also the gods I made are completely fictional and do not mean to disrespect other religious, if this did offend you I'm sorry. 


After a while of silence, my ADHD was acting up. (Yes, I have ADHD, and yes, I know it's really rare for people to have it in 2077. But as Aristotle said, "No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness".) I had to do something, so, to lighten the mood I said "So, can we all stop thinking about what flowers would look nice on my coffin and instead talk about how the flipping hell are we going to do about this dumb prophecy?".

This snapped everyone back to Mars. First abuelo said "yes, yes of course hijo. But first you need to sit down for this, this might come as a shock to you." I sat. "So... this prophecy, was obviously about you, but the thing which I will tell you next, will go against everything you believe, so be careful." He continued. I nodded, not making a sound. "Son, the galaxy is split between two different things: μαγεία (magic), and science. I'm not talking about the nouns; I'm talking about their physical form." He continued.

"Wait, how does magic exist, and how the heck does science have a physical form!?" I asked.

"Ok, look son at first when the universe was created, there was only on living being, one person who made everything, and I mean everything, the earth, mars, Jupiter, you name it and the person made it, that person was Magic. He made humans, he, made us so he could be entertained. We were his puppets. We were expected to worship him, to do what he does, it was all going good for the next couple of centuries, but then he got bored, he made immortal children, children who would then, help monitor humans, so he could do some other things. The immortal children were called gods, not the ones we made up, but the real ones, each god for each thing, at first there were 5 gods, god of death and life (Benos), god of earth (vorus), goddess of the sky (ova), goddess of the seas (eva) and god of day and night (Azilos). These gods have more baby gods, each assigned one thing but that's for another day, anyways, after these gods became in charge, they did amazing for a few centuries, then they got bored and started to slack of. Then the people on Earth became brave, revolutions sparked, they became too smart for their own good, they started to do stuff with their own reasoning, they soon made something called science. This was the thing that everyone referred to. Less and less people believed in the gods. But of course, the gods didn't notice, after all, we like little ants for them, mere pets and sometimes, just sometimes, pests. So, while the humans started to do their own thing, the gods were probably playing poker in their massive dining room, having no idea what was going to come.

So, while on Earth, humans developed science so much that, science became a god. But not a proper god but a really strong immortal who heavily relies on the belief unlike the other gods who can still live, even without belief. However, science became so powerful that it caused a lot of commotion around the galaxy. Then Magic noticed. He got angry. "How could a puny immortal who solely needs the human's belief to simply exist, be stronger than me!" he yelled into the cosmos.

Magic then found Science, he confronted him fought with him, to see who is more powerful. To this day, they are still fighting, Magic has corrupted everything, he created this new pandemic, which can be given to people by coughing and then made everyone think Science did it. Magic needs to be stopped. Magic needs to be stopped. He will continue his antics until people will stop believing in Science. The prophecy states that the eldest child of the big 5, you, will save the world, because if Magic takes over, the dark ages will come. The accident that killed your girlfriend, was Magic sending a warning to Science to back of or else Magic will destroy humanity as well as the whole universe. The prophecy also however said that you will go against another child of the big 5, and that's the part we don't get. Apart from you, Jason and Nyssa, there has been no other child that we know of. But I'm sure we would find this out as the prophecy unfolds. But for now, take some sleep, you'll need it for the training we're gonna give you tomorrow for the big fight." Abuelo said.

"But how am I supposed to fight the most powerful being in the world!" I exclaimed.

"All in good time hijo, all in good time." Abuelo said.

And that was it, end of conversation, abuelo picked a sofa to sit on and then droned off to sleep immediately. I followed his lead and slept just as quickly, Jason and Nyssa's parents slowly following my lead as well.

Before I slept, I thought, "what's so special in me that can beat a bloody god. I also thought about who I was supposed to go against to beat Magic." for a second I thought it could be Jason, but then I said to myself, "Shut up you four eyed imbecile and go to sleep, Jason is your friend, he would never betray you. Whoever it is though, that person, will be dangerous. Too dangerous, especially if he has Magic on his side, so I'll train. I'll train and train and train, until my bones crumble. After that, I'll be ready for him, ready for Magic, ready for the person who killed Nyssa, I'll be ready for the whole world." And with that thought, I fell asleep.

I had the weirdest dream though, it was a man, but not a man, he was at least 10 feet tall, and his skin was covered with stars and galaxies. "Well, well, well, what do we have here." He spoke. Realisation struck me; I was looking right into the face of Magic. I panicked. Magic was going to speak but I managed to wake myself up before anything worse happened. I looked down and say my soaked in sweat, my heart rate was high, and I was feverish. My skin was pale. I tried to go asleep, but I couldn't. so, I had just looked up at the ceiling, thinking, why me? Why not Jason or some other guy. But why did it have to be me.
