A reunion of worlds by D.A.Sanford - HTML preview

It’s about time

There have been very many long years since the day of hide. The change is dramatic now that they are reunited with those who, in the long forgotten past, were afflicted through no fault of their own. Like the other two worlds, they have always been under the eyes of the gods.

There has been a lot of visitors between the worlds. Some griping from our people about being stopped at the modern world’s door and having items confiscated as banned on this world. Each world is very conscious of effects that some things will have on the other worlds if introduced. There are a few items that are allowed. Popular on our world is musical instruments.

Many a house and not to mention the neighborhood, have had to put up with a child or even an adult trying to learn a horn, violin or the dreaded drums. It is tolerated because some turn out to be very talented.

The current gods of all informed the Supreme that they would like to move on to the final life and the other four say the same, The Supreme tells them that it is okay and authorizes them to start making their choice of replacements.

The god of all both appear to us. Terry tells us that we are being chosen for the role of the god of all but I stopped him there.

“We have discussed this between ourselves and have decided that, honestly, we do not want it. It is a great honor but all our family and friends have gone to the final life. Being in the major role that we had on this world. The role of opening relations with the two other worlds. There is a multitude of other things that have totally worn us down.”

Regina now speaks. “You have a reason that you are asking us to take over. Isn’t it because you are tired? The weight of the office? We, as my mate has hinted at, are worn down. I cannot picture ourselves taking on more of the same but now for the universe. Frankly, we just want to lay that burden down and walk, hand in hand, to our reunion in the final life

The currents try to reason with them but now for the first time, all see the Supreme Creator appear.

“Is this not what you said was partially wrong with the failed gods? Yes, they were a family but their predecessors did the same. They just forced them rather that ask. I will grant them their wish. I will also grant yours. It will be the way of future retirements.”

He went on to say that he could sense that these did not want to ascend. I will know who has the pure intentions and aspirations to the positions. The system you set up is what was needed.

“With me doing the choosing, the current gods will not need to beg or bully candidates into accepting. Anthony and Regina, in a year’s time on your world, I will grant you the passage to the final life.

We do ask the Supreme creator to appoint someone as a sage for the world to help them in that final push they will need towards total peace.

They take the year to get things in order. They have made it known that the world will continue with guidance. The Supreme has a sage home that is scheduled to leave the world they are on. They will be transferred here.

We sent out a mental broadcast telling the world that there will be a fortress that will appear somewhere on our world. They are to be greeted as guests, not as enemies.

“They will be here to help our world towards that final peace. They will be friendly for those who are friendly. They do not want to rule but they have been advised that this is a world connected to the other two. We will notify the other two worlds.”

We open a door to Randan only to find that Rick and his wives have handed their roles over to their children. King Lyle has assumed the rule. They also have retired but still want to go on more adventures. They said they had more books to write.

It was the same with Brad and his wives. They also have retired. They now have grandchildren that they cherish.

Both worlds say that they will see us when it is there time to leave for the final life.

Regina is in deep thought, so I ask her, “Penny for your thought.”

“Do you ever regret that we have not had any children?” she softly asks.

“I have never questioned it. So no, I really do not regret it.”

She now is really down cast. I can read her. I know her.

“Supreme Creator, can we talk to you?” I pray out loud

He appears and he already knows what I want to ask. He sits and takes Regina’s hands in his. Now he talks to us.

“I am going to extend your stay in this life and not letting you into the final life, right now. You are going to live for another forty years. You will now have children. Regina, what’s the matter?”

She is crying her eyes out and now is in the arms of the Supreme.

“I always wanted children. A large family has been my dream but we never conceived. I always thought that I was defective.” She tapered off and stopped talking.

“It was Anthony. “ He looks at me and said that when I was bitten, it rendered me sterile. Still holding her, he tells her that I have been corrected. “How many children do you want?”

She tells him five with many grandchildren.

“It is done.” And he is gone.

I look at her and she cannot comprehend what just happened.

“I’m sorry” I say to Regina, “I never knew. We should have had this discussion. My dumb ass never thought about you. I’m so sorry.”

She grabs me and we go to our room.

Around two months later, she is sick but only in the morning. I, for one, would not trust anyone but the people on the original world. We crossed and I contacted Brad. I told him what we needed and in an instant, the wives of Brad poured out, shoved me aside and flashed her away.

Brad looks at me. “What happened to going to the final life?

I told him that Regina broke down about not having children. How I called the Supreme Creator and how he fixed my problem. “She dragged me to our room and here we are, two months later. I believe she is pregnant.”

Brad flashes to the room in his world and we wait.

I now start to think, then I ask him. “My world is now on it’s own. The mage fortress has shown up on my world. We are not needed anymore. As a matter of fact, if we stayed there, we could possibly undermine their position. I haven’t asked Regina but now, if she is pregnant, I don’t want her to give birth anywhere other than right here. I want your advice. I am reincarnated from a world like this. I know that your world is entirely changelings. We both need to be just people.

Would you have any objection to the both of us migrating to this world?”

“There is nothing I would like better but I need you to talk with your wife. Only know this, my wives are probably talking to her about just that. I really would not be surprised if Maribell doesn’t already have a few houses lined up to look at.”

Brad now looks very serious, “Anthony, with what you have done in your world, I would like you to join the corporation. Your knowledge of the innovations you accomplished, You will be a good fit into our future projects, future acquisitions. My adult children are now in charge but they always ask me if I know a person just like you. They want to get into research. You would fit in.”

“Let’s wait. I agree that I must talk with Regina.”

Now we hear the flash in the room. Teenagers pour out. Regina is now pregnant. “Anthony, I do not want to have any risk to this baby. We need to move here. We are not needed on our world.”

I turn to Brad, “I’ll take that position. My dear, we were just talking about just that. If you want, we will move here permanently. I have just accepted a job offer from Brad.”

Maribell comes out from her home office with her tablet. She sits next to Regina and shows her a few places. She looks at her husband and states to him that they are going out for a girl’s lunch.”

They leave us sitting there.

I just say that he called it. “How about you show me your corporation.”

Later that day, the women come back. We are invited to stay over at their mansion, which I am informed by my loving wife, she has accepted. She needs to buy some things.”

I really don’t think she is listening.
