Chapter 2: Truth-1

"Child----"

I shuddered; the voice was exquisite and terrifying at the same time. It sounded like a male voice, and suddenly I felt like I had lost consciousness; it was warm just a few seconds ago, but I felt like I was in a different place. I didn't hear the public rush and chanting of the priest and the distant sound of children laughing. I was bewildered and called out to anyone in my vicinity, but nothing came out, excluding a small grasp.

"an#yb0d*y---"

"Unwind, child," I heard the same voice.

"what-- "I tried to ask the situation but was interrupted.

"I comprehend you desire explanations, but let me clarify. I am what you anoint God of Creation though I have other monikers. I question mortals have the willpower to delegate its connotation." He paused.

"You are an unlucky soul who just got accidently cursed by one of my fellow deities. He endeavored to conclude the task of penalizing a wrongdoer; we sometimes deliver a sacred verdict for heinous offenses. You were in your mother's, Alicia's womb when the situation transpired, and as a result, you were born visionless. It was neither your fate nor our will for that to ensue." he paused, seemingly trying to gauge my response.

I was shocked, I guess I was mad, but I don't know; it seemed like a huge burden was off my chest. Ever since my youth, I have felt that some of my possibilities regarding my eyes are unique. Ever healing magic had no impact, which made me dubious. Now that I knew the truth, I was relieved and began focusing on other details. Accidents happen worldwide, but I expect different from those who were progenitors. Seemingly sensing my silence, he continued--

"I comprehend your belief about how we can construct blunders, but to be impartial, the selection of divinities is a stringent thing. Yes, except for the six pillar deities, the rest were mortals before they ascended to godhood. They were once living like how you are, but not at this juncture. You and all the others, even deities, are at a deadlock at this moment like an instance in time which I have frozen to hold this conversation with you."

This made me realize that first, he can read minds pretty handy, especially for some like me who cannot see people's retorts or visages. It gets had to calculate when silence envelops the conversation from time to time. It always made me feel uneasy like that could be making odd faces for all I know. Second, the situation seems to be direr as the whole world stops. It was something amazing and worrying at the same time. Third, I was not in the temple, proving the temperature change when I arrived.

"You are weirdly serene for the current circumstances, child, and simultaneously very calculative. You are not in the Temple of Guri. I teleported you here; Here means God's domain because if I personally visit there, it will be a catastrophe of epic consonance." He joked.

"Now, let me explain why you are here. We, the council of six deities, conferred and extrapolated that we should deliver you with some compensation for all the hardship you had due to our carelessness as to why; when you get cursed, your soul gets harmed. Which is why you are unorthodox in appearance. People should have vested how you are pale with white hair,, which is quite rare. Your exceptional beauty is a side effect because you are a pure soul who got cursed. Usually, those who accomplish sin get all deformed and ashen. They materialize defect ailment that affects their daily life and makes their lives miserable. For your case, it did the opposite, but the ailment concentrated in your eyes but--" he was struggling to find the next words.
