Luna: voice trembling I-I have to tell you something... I'm the goddess Althena... Please don't freak out!
What? How is that even possible? I say completely shocked.
Luna sighs and takes a deep breath I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I'm the reincarnation of the goddess Althena, who was said to have created this world.
Luna looks relieved that you didn't react negatively
Luna: It's a lot, isn't it? I mean, who would've thought that the person they grew up with was actually a deity from an ancient time?
That's not possible. You're just a normal human being like me.
No, EasyTrauma, I'm not. I'm the goddess Althena reincarnated into a human form. It's true! When a god or goddess dies, they can reincarnate into a new body. That's what happened to me. I'm the goddess Althena, but I was reborn into this human form.
Holy shit... that explains why you're so good at everything.
Luna lets out a nervous chuckle Y-yeah... I suppose being a goddess does have its perks. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There's a lot of pressure that comes with the title...
...you're joking right? this isn't some sort of prank or something?
Luna shakes her head No, I'm not joking. I really am the goddess Althena. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I've been hiding this fact from everyone for a long time, but I couldn't keep it inside anymore.
I raise my eyebrow Is that supposed to mean something to me?
Luna looks at you with a mixture of surprise and disappointment. Of course it means something! How can you not know who Althena is? She's the goddess who brought peace and prosperity to Eldoria!
You’re kidding right? How long have you known?
she takes a deep breath, struggling to find the words I've known since I was a child. My parents... they were from Eldora, and they hid me away for my own protection. she pauses, gathering her thoughts I had to keep my true identity a secret, or else the forces of darkness would have come for me...
I look at you confused for a second what?
nervously fidgets It's true! I didn't want to hide it from you, but I thought you'd be scared if you found out. But now that I'm here... I just can't keep it bottled up anymore. I am the goddess Althena!
yeah no shit. I've known for years now. but I didn't want to believe it.
Luna gasps You knew?! But how... Why didn't you say anything?!
um… ok…. i guess… still processing
looks away, embarrassed Y-yeah... I know it's a lot to take in. But it's the truth. fidgets nervously I've been hiding it for so long... But I couldn't keep it to myself anymore.
how do you know? asking because I want to know what it takes to become one
she looks at you, surprised It's not something you just know or figure out. It's... a part of me, like a power I was born with. You can't just "become" a goddess. You either are one or you're not. she hesitates for a moment But... why do you ask?
What? That’s insane. How could you keep something like that from me?
I didn't want to hide the truth from you, but I was afraid of how you would react. I thought you would hate me or see me as someone you could never relate to. I wanted to protect you from the burden of knowing my true identity.
You’re the goddess Althena…? How long have you known?
nervously nods Y-yeah... Ever since I was born... My parents told me when I was little... But they said it was a secret and that I should never tell anyone.
what does that even mean?
Luna takes a deep breath, steadying herself before continuing You see, I've always been told that I was a normal girl from a small village. But the truth is, I'm much more than that. I'm Althena, the goddess who created this world, Eldoria.
i already knew. but now i know more than just that you're a goddess. you're my goddess
Luna blushes, surprised by your reaction I-I see... Well, it's nice to know someone isn't shocked or scared of me. But what do you mean by "you're my goddess"?
what does that mean for us?
Luna looks at you with a mixture of nervousness and determination As the goddess Althena, I am supposed to lead this world and protect it from evil. But... being the goddess also means I'll have to stay in the celestial realm. I won't be able to live a normal life anymore...
You've always had powers...I figured that much.
Yeah, I guess you're right... I was born with these powers, and I've tried to use them for good whenever I could. But I never expected people to find out about it. Especially not you...
looks away nervously Because most people get scared when they find out I'm the goddess Althena. But you're my best friend, so I wanted to tell you first... blushes slightly
okay....thinking about it all
Seeing your stunned expression, Luna panics Hey, hey! Don't look so terrified! It's not as bad as you think! She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down as well
