“Do our powers come from memories and experiences then?” Tuyen was first to speak.

“My question is,” Caela was far more aggressive in her questioning, and if the Child had to honest she wasn't entirely unfounded. “If you’re predecessors had enough power to make us all think, why can’t you defeat the glutton. Why do we have to do it? Why the fuck are we the ones who landed with these powers and shitty situation?”

The Child sighed as these were the questions that they were expecting and they knew the exact answers to their questions. Of course, it wouldn't make it any more difficult or harder for them to grasp. It was a difficult situation for the child themselves.

[b]"... Because I lack that power."[/b] The Child said with sorrow as the view of Godforce seemingly faded away. It was almost as if it was an illusion that the Child was breaking. It was replaced with pitch blackness. [b]"In fact... I do not even exist in the same plane of existence as you all, nonetheless the Godforce."[/b]

"Then where [i]do[/i] you exist?" Jordan was the one who insightfully asked the question, being rather impartial to the whole Godforce nonsense. If this was heaven, then she definitely didn't belong there.

[b]"I am trapped in... The Void... space outside of reality itself which contains... nothing, except other beings beyond your comprehension,"[/b] The Child gestured to the blackness that was around them. [b]"My predecessors, when defining what is creation and what isn't... made it nigh-impossible for even them to get into the other side. So, I can only assist you for short amounts of time, as I am so disconnected from my true power."[/b]

Then the illusion faded and they were back at the Godforce, the massive tree that was the source of all creation. The Child knew that they had plenty of time to explain the rest of what they needed to know. Of course, they wanted to clear up any and all ambiguity about the Awakened and your powers.

"As for why you are the ones who have the powers, and in the situation; it's simple,"[/b] The Child smiled as they looked across the group they all seemed to be rather expectant of the knowledge... except for Britney and Sharon. [b]"The Primordials, during the act of ultimate compassion, decided to bless humanity with a tiny fragment of their power - but, only to certain humans."[/b]

The Child raised their hand up into the air and the God-Force disappeared again and hundreds of silhouettes of different people appeared. They were of various of different shapes, sizes, and so forth, but otherwise featureless. Until a light appeared in their brains, and the Child continued.

[b]"Those who possess a powerful emotion inside themselves gain the potential to open their minds, hearts, bodies, and souls to the universe. To the Godforce. By doing so, they allow themselves to gain an ability that reflects them. Reflects their memories, experiences, and emotions. You all may have noticed that by now?"[/b]

"Yeah, I had a feeling," Justin said as he grabbed onto his wrist and fire appeared directly in his hand. He was always told he had a firey, larger than life personality, but a few things about his abstraction still puzzles him.

[b]"However, it's a lot more than just that,"[/b] The Child started off, [b]"By awakening, you become connected to the Godforce. Thus you are all connected to the memories that have been absorbed, and [i]each other.[/i]"[/b]

"What does that mean...?" Justin asked.

[b]"When the time is right, you can see a vision of the past or see a vision of the present if your connection is strong enough with a perfect. It also allows you all to communicate with each other, and possibly share abstractions."[/b] 

Though, the area shook, as if it was static on television, which was a sign that the Child had to be brief. There was one thing that they had to answer. It was their duty... 

“The glutton; it craves the Godforce, doesn't it?”

The Child shivered for a moment upon hearing that sentence, the Child turned their head towards Cyrus.[b] "... The Glutton craves [i]creation itself[/i]."[/b] The Child started off, if they had a face it would most likely have been contorted into a horrified look. 

"Do you know what the hell it even is? Where it came from?" Sharon finally spoke up as she put a hand on her hip.

The Child replied with a shake of their head, before adding on, [b]"It was no being created by my predecessors, it just... appeared and devoured everything, but there is something I must show you all..."[/b] 

Everything went pitch black for a moment again, before millions of orb-shaped lights that were connected by a web-light thread. It appeared above them and it was almost... beautiful.

[b]"When my predecessors made creation, they created countless alternate universes... infinite worlds you might say,"[/b] The Child started off, [b]"And it was beautiful... but now there are only a tiny fraction left."[/b]

Then the lights faded away one by one, and the Child looked rather... sullen. Until there were only fourteen universes left, and Britney pointed at each of them and silently recited,

[i]"... And they are Shimmer, Glint, Spark, Gleam, Shade, Halo, Shine, Illuminate, Flash, Halo, Beacon, Flare, Torch, and Ray."[/i]

"What happened?" Justin asked with a raised eyebrow.

[b]"... The Glutton consumed them all."[/b]
