Double-Sided Dagger

12. Gods Among Us

Ladies and gentlemeń, The votes are in (There was only one voter) and there will be more cinder chapters.

*Distant applause* 

But this shall not be one of them.

*Distant boos*

My apologies but literally no one reads those chapters so I'm making them more infrequent.

*Distinct muttering*

Uh, whatever, on with the story.

Flashback

"Look, kid." Said a tall policeman that towered over the young Y/n.

"I don't know how to say this but... you're parents aren't coming home."

Y/n burst into tears as he knew what the policeman was saying.

"Don't worry though, we've already apprehended the drunk driver and he is being tried to the full extent of the law. As you have no relatives you're going to be adopted."

The rest of that night was a blur as Y/n only remembered tears and sadness.

"Y/n, I'd like you to meet the family that will be looking after you "

The social worker gestured towards an overweight married couple.

"I'm sure they'll take great care of you."

Timeskip 6 months

"This is the newest member of the family, why don't you say hi Y/n."

Y/n knew that his foster mother was putting on an act in front of the social worker and tried to warn the girl that they were adopting but couldn't do that without drawing the attention of his foster parents.

"Why the hell is this floor dirty!, I told you to scrub it till I could eat food off it."

"Sorry ma'am"

"You better be sorry crapbag. I could throw you on the street and no one would even give a shit."

"Of course ma'am, sorry ma'am"

Y/n's foster mum then slapped him across the face and went to find Cinder to berate her for some dumb reason like missing a spot on the floor or overcooking the toast.

Dammit. I fucking hate this place.

Flashback ends

Stop that right goddam now.

As the intruder in Y/n's mind was looking through these memories, Y/n was reliving every second of it. It was not a pleasant experience.

My apologies, but I had to know who you were before you came to Remnant.

Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my head?

I do not have a name but I can tell you why I'm in your head.

Explain.

You see, as God of this realm, it is my duty to protect it from threats, both inside and outside. I had to look through your mind to see f you are a threat. You are not.
