2018 Journal Entry - As Julia's First Bound, I was able to see and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX3q8zQbQs
hear all that Julia experienced during her three-day false imprisonment. The208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr7vmqsbZv
following is what initially occurred after she was abducted.
----------
The abductor, another deity’s First Bound, started off with: "The first208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaRIRvg0kw
rule of 'Divinities Club' is that you don't persistently poach in a profound208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDFln1kmGl
manner."
Julia said. "I'm not impressed by your alliteration, or by your208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywup3Lfxp1
alluding to a twenty-year old movie."
"You see Julia, I'm First Bound for another deity, so I don't take wolf208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqulmwmfm1
form like your personal followers. The other deities see you as an irritation208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7QRMRDpGO
now, but won't forever. You are losing possible allies."
"Deities?! You mean there's more than one behind this208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoavSKI9jL
kidnapping?!"
"None of the others wanted a direct confrontation. We neutralized you208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5xE9eCDKj
with dander in your coffee."
"Fine. Why I am in a straight-jacket, sitting in a208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccTV3SAuSi
wheelchair?!"
"To teach you a lesson. Plus, there's dander being pumped into this208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM67UqMAAY
room to prevent an escape."
"Lesson learned. Stop poaching followers from other deities so208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6MCT21Ui
much."
"No, as I said earlier, 'There are always consequences.' There needs to208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SnU2m38sA
be a punishment."
Julia replied, "Wasn't being checked into a psychiatric ward208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnxYmo4utn
punishment enough?"
"All the deities are taking several of your werewolf followers each,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BbcHBzPmk
converting them to their own human-animal hybrids."
"Understood."
"You honestly don't understand. "I know your First Bound would208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMScqqfWqY
have tried telling you about our system."
"Let's say I haven't been paying close attention to everything he208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZSHcRWds
says. Why don't you tell me?"
"Fine. When you poach followers from the others, you gain strength208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32PO27jZc7
while they lose some."
"Yes, a zero-sum game," Julia said. "Your effin deity208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo0qZIteuJ
and the others are ganging up on the 'new girl.'"
"Did you ever wonder other ways deities might acquire power? You simply208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbUZJWIAQT
act like a cheat."
"That part I don't get. Everyone has to be poaching a bit. I've seen208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkApCHpWkFi
one deity's ginormous birds transform -"
"Into your werewolves, correct. I know how the overall system works.208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CiqdvcJV5
You need to learn it too."
"Let me go home then, okay? I'll ask my own First Bound all about208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHUZnDOsTn
it."
"No, Julia. You will be staying here in this psychiatric ward for three208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8FzOVRlzf
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 do208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8mTHhgPb9
things."
This First Bound knelt, abasing himself.
"See, you just felt an increase in strength. Instead of poaching208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OIfCZ7PlX
followers, turn ordinary people into believers. Believers are not like208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHcMH62WXA
followers that can shape shift, but believers can do actions such as kneeling,208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Ha0QNBKs
which will increase your powers."
"I work 70-hour weeks. No time to convert bumpkins into208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjfmcHBLx6
believers."
"Julia, as punishment you have to stay here for the weekend and208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQDAPWmoZZ
consider what you've done."
