Chapter 9: Eternia
Chapter 9: EterniaGrace hadn't meant to fall asleep. She definitely hadn't expected angels to need sleep at all. And yet here she was, definitely dreaming, surrounded by clouds that looked suspiciously solid and a tea table that absolutely hadn't been there a moment ago.
And there sat that woman again.
Once again, she looked exactly like Grace... if Grace had been drawn by an artist with a very specific appreciation for the female form. Same white hair, but flowing like silk. Same golden eyes, but knowing and seductive. Same face, but more mature and confident.
And, well... definitely, absolutely, a much more generous figure that made Grace want to demand a refund from whatever divine being had handled her own physique.
"Enjoying the view?" the woman asked, her voice rich with amusement as she sipped her tea.
Grace's face burned.
"I wasn't... I mean..." She coughed. "I was just noting the... differences."
"Mhm." The woman gestured to the empty chair. "Sit. Tell me about your day."
Grace sat, trying very hard not to stare at how the woman's robes seemed to be fighting a losing battle with gravity.
[What, just like that?] Grace thought, hands on her thighs. [Just start talking about my day? Just like that?]
It took a moment, but Grace began.
"It's been..." Grace
Eternia nodded.
"You will be the light humanity has been waiting for. Soon, of course," Eternia took a step back. "For now, just focus on getting acquainted with your new home. And, remember," she put her hands on Grace's cheeks. "If at any point you start doubting yourself, just keep in mind... You are, rather literally, made for this."
