the god pov (his name is sephtis) ((sef-tis))

being a forgotten god is probably the worst about being an old god, me, sephtis the god of love and kindness, sitting here patiently waiting for the day my shrine gets torn down

I sat on my throne, watching the trees dance with the wind, my walls were covered in plants and vines, and wildflowers were growing in the cracks of the floor, yet somehow it still looked like a shrine

I sighed, waiting for someone, anyone to show up

however, when I was waiting I didn't actually expect someone to show up let alone a human girl, a child, an actual eight-year-old girl who wandered into my forgotten shrine

"...h-hello!" the young girl quietly yelled as my head lifted from my hand with my eyes widened, she couldn't see me and I knew she couldn't "if...if anyone is there! I have a gift for you!" she looked around while walking to my throne

she kneeled down and placed down- a piece of candy? in my entire five hundred years of living and three hundred years of being worshipped, I have never received a piece of candy

I did nothing but smile, then I heard a yell "grace!" a feminine voice called

"coming mama!" she stood up and ran out my door, leaving the piece of candy behind

"grace huh, what a nice name for a nice girl," I said leaning down and picking up the sweet, inspecting it "my high priestess," I stood up, placed the candy on my throne, and I followed the young girl or grace I should say

it took me a while to figure out where she went, but I found her in a playground and she is- getting attacked?!

who dares to hurt my priestess, my loyal follower, but I should not do something too extreme to the young men, ill just take their sweets out of their lunch

I bring their lunches out to me and zip them open taking out the sweets and zipping them back up and placing them back in the bag, I threw the sweets into the void as an annoying bell rings and the young boys run to the door

"my poor priestess" I kneel down to her and softly stroke her cheek with the back of my hand making myself visible to her

"Who...who are you" she whispered inspecting my face, my eyes softly glowing a white, and the x shape scar that cover my face

"oh my dear, I am sephtis, that old forgotten shrine you walked into and placed that candy on the floor in front of a throne, that was my throne darling" my finger dragged across her bruises and cuts, healing them in an instant

"it doesn't hurt..." she looked at my arm that was covered in pink thick scars "...your scars?" she said in a confused tone lifting her hand up to my arm

"ah...my scars, don't worry about them darling" I smiled 

"do they hurt?" she asked

"no love, they haven't hurt for a long time, im all better now" I took my hand off her and she took her hand off my arm

"oh-kay..." she inspected me more, looking at the golden chocker on my neck with golden chains attached that rested on my chest and the gold rings on my biceps

"grace! get in here right now!" a rude voice yelled at her, she didn't respond she just tiredly stood up and walked over

"my darling?" I followed her, she was getting yelled at by this random woman with orangey brown hair and bangs, her hair looked dead and her eyebags were very visible

"what were you thinking staying out there?! get in here im calling your parents have a fun time explaining this to the principal!" she pulled grace inside and I managed to step in before the door closed

"im sorry miss" grace whispered

"you better be" they both walked into an office and grace walked into a room on the side where a woman with black glasses and long brown hair sat in a chair

"oh grace, i was told you got in trouble, what happened" the women asked kindly








A/N im sorry its so short my arm hurts so i cant write a ton today
