2018 Journal Entry - As Julia's First Bound, I was able to see and140Please respect copyright.PENANATQOriQetIz
hear all that Julia experienced during her three-day false imprisonment. The140Please respect copyright.PENANASGBVEstmbn
following is what initially occurred after she was abducted.
----------
The abductor, another deity’s First Bound, started off with: "The first140Please respect copyright.PENANA8HjO3YC0cm
rule of 'Divinities Club' is that you don't persistently poach in a profound140Please respect copyright.PENANAnvJgwr4ovo
manner."
Julia said. "I'm not impressed by your alliteration, or by your140Please respect copyright.PENANAG31sPBvT26
alluding to a twenty-year old movie."
"You see Julia, I'm First Bound for another deity, so I don't take wolf140Please respect copyright.PENANAwZZ4L9gJyg
form like your personal followers. The other deities see you as an irritation140Please respect copyright.PENANAptiFBrKfHJ
now, but won't forever. You are losing possible allies."
"Deities?! You mean there's more than one behind this140Please respect copyright.PENANAKPqhhN7kpR
kidnapping?!"
"None of the others wanted a direct confrontation. We neutralized you140Please respect copyright.PENANAKhuXRG9fsn
with dander in your coffee."
"Fine. Why I am in a straight-jacket, sitting in a140Please respect copyright.PENANAtlYU23k1cy
wheelchair?!"
"To teach you a lesson. Plus, there's dander being pumped into this140Please respect copyright.PENANASrz91TJSHg
room to prevent an escape."
"Lesson learned. Stop poaching followers from other deities so140Please respect copyright.PENANAdGdEb6l36J
much."
"No, as I said earlier, 'There are always consequences.' There needs to140Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z69k3OpH0
be a punishment."
Julia replied, "Wasn't being checked into a psychiatric ward140Please respect copyright.PENANAShqFjnGEsc
punishment enough?"
"All the deities are taking several of your werewolf followers each,140Please respect copyright.PENANAgASoqkmGCu
converting them to their own human-animal hybrids."
"Understood."
"You honestly don't understand. "I know your First Bound would140Please respect copyright.PENANAVBCWwDxPrS
have tried telling you about our system."
"Let's say I haven't been paying close attention to everything he140Please respect copyright.PENANAqx1zgseeBb
says. Why don't you tell me?"
"Fine. When you poach followers from the others, you gain strength140Please respect copyright.PENANARk02HGrsKr
while they lose some."
"Yes, a zero-sum game," Julia said. "Your effin deity140Please respect copyright.PENANAhzTf9Te8GY
and the others are ganging up on the 'new girl.'"
"Did you ever wonder other ways deities might acquire power? You simply140Please respect copyright.PENANA8wqP7IwVOE
act like a cheat."
"That part I don't get. Everyone has to be poaching a bit. I've seen140Please respect copyright.PENANAGcwoviAW6L
one deity's ginormous birds transform -"
"Into your werewolves, correct. I know how the overall system works.140Please respect copyright.PENANAncg2JUZQX5
You need to learn it too."
"Let me go home then, okay? I'll ask my own First Bound all about140Please respect copyright.PENANAZKSbeyKOs5
it."
"No, Julia. You will be staying here in this psychiatric ward for three140Please respect copyright.PENANAwtGQNmVV8E
days of observation."
"Okay, how do I not be a cheater within this system?"
"You need to found your own religion among humans. They'll do140Please respect copyright.PENANATu0kxy7PUI
things."
This First Bound knelt, abasing himself.
"See, you just felt an increase in strength. Instead of poaching140Please respect copyright.PENANAQ12b20Tufq
followers, turn ordinary people into believers. Believers are not like140Please respect copyright.PENANA73jOA4VIED
followers that can shape shift, but believers can do actions such as kneeling,140Please respect copyright.PENANAWhTx8Ya5zV
which will increase your powers."
"I work 70-hour weeks. No time to convert bumpkins into140Please respect copyright.PENANAMAKT2imcYY
believers."
"Julia, as punishment you have to stay here for the weekend and140Please respect copyright.PENANAH6eF6U8zr4
consider what you've done."
