Chapter 1881 The God of Rain
Chapter 1881 The God of Rain
The Goddess of Light Luminaria protected herself from the lightning that suddenly poured down on her. She stared at the God of Rain Chaac like she will not be intimidated by him. She was currently more powerful than the god that her parents served with all their life.
“You must be punished, child. You have done more harm in this world than what a god should do. Do you wish to summon the Great Devourer to this very universe just because you have a grudge against it?” The God of Rain Chaac stated as if he already knew of the Goddess of Light Luminaria in a much deeper level.
The God of Rain Chaac is about as tall as the gigantic Goddess of Light Luminaria. He was incredibly buff like a body builder with armor made of gold protecting his body and bronze colored skin that glistened. He had tattoos but it was not that seen due to the bulky armor that is covering his body. He wore a headpiece made of gold and a blue orb in the middle that has the same color as lightning.
“Punish me when I did nothing wrong!? I was the one exiled just because I was born different!” The Goddess of Light Luminaria stated as if she was wronged but the God of Rain Chaac did not look happy.
“We did not exile you because you were different, child. We exiled you because you sacrificed your parents for power.” The God of Rain Chaac stated as he vividly remembered that day.
The head priest of the Temple of Rain was the father of Luminaria when she was still human. Her mother was the priestess that also served him ever since her birth. When Luminaria was born in this world, the entire world was suddenly wrapped in a bright light which might explain her unique birth. Luminaria was born different compared to her parents that had bronze skin because she was extremely pale.
Luminaria was born pale as she was an albino. One might think that she would be bullied by those around her but that was impossible granted that her parents were the most powerful priest and priestess of the Temple of Rain. She was showered with affection just because her parents were powerful which might have gone into her head.
She believed from a very young age that power is everything and that she was the chosen one amongst the many. She was different from her peers as she was like the morning light that was incredibly white. She was also considered beautiful not because of her face but because of her confidence on herself.
She did not experience a normal childhood because she was already in power when she was still at a young age. She would cleverly use the prestige of her parents to make sure that no one would ever think to be above her. She pretended to be a great and genius child in front of her parents like she was the wisest and kindest child there is. She made sure to also threaten the other children to not say anything to the adults as she would be mad. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢
It did not help curbing Luminaria’s narcissism that she was born with great potential for magic. She had great mana and a powerful affinity for light magic as if she was blessed by the light that poured the day she was born. What she did not know is that she was actually just one of many that were born like that.
Her narcissism and belief that she was supreme continued on until her teens but a moment in her life was the thing that made it even worse. A God of Light came before the kingdom that she was in and demanded to hand over the child blessed by light. The God of Light did not tell them his name but even the God of Rain Chaac was respectful to this god.
Seeing the god that her powerful parents served show respect to the God of Light that suddenly barged in shattered the worldview of the young Luminaria. Another thing that shattered her worldview is that she was not special because there were children that had the same body features as her that was following the God of Light. She was not special but just different from the rest of the children in her own kingdom.
The God of Light demanded that Luminaria be handed to him as she would be trained by her and that she would need to leave her life behind. The God of Rain Chaac saw the sorrow that his two most powerful priests showed upon learning that their daughter was being taken. The God of Rain Chaac was able to convince the God of Light that the child must have the permission of her parents.
“We will not hand you our daughter, God of Light. With all due respect, we love her too much to even have her hunt.” Luminaria’s parents stated.
“Does the child wish for that as well? I shall give you a week in order to come up with a decision. The children that I have gathered are rather tired from all our travel. Also, if you do not wish to have your daughter to be given to me then I shall extract her light powers that she was blessed with.” The God of Light stated.
“Will that endanger her?” Luminaria’s parents asked.
“No. It will just take all the powers of light that she was given upon her birth on the day the light covered even the night. She would return to what she should have looked like if she were not born on that day.” The God of Light stated which made Luminaria’s parents sigh with relief.
A feast was given to the God of Light and the children he gathered under his wing. Luminaria presented herself as sociable and kind as she started to ask questions. She was told that the god they were with was the most powerful God of Light. She also learned of all the backgrounds of the children that came with him.
Most of the children that came with him were treated as cursed child because their mothers died during their birth. It was only due to Luminaria’s mother being powerful that she did not die upon childbirth. It was the first time in Luminaria’s life that she thought that her mother was better off dead because of the fact that she learned. She learned that the God of Light was choosing an apprentice.
Luminaria even learned that the God of Light might be choosing his successor since he was showing signs that he was about to go to sleep. Powerful gods that have been alive since the creation of the world are said to slumber. They would have their subordinate gods protect the believers and make sure that state of the world element that they are handling will not shatter.
Learning that the God of Light wanted a successor, Luminaria set of to her parents and told them she wanted to go. Her parents did not believe that their only child will want to leave them as if she never loved them. Luminaria’s parents were told that she would need to abandon everything in her current life to follow the god of light which they did not want because she was the only child that they can have.
Luminaria’s mother did not die upon her birth, but she could no longer have any children. Luminaria was too powerful when she born and if the God of Rain Chaac did not heal her priestess then she would have died. Still, the healing rain that the God of Rain Chaac can use was not enough to fully heal everything as the mother’s womb was untreatable. She will never bore another child again which is why Luminaria was showered with more love than other children her age.
Seeing that her parents did not want to give her away, Luminaria knew that she must do something. She has already planted in her head that she was the chosen one and that she would be the new Goddess of Light that all will bow down that even the might God of Rain Chaac will respect. She devised a careful plan to kill her parents or make them go insane.
The last day before the God of Light departs with the children is when another banquet was held. The banquet was normal and at peace until the head priest gulped at his wine after a toast. As soon as Luminaria’s father gulped the wine, he started foaming at the mouth and then crash to the ground.
Luminaria’s father was poisoned but he did not die from it since the God of Rain Chaac was able to use his healing rain which prevented the death. Luminaria’s mother screamed so loud that she became insane as her powerful husband was in a catatonic state. He was healed but he will forever be a vegetable.
