Emi the Deity
Chapter 9: A
Kidnapping
“She’s the deity!” The customer jumped up excitedly. Her hands
clapped together.
Emi stared at her confused. “Uhh…”
She walked up to Emi with the happiest
look in her eyes. She grabbed a hold of his hand. “I’ve been looking for you!
I’m so glad you’re such a kind young lady.”
“Eh,” Emi tried to step back. “Listen, I
think you’re confused,”
“No I’m not. You’re the new water deity!”
She threw her arms around him. Her hug was so tight that Emi felt his bones
begin to crack. “I’m so glad I found you! Come on, the fields are in desperate
need of you.” She began pulling Emi by his hand.
“Fields?” Emi gasped, “What are you
talking about?”
She simply giggled. “My fields. I need
you to heal them. My deity powers aren’t enough to heal them.” She placed a 20
dollar bill on the table. She turned and grabbed a hold of Emi’s hands, “But
with you, I can heal them all up. My fields will be lively and beautiful
again!”
“Listen, I don’t think,” Emi began but
was cut off by her dragging him to the door. Once they stood outside, she
grabbed the rose hairpin from her hair. She snapped the hairpin opened and it
became a portal. “What’s that!?” Emi gasped.
“It’s a portal to my fields,” she stated,
“Now come on. My fields don’t have long.”
Emi was pushed into the portal.
Emi landed into a field. He cried out as
thorns stuck his arms. He sat up and stared around him. For miles and miles on
end, there was nothing but roses. There was a dirt path were the branches and
vines of roses didn’t overlap for people to walk on. It would have been
beautiful, except for the fact that all of the foliage here was brown and
withered.
“Where is this place?” Emi shouted.
“These are my flowers fields,” the woman
stated as she came through the portal. “I’m Carmen, a rose deity.” She waved
her hands over the fields as she brought Emi to the dirt path. “I’ve tried my
best to keep my roses alive, but something is keeping them from thriving. I
think they’re not getting enough water. I’ve brought all the water I can, but
it’s not enough. But you can create plenty of water for my roses.”
Carmen grabbed hold of Emi’s hands, a
hopeful look in her eyes.
Emi bit his lip. He was sure the roses
used to be beautiful. He was a water deity, Carmen had gotten that right. But
Emi had never created water. He was still having trouble not freezing water. He
had no clue if he could ‘create’ water for these dying fields. But he didn’t
want to disappoint the deity.
“It’s a deity’s job to help
those in need when it falls into their area,” Symphia stated during one of
their training sessions.
Emi smiled as he placed a hand over hers.
“I’ll try my best. But I can’t guarantee anything. I’m still very new to this
deity thing.”
