Light-girl

The kickoff~ 1



Tenny had the power of light. She could appear wherever light exists. She got the power from her mother, a Goddess. Her mother was just like everyone else till she was chosen by Goddess Seria to be the next Goddess. But a Goddess needs not human flesh. So she slept and woke up on one night in another land. She left her body on earth and entered the world of light.

The death of Tenny's mother brought sorrow to Tenny who was already fatherless. She had a father, but he had abandoned them since Tenny was young. Tenny saw her mother in her dream that night and was so delighted. She did not even want to wake up from the dream. Her mother promised to always be with her and gave her the power of light as a gift. The power had been so cherished by different beings that when Tenny was given the power, she was envied and they became her enemies.

Tenny lived a normal life; went to school like every other kid, played like every other kid, fought like every other kid, was stubborn than every other kid, and was intelligent than so many other kids. But she did not understand that to survive on earth, one had to be strong because of the plot of the evil doers. She had never used her hidden ability and didn't even have an idea of how to do so.

Tenny lived with her father's elder sister, Madam Raty, also called mummy by Tenny, who had no child of her own. It makes one suspect that the aunt was behind all the bad things that happened to Tenny, so that Tenny would be adopted by her.

Almost every day, Tenny would be reported to Madam Raty that she had caused a fight or trouble either at school or at the neighbourhood, Madam Raty would flog Tenny for a long time and because of her stubbornness, she would refuse to cry. She not only was stubborn, she saw crying as a thing for small kids. The last time she cried for anything was the night of her mother's death, while in the dream.

Gostoki was planning cunningly on how he could get the power of light from the young girl that had no need for it. Gostoki was a spirit that was banned from entering the Light world again, because he wanted to kill every light spirit including Goddess Reshui, the Goddess that made him before Goddess Seria.

His ban from the light world made him realise that he could make his own world. So he made the gloom world. He would have had it as dark world, but the dark world had been colonised by Masters greater than he was and he wasn't ready to bow to anyone.

Gostoki needed the power of light to ascend into the greater grounds, so he could lord the dark world and gloom world and every other world under the evil domain. His next mission would then be to conquer the light world.

He stood up from his throne which was more like a poor man's chair. It had so many holes and had to be repaired countless times. Indeed, it was an outdated chair. It was one of the things he could take from the light world while he was being thrown out.

Gostoki took a look at the earth. It was much more worse than the last time he checked it- seven seconds ago. Many factors were destroying the earth.

His eyes searched for the power of light and there it was in the very heart of a young girl. He hated her with passion and had tried since she was given the power, to collect it without leaving his world. But, every trial brought bad results. There was nothing he could do to her. He couldn't even take her life.

Gostoki relaxed back into his chair, he had done the thinking almost every time. No results; simply no results. The problem was that he felt too proud to go to the dark world to ask for advice, knowing he would be their Lord very soon.

Gostoki stood up from the ground with his head spinning. He took a look at where he was seated. The chair had collapsed and it landed him hard on the floor. He laid back on the floor and faced the roof of his abode. Only him was living in the gloom world. He was so lonely and he wished for power.

Finally, he rose up and divided himself to two. The other part was not an exalt replica of him. The real him was smarter than his second.

His mind made the second begin to bring the chair back up. He made a third him and the third was doing the repair. Again, the fourth which was doing the errands.

Gostoki was still lying on the floor while his copies did the work. He turned and looked at the broken chair again. This time, his eyes caught saw the chair from a different perspective. He smiled ear to ear. A new idea came to his mind.
