How amusing....
They are all so content living their lives out as puppets. No say in the decisions made for them. Only the oldest one, Poppy, has a clue.

I noticed Ecasia and Yui taking tentative steps toward me. Before they managed to say a word, I ask them if they need anything.

"Oh! We just had a couple of questions... that was all."asked Ecasia politely.

I stood for a moment thinking of what they could possibly ask before answering yes.

"Well we wanted to know who is the strongest creation. I think it's you but Cas says it's Creator" stated Yui in wonder.

"The strongest you say.... that sure is a difficult question. How about we do storytime with Poppy? You guys get the place nice and comfortable while I get my diary" I answered.

While the two younger girls set up the area with pillows and blankets, I went to fetch my diary. While waiting for the girls to get comfortable I flipped through the books contents looking for a specific page before getting settled myself.

"Now, when it comes to the strongest there is a lot of debate. Each one of us has our own abilities and different mentalities, which makes it difficult to choose just one." I explained, "there are, however, the Ancient Three..."

"THE ANCIENT THREE??!! Who are the ancient three??" The two younger girls exclaimed in unison.

"If you quieten down, and let me talk, then I will explain everything"

"Long, long time ago......." I began. "There was nothing but the Creator and only her. She want to create beauty and perfection for others to enjoy and see. With her desires she created the Ancient Three. Three Goddesses that would help balance the megaverse.................... and all her chaotic energy" I muttered that last part.

"Now, no one knows their real names apart from themselves and the Creator, but in my time being here I came up with some basic names for them and an understanding of what they do."

The two younger girls were practically falling off their seats as they hung on every word I said. "Well, come on we want to hear them!" they exclaimed together.

"I was getting to it, I just needed to find the page" I mumbled impatiently. "Let's start with the youngest and the one you are most likely to see. I call Futara, her main ability is seeing and being able to influence the past, present and future to a more desirable outcome. The only problem is, she can't do it it directly herself and has to influence other people to do the right thing."

"Nat or Dissy as I call her, well she is a bit of a wild card. In my earlier studies. I believed she had the power to create nature and what not, but upon closer inspection she specialises in Natural Disasters, she is older than Futara and is higher on the scale of power"

"And last of all, Uni, she is a mythic bitch."

"LANGUAGE" the girls gasped.

"Sorry, sorry. Continuing on, you will never see Uni, that is almost a guarantee. She only ever communicates with the other two and the Creator and even then, not too often. She is the most powerful out of the three and her powers are unknown to me."

The young ones grunted at the lack of information about Uni as I closed my diary. They began putting away the stuff they set up for storytime as Yui piped up "Where do we put all this stuff," she looked around for the cupboard that was nowhere to be seen.

"What do you mean?" I replied as a smirk formed on my face. Yui then looked back to the setup to find it completely gone.

"HOWWW-!"

Futara pov

We were all gathered at the in-between. The Creator had a couple of questions for Uni, the name the puppets gave her. We didn't really have names, for what's the need when you're a God, but as the newest descendant of a puppet....... it was actually quite comforting, it felt like I had a bit of my old life back.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of crying. Everyone went dead quiet as we slowly turned around only to be faced with a young child, no older than 3.
