49. The Inversed God

Sayanel stared at me through the gold fog, terrified. A bloody trail extended from his cheek to his lips. My hand dripped with his blood. I was unsure of why I'd attacked him using my body. Wasn't it more useful to use my power? Reacting to the thought, the tendrils of golden flames coiled around me danced and whipped the air. In my arms lay a beautiful girl, she was an odd colour. It wasn't gold. Nor was it black, gray or white. It was a soothing colour. One that I'd known a minute ago, years ago, a second ago.

A word floated through my clear yet befuddled mind.

Blue.

That was the colour? It didn't extend to her bare arms, though. Those were white. I knew white. The girl frowned a bit. Her chest began to move. I wonder why? Her eyes slowly opened and they were blue too. Very blue. Blue, blue, blue. They opened a bit more than I think they would usually and her lips moved. It looked like it might have been a question.

I wasn't sure what was happening anymore.

A powerful Power swirled into the room, between Sayanel and I. The Powerful Power materialised into a stunning woman. She seemed familiar, though I was not sure where I'd seen her before.

"Go back to sleep," the woman said. Her voice was of words, a song, a melody, sounds and meanings. It wasn't a language. It was feelings spoken as only the gods can. No barriers could make her unable to get her message through.

Colours came back in one fell swoop. I gasped from the shock. There were browns and blues and greens and beiges and so many others I had forgotten! Then my emotions seeped back into me. Shock slowly faded and a frantic fear took over.

"Plum!" I yelped, looking at my beloved, lying in my arms. She smiled, tired;

"Oh, good... You're back, Craft..."

Back? From where?

The Woman standing before us was none other than Reverse-sama. She was more real than all of us here. We were just a dream she was having. And even her dream self was less real than herself.

Its dizzying to be with Gods. 

"Haha, glad to see you've recovered! Its quite fun to meet someone of your potential, you know!" She grinned. "When you die, come and see me; I'll let you stay at my temple."

I gulped. "Uhh... Sure."

"Haha, don't worry! I'm not going to keep you there long! I just want to talk." She laughed mightily.

Well, I had the feeling that she wanted to talk to my soul. She didn't have to wait for me to die, then.

"Oh, I know. I'll do that in a short while, but I'd like to meet ya complete, too."

"You can read thoughts too? Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised." I said.

She had already turned to Sayanel, though.

"You will not lay a hand, or a spell, on any spirit here." She decreed. "It does not matter that you will not be payed." He flinched.

Huh.

Well, that's a problem solved.

Hm? Why did she come, anyway?

"Ah, I felt that Plum was in danger, so I came. I am her friend, after all, Craft~!" She replied to my thought.

"Oh, right. You made her birthday cake, right?"

"I did!" She twirled, making her dress flow. "Well, then. All of you come to my shrine on the next full moon."

She disappeared in a vortex of pure power.

Toby, Jo, Kyuu and Romur slowly came out of the trance they had been in when she showed up.

"...Did we just invited to supper by a goddess?" Kyuu asked.
