[hr]

Oraelia gasped. Consciousness returned to her as if the sun had exploded. Her eyes opened to find herself in the same place as before, a dark void with herself being the only source of light. As she tried to calm herself, her thoughts turned to Lucia. She grabbed her head and let out a small wail, remembering her last thought of Lucia. Her daughter’s face had been one of pain and sadness, a thought that cut deeply. 

Before she could even think about it more, a bright tear in reality ripped open in front of her. She recoiled, even blinked as she looked upon the intrusion. Wait- Was it an intrusion? Or was she… She shook her head, reaching out a hand to it and felt… She felt several presences, divine in nature. Siblings? Gibbou! Where was Gibbou? Why didn’t she feel Gibbou!

Then before she knew it, a small thing came out of the portal screaming and wailing as if her best friend had just been murdered by a clown. Golden coloured tears trailed her cheeks, frow burrowed as she desperately tried to get away from the portal, only managing to flail in place in front of the rift. 

The void wasn’t a proper place for a plant girl like her, it seemed. As she started to visibly panic, she turned to the Goddess of Light and threw the misshapen ball of clay she had been holding toward Oraelia. [color=tomato]”TREE-JACK IS DEAD, BAD MEN WILL EAT GENESIS SOON!! BUT MOONIE WILL BE OKAY WITH THE SUN, MOONIE! D-don’t forget Genesis...”[/color] She pleaded, reducing herself to a whimpering, quivering ball towards the end of her heartfelt speech.

Oraelia caught this 'Moonie' before she could even react to what had just occurred.  [Color=gold]"Genesis?"[/color] she asked herself, feeling as if she had heard that name once. The one before her was Divine but also a… Child. Made of plants? Or she was plants? Her thoughts quickly flashed to the baby she had once carried before she swiftly made her way over to the little one and knelt down beside her. 

[color=tomato][sub]”Ah!”[/sub][/color] The little plant girl squealed upon seeing what she had thought was the sun move, and so she curled into a ball and tightly closed her eyes.

Oraelia shoved her thoughts aside and her feelings, instead choosing to focus on the life that was before her. In a gentle voice she began to speak. [Color=gold]"Is your name Genesis, little one?"[/color]

After hearing Oraelia’s voice and her own name, Genesis hesitantly opened her eyes and looked at the Goddess of Light, then nodded once. The movement was so small it was almost unnoticeable.

Her heart broke a little, seeing the child so afraid. [color=gold]”Hey, heeeey. There’s no reason to be afraid, I’m not going to hurt you. I would never do that to a friend of Moonie’s!”[/color] she whispered with a warm smile. Genesis’ golden eyes sparkled slightly as she perked up.

[color=tomato]”Y-You know… Moonie?”[/color] She asked in a small voice, hopefully. [color=tomato]”The Sun saw um… Her beauty page-ants? She won-”[/color] Genesis frowned and started counting with her hands, one finger at a time until all ten fingers were outstretched. Then she showed her hands to Oraelia. [color=tomato]”Um, she won more page-ants than this!”[/color]

Oraelia nodded, happily smiling as her heart began to feel warm again. She moved from her knees and sat down cross legged before Genesis. She looked at Moonie and with one finger, touched the misshapen ball of clay. It stirred to life, floating up like one of her wisps, before circling Genesis’ head. [color=gold]”There! She’s awake and ready to win more Page-ants.”[/color] Oraelia winked at the girl. 

[color=tomato]”Oooo!”[/color] Genesis cooed, looking between Moonie and Oraelia as she wiped at her old tears,  [color=tomato]”Moonie was sad, ever since the others told Moonie she was ugly. Now Moonie is happy again!! Thank you Sun!!!”[/color] Genesis grinned widely, springing up then twiddling her thumbs as she looked up at Oraelia. [color=tomato]”Ummm… [sub]Hug?[/sub]”[/color] She asked quietly, hesitantly spreading her arms.

[color=gold]”Of course!”[/color] she said, happy tears coming to her eyes as she enveloped Genesis in a very tight and warm hug. [color=gold]”Oh you sweet little thing, I’m so glad I could make you smile.”[/color] Oraelia said. Genesis let out a little happy squeal as she was squeezed and she squeezed back, not letting go. 

[color=tomato]”The Sun is very nice! Genesis knew someone that makes tasty light has to be good! And you made Moonie happy!”[/color] Genesis said quickly, her leaves quivering almost as much as her over-excited voice. Meanwhile, Moonie floated over and settled on top of Genesis’ head. [color=tomato]”But you see Sun! I escaped from these big bad men! I came into this grey, big place and there was a man. The bad man saw me and jumped to me and it was sooo scary! Like… Like a biiig giraffe! The bad man was going to eat Genesis’s leaves.”[/color] She explained with a pout.

Oraelia frowned slightly. Who would want to hurt her? Then again… She was a child, or acted as one. No, she was probably a child. Could she have perhaps, misinterpreted what was going on? It was likely, but Oraelia wouldn’t know for sure until she met these ‘bad men’. What was this place she talked of? Her gaze wandered to the portal. What was through it?

She turned to look back down at Genesis. [color=gold]”I see. Well, you know what? I’m not going to let those bad men hurt you. This is a safe place. But…!”[/color] she said looking around while Genesis squirmed giddily in her arms, [color=gold]”This place needs a touch up, don’t you think? Would you like to help me?”[/color] she asked excitedly. 

Genesis pursed her lips, then nodded. [color=tomato]”O-Okay. Will Sun show Genesis how to help?”[/color]

[color=gold]”Of course!”[/color] she said, getting to her feet and helping Genesis to hers. She took the child’s hand within hers and gave a little squeeze. She didn’t really know what she was doing, but it felt right to do something, anything, with the space before her. But what to make it? She thought about this for a moment before an idea sprung to her mind. She looked down at Genesis and said, [color=gold]”Alright, all you have to do is raise your arm up like mine, okay? Then think about a really, really big sun and a blue sky, and fields upon fields of grasses with a gentle breeze. Can you do that for me?”[/color] she asked. 

Genesis nodded and closed her eyes tightly as she imitated Oraelia’s raised arm, then groaned a little as she started to think harder than she ever had before. [color=tomato]”O… Ooo! Genesis can see another Sun! And sky!!”[/color] She almost shouted, her eyes still closed.

Oraelia giggled, and willed it to be. First came a sun, far, far away. An imitation of her first born, but it would work all the same. Next, the blackness that surrounded them erupted with grass and trees, and the sky became a beautiful blue. A gentle breeze began to blow, carrying with it pleasant aromas. From the endless grasses burst forth flowers upon flowers, coming in all different colors under the sun. It was a start and one that Genesis would think she helped with. She gave a slight frown at the thought of lying to the girl, but she doubted she would know the difference. Plus, she would soon forget anyway.

[color=gold]”Alright Genesis, open your eyes and look at what we’ve done!”[/color] Oraelia exclaimed and Genesis positively jumped, gasping as she opened her eyes and took in the view, quickly turned to look at Oraelia with starry, wide eyes and an euphoric grin.

[color=tomato]”G… Genesis did THAT? Yaay! Genesis made a new Sun!”[/color]

[color=gold]”You did such a good job Genesis! Look at all the flowers, oh and the breeze and the blue skies… Oh, it’s beautiful… But… It isn’t really Galbar is it?”[/color] she seemed to whisper to herself. Where was Galbar?

Genesis frowned and tilted her head, confused. [color=tomato]”Galbar has… Very big mountains, Sun. and a big tree! And very big, like, bowls of water. Galbar is very big. Genesis thought this for a long time. Genesis has many thoughts, but they all sound different, It is a little scary.”[/color] The girl admitted a little sadly.

Oraelia quickly returned to the moment and bent down with a look of concern scrawled across her face. [color=gold]”What do you mean, Genesis? You have different thoughts?”[/color]

[color=tomato]”Uh-huh… Many thoughts in many voices. Genesis thinks it’s the voices of her drowned friends, but there are too many new ones, and sometimes they say scary things. O… O-One time Genesis thought of burning plants! It was very scary. Fire is scary. It is not like pretty Sun. Genesis likes you, Sun.”[/color]

[color=gold]”Oh Genesis…”[/color] Oraelia said, wrapping the girl into another hug. It was a frightening development, and a reminder that not everything was what it seemed to be. Genesis was a god, after all, and it seemed Gods were many things.

Before she could say anything else, a familiar voice echoed throughout her realm. Gibbou! Her head snapped to the portal, as she heard her sister cry her name. Then she heard another god, angry or perhaps annoyed, talking about... Vacation? What even was that? She shook her head, and pushed it from her mind- Gibbou was all that mattered. 

[color=gold]”Genesis… Listen. We need to go back through the portal, okay? I promise I won’t let the bad men hurt you.”[/color] Oraelia pleaded. 

After a moment’s hesitation, Genesis nodded and grabbed Oraelia’s hand. [color=tomato]”O… Okay. But if they try to eat Genesis, Genesis will run.”[/color]

[color=gold]”Then they’ll have to eat me too!”[/color] she said playfully, walking towards the portal. 


[hider=Summary]
Oraelia wakes up in her realm. Ruminates on what happened, but before she can delve deeper, Genesis arrives and Oraelia goes full mom mode. The two bond and Oraelia creates her realm before hearing Gibbou and Tekret. She then decided to go to the portal.
