chapter 7
N/A: Here we go, more adventures of our fav Outer God lol.
Summoning gods is a daunting task, make no mistake, even if you´re a powerful witch or wizard, however, summoning an Outer God is like a chocolate box you can´t ever know which flavor is in the box.
Dorothy was promised great magic, a reward for all her endless tasks, sure she wanted to go home, but, at the same time she wanted to see the magic.
Dorothy will see magic, no matter what. The girl picks a needle and gentle-still uneasy and her decision protected by the ignorance of everyone else- inflicts the needle on her finger, causing 2 drops of blood to fall on the small fire.
Oz, the magician, is nothing but a charlatan. His words and actions are perfect to save his face her friends want something far abstract to physically convey.
Courage
Brain
Heart
Too easy to trick those who know no better. Dorothy knows better. Dorothy saw a person dies by water- the witch screams in agony still in her mind, Dorothy remembers watching and feeling something- and now, Dorothy wants to see more of magic.
Dorothy stares at the fire, gorging her mere 2 drops of blood, and now she asks. “I want to see the real magic, I want to learn magic and I want to control my destiny,” Dorothy could have added how she wanted to go home.
But the sentiment is in the past.
She and Toto are looking for the future, why return to boring old Kansas, if she can explore more of this land? learn more of land where she doesn´t need to be silly Dorothy, she can be whatever she wants.
It seems her friends listen to her words notice how the fire is now in blue color and are reacting like she expected them to do it. Oz, the magician is the one with big eyes on the fire as his forehead is almost glowing with the sweat.
A woman with blue hair, a round face, and wearing a white dress-it has long sleeves or maybe her skin is naturally pale to the point the dress and her skin are the same-emerge from the fire way to friendly.
“Hello, who summon me?” she asked amused and giggles as she sees Dorothy staring in awe at the creature/woman who is taller than Dorothy and yet still seems friendly.
“I did,” Dorothy dumbly replies. “I want to learn magic, real magic!”
The others are gaping at Dorothy and chided her for such a foolish request. “Do you know who she is?”
“I think she does not, but, she summons, which makes things even better,” the being stated amused and introduced herself, “I´m Zaorva, I´m an Outer God of magic, let’s put this way,” Toto bark as if saying something.
Zaorva laughs amused, too amused, and pets the tiny´s dog head.
“Can you teach me magic?”
“Why, of course! The thing here is...are you willing to pay the price?” Zaorva asked looking at the sky for a moment, “look, I´m breaking some rules,” no shame in her voice which impress Dorothy very much, “the one who rules this land may not be upset with me if I teach everyone magic, so, Dorothy, if you want to learn magic...” Zaorva trails off staring at the others.
The others stare back with fear and awe in their eyes.
They´re saying to not accept the offer, but really, if Dorothy says no...it would be so rude with a powerful god such as Zaorva.
Ok, Dorothy is ignorant about who is Zaorva, but she can piece together the woman is strong enough if her entrance has anything to say about it.
“What’s the price? My mortal soul? My first child?” she looks at her dog with horror and recoils. “not my dog, not Toto!”
“Hey, hey,” she raises her hands and her voice is so honeyed now. “Who am I to separate a girl and her dog? I´m not evil, trust me on that,” Toto seems to bark in confirmation of that line.
“All I ask for you is to let me claim you, by doing so I´ll not be breaking any rule, “ she’s pouting and looking at the sky and now back to Dorothy, “and you´re free from his wandering eyes and can learn magic never heard before,”
Dorothy holds Toto in a way he’s literally in her face, his pawns are ghostly touching her face. “What you think Toto?”
Toto responds by licking her face and the girl giggles.
“Ok, I accept the deal! Zaorva, teach me magic”
“Fantastic, and I´m not breaking THAT rule again, love,” she said, looking at the sky and Dorothy has the impression someone was chuckling darkly, or to be more exact, someone in the sky IS watching her.
The feeling passed, and Dorothy stares at Zaorva as biting one of her fingers. The blood is black-at least; it appears to be black so- and one drop of her blood enters in contact with Dorothy’s blood.
“Now, is done...we´re gone to learn a lot from each other!”
LK has many domains, universes, empires, and all for his pleasure of seeing destroyed one day. LK is also married to a life who does things out of her free will and desire.
“Why Dorothy? My world has magic already...” LK said, holding a goblet of wine.
“Well, no reason, but she was doing something so funny, who drops blood on fire? Plus, she has a cute dog!”
“Hum, so your plan is to teach her YOUR magic?”
“Absolutely, I´m an Outer God of my word, she´ll learn my magic and the chaos that comes within.”
“Hum, more chaos to Oz,” LK said chuckling as things will be chaotic in OZ. Zaorva lay her head on his shoulder. “What if Dorothy had a cute cat?”
“Well, in-universe 1799 she does...” and she muses a bit. “Pheonix will take her under her wing,”
“Gross!”
Zaorva chuckles and lets the being of destruction play with her hair.
