the cold presence said "Since everyone is here follow me" turning back and walking into the invisible space they came from, with no hesitation we all walked in with her.

On the other side of the space appeared a garden with creatures in it, at the middle of the garden is a long table made out of moonstones and surrounding the tables are five huge thrones.

Walking towards one of the thrones and taking a seat, I took time to look at everyone present beginning with the one that gives off enormous amounts of heat.

The sun and sky god who looks like a humanoid golden bird, the intense radiance emanating from his form conceals his face in a blinding light. His hair appears as strands of fire, crackling and flickering with a mesmerizing glow. Each feather adorning his body carries the fiery essence within, as flames dance along their edges.

The other being, Goddess of Darkness and Death. The air around her carries an unmistakable scent of death, though it possesses an eerie allure that instills a paradoxical sense of fear and tranquility. With each breath inhaled, one may unwittingly succumb to a deep slumber. Her look resembles that of a lich, bearing the skeletal countenance associated with the realms of death. A cloak of darkness enshrouds her ethereal form, lending an otherworldly and intangible quality to her being. Yet, amidst the enigmatic veil, her feet and hands emerge, pale and flawless, exuding an unearthly beauty that contrasts the darkness surrounding her.

The next god was the one who smells like the ocean and faint sounds of waves can be heard when close to him. He is the god of sea and storms.

Taking the form of a humanoid shark, this deity bears a commanding presence. Water-like tentacles flow gracefully behind his head, mirroring the undulating movements of the ocean's currents. His physique appears almost elemental in nature, suggesting a fusion of raw power and a deep connection with the natural forces of the sea. Though his gait may exude a sense of untamed energy, it is his eyes that capture attention. A look at his eyes reminds me of how calm and still the ocean is the deeper you go in it, Despite the unruly appearance, there lies a deep sense of wisdom and stillness within.

The last god being the one that I have communicated with and was supposedly my twin, she is the goddess of the moon and motherhood. She is the one that looks more human out of us all,Her long silver hair cascades gracefully down to her feet, adding an ethereal touch to her countenance. Her skin possesses a shimmering quality, akin to the twinkling stars in the night sky, reflecting the cosmic essence she embodies.

Although she bears a human resemblance, her towering height sets her apart. Like the rest of our divine kin, we all stand at an imposing 16 feet tall, a testament to our inherent grandeur. However, it is important to note that this towering stature represents our normal size, as we possess the ability to assume even more colossal forms should the need arise.

After everyone sat down, there was a brief moment of silence before we exchanged names, Sun god who is called "Crepuscular" death goddess Keles, sea god Jaus and moon goddess Mahu.

I took a look at the moon goddess Mahu, she saw the doubt in my face and said "What?

That made the others look toward us. I took a deep breath to compose my words.

"Since we both were born at the same time, why did you call for this meeting?" This has been bothering me since I got the call and that worsened after I saw the other gods.

They all looked like they knew the reason for this meeting and since my twin called the meeting, then she must know too but how did she know if we were born at the same time. It's understandable for the other gods to know since they were older.

Was there a secret meeting that I wasn't involved in? Seeing how confused I was, she gently shook her head and said " I don't know the reason for the meeting either but someone will solve our doubt soon, right Crepuscular?

Hearing what she said, i looked towards the sun god who nodded back to me before saying " I asked for her call the meeting, i couldn't hold back after waiting for a long time little brother"

"We all have been waiting for you and Mahu birth" Said Jaus.

(Crepuscular pov)

Seeing the confusion on our new siblings' faces, the thought that this meeting was a bit hasty crossed my mind but I really couldn't bear waiting a few more years for them to get used to things.

Besides, Nana is asleep and she wanted me to inform them about a few things and get them prepared enough before she wakes up.

I made a slight cough to get both of their attention, Jaus leaned back in his throne with his arms folded across his chest, Keles still had no expression on her face but her body language shows she was paying attention to what i was about to say.

We three have already had this conversation so there was no need for them to be attentive. Seeing that I already got the needed attention I leaned more into my throne before starting the story. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

Seeing the sun god leaning more into his throne, I paid more attention to see what he had to say. Apparently he is 200 years old and the first born of Nana. From the moment he was born Nana's only instruction for him at the time was to not interfere with the humans on the planet.

With nothing to do, he went into a deep sleep that lasted for a while but was awoken when Keles was born and with Keles birth came a new instruction from Nana which is to create new creatures on the planet.

This instruction was quite hard for him because even though he was a god, creating a new life form out of thin air was impossible at his level. Nana could have been the one doing that but she was using all her energy to give birth to us so now that responsibility falls to us.

With the birth of Jaus, came another instruction from Nana which is to divide the land amongst ourselves and that was one of the main reasons for this meeting.

According to Crepuscular, after Nana gave birth to me and Mahu she fell into a deep sleep. It seems giving birth to two gods at once made Nana use up her energy.

Her last instruction before the sleep was, we can now interfere with the humans but never mate with them. He went ahead to explain that the reason why Mahu called the meeting is because her place or realm is more acceptable for us to gather rather than his, his realm is connected to the space around the sun making it unbearably hot.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢
