*Gulg* *Glug* *Glug*
Waiting for the water to come back again .
*Gulg* *Glug* *Glug*
It's the same boring process . After repeating this for who knows how long, it's now an effortless thing to do . In fact, I've been at it for days without feeling the need to sleep . I guess this is a sign of improvement?
In any case, I just needed to absorb a little more of this sea before I could pull off my escape plan . It shouldn't be long now, a few more days at most .
The water was filling back nicely and satisfaction swelled inside of me . The time it took to fully cover the area absorbed was taking longer each time . I wonder if there would be any use for so much seawater now that I've absorbed a significant amount .
"Wait!"
Good creation! What was that? Unlike the bird or the animals around, that voice didn't reach me on a physical level . It penetrated straight to my very existence and invaded my mindscape .
"Stop! Don't absorb the sea anymore, please!"
Apart from the newbie who escaped as soon as he invaded my territory, this was the first time I heard another being speak . Was this another God?
My questions were answered . The being who spoke was indeed a Goddess . However, with my lack of knowledge for such things, I couldn't identify her . For a sheltered being who only lazed around for all its existence, my manners were quite rude .
The Goddess appeared from a vortex in front of me . She was huge! The bird was large . However, this Goddess was larger . She at least five times the size of the bird . Although she wasn't as impressive as the newbie God, it was still obvious that she was a powerful being .
Who was she?
"My apologies," the Goddess answered . "I am Sedna, the Goddess of this sea . Great One, please forgive my rudeness . "
Great One? Wait . . . she can hear me?
The Goddess in question had green hair which resembled the seaweed that sometimes came close by the shellfish . Wait, that could just be her fallen hair washed up by the water . Sedna's body was covered in scales that resembled a fish's but the most interesting feature was her webbed fingers and toes . They reminded me of the frogs from the bird's stomach . However, I didn't think frogs lived near enough to the sea for her to absorb and transform . How did she get them?
"To answer Great One, I have not consumed any frogs or animals . I was born with this appearance as a Goddess from the people's belief . Also, yes I can hear you . All Gods and Goddess can hear you for you are the one true owner of this world . We exist because of you . "
Wait what? One true owner . . . how? So many questions . . .
"Great One, if it does not displease you, could you allow me to bring you to my humble abode? We can discuss more in details there . The other Gods are in a frenzy over your disappearance, I would like to inform them that you are safe and sound . "
Well . . . it's not as if I could do much at this point . Perhaps I could go with Sedna . She doesn't seem to want to harm me .
"Thank you Great One!" Sedna smiled and carried me in her webbed hands before plunging into the dark waters once more .
