Reborn

By Aaradhya Upadhyay

I was walking home from QuickPick with my groceries. I walked past SweetHub Bakery, Dickson & Maddie salon, and was just at the last turn when a man comes by. I didn't pay much attention to him, until he suddenly starts to address me with a god's name. "Nyx! Nyx! You have to believe me! I'm Cupid, and you're Nyx!" "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?" I say. He's like, " Nyx! Our realm is in danger! We all are reborn as mortals! What's more, our names are just our actual ones jumbled up. I'm Cudip." Oh. Makes sense. No wonder I'm Ynx. Like seriously, what!? I agreed to help him out, and our adventure began. "So, how do we find the others?" I asked. "We will first find Hera. I think she'll be Rhea." "So, where is she? Is she a doctor, or maybe an actress?" I ask. "There are two famous Rheas. One is a doctor, and the other…..an actress? There is luck, though. All of us shine with a divine aura which only we two can detect." So was the beginning of our adventures.

First, we visited the doctor. She was a young woman in her twenties. She greeted us. We pretended that Cudip had a stomach ache, and I was his companion. After the appointment was over, Cudip said to me, "This is not Hera. She has an aura, but it is not the same." So we now pretended we were fans and came to get an autograph. But as soon as Cudip saw her,-

Cudip: Hera!

Rhea: What?

Cudip: Come with me!

Rhea: What do you mean?

Cudip: Our realm is in danger! We are all reborn as mortals! What's more, our names are just our actual ones jumbled up. I'm Cudip.

Rhea: Huh? WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT!?

Cudip: Hera! The heavenly realm!

Rhea: Fine. What now?

Cudip: We must find the others. This is Nyx, I'm Cupid, and you're Hera!

Me: Let's go!

So we now went to find Persephone. Persephone, we presumed, was Seprephone, a gardener. She was trimming a rose bush when we arrived. Again-:

Cudip: Persephone!

Seprephone: What?

Cudip: Come, Persephone! Help us out!

Seprephone: Huh?

Cudip: Just come along.

So after finding all the gods and their consorts, Cudip gathered in a meeting and explained everything. We had to make those mortals worship us, so we could retransform and regain our power. But, here's the thing: the started to worship AI and tech instead! This made us lose power. This in itself was an obstacle.

The End
