Last goddess standing

The orbs

Something tickled my face, I pried my eyes open to find zooella purring softly, "good morning zozo" I stroked her snowy with fur and she meowed in pleasure, I tiptoed into the bathroom almost tripping on a pile of books, my apartment was some what spacious, tall ceilings, a ton of Windows to make it appear bigger, my room was the largest area in the apartment, on one side was library wall, the other one covered in drawings and posters that hung over my bed, I kind of liked my room, it was what people called "indie" but really it was just how I expressed myself. Continuing my route towards my bathroom, following my usual routine, I brushed my teeth, following with styling my hair into a lose ponytail, I finished off with spritzing a sweet smelling perfume, I made my way back into my room, admiring the wall I painted last week, it was the colour of the sky durning a storm, bluey grey, I skipped towards my closet, stripping off I chose a white off shoulder peasant top and a long flowy turquoise skirt, I topped it off with a pair of nude leather boots and some jewellery, including a variety of bracelets and one silver chained chocker with a simple white Jewel hanging off it, I grabbed my bag and made my way to the kitchen, I opened the fridge and grabbed a juice to sip on the way to the markets, I was in dire need of some new clothes and my payment rolled in last night, I silently fist bummed the air, I was finally getting some new threads, behind me I heard a strange sound, the sound of someone walking on floor boards, but my house was paved concrete, I slowly turned around to see the mirror in my dreams, it's delicate golden flowers were tracing the mirrors shape, twisting and intertwining, I rubbed my eyes, unsure that this was actually happening, then all of a sudden it stopped, I drew closer inspecting the flowers, one single flower bud started to bloom, a single blue light awakened out the flower, inside was a single golden ball, with beautiful markings, I traced my finger over them, taking in the coolness of the small ball, I dropped it into my palm, I stood and turned on my heel, I tucked it well into the bottom of my bag, maybe it was useful or brung good luck, I raced down the stairs and into the warm mornings sun, I threw on a grey cardigan before I left, knowing it would get colder as the day went on, it was a long walk to the inner city but I got there in record time, only stopping to help a stray kitten, she was tucked inside my bag only poking her head out every once in a while, she was as white as snow with one black marking on her head, resembling a circle, she was strikingly gorgeous, when we got to the markets, I pulled the bag closer to my chest, making sure nobody would accidentally bumped into her, I stopped at a few markets picking up beautiful pieces of clothing, a pair of new boots and some new jewels, I made my way over to a red market stall full of old ancient pottery and jewels, I scanned the table, inspecting the stunning array of golden and silver beads and chains, my heart caught in my throat when I saw the exact same bronzed ball sitting there wedged between a ton of gems, I quickly searched my bag for the one that belonged to me, making sure not to disturb the sleeping kitten resting between my sketch books, a tidal wave of relief washed over me when my hand came into contact with the smooth golden ball, I tucked it deeper into my bag, the man running the stall hopped over towards me with great speed, " I see your admiration of this Ancient Greek ball" he gave a wicked smile before plucking the ball from In between its cosy home, "this one had different designs, more beautiful than the one I possessed, "how much i declared" my eyes never once leaving the bronzed orb "for you my darling it's free" he clapped his hands in excitement, " you will have more use out of it than I will" he slipped the ball into a red pouch and gently handed it to me, "but beware of its power, it's is greater than any man made creation" then with one blink of an eye he was gone and so was the stall, I stumbled into a empty ally way, assessing the situation when I heard foot steps behind me, they were light like they were just hovering over the ground not daring to touch the polluted city, before I could turn around a body gently pressed into mine, pinning to the wall, a familiar voice whispered into my ear, a tickling sensation vibrated through my body, his hand gliding up my hip, "you have something I need" his voice low and sexy, my heart started to beat faster, his hand roaming over every curve, in the corner of my eye, I saw a lock of blonde hair blowing in the wind, I tried to turn to see the mysterious man, but just as quickly as he appeared he was gone, leaving me breathing heavy, I could still feel his touch lingering on my body, a loud meow sounded from my bag, the small kitten poked her head out of the small slit, I sighed in relief knowing she was still there.
When I got home I introduced zoellas to her new play mate, they got along like they were raised together, I strode over to my room and started to hang up all my new clothing, and sorted out all the tangled jewellery at the bottom of one of the bags, i grabbed the red silky pouch and shock out the small orb, I compared it with the one I collected this morning from the mirror, they were similar in size but the designs were completely different, it looked like a story of some sort, i placed them both gently back in the red pouch and hid them under my pillow, I shrugged off my cardigan, a small silver orb bounced out of the right pocket of my cardigan and rolled towards my door, I scooped it up and examined it, it was like the other two balls but this one was silver and had extraordinary flowers carved across it, I reached under my pillow and pulled the two orbs out of the pouch, they looked stunning all together, my hand started to tingle, and soon the tingling became burning, I reared my hand back, wincing at the pain, but instead of hearing the balls hit the floor, I didn't, I was staring at 3 floating orbs, then in the corner of my eye I spotted a blue light, stronger and more compelling than the one this morning, I stretched out my hand and the orbs fell into my hand with delicacy, I stroked the cool metal, trying to ignore the light, but it drew me closer, soon I was infront of the mirror, I heard the cracking of wood and the flowers began to move, 3 huge buds formed  the size of a bowling ball, one silver, one gold and old bronze, I opened to my hand to see the designs on the ball shining blue, I quickly looked between the balls and the buds, then a short whisper flowed through my mind, "place them correctly"  I began to piece the puzzle together, before I knew it I was placing the balls into the spinning buds, as soon as I placed one of the balls in, it closed and returned back to the intertwining vines, I did the same to the two remaining balls, they retracted back with the silver vine, then all at one I was pushed into the mirror, the last thing I heard was zooella purring, then I was falling, fast, but it was through water, it was so clear that I could see what was below, a cluster of trees moving there branches to cushion my fall, I left out a scream before coming into contact with the soft green leaves, then everything went black.
