Hey its my BFF MTCand! WOOOOOO!!!! YAY!!!! IM HAPPY

The young child looked up at the chaos, death and destruction around them. What had the tribe done to deserve this? They were peaceful... for the most part and honored the deities as much as possible so why were they mad with them? Why were they choosing to curse them with the orange and red heat that they feared? Was it because of the child? The child they saw as a gift from the gods the child that they had taken in only a few days before? Were they a reject from the gods sent to Earth to die? Or was it an accident? Were they not meant to be there in the first place?

The only thing that Jojo knew for sure was they were being punished... and there was nothing they could do about it. They were going to die there unsure about anything.

They stood and waited for the heat to consume them.. One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes.... Though it never did. They opened their eyes confused. They could still see the heat as it consumed their village, the tribe folk rushing to save their houses.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" a voice asked Jojo turned around and was face to face with a much taller... man? Woman? They didn't know for sure.

"Why should I? It's obvious we can't do anything and we're going to die anyway.. He made the deities angry."

"You child you did nothing. It's the others that must suffer." they said, sitting down and calling the child over.

"So it's about the baby they found." Jojo thought out loud.

"Yes... I gave the chief the instruction to leave them alone to leave the child where they were and instead they took them back to the village.. They stole my son and killed him..." They sighed looking down. "And he was promessing too..." They looked down at the child next to them.

"You have done no wrong, the flames will not hurt you, you may leave and find somewhere else to reside. Reconnect with your family."

Jojo shrugged. "I have nowhere else to live and no family to reconnect with. Without this village I will die in days." the god looked at the concerned.

"How about I take you to a village where you will be allowed. You're interesting and don't appear again." They looked up at the god confused.

"Why?"

"Because I dont harm innocent people... unless I'm in the mood for it." They smiled. "It also would be nice to have some company in my exile. At the moment it's only me and the faces of the horrible people I label as family." they scoffed.

"So what do you say? Would you like to come with me?" They opened a small portal. "It may not look like much but I'm sure we can get a bit creative." Jojo watched the portal simmer as it displayed the empty room beyond.. A room they could call their own.

"yes."
