Chapter 49: In the Godly Realm and Back
After the darkness that had enveloped my vision lifted, I found myself in a surreal place, seated amidst clouds that seemed to stretch endlessly. Before me stood a figure of unparalleled beauty, radiant as the moon, ethereal and sublime, bathed in the hues of white and sky, exuding an aura of majesty. It is none other than the god Lunar. This is the first time I’m seeing his true form in front of me.
"You woke up?" the god inquired, breaking the spell of awe that had left me speechless.
I hesitated for a moment, still absorbing the breathtaking sight before me. The god’s presence was both captivating and humbling.
"So, what brings you here?" he asked, curiosity gleaming in his divine gaze.
I finally found my voice. "What do you mean, what brings me here? Isn’t this your doing, drawing me into this godly realm?" I replied, my perplexity evident.
"No! This time, it’s not me. You entered this domain on your own. I had no hand in your arrival in the god realm, a place accessible only to those granted permission by a god. Tell me, why are you here? Or more intriguingly, how did you enter this place?" he questioned, deepening my confusion.
The realization hit me like a bolt of lightning. How could I have entered this realm without his intervention? I m a mere human, and my previous encounters with the divine had been under very different circumstances. I struggled to find an explanation for my presence.
"Bernice! I’ve asked you something," he urged once more, his patience waning.
"I know you’ve asked, but I don’t have an answer. I’m confronted with many unanswerable questions, and this is one of them. I don’t know how I came here. One moment, I was in my study, and the next..."
"What did you just say?" he interrupted, his divine presence crackling with intensity.
