Become as gods

You open your eyes to see Maya looking at you with concern, which quickly fades as your eyes focus on her. She smiles. “There you are. You blacked out for a second.”

You look around, seeing all the girls looking at you. “Only a second? What did I miss?”

Anna hugs you, smiling. “Nothing much, master. Bast seemed to turn into a glowing fog, and flow into you. And you passed out. Do you feel different?”

You shake your head. “No, but I can feel knowledge slowly seeping in, like a slow release.”

Yura speaks quietly. “That is how it works. Your power grows slowly, to not overwhelm your mind.”

Everyone looks at the little selkie, who blushes slightly. “I am the goddess of knowledge now, remember? I…know things when I need to.”

Samara sighs. “That’s great for you, but apparently I’m the goddess of death and darkness? That seems grim!”

Rachel smiles at her. “It doesn’t have to be. Like he said, death can be a blessing, and not something to fear. Besides, now you and Kali can have a little sibling rivalry.”

A sly smile spreads on Samara’s face. “I suppose it’ll spice things up between us in some ways.”

Lynn giggles. “I think you two are plenty spicy already!”

As everyone chatters, you stand up, Maya moving with you. “Regardless, I think that we should celebrate. After all, it’s not every day that an entire family ascends to godhood!”

Maya giggles and nudges you.
