Power Gems

Chapter 37

Learning that some of The Great Ones are family makes me never want to talk to them ever again. I know how family is, all ways looking out for one another, so if I call Neilpha fat or something I know Silvia will come to his rescue. I know if some one called Teddy... My eyes began to burn slightly at the thought. Even though she is my little sister and she is annoying, I would probably come and beat up the kid that was making fun of her. Being away from people that I know has been depressing, some people just need their family at times. I felt like I needed mine now, but I knew that couldn't be done.

Silvia walked down the steps and began walking away again, and I remembered something. "Silvia! Wait just one more second. Is this Heaven? I've been having this weird feeling that this isn't what it seems to be." Silvia slightly frowned, "No dear, this isn't Heaven. You can say this is more like "Sub-Heaven." What you think Heaven is is nothing like this. The real Heaven is far more beautiful and beyond perfect, and there are real angels and gods. We have soldiers here that look like angels, but they aren't... complete. You see, for people to become angels, they must go through tests, to prove their faith in that god they believed in while still on earth. People grew up praising their god or gods and want to serve them forever. To me, it is kind of sweet, I would sure want people praising over me, but that would be very selfish of me, I apologize. Anyway, going on, these gods give these people tests, testing their faith as I said before. But these tests are cruel and very dangerous. Once you complete these tests the gods find you worthy and you will become an angel." Silvia explained.

"So is Luna a real angel, or is she going through a test?" I said.

"Luna, she is not a real angel. Before she even come to a god and asked their worthiness, she didn't believe in a god at all. She was always that character that believed everything was luck or just the way of nature. She is going through her test, but I am not sure what it is exactly"

"Was Luna ever a real person?" Zoie asked.

"Yes, but I, myself don't know her life story because it wasn't my job to look after her. My job was to look after the Power Gems, which is you now. So don't think I won't keep a close eye on you!" Silvia said wiggling her index finger at us and smiling.  "Well, I am on my way now, I'll come and get you tomorrow, be ready!" Said Silvia and she waved goodbye and walked down the street. We all waved back and turned our attention to the house in front of us.

I opened the white door, and guess what I found. Yep, our Power Animals in our tree house.
