A God awakens from its long slumber. The once stone body was now glowing and almost blinfing to the eye. It began to hear cheers of people in the distance. People bowing and celebrating. It bowed with them. The god was meet by the, as it guessed king of the kingdom, where they were brought to a small room where they could speak in private.
"welcome to our kingdom I hope you can see it as home," said the king
The god said softly, "I have no interest in serving this kingdom nor its people so why do you summon me?"
"We only wish for your help" he continued. "You see here were running out of resources and our people are becoming starved. We only wish for your help in this matter"
"What makes you think I'll agree," said the God
"we could easily enslave you" the king said.
(Gods in this world aren't as free as you may think. there summoned to do a task and once its completed there put back into a lifeless statue again. There is a way to enslave a god, it's a device made by mankind for the exact issue stated here. Although if used the god will then die alongside the person who used it. After a god is summoned and does not make a deal with its summoners it'll turn back to stone after 24 hours. A deal is not determined only until certain conditions are meet.)
"Forcing me to accept I see. Well then I guess I have no other choice" the god said.
"I hope you understand we had no choice either" he said.
"I'll agree on the condition that I'm not again turned to stone when I complete your task”
“Unfortunately, we can't do that.”
“You can make me, a god a slave. but you can make me not a statue?” said the god in an unhappy almost sarcastic tone.
There was silence is the small empty room they were in.
“I have a proposal” the king said. “We can make a deal on something else with a longer time limit if you can agree to help us. That way we get what you want and you can stay in the human world longer.”
The god was interested. And gestured for the king to keep going.
“how about you serve to a” he paused as he thought of something easy that the god would agree to. And then a small child walked in, only about 9 or 10. Black short hair and brown eyes. The child seemed to want to ask a qestion but stayed quite.
“How about I serve as an advisor to that child until they reach adult hood.” said the god.
“An advisor for a child” said the king shocked.
“it doesn't seem like it would be difficult especial since the child is yet to speak.”
“Yes, but why that out of all things,” said the king.
“Because my king, my time is limited and it was the first thing that came to mind. Do you have a better idea?”
“You have a deal” said the king as he raised out a hand.
The god grabbed it and with that a deal was made. The once glowing god body transformed into the shape of a small human girl. Long purple hair flowed down her back as she curtsied a puffy light blue dress she was now wearing. Small freckles across her face along with two blue eyes.
“You’re a child” the king said shocked.
“Don't get me wrong I may be young but I still have the knowledge of all the other gods before me. And don’t blame me for your stupidity of not asking more questions. Don’t worry ill fix your recourses issue and do the job I was assigned with this child too.” said the god.
“sorry I had no intention to insult you." said the king
As the god stopped bowing, she said, “well then, whatever your name is child, my name is Hereti, the god of deception. I'm delighted to serve you.”
