FORGOTTEN GODDESS

Chapter 29: Life, Light and Death

Miracle's POV

My eyes widened when I saw that there are hands pulling me downwards.

"Ahh!!" I screamed and covered my eyes.

I was surprised when I opened my eyes.
I'm in a place full of drought. The Earth is dry and there are cracks showing that water haven't come in this ground.
The tree was so dry and it's leafless and fruitless, there's no leaf seen.

Suddenly, several corpses appeared and started walking.

"AHH!" I screamed and tried to use my magic but nothing is working.

I tried to levitate myself and I was able to. Even though I was levitating, they kept on trying to reach me.

"Get the hell away from me!" I screamed and tried to form a fire ball and targeted their heads and threw it to them.

When they disappeared I stayed levitated.

"Hello, Miracle." A man with dark olive eyes said and appeared in front of me.
"The Spirit of Death?" I asked and he nodded.

I slowly levitated down and stood up properly.

"My name is Dike." he said and walked near me.
He offered his hand and I reached for it.
"Do you have an Idea what I am?" He asked
"You personify the Death." I said and he nodded
"Death is part of everything. You know, Miracle, Death was the only way how Heaven survived." he said and we walked passed the forest of dead trees.

"Is this your Home?" I asked and he nodded
"Yes. After Death there will always be a new beginning." he said and I saw how he killed the flower that was slowly growing.

"Death is a very easy choice, Miracle, but leaving everything behind isn't. Do you know why some people struggle when they want to end their life?" he asked

"Because they are afraid to die in the first place?" I asked confused
"No, Mira, they struggle because they worry about their family and the people they'll leave behind." Dike replied
"Leaving them behind?" I asked and he nodded

"This will be the reminder you'll have to remember, Death is very crucial to life. Death signifies a new life, yes the people who dies go to the afterlife but they will remain with us, in our hearts as long as we remember them but once we forget about them, that's when you'll truly lose them." He said and placed a small rock on my hand.

"I give you my blessing." he said and held my hand then we went to a place full of  light balls and a white ground.

"Flare!" his cold voice echoed and it turned off all the lights
"She's here." Dike said coldly and lowly.

"Hi there!" a very beautiful girl came. She has a flower crown on her head and she's wearing a pale yellow dress with a gold belt and a gold headdress.
