Lession, part one

Not to say that I would often visit this area of ​​Springfield, but if my memory serves me right, I have already been to this cafe. And it was different: a spitting and fly-infested garbage dump, and not a clean and bright establishment straight from the sixties.

Yes, and the waitresses then were bitches dried up from their own bile, that way, much over forty, and not young, smiling girls who met us as dear guests.

My counterpart caught my mood (or maybe just read my mind) and smiled fervently:

"I don't often intervene directly in the affairs of mortals, but if I do, I always try to make the world a better place. But again, I admire your fortitude. You seem to adapt to my power. You slip out from under it. It is intriguing and. ..attracts" - she ran her fingers along my forearm - "I have not yet fully decided how this meeting of ours will end, although definitely something good for you. It's only a question of degree." The coquette smiled mischievously.

"So you're a goddess. Or something like that, right?" - I decided to push her to the point, running, along the way, my nose into a cup of cappuccino, which had already been placed in front of me.

"But on the" type of that "- I can be offended!" - my companion snorted (albeit completely without malice) "Okay, hurry. Yes, I'm a goddess. And this is only the first of the discoveries that you will have to learn on the path of my paladin. Notice, I'm not asking if you will agree to become one. I'm in this I’m just sure, because I’ve read your brave and valiant heart for a long time. There are many things besides the above, of course ... But we won’t discuss this for now. So, we, that is, gods, exist. We did not create this world whatever the priests tell you. The funny thing is that you, the people, created us. That is, at first the Creator created the Universe. More precisely, he launched its creation - you call it the Big Bang. In what you call the "Singularity", he initially laid laws and rules that, billions of years later, shaped your galaxies, solar systems, your planet, and led to the evolution of you. That is, your scientists are right - you are the descendants of a monkey. But only because He wanted to. Surprised?"

I took a long sip of the delicious cappuccino. No, I was surprised, of course. But he didn't want to show it. In addition, my faith acted as a fuse, which allowed me to proceed from the fact that my counterpart was not a goddess, but ... Well, for example, a sorceress. The funny thing is that subconsciously I already felt that she was telling me the truth. But - "Russian stubbornness", I already mentioned it, right?

"Well, let's say you're telling the truth. And how did we create you?" - Honestly. listening to her, I could not stop admiring her. I think it makes no sense to say that this "little devil" understood what impression she had on me and shamelessly posed.

"Don't pretend that you don't care - you're not doing well. However, it's up to you - listen further, my knight: the Creator justified the Laws of the World - on the shoulders of the Ancients. I don't like to talk about them once again - very scary and frightening things even for Gods. Nevertheless, it is necessary to mention: these guys are the embodiment of cosmic forces. Gravity, Weak Interaction ... And much more, from what you know and from what has not yet been revealed. Now you are staring at me and already you think how to drag me into bed, right? Don’t blush - it’s normal and it’s very flattering to me, I don’t understand stupid feminists who refuse to enjoy the high of awareness of their beauty and sex appeal "- the beauty stretched languidly, exposing, for a split second, the nipple and charming roundness of his left chest - "in fact, all of us, the gods, are close to you to one degree or another. I, perhaps, am the most humane, but I will not brag. But the Ancients ... The Ancients are alien to you and to us. They are part of this World, this Universe... But, even for this Universe they are completely alien. Be afraid of confronting them. Your souls... This is probably the most attractive food for Them. Although, I'm not even sure that they .. eat you. Only one Ancient - is always nearby. Varda. Giver of Life and Reaper of Souls.

And here begins the story of our relationship with you, miserable little people! Mu-ha-ha-ha!" - the charmer so provocatively portrayed the laughter of the "evil genius" that I could not stand it and burst out laughing myself.

"No, well, you think! Laughs! And if I'm really an evil creature, just wanting to subdue you, and now I'm attacked by an attack of frankness, next to such a charming and courageous and sexy hero?" - she again could not stand it and snorted with her ringing laugh.

“As for the hero, I won’t argue. In our country, however, this is usually combined with mild bouts of stupidity . So we say “stupidity and courage.” I climbed four bandits, realizing that at least one of them had a gun. "Charming" - well, without this, I would have been a virgin even at 25. But with the latter I have some problems. Sexuality is about the handsome men from the cover. And I am an ordinary Russian guy whom fate brought to America .
