Ball of Nothing

Chapter 15


Chapter 15


There was nothing much to do and Sedna was silent . I couldn't see where we were going, much less understand the current situation . The Goddess seemed to know who I was and my sudden disappearance was a huge news for them? The fact that other Gods and Goddesses exist was news to me . Then again, with the appearance of Sedna after the newbie, I shouldn't be surprised .
"Great One, we are approaching soon . "
That's fast . I thought that the journey would take longer . Then again, Sedna was a Goddess and a powerful one at that . She was huge too and that meant she could cover a greater distance in a shorter time .
In the darkness of the water, I saw where Sedna was taking us to . It was a surprisingly beautiful place . Not many creatures could survive this deep and it wasn't surprising . Sedna was putting in more effort to swim as compared to earlier . I guess that the deeper the water, the harder it was to move .
"That is correct, Great One . This underwater valley has a very strong mysterious force that makes movement difficult . Weaker creatures will be unable to breathe here even if they could breathe underwater . The light from above does not reach the valley and the light here is emitted by the glowing corals that have made this valley their home . "
That explanation was very helpful . However, more questions came to mind . Why did Sedna live here? How did she find this place? How does she know about me and where I was?
Sedna was now putting me down on a soft sponge and I silently relished in the luxury . The sponge was amazingly bouncy and I observed as Sedna picked up an ordinary looking shell .
That shell was far from ordinary . In fact, another voice came out from that shell .
"Yassas, this is Zeus speaking . "
"Zeus, this is Sedna here . We found Great One . " Sedna briefly glanced at me and flashed me a reassuring smile . I tried to smile back but failed as I realised I had no form .
"Oh? That's splendid news! I'll inform the rest, please help us to take care of Great One . We will visit very soon . "
The conversation ended and Sedna put the shell back .
"Great One, please allow me to introduce myself once more . I am Sedna, the Goddess of the Sea and all Marine life . I oversee the cycle of life and death in this sea Every marine life born is created by me and everything that dies at sea returns to me . I ensure that the marine ecosystem is balanced and grant blessings to the humans who depend on the sea for a living . "
That sounds like a huge responsibility . . . Sedna sounds like a very busy person too . I wonder if looking for me added to her troubles . In fact, if all Gods and Goddesses were this busy, I shouldn't be idling away .
"No, Great One, you are mistaken . It is not a burden at all to be maintaining this system of life . In fact, it is our great honour to do so . Great One wasn't idling either, you allowed us to exist and for that we are thankful . "
Allowed them to exist? But I didn't do anything!
Sedna shook her head in horror . "Oh no, Great One . Not doing anything is the best that we can ask for . If Great One simply wishes it, you could easily absorb the entire world including all the life in it . There are no Gods or Goddesses capable of stopping you, everything rightfully belongs to you including our existence . "
What? What is this horrific thing that she's talking about? Me as a world destroyer and destroyer of Gods? What's this ridiculous revelation? How can I absorb a universe if I'm unable to move?
Sedna blinked . "About that, the Great One does not move like we do . Assuming a physical form is one way of doing it but there is a faster way . The Great One can simply move from one place to another simply by willing it . As long as the Great One can see the place or has been there before, it is possible to travel there directly without movement . "
Say whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
