2018 Journal Entry - As Julia's First Bound, I was able to see and142Please respect copyright.PENANAKXWV9gPMq5
hear all that Julia experienced during her three-day false imprisonment. The142Please respect copyright.PENANAse7cuhNWV7
following is what initially occurred after she was abducted.
----------
The abductor, another deity’s First Bound, started off with: "The first142Please respect copyright.PENANAQJJQjBa4zp
rule of 'Divinities Club' is that you don't persistently poach in a profound142Please respect copyright.PENANAcwPRSbfGLv
manner."
Julia said. "I'm not impressed by your alliteration, or by your142Please respect copyright.PENANAmfV3No2GmQ
alluding to a twenty-year old movie."
"You see Julia, I'm First Bound for another deity, so I don't take wolf142Please respect copyright.PENANA5PLpYGLi2E
form like your personal followers. The other deities see you as an irritation142Please respect copyright.PENANAlqIFxQ7mKz
now, but won't forever. You are losing possible allies."
"Deities?! You mean there's more than one behind this142Please respect copyright.PENANAVwb35NkYJK
kidnapping?!"
"None of the others wanted a direct confrontation. We neutralized you142Please respect copyright.PENANA1dIv7taqF1
with dander in your coffee."
"Fine. Why I am in a straight-jacket, sitting in a142Please respect copyright.PENANAief5G9McE3
wheelchair?!"
"To teach you a lesson. Plus, there's dander being pumped into this142Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ7ngtljOd
room to prevent an escape."
"Lesson learned. Stop poaching followers from other deities so142Please respect copyright.PENANA7kayagQreT
much."
"No, as I said earlier, 'There are always consequences.' There needs to142Please respect copyright.PENANA64kzgY26Hr
be a punishment."
Julia replied, "Wasn't being checked into a psychiatric ward142Please respect copyright.PENANAvRp97n6DcE
punishment enough?"
"All the deities are taking several of your werewolf followers each,142Please respect copyright.PENANAoodweu7rYB
converting them to their own human-animal hybrids."
"Understood."
"You honestly don't understand. "I know your First Bound would142Please respect copyright.PENANAqPxatDmsKC
have tried telling you about our system."
"Let's say I haven't been paying close attention to everything he142Please respect copyright.PENANAxHPMykBmMH
says. Why don't you tell me?"
"Fine. When you poach followers from the others, you gain strength142Please respect copyright.PENANA0v9R3aJjSz
while they lose some."
"Yes, a zero-sum game," Julia said. "Your effin deity142Please respect copyright.PENANAAKftJLYsXv
and the others are ganging up on the 'new girl.'"
"Did you ever wonder other ways deities might acquire power? You simply142Please respect copyright.PENANAQVayAGss1A
act like a cheat."
"That part I don't get. Everyone has to be poaching a bit. I've seen142Please respect copyright.PENANAYWJAxSQH6K
one deity's ginormous birds transform -"
"Into your werewolves, correct. I know how the overall system works.142Please respect copyright.PENANAElmfPLHmxp
You need to learn it too."
"Let me go home then, okay? I'll ask my own First Bound all about142Please respect copyright.PENANAYPWwCb5sem
it."
"No, Julia. You will be staying here in this psychiatric ward for three142Please respect copyright.PENANAYIwqnzODJb
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 do142Please respect copyright.PENANA4sUJSDoCVm
things."
This First Bound knelt, abasing himself.
"See, you just felt an increase in strength. Instead of poaching142Please respect copyright.PENANAjl2sfDO3tJ
followers, turn ordinary people into believers. Believers are not like142Please respect copyright.PENANAKzU0GBuOk0
followers that can shape shift, but believers can do actions such as kneeling,142Please respect copyright.PENANADh6vH5Qszn
which will increase your powers."
"I work 70-hour weeks. No time to convert bumpkins into142Please respect copyright.PENANACf2OUJRUqX
believers."
"Julia, as punishment you have to stay here for the weekend and142Please respect copyright.PENANAw2M7YOmGSa
consider what you've done."
