Felix Silva: Dirt is in the Air

Chapter One: The Start

 Once I set Felix on my couch, I made him some food. I gave him the food and said, "Eat it." He was hesitant at first, but since he hadn't eaten in days, he ate the food. I let him finish eating and then said, "Now tell me, kid. What's your name?"

He was hesitant but then muttered his name to me. "Felix... Felix Silva, sir." I nodded my head and asked, "Where did you come from?" He looked at me upset, then said, "My village... It's not under the rule of anyone, sir." "No need to call me sir," I said, smiling. He looked at me, then felt hopeful. "O-Okay... So then... What do I call you?" he asked. "Well, my name is William Smith. God of Creation and Destruction-" I said, before being cut off. Felix stood up and bowed. "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you!" he apologized. I laughed. "No need to apologize!" I exclaimed. "R-Really?" he said in disbelief. "Yeah! Just call me William," I said.

Then Michael came into the living room. "William, how many times am I going to tell you to not bring strangers into our home? The last person you brought in nearly set the house on fire if it weren't for me casting a spell on it much earlier," he said. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I said. "But this is Aria and Wekasa's kid." Michael looked at me in disbelief. "Really? We just got Sabrina and Aiden reunited. Well... find out if the kid has a sibling. Then we'll go from there," Michael said. "Alright," I said.

Felix looked at us confused. "Who are you?" he asked Michael. "Hm? Oh, I'm William's husband," he said, showing the ring on his finger. "But I thought it was forbidden?" Felix said, confused. "Oh, not in the villages under the rule of gods," Micahel said. "Oh," Felix said.

I contacted Aria and Wekasa, asking them if they had two kids or one. They said that they had one and asked me why. I told them it's because I found their son and will be sending him to Mt. Olympia soon.

"Well, he doesn't have a sibling," I said. "Okay, okay. What are you two talking about?" Felix asked, confused. "And who are Aria and Wekasa?" I looked at him and said, "Well, you're the son of two goddesses. The Goddess of Air, and the Goddess of Earth," I said. "You mean the goddess of the planet is my mother?!" he said, surprised and confused. "No, no. By earth, I mean dirt," I said. "Oh," he said.

Michael was cleaning some dishes when he said, "I'm guessing you're gonna train the kid and then send him on his way to Mt. Olympia?" I smiled and said, "Yep." "Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean by 'train me'?" Felix asked. "I mean I'm gonna give you the training and skills to get to Mt. Olympia and climb it so you can reunite with your parents," I said. "And trust me, they won't stop you from going outside." "How do you know about that?!" Felix exclaimed. "Kid, I'm a god. I know everything," I said, jokingly. "Just kidding. I didn't know. I just assumed because your skin is so light."

It was silent for a bit before Aiden came home. "William, I'm home!" Aiden shouted. "Alright, why don't you go ahead and take care of the plants with Ian?" I said. "Ian's here?" he asked from across the house. "Yeah. He comes here every day to help me with the plants!" I said as Aiden came closer. "Okay. And who's this?" Aiden asked, pointing at Felix. "This is Felix, the son of Aria and Wekasa. Felix, this is Aiden, the son of the God of Shadows and Goddess of Light. He has a sister named Eva," I said, introducing the two.

"Nice you meet you," Aiden said. "Likewise," Felix said. "I should get going. See you later, Will," Aiden said. "See you," I said. "So... is he like your son?" Felix said. "I guess he's a little bit like my son. But my team and I plan on making a child for me and Michael" I said. Felix looked at us weirdly. "I mean like how my team and I always make people. We get their soul, create their body, and so on," I said.

I started to explain each of the powers of the gods and goddesses to Felix. Including mine.

"I am the God of Creation and Destruction. Meaning I can create whatever I want, and destroy whatever I want. I have a team to help with details such as sexuality, gender, nationality, skin tone, and much more," I said. "Okay... So it's like making a drawing with people. You make the outlines, and they color it in?" Felix said. I thought about it for a bit. "Yeah! That's a good example," I said. "Aurora is the Goddess of Light, she controls light and the sun. Kage is the God of Shadows, and he controls the darkness. Specifically shadows," I said. "Okay, so they're opposites," Felix said. "Yep," I said.

"Misty, the Goddess of Water controls water and knows where every water source is," Michael said. "And Basil, the God of Plantation controls plants," I said. "Okay..." Felix said. "Alinta, the Goddess of Fire controls fire of any kind, Aria, the Goddess of Air controls, well, air," I said. "Okay, it seems like their names are self-explanatory. Like 'Goddess of Water'," Felix said. I laughed. "You're right. Alright. I'll tell you their real names," I said.

"The God of Good is named Gareth, the God of Evil is Aamon, the Goddess of Metal is Kim, the Goddess of Music is Calypso, the God of Time is Amordad, the God of Animals is Averett, the Goddess of Earth is Wekasa, Alana is the Goddess of Stone, Link is the God of Technology, and the God of Mythical Creatures is Zephyr," I said. "Woah... That's a lot. So by 'God of Good' and 'God of Evil', what do they control?" Felix asked. "Well, Gareth controls all the good in the world. One example would be good luck. Aamon is the opposite," I said. "Ah. That makes sense," Felix said.

"Tara is teasing us again," Michael said. "Dammit..." I said. "We need to destroy her. But I can't unless I use my sword because she's a goddess," I said, forgetting that Felix was there.

"There's another goddess?" Felix asked. I realized he was there. I sighed. "Yes. There is another goddess. But she's evil," I said. "What does she control?" he asked. "She controls demons. She's called the Goddess of Demons," I said. "Okay... How dangerous is she?" Felix asked. "Very. Sabrina and Aiden are able to disintegrate her minions with their song. So they've been keeping her at bay," I said. "That's why Aiden comes homes late every day. He rarely gets any sleep," I said, looking out the window at Aiden working with the plants with Ian.

"So if we get rid of her, then our problems will be solved?" Felix asked. "Well, no. If we get rid of her, we have to get someone to be her replacement, or else Sabrina and Aiden will be at work non-stop, disintegrating demons," I said. "Okay..." Felix said. "And the person has to have a heart so pure," I said. "Alright. Well, I was friends with someone. They found out I was never allowed to leave my house, so they snuck into my house to talk to me and such... So they might be an option," Felix said. "Okay, I'll have Gareth and Aamon check to see if they have done enough good to be in charge of the demons," I said.

I got up and took the dirty dishes to the kitchen. "So your husband said that you're going to train me and then take me to Mt. Olympia?" Felix said. "Well, yes and no. I'm going to train you, not take you to Mt. Olympia. You have to get there yourself," I said. "Why?" Felix asked. "Well, if a god like me helps you, then it won't count," I said. "Why not?" he asked. "Because a powerful being helped you," I said.

I finished washing the dishes, dried them, then put them away. Then Aiden came running into the house with a person in his arms with Ian following closely behind. "William! William!" Aiden said, shouting my name. I ran up to him and said, "What? What happened?" "We were tending to the plants when we found this girl. She passed out not too long ago, but she said her name was Carry Lewis," Aiden said, showing me the girl. She was covered in mud and blood. I saw scratches on her face. I could tell immediately that they were from one of Tara's demons. Sabrina had gotten a small scratch on her arm from one of them and didn't realize it until after she reunited with her parents.

I took Carry to the bathroom and cleaned her off. I then cleaned her wounds and wrapped them up. I told Aiden to get Sabrina over here with some clean clothes. Aiden did just that. I told Ian to stay inside the house and to lock all the doors and windows. Ian did that. Felix was standing there, in shock at what just happened.

"Well, what are you doing, just standing there?! Go help lock the doors and windows!" I shouted at him. He immediately helped Ian lock the doors and windows. Sabrina and Aiden soon came before Ian locked the front door. Sabrina ran to the bathroom where I was, and she told me to get out. I did and she shut the door.

We waited a bit, then she came out with Carry in some clean clothes. Sabrina took the dirty and torn-up ones and threw them away. I carried Carry to my room and set her on my bed. Michael walked and said, "I heard you yelling. What's wrong?" I tucked Carry in and said, "Tara. She attacked someone," I said, standing up. "I see... So what do we do?" he asked. "Well, nothing for now. We don't know where she is or who she's with. But we have to train Felix quickly and find the other kids. This is starting to get out of hand," I said, becoming upset.

Michael and I checked all the doors and windows to see if they were locked. They were. Then we went into the living room where everyone was and I said, "Now, we're going to have to train Felix during the day and only during the day. When he gets sent off to Mt. Olympia, Sabrina and Aiden will be going with him to protect him from Tara's demons."

Sabrina and Aiden understood and we all went to bed.
