Chapter 5 – Godlike vs God-made

The portal takes Esther and Joanna to space with dozens upon dozens of planets.

Esther takes a look at them and says, “All of these planets are the different dimensions. We’re in the place in-between them.”

“Well it’s a great place to hide this being, but we shouldn’t waste any time…”

Joanna turns around to see the being that contains over a million souls. Its blond hair is like a crown. The clothes its wearing is degenerate and see-through. It has a light blue diamond for a left eye and a yellow right eye with a black line as its iris. Its choker is orange, yellow, and red with a blue diamond in the center. The being is bigger than the planets and blots out the view of the rest of the universe. Even though they are small, the being can still see them. It smiles as its child has finally found them, but a group of people lead by a king approaches the being.

The king says, “Adina! Bow down to me, be the bearer of my child, and you shall gain the kingdoms of the world!”

His voice echoes throughout the universe. Unimpressed with the king, a light shoots out from Adina’s diamond eye and sends the king and his kingdom through a portal and into Hell. Esther and Joanna are speechless because of Adina’s power.

With that out of the way, Adina says, “We have been waiting for you, Eva. Our child and the second Eve.”

“My name isn’t Eva! It’s Joanna.”

“We care not what name you were given by others. Now that you are here, you can finally fulfill your destiny. You will give us the power to rule over demons and angels that you contain in your soul.”

“That’s not what I have! I’m not here to help you.”

“Then we will absorb you and take your power from you.”

Adina grabs Joanna and tries to put her into her chest. Esther tries to break Joanna free from Adina’s grip but cannot. Joanna touches the chest of Adina and sets it on fire with her power. This causes Adina pain, but she doesn’t let go, so Joanna sets herself on fire, which makes Adina let her go.

“You will not defeat us! Our power is nearly unlimited! We will be the foundation of a new reality we will create!” Adina says as she bears the pain and tries to absorb Joanna again.

“The work of each builder will become visible, for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done,” Joanna says as she burns Adina.

The dimensions around them catch fire as well. Esther watches as everything catches fire and burns like a fire on par with a hundred suns. Adina manages to put Joanna in herself, but her body begins to burn from the inside as Adina cannot control Joanna’s fire. Adina’s body breaks apart from the fire and when it explodes, the souls trapped in it are freed and disappear. The dimensions around Esther and Joanna burn out one by one.

“What do you think is going to happen to everyone?”

“If they are burned up, the builder will suffer loss, but they will be saved, but only as through fire,” Joanna says as she feels at peace because she feels like she accomplished the goal she was meant to.

“Okay, stop quoting scripture.”

“What happens now?”

“I honestly don’t know. Maybe I can truly live my life now.”

“Will I see you again?”

“Probably not because you have no idea what place is called what in reality nor will you speak the same language, but there’s always Heaven.”

Joanna smiles then says, “Okay. I’ll see you there.”

One hole in the dimension opens for each of them and teleports them back to reality. Joanna appears in a forest with her purple dress and appears the same as she was before she entered the space dimension. She wonders if she still has her powers, so she puts her hands out, but nothing catches on fire. Despite losing this great power, she’s happy. She walks through the forest and finds herself on a road with a crashed carriage. The carriage driver and horses are fine, but their supplies and food are all over the ground.

Joanna helps them out then asks, “Do you mind if you take me in? I’m homeless and I have nowhere to go.”

“You have a pretty fine dress for being homeless, but why not. We need all the help we can get,” the carriage driver says.

Once everything is put back on the carriage, Joanna travels with the carriage driver to her destination.

“Where are you from? Your hairstyle is pretty. Are you foreign?” the carriage driver asks.

Joanna mentions the place where she was from in the fake reality.

“I’ve never heard of that place.”

“It’s pretty far from here.”

“What are you doing all the way out here then?”

“I’m looking to do some good in the world. Do you know any place around here?”

“Well, the place we’re going to serves the needy and spiritually ill. It’s not a rich living nor is it easy, but you will be helping people.”

“Uh, yeah. It’s perfect for me.”

By the end of Joanna’s journey, the dimensions fizzle out and she finds herself a good life. Even though she prefers a nobler style of living, she’s at peace with her new life helping others. Something that few people rarely treasure.
