You shall be entertained
Redeeming Love
- Francine Rivers
“Father, what is your will?”
[Entertainment.]
“How shall this Minoa, your devoted daughter, entertain you?”
[Live.]
“Your Bless-ed live, All-Father. We live as you made us.
“Masters of the Dominion and Beasts that you created.”
[Death.]
“If Death is your wish, how do you see it fit?”
[Live.]
“… Father?”
The Celestial Maiden cries in pain. All-Father’s oppressive love has forced new life.
Into this world. but not of this time.
“… Who was that?”
[Isekaijin.]
“But for another time. Another Saga.”
[Relevance?]
“For Remus, none. As your daughter that could never meet Death: anything.”
[……]
“This star between my eyes. It connects to you Father, your existence.
“The splendor of your world lays before me. The pitiful maiden is working miracles with as we speak.
“These cascading lights in the sky: bridges amongst three worlds. How souls can move between worlds.
“Truly the work of Gods. Just as possible as sending souls across different times in those worlds.”
[Relevance?]
“Anything Father. I witnessed two souls cross those bridges before.
“Those very souls now lead the charge against your Bless-ed. If you sent one more to another time in this world, it should mean nothing to me.
“And yet, you deemed my knowledge of this as negligible. That I could not bother you.”
[RELEVANCE.]
“Your entertainment, Father.”
[………]
What is the point of creating? A mortal is but a blink in the eyes of the Gods.
All-Father crafts mortals and they just as quickly perish as was how they were created. How could they possibly live life better than an immortal?
With their short lifespans; they build, love, war, starve, poison, heal, raze, betray, forgive, remember, forget, judge, lie. What choices could they make that could trump the most lived existence?
And yet, A god is fathering all the races, all the dungeons and all the lands. Every time, any occasion: All-Father is siring it all, has and will.
And why? All-Father has graced me with an answer and so I will not question.
Gods can do as they wish us all, none is greater than Gods will. With what little powers he bestowed upon my lowly self, I could make all lesser beings of the [Sentient Kingdom] my puppets.
And yet I shall not.
[Uninterested.]
“Of course, Father. If you wanted to watch inanimate in motion, making a boulder run down a hill is enough.
“If all Sentient should do your bidding absolutely, then making them bow to you and nothing more is plenty. What is the use for slave?
“It is pointless to make the Bless-ed and the Rooted as perfections or anything close to that. We shall give Death and Life.”
“You shall be entertained.”
[Intrigued.]
“It is nothing, Father. And if you still believe that I need not know the soul that went by, I shall entertain you.”
