- prologue -
the case of ???

most of the time that I was out was just pure darkness, it was quiet and still. just dark. I could hear no voices, I felt no movement. it was just. . .dark.

I felt completely out of body.

that was until I opened my eyes. the sun was glaring down on my mocha skin until nomia's head appeared in front of my line of vision.

"finally you're awake, I thought I was gonna have to physically kill you," nomia sarcastically said, snorting out a laugh.

I on the other hand looked extremely unimpressed and confused. "sorry, just a little deity humor while you're fresh out of a physical coma," nomia explained. my eyes looked around taking in the cartoon like landscape. the grass was the color of green apple gummy lifesavers while the trees that surrounded the two of us were the color of ripe avocado skin.

my eyes fell upon nomia again before I croaked out, "nomia where in the absolute fuck are we?" my face turned into one of disgust hearing my voice. it was the vocal equivalent of gravel and crushed glass mixed together. I cleared my throat harshly feeling the mucus slide down my throat.

"uh..we're in..another realm, also don't call me nomia my name is selene," she quickly said now trying to pull me up from the grass like she was running late for something.

"my nigga- what?" I said sitting up, getting up as she pulled me in a unknown direction. "like..catwomen?" I questioned closely. "her name is selena and wrong universe girl," her last comment made me even more confused.

what in the hell was going on?

as selene and I left the forest, a large palace came into view. it took on the shape of a medieval style castle, however the overgrowth of plants and flowers made it seem slightly deformed. "can I get a more..specific answer on where the fuck we are?" I asked raising a eyebrow, the curse words felt odd coming out of my mouth saying that I was pretty much censoring myself around cap twenty five eight.

"spheria."

"I'm being serious nomia." I said narrowing my eyes at her.

selene turned around to completely face me with a annoyed look plastered on her face, "I am being as serious as can be, shut up for once in your life and prepare yourself for alot of information and fast also my name is selene, she will explain later."

my eyebrows deeply furrowed while she continued to drag me closer and closer to the palace. we walked up tree logs that resembled steps while I went quiet. we approached the large doors of the palace watching as they slowly opened with a loud creek.

nomi- selene let go of my hand as we slowly approached a woman sitting in a throne that resembled a tree. she was sitting crisscrossed with her eyes closed.

her skin was the color of creamer diluted coffee and her hair was wavy with blonde highlights taking over the front parts of her hair. she wore golden neck rings and her body was covered with a cream colored dress that seemed to effortlessly drape over her body.

"mother oshun." selene said bowing, making me raise a eyebrow. that's when I noticed that my attire was a dress that seemed to be made of the magic that came from my hands.

the lady who's name was revealed to be oshun opened her eyes, delicately uncrossing her legs standing up, "greetings selene."

her voice was deep and steady having a alluring tone. selene nodded stepping back as oshun approached me, her heels made a slow tapping noise in sync with her steps.

"you have awakened my dearest child," the taller woman said in her deep alluring voice touching my face rubbing her thumb over my cheek. somehow I felt peaceful and put at ease as she stroked my cheek in a motherly manner.

she smiled at me looking down at my body admiring my dress. "who are you? where am I and what time is it?" I questioned in the nicest tone I could muster.

the lady let a giggle pass through her nude painted lips before moving to stand beside me. she wrapped her arm around my lower back starting to walk with me leaving selene to slowly trail behind us.

"this is spheria, I am oshun, mother of all good things," she says to me walking with me behind the large throne. "you are nyx, goddess of night and it is eight hours since you have passed out in this realm but in the realm that holds earth, it has been eight years," she explained as if it was absolutely nothing and the most normal thing in the world.

my eyes widened along with my jaw that was practically hitting the floor with shock, "WHAT?"

my voice bounced off the walls of the spacious palace as I turned to look at the gorgeous woman. oshun looked taken aback from my loud voice that was still ricocheting off the walls.

"yes. eight years, usually the times do not do that. however, you cannot travel through realms very well. resulting in selene needing to help you," oshun said calmly, still continuing to walk with me. 8 years. this lady couldn't be serious, this had to be a lucid dream.

"no it is not a lucid dream but I would appreciate if you took this seriously nyx," oshun said in her again, motherly tone narrowing her eyes at me. can she hear my thoughts?

"yes, yes I can my child," oshun said confirming my thoughts. okay maybe this wasn't a dream. it felt all too real, maybe I'm dead.

oshun glanced at me with a relaxed expression rubbing my back I'm assuming to calm me down.

we walked through a doorway that opened up to a balcony that looked out onto the gorgeous land. "okay so am I dead?" I asked stepping away from her looking up into her eyes.

"no, you are not. however your friends have pronounced you as such seven years ago. you are very much alive, more alive than you were before," her voice remained steady and calm.

my eyebrow raised at her last comment extremely confused, "what does that mean?"

"you will soon find out but your friends. they are in a state of turmoil. you must help them." oshun's face turned grave as she turned to grab both my hands, rubbing her thumbs on the back of my hands.

my eyebrows furrowed in confusion while my face contorted into a look of worry. I exhaled preparing myself for the worst before asking lowly, "what happened?"
oshun's eyes turned sad, glossing over. "half of the universe has been wiped out by a mad titan named thanos," she explained dabbing her eyes. "even my goddesses were turned to dust."

"w-what?" I asked slowly. "you must go to earth and figure this all out for yourself," oshun said firmly continuing to hold my hands.

oshun looked extremely serious, but as I peered into her eyes, she flipped my hands over and the black magic was rising from my hands. "you have the power to help change all of this," oshun whispered. "you have many powers that are unknown to you, use them, figure them out and help save life. you are for life. don't forget that." her voice was firm, like the mother that I never had during the times I needed her.

"do you understand my child?" she questioned quirking a eyebrow up at me. "I must say you give a good motivational speech," I playfully said and she smiled.

"go on my child," she said kissing both my cheeks, letting go on my hands.

she stepped back before a large hole appeared in between us, however I couldn't see her through it, only a dark room.
I took a deep breath looking at her over the outline of the hole one last time before stepping in.
