2018 Journal Entry - As Julia's First Bound, I was able to see and209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkI5iUdQtV
hear all that Julia experienced during her three-day false imprisonment. The209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PbnyoIXu
following is what initially occurred after she was abducted.
----------
The abductor, another deity’s First Bound, started off with: "The first209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPG3CXf4VY
rule of 'Divinities Club' is that you don't persistently poach in a profound209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJGEwZKuf0
manner."
Julia said. "I'm not impressed by your alliteration, or by your209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND86yOLSmJ
alluding to a twenty-year old movie."
"You see Julia, I'm First Bound for another deity, so I don't take wolf209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvEjkr5nx
form like your personal followers. The other deities see you as an irritation209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV3cgDCV9g
now, but won't forever. You are losing possible allies."
"Deities?! You mean there's more than one behind this209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpDCLnrAOB
kidnapping?!"
"None of the others wanted a direct confrontation. We neutralized you209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuXy7MfVF8
with dander in your coffee."
"Fine. Why I am in a straight-jacket, sitting in a209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRdIEK6Qcf
wheelchair?!"
"To teach you a lesson. Plus, there's dander being pumped into this209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBT6zAG1NV
room to prevent an escape."
"Lesson learned. Stop poaching followers from other deities so209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBmXc4tQXO
much."
"No, as I said earlier, 'There are always consequences.' There needs to209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q8GsS29PW
be a punishment."
Julia replied, "Wasn't being checked into a psychiatric ward209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxQAHMWBwk
punishment enough?"
"All the deities are taking several of your werewolf followers each,209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJULI1ecGP
converting them to their own human-animal hybrids."
"Understood."
"You honestly don't understand. "I know your First Bound would209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRDKnBh0wg
have tried telling you about our system."
"Let's say I haven't been paying close attention to everything he209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ7d3N9w5n
says. Why don't you tell me?"
"Fine. When you poach followers from the others, you gain strength209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR9cLrBrBb
while they lose some."
"Yes, a zero-sum game," Julia said. "Your effin deity209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yff0MkuCC
and the others are ganging up on the 'new girl.'"
"Did you ever wonder other ways deities might acquire power? You simply209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ij2CkwAoK
act like a cheat."
"That part I don't get. Everyone has to be poaching a bit. I've seen209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG3QiqPDLW
one deity's ginormous birds transform -"
"Into your werewolves, correct. I know how the overall system works.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyf4X2htQE
You need to learn it too."
"Let me go home then, okay? I'll ask my own First Bound all about209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPzzD1EE2Q
it."
"No, Julia. You will be staying here in this psychiatric ward for three209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXOOAutAsM
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 do209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ea10BvblN
things."
This First Bound knelt, abasing himself.
"See, you just felt an increase in strength. Instead of poaching209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgaFaN8eR9
followers, turn ordinary people into believers. Believers are not like209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXx1FqVD3t
followers that can shape shift, but believers can do actions such as kneeling,209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6GIzlQNRy
which will increase your powers."
"I work 70-hour weeks. No time to convert bumpkins into209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqsXs64Q8
believers."
"Julia, as punishment you have to stay here for the weekend and209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjlO2FWGO
consider what you've done."
