After walking out of the mansion after I finished the paperwork with Emily and Ruby, I walked into my garden. I was followed by Brick and Heather behind me. It was decided that since so many people have begun to enter and leave Paradise, that the important figures of the town needed 24/7 guards when leaving their homes. I argued that I was just stepping into the garden, but they looked as if I was crazy and proceeded to follow behind me. I'm beginning to wonder if my employees even take their boss seriously anymore? I feel like it was only yesterday when they were looking at me with reverence when they won their tournaments. Deep down, I know it's because they care, but still, it's only going into my garden. I was met with mixed emotions as I walked through the garden looking for my meditation spot, the reason why my emotions were mixed was caused by the noise that now permeated the town. The hustle and bustle of tourists and merchants filled my ears, the voices of happy kids and parents are mixed with the voices of people haggling. I hope the work finishes soon, since the sun is beginning to fully set over the horizon to the west of us. I make my way to the meditation spot, and I notice that the sounds from all around have quieted down, I wonder why? Maybe someone cast some kind of sound proofing magic on this area? Regardless, I sat down and got comfortable, as did Brick and Heather. Then I said the words.

" Divine Contact."

I mutter the words, and I feel the gravity that keeps me on the ground disappear and then I feel myself begin to rise into the air. I open my eyes to see myself from above as well as the siblings standing guard... Why is Heather walking so close to me? She... She's poking my cheek?

" Heather, I can see you doing that..."

" Hah!"

It seems I scared her off. It's strange, I couldn't feel it happening, but I can see it right before my eyes, this ability is so strange. More or less, it works like a phone call when I use it. You could think of it like Divine Contact is always on, and if a God decides to, they can force me to take their call, that's how I spoke to the Water Goddess after the Wyvern incident. In this case though, when I use it myself, it's like waiting for the person I'm ringing to pick up.

/Swoosh!/

Speaking of which, here I go, Angela got my call and now she's bringing me to her domain. It was like I was moving in a fast car as I go further and further up, everything blurred together into a mesh of color until all that was left was orange from the sunset as it transitioned to a white horizon as I stopped moving finally. I could feel a familiarity with the place I was in, it's Angela's domain. But I don't see Angela anywhere... I wonder where she is? I mean, she brought me here and asked for me to visit, so-"

* Pomf!*

Just as I was thinking about where she was, my eyes were covered by someone's soft hands.

" Guess who!"

"Really, we're doing this?"

" Just play along for me!"

" It's you Angela, besides, can anyone else even show up in your domain besides us?"

" Only a few who don't have my permission, but they're... Busy..."

" Busy?"

" Oh you know, they have their roles to play, they're even busier than me after all."

" Who are they?"

" My older siblings and my Parents."

" Ah, so... God and his Archangels?"

" Exactly."

I took that information in stride... Until I remembered that I wasn't joking when I said God and Archangels. I quickly turned around and spoke to Angela in a panic.
