Ch 8: Gods can kill without moving.
"Why is this happening to me?" Rey said, scratching his head furiously.
He gave Aiden no chance to respond, glaring at him as if he could kill with his stare alone—hundreds, no, thousands of times over.
"You maniac, what have you done to my ordinary life? And put that aside for a moment; because of you, our whole world is in danger. Do you not have a brain to understand, or are you completely brainless?" he yelled at full volume. But before he could go on, the door to his room was abruptly forced open, and his sister walked in.
"Brother, why are you yelling so much? And wait, why are you in your normal clothes? Didn't you have school today?" Emmy asked, looking at him puzzled.
Rey first glanced at her, then at Aiden, and pointed at him. "Can't you see that old man floating right in front of you? He broke into our house, spouting some nonsense, and now he's asking me to rule the world, and you're questioning why I'm shouting?" Rey exclaimed, still pointing at Aiden, who was now laughing and rolling on the floor.
Emmy looked where Rey was pointing but saw nothing, which confused her, and she ran out of the room.
"Mom, it looks like brother has gone crazy; he's saying there's someone in his room, but there's nobody there," she told her mother, who was busy in the kitchen. Upon hearing this, Jasmine sighed softly, patted Emmy's head, and went to Rey's room, where she found him talking to the bed as Aiden lay on it, laughing at him.
"Rey, what happened? Who are you talking to?" she asked, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Mom, tell me you can see him lying on the bed, making fun of me," he implored, pointing to a spot on the bed.
"What? Gods? And you think I can fight them? They could kill me without even lifting a finger," Rey said, his face etched with fear.
"Yes, gods can kill without moving, but I believe you could fight them after some time, once you've grown stronger," Aiden responded.
"And can you tell me how much time, huh?" Rey asked, annoyance evident on his face.
"Well, maybe..." Aiden began, but he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
"Son, aren't you getting late? Come outside quickly," Jasmin called from outside.
"Okay, Mom, I'm coming. And you, Aiden, wait for me at home. If you're coming with me, don't get in my way, please. I'm already late," Aiden said, first addressing his mother and then whispering to Aiden before leaving the bathroom to head to school.
