She whimpered, looking at her captor with beautiful but lifeless golden eyes, nobody would believe this girl is the bubbliest daughter of the lord of light. She was covered in blood, her own blood, her striking golden hair, the symbol that she's a noble in the celestial realm's empire of light, is now dyed with her blood that it now looked red, not even a hint of her golden locks could be seen. sitting their lifelessly on the floor she tried again to summon her powers, even if not to defend her at least enough to call for help, she closed her eyes and braved through the hellish pain she was currently enduring but she still couldn't connect to her powers "I told you the power blocker was specially created for you" the man's voice was terrible on the ears, he walked out of the dark, the girl immediately recognized him as a nightmare a lower demon in the dark empire. with skin so pale, heterochromic eyes, a bent nose and chipped lips, he even limped as he walked you'd probably wish to never see the man in real life, he walked towards her his waist length muddy brown hair swaying behind him, he stopped in front of her crouched to her level and smiled. A smile so sinister that it would give you nightmares for weeks. "I heard that doing the deed with you daughters of the god of light would enhance your power greatly, I want to see if it's true or not" he said, a creepy perverted look in his black and green eyes. The lifeless golden eyes widened in fear, she tried to move back but as she is too weak she could only sit and wait "I also heard that the god of light loves his daughters soo much, how come he hasn't come for you yet, he's a god, finding you should be easy, oh well" he taunted his stinking breath tickling her nose, she would have scrunched it, but she didn't have the energy, she's currently a powerless girl. He stood up straight and pulled his shirt over his head, he crouched back down to her height and was about to begin doing the unimaginable, when the ceiling of the house they were currently in caved in, the man stopped his actions and looked up waiting for the dust to clear of, so he could see the bloody idiot that dared disturb his quest to ultimate power, the moment the dust cleared the man's face paled, the girl didn't even think that's still possible considering he's already as white as a sheet of paper. The girls eyes brightened the moment she saw who had come for her. Her father was levetating above the building, his floor length golden hair swayed with the wind and his golden eyes glinted dangerously, as legend said the god of light never frowned no matter how provoked he is, well legend also said he has frowned once, guess this is now the second time. But floating on top of them is the god of light with an expression that could kill.
The lord of light flicked his hand upward, it's such a casual motion but the power it hold is immeasurable, her captor got hit head on by the attack and there's nothing left of him not even an ash, the young girl smiled and finally let her mind drift into the welcoming arms of darkness, she's finally safe, her father had come for her.
"Oh my poor baby" was the first thing she heard when she regained her consciousness, but she hasn't yet opened her eyes, "I told you to let me look for her I would have found her sooner" a woman said annoyed. The young girl recognized the voice as her mother's "she was only kidnapped for a day, and the moron turned my beautiful baby sister into a bloody mess, father a quick death was to easy on him" that voice is definitely Lucinda, her first oldest sisters voice, "calm down Lucinda, even though a fast death is most definitely unfair father cannot torture him as he is the god of light, and it goes against the principles of his godhood. though that doesn't prevent us, father why didn't you drag him here so we could torture him" Luninda asked, nobody saw that sick turn coming especially from the girl that appalled violence the most among them "enough shouting Lumina is still asleep" her father whispered and at that moment Lumina decided to sit up and looked at her family huddled up in her room, everyone was surprised for a few seconds before they all rushed to her "are you uncomfortable anywhere baby" her mom was fussing over her like she's a five year old, she wanted to whine that she's a big girl now who just had her coming of age ceremony but she enjoyed the attention to much, "I'm okay now, I'm completely healed" she said and smiled reassuringly at her mom "good" her mom nodded and before she knew it she's engulfed in a bone crushing hug "let her breath" her father exclaimed at the sight of his youngest blueish complexion "idiot I told you to stay close to me at all time during the gala" Lucinda gently knocked her head "I'm sorry" Lumina whispered and grinned "the probability that you wouldn't stay near Lucinda during the gala was already very high, I said this already, this is why I highly suggested that mother be in charge of her" Luninda said "so you still talk like a book" Lumina teased, Luninda obviously didn't get it "well obviously you were only gone for a day, changing my speak pattern in that short amount of time should be impossible" Luninda's Confusion was obviously hilarious as everyone in the room laughed at her, yes she might have an amazing IQ but her EQ is beyond embarrassing. "Okay get dressed and come downstairs the headmaid just told me Lumina's dinner is ready" Lumina's mom announced and shooed everyone out of the room, the headmaid probably used the mind link to alert her mistress, the moment everyone left Lumina's room, Lumina got of the bed and walked to her bathroom. The amount of luxury packed in just a bathroom is amazing even Lumina couldn't help but awe everytime she came to use the toilet, she could have just used her powers and make herself clean, but she is currently to weak.
After the bath Lumina walked down the annoying number of stairs, Lumina couldn't help but miss those time she would just super speed down them or fly, "not having powers is a bitch" she mumbled, she entered the dining room and sat down, her mother served her food, only Lumina was served food as she is currently powerless her body needs the food and the fact that she hasn't realized her Divine calling to.
In the celestial realm, there are two empires, the empire of light and the empire of darkness, the ruler of the empire of light is the god of light, the dark empire, doesn't have a ruler yet, because only the god of darkness can enter the supreme palace of darkness and sit on the dark empire's throne. whatever title you get is what your Divine calling is, and you only realize your Divine calling after your coming of age ceremony. The natural order of the celestial realm decides the calling of the gods and goddesses in the realm. But not everyone in the celestial realm is a god, of course they are naturally born gods like Lumina, her sisters and her mom but they're also cultivated god like Lumina's father, the god of light, normal citizens in the celestial realm are given birth to as asters, they are the weakest in the entire celestial realm, there are four levels in the cultivation. Asters, kings, lords and then gods. And each of the levels have three sublevels, low mid and then high
The reason the empire of darkness has no ruler is because the celestial realm hasn't bestowed upon anyone the divine calling of darkness.
"Mama when will I get my own divine calling" Lumina asked out of nowhere "well sweety you just had your coming of age ceremony a month ago, I'm sure you'll soon get it" her mother answered "yeah it took me a year to get mine" Lucinda added "well I got mine the same day I had my coming of age ceremony" Luninda said absentmindedly "not helping Lun" Lumina cried out looking at her second oldest sister "oh sorry" "you know for a goddess of knowledge you suck at emotional knowledge" Lucinda joked and chuckled at Luninda's clueless expression "the year is about to end this will mark the one millionth year the empire of darkeness is without a ruler" Lumina's father mused silently "yeah and if father hadn't married mother we'd probably still be in a pointless war against them" Lucinda laughed as if that's the funniest thing she ever said "what do you mean" Lumina asked looking at Lucinda confused "oh yeah mina doesn't know the story. Come on father" Lucinda smirked looking at her father, he sighed and Shaked his head "let's go to the fourth floor's parlour first" the god of light announced and everyone teleported themselves there, well everyone apart from Lumina who still hasn't recovered her powers "oh yeah forgot about you" Lucinda reappeared in the dinning room took Lumina's hand and they both appeared in the parlour. "Well everyone settle down" the god of light began.
After everyone got a comfortable Spfa to sit on, the waited for the god of light to begin the story.
" More than a million years ago, not long after I became ruler of the light empire, the empire of darkness decided to forcefully merge the empire of light, and unite the celestial realm, and as noble as it sounds, they most definitely had ulterior motives, as there was no god or goddess of darkness, the strongest god in the dark empire, the god of destruction was the one ruling and preparing for the war...."
"Wait isn't mama the goddess of destruction" Lumina asked confused "don't interrupt mina, father will reach there eventually" Lucinda really wanted to get back to the story "you've heard this story before, don't disturb me" Lumina retorted "If you girls don't behave I'll stop telling the story" the god of light threatened with a fond smile adorning his exquisite features, that got the two of them to keep quite "right were was I, the god of destruction was the one ruling and I think he's currently still ruling the empire of darkness..."
"But the supreme palace of darkness won't let anyone but the true ruler of the empire which is supposed to be the god of darkness" Luninda was obviously confused
"You're right, he isn't the true ruler of the empire of darkness he just keeps order, I think" the god of light is skeptical about the 'keep order' part because the empire of darkness Is probably the most corrupt place in the whole celestial realm "anyway, the war went on for years, both sides suffered huge losses" the god of light countinued "and if the empire of light hadn't gotten it's god of light it would have fallen numerous times" their mother added "it was getting tiring and even though we gods are immortal, we have an obvious weakness only gods stronger than you can kill you, and I was the strongest god then, though I'm still the strongest. I got tired of the endless fighting and called for a truce, of course the god of darkness didn't agree so easily, we negotiated for three days straight, before he agreed on the condition I married his youngest daughter who hadn't even had her coming of age ceremony. And I would do anything to stop the war at that point and if that's what it took then fine I would gladly sacrifice my happiness, at least that was my thought process then. But now I'm very glad I married your mother" the god of light said and pecked his wife on her forehead "mama if you're a citizen of the dark empire does that makes us half darkers too" Lumina asked excitedly, her mom chuckled and nodded "I have a question" Lucinda voiced, and the other two sisters could only pity their parents as Lucinda had the ability to ask the most awkward of questions "how long did it take the both of you to fall in love" Lucinda finished the question with her signature mischievous grin "three thousand years" the god of light answered, even Lucinda didn't expect a straight answer "that long" Lumina looked like she was about to cry "but we love each other very much now honey" her mother quickly added, then she glared at her oldest, who just shrugged.
"Mama, who ordered my kidnapping" they were currently in the training room, even though the god of light have already reached the peak of godhood, the others haven't so they were all training in their various godess techniques. The question Lumina asked forced the noisy training room into silence "lets wait for your father to finish with his paper work alright" her mother said "noo please, who ordered it and why" Lumina repeated " why does someone have to have ordered it" Luninda asked Lumina softly "because the person that kidnapped me was obviously working for someone, and no nightmare in their right mind would kidnap anyone related to a god or goddess except if it has a strong backing." Lumina answered, her answer received a nod of approval from Luninda "my father ordered it" her mom answered softly, the girls looked at her shocked "why" Lumina manged to ask "I was my father's most unfavored daughter, so he gave me away, thinking that Nicholas would kill me upon receiving me, so he could have a good excuse to countinue the war, your father obviously didn't kill me and when my coming of age ceremony arrived he even hosted it for me, it was very kind of him, though there was still a considerably large amount of animosity between us. A few weeks later I received my divine calling, I'm to become the goddess of destruction and the moment the news reached my father he regretted his actions of sending me away, I'm sure he was already thinking of what good a tool I'd be, so he used every method he could to get me back, and I would have gladly come back if I hadn't already ady fallen in love with your father, It was love at first sight for me, it just took your father longer.
So I guess he is trying to get to me through my daughter, but I swear if he tries it again I'll gladly wreck havoc on the empire of darkness" their mother finished explaining growling softly at the end "anyway Lumina have you recovered your powers back" the godess of destruction attempted to change the topic and Lumina albeit grudgingly dropped the previous topic "yeah, my powers is completely recovered" Lumina answered creating a yellow ball of light in her right palm. Her mother smiled and nodded.
★★★
Today, all of the family minus the god of light, as he had important monarch business to attend to. We gathered in a circle playing truth or dare.
"Your turn mother, truth or dare" Luninda asked "dare" the goddess of destruction smirked "I dare you to show me the light of chaos" Luninda smirked at the forced smile her mom was now sporting "your father will kill me if I use that technique it's dangerous" their mother pleaded "a dare is a dare mother" Lucinda smirked, their mother humphed and teleported them to a desert at the far outskirts of the light empire.
"I just pray the empire doesn't alert your father" the goddess whispered. She took a deep breath "stay behind me" she ordered her daughters, she moved her hands in a beautiful manner, age then made her hands fist and brought it close to her chest, she closed her eyes and opened them, they were now red "destroy" she whispered and threw both clenched fist in a punch like motion, just the aura of the attack alone, made the three girls fall to their knees, the attack was just about to hit the fifteen story sized sand dune, that's at least a kilometer from them the attack nullified "wait how did that happen" even the godess of destruction got confused, "nobody can nullify that attack easily except..."
"didn't I tell you to stop using that attack my love" they all stared in shock at the relatively pissed god of light before them, he glanced at his daughters and that's enough to tell them to skedaddle out of there. Lucinda grapped Lumina and the three of them disappeared
