CHAPTER 62

\Kavi’s POV:

When I raised my head, I found Chandran kneeling on the ground too.

"It seems like our little mistake turned out to have a very interesting outcome!" Prime Creator's sweet voice filled the air.

A familiar guilty laugh filled the air, confirming the communication was within them.

I raised my head and saw two white silhouettes floating above the surface of the moon. I could differentiate them because one figure showed a powerful aura, while the other radiated something that I had never experienced. The prime soul snapped her fingers, and a teleportation portal dropped Aadhavan from it. He looked around confused, but his senses made him kneel before the creators.

"Rise, my children! You guys made me wait for so long to come to this point. I am Destiny. I create time and my mirror souls to overlook the universe's solar systems. I'm from Gnewerin, the center-most point of the universe. Many huge oval-shaped sparkling spheres similar to eggs neatly sit on the floor in rows, and each egg is connected by a cosmic dust tube to the center point where the heart is situated.

“Those eggs bore the souls of the first powerful lives in the universe. They were sent to different voids to create the planets and life system. Not everyone can create life. In fact, this is the first Solar System to create lives on the surface of a planet. And that's because of my mistake—my mirror soul's mistake. She made the mistake of mixing up your souls. The one that was supposed to be as bright as the sun was released first by mistake, and your soul did the duties dictated by the darkness attached to your soul.

“I had two choices. I could leave the single mistaken soul alone here till its life ended, or I could risk mixing up the other souls to see what came from this. Obviously, as you can see, I chose the latter. The powerful dark one chose to be the balance instead of a Sun in another place.

“But their basic nature stayed with them like a layer of dust in the depths of their soul—the Goddess of Darkness was considerate, and the Moon God was crazy for power. But the complicated inner qualities and the position allocated to the Goddess of Darkness turned this place into a beautiful land. I predicted there was going to be life here, and it happened..."

I stood up and looked in their direction with a distant look. Her words kept us enlightened while she spoke. I was too amused to see everything visually. But I felt the change in her aura, and her body faced Chandran and Aadhavan.

"You men weren't worried about the way humanity was going but kept blaming me for everything they did. The planet I once admired the most was now turning into a big trash can, and space started to fill up with them. Peace was nowhere to be seen. I wanted that situation to change.

“You are a potential man, Aadhavan. But you are so deep in guilt and regret. You cursed Maayan to save your life, but that curse imprinted on you as a disgrace; hence you suffered a broken heart. You lost your chance to feel the bliss of love in this life.

“You were given a chance to choose, Chandran. But you denied it. Envy! It filled your brain with trash and see where you are now. At the feet of your fellow divine who you want to take down. If you think that you killed her once with your genius brain, just know that isn’t what happened. It was her gestation period. She developed powers to control the darkness embedded within her to lead this Solar System down the right path. The way she left might be painful, but that was needed to keep her soul in a determined state.

“Unlike you, she has more spiritual knowledge to treat every soul equally. She must make humanity realize what they have been doing to their home. Her future holds the responsibility to make humans change. If they keep going, another mass extinction would happen on the earth. A new era will begin, and evolution will start from scratch.

“I sent you here to be a balance. But you have paved a path to kill your fellow divine. And I expected her to kill you for good, the same way she showed no mercy for the rogue wolves she killed. But she still holds onto a part of light in her heart despite transforming into complete darkness. And the bright and cool Moon has a dark feeling in his heart. At last, I need to get involved now to make things right. You don't deserve to be divine here anymore. I am taking you back. You will be purified before starting your afterlife."

Despite being blessed with divinity, my nerves ran cold with anger at Destiny. My mind was processing slowly. I was stunned. It all seemed like a dream.

"Destiny! You have me wrong. You are trusting the wrong person. She isn't a strong person. She is always so irresponsible. That attitude of hers made me hate her. And I know her duties are so huge. She has shown her inefficiency many times. That's why I wanted to eliminate her to smooth things in this Solar System. I can't accept that you think so highly of her.

“I won't go down without a fight. Take all our powers and let us fight. I will show you what she is made of. That female has no strength compared to me without the divine powers. Please consider it my request, and please accept it."

He was begging on his knees for a second chance. But my mind pitied him as he still hadn't realized his mistake and was just trying to bring me down. He might have apologized to her by accepting his mistakes and asked for a chance to live the right life. No! This was Chandran, after all. I wondered what Destiny was going to decide.

I waited for our Prime Creator to reply to him. But a white gas appeared next to her, and Chandran clutched his heart and wailed in pain. Aadhavan rushed to me, pulled me away from the place, and forced me into space. I saw Chandran's body glowing brighter and brighter. After a certain point, his body glowed blindingly bright before he burst into dust. His soul seemed to be swallowed by the Prime Creator, and the brightness hanging over the place where Chandran had been standing was handed over to the white gas that stood next to the creators.

I clutched Aadhavan as I couldn't believe what had just happened. I closed my eyes tightly. My feet felt the land, and I realized Aadhavan had brought me down to the moon again. I opened my eyes slowly. The brightest aura seemed to be missing while the gas that came near us was still there, and I could feel the aura of our creator. The Prime Creator was gone.

I never expected him to be gone so soon. But I wouldn't judge the decision of the Prime Creator. She had done what she deemed to be right. If Chandran had done something wrong, the lives in this Solar System would be at risk. But I wished there was some other way. Despite his evil intentions, I was used to bearing with him for several billion years. And it made me sad.

'You don't have to worry. He will be given a job fit for him. I will be watching you all. Do your best!' Her voice rang in my ears. I smiled and nodded with a bow. I felt our creator coming towards us with that white gas.

"Greeting, Creator. You seemed to be gone for a long time. We missed you," I said to her.

"Destiny wants me to stay away to see what happens here without my guidance. But a lot happened!" She sighed and continued. "Ok, guys! Now, I want to introduce, Mathi, the Moon Goddess, to you. She will take care of the Moon in this Solar System and maintain balance here. Don't worry. She was formed to be a moon, so her qualities will be refreshing and cool. She’s had plenty of enlightenment about this Solar System. But you two should help her from the very beginning. I recommend that more souls should serve her to build her realm."

And then the white gas took the form of a graceful young woman. Things were changing so quickly. The new Moon Goddess greeted us with joined palms, and we returned her greeting.

"Conduct periodic meetings like old times and try to restore the earth," she advised us. And I could tell she was about to leave.

"Creator! Would you please spend a few minutes with me...alone?" I asked her. I felt her humming. I turned around to Aadhavan.

"Aadhavan, spend some time with her. I am going to my realm with Creator. We will have the meeting later this afternoon." I bid them goodbye excitedly and closed my eyes to teleport to my realm. I felt her presence next to me. I led her to the pond in silence.

"This question has been nagging my brain for several years, Creator. I am a divine. Am I allowed to fall in love?"

Her soft laughter reached my ears.

"I advised you once that your choices would lead you to certain consequences. But I already knew you couldn't stay away from him. And about Maayan or Akhilan, whatever you name his soul, he will never leave you alone. He was bound to your soul from your first life. He is a star that brightens your sky. And he will follow you like a comet to be with you. He will melt and mold to be with you and make you crave him.

“The divine duties have never been as complicated as the three in this Solar System because this is the first to bear life. And your firstborn will be a very powerful soul. That soul will mark the end of this solar system when the right time comes, and he will live beyond time. If you intend to have other children, they will be born immortal with certain special powers. Don't overthink and live the life granted to you happily. I will leave now. Let’s meet at the meeting."

She spoke in her ever calming, soft tone. The part about our children warmed my heart as I had believed that wasn't possible with Chandran's lie. I gave her a full bow in respect, and she left.

With a broad smile, I entered the castle. The cry of a familiar voice made me run inside, but laughter broke through me when I saw Mukilan's face shoved against the wall with his left hand twisted behind his back by Aadhira.

"You might be a guest of our Goddess, but I will not let your perverted vision about me be taken the wrong way. Don't you dare come near me! If you ever touch me without my permission, I swear I will break your neck."

She kicked his calf muscle, making him lose balance, and shoved him hard to the ground. She dusted her hands and looked in my direction, and her angry expression changed as if she was a deer caught in headlights. She quickly bowed to me and smiled sheepishly, scratching her neck. I looked at the man at her feet, groaning in pain. He rose a bit, looked at me with relief, and extended his hand to me.

"Moon! This woman is so brutal and rude. How are you managing her?" Mukilan stood up with my support, complaining about Aadhira.

"Don't say that name again in this realm!" Aadhira gritted out.

"Hey! Aadhira, Calm down. I was just like him until a few months ago. You shouldn't judge him without knowing him. Give my friend a chance. He is a good person. And many unexpected things happened over this night. You don't have to carry your hatred towards a nonexistent person anymore."

They had been glaring at each other but stilled when I said the last part.

"WHAT?" Their unified shout made my eardrums hurt.

"Arrange a throne meeting immediately. I have a huge announcement to make."

Aadhira nodded and left, but I could tell she wanted to know sooner. She didn't expect this so suddenly.

I walked to my room and found my man in deep slumber without any awareness of things happening around him.

'He was bound to your soul from your first life. He is a star that brightens your sky. And he will follow you like a comet to be with you. He will melt and mold to be with you.'

The Creator's words rang in my ear. A big grin appeared on my face. I crawled on the bed and sat next to him. I stroked his hair softly. His lips curled up and he leaned into my touch. I love it when he recognizes me subconsciously. His smile widened when my fingers massaged his scalp. But suddenly, his expression turned into a frown, and suddenly he sat up looking around the room. When his eyes found mine, he launched towards me, engulfing me in a hug.

"Please tell me you went there without me." His sleepy voice was filled with worry.

"I returned just a few minutes ago."

I held his hand and connected to his mind and shared the memory of the great event that happened a few hours ago, except for our creator’s visit with me to the realm.

"Why did you do this to me? What if something happened to you? That bastard created bright creatures! If she hadn't killed him, I would have surely done it. Please, cupcake…don't risk your life ever! I could not live without you."

"But that is what you always do! How did you expect me to live when you always run into the clutches of death in the name of saving me? We are almost the same! I can't change that," I replied to him. He frowned as I stated the truth. Silence fell between us.

"I am sorry. Now I know how you might have felt when I left you. I promise you. I will never leave you again. Chandran might have gone. But I don’t want you to risk your life again. Please cupcake. Listen to me on this one matter." He pleaded with me with puppy eyes, but his words were sincere. I pulled my hand away from him and cleared my throat.

"Why are you talking as if we are a couple? Didn't everything between us end already? You should return to earth. I have no obligation to protect you anymore. I have a meeting to attend. I don't want to see you again!" I spoke formally with firmness in my voice.

He still didn't apologize for his biggest mistake yet. It was incorrigible. Maybe I should do a demo for that too. Then it will hit him. But he knew that feeling already when he didn't realize he was a mirror soul of Maayan.

Whatever!

I turned around to walk away, but his hand caught my wrist, and he pulled me to crash into his chest. His other hand quickly circled me. I looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Aadhira knocked and came in but froze on seeing us so close. She quickly turned around with crimson cheeks.

"Sorry, Goddess. I thought he was staying in another room."

"It's not what you think, Aadhira. Someone enjoys annoying me. Everything set for the gathering?" I asked her trying to release myself from him.

"Uh! Yes, Goddess! People are waiting for you!" She replied, still facing the door.

"Leave me, Akhilan. Can't you see? My people are waiting." I gritted out.

"Then end this game now. I am tired of this. I know you want me more than I want you. Then why this chase?" He questioned me cockily.

"No! I have got enough from you. I don't need anyone anymore." I replied slowly, trying to pretend I was sad. But he didn't fall for it as he tightened his grip around my waist.

Aadhira cleared her throat, reminding us of her presence. I pushed slightly on his chest, but he stood there unaffected. He sighed and spoke.

"Aadhira, can you please postpone the meeting to evening. If anyone asks why the meeting was postponed, tell them that your Goddess was trying to get conceived." His hand moved to my ass while his ruby eyes bore into my eyes. My body reacted on its own as his words had a very serious impact on me.

Damn this luscious wizard!

I shoved him hard for real and walked quickly towards Aadhira pulling her wrist towards the Throne hall. Loud laughter filled my ears melodiously from behind me. She was trying hard to hide her flushed face, but Mukilan appeared out of nowhere before we could reach the throne and displayed all his teeth on seeing his mate blushing.

She quickly composed herself and glared at him. I mentally laughed as I could foresee their happy future.

Time to let my people know the big event that was going to change the path of the solar system.
