Devi smiles warmly, then suddenly, a comfortable bed appears beneath her. “Much better.” She says softly, letting Blue snuggle into Chantelle. “Just call for me and I’ll be here.” She smiles at Grace, then walks out.
(time skip eeeee)
Grace woke up on a comfortable bed. A bed? Hadn't she fallen asleep on the floor? She looked up and saw Chantelle still fast asleep. Grace wanted to explore, but she also didn't want to leave Chantelle alone. Then she saw Blue. The bird glanced at her and chirped quietly. Somehow, she could understand it. Go on, I'll come get you if she starts to wake up. So Grace got up and quietly slipped out the door.

The halls were so quiet and peaceful. The sound of soft flowing water echoed through the glass palace. The place was beautiful. Plants everywhere. There were even a few animals here and there. Sleeping or just roaming around, enjoying their new life.
Devi was down in the garden like space, petting a dog that was laying in her lap as she read a book adorned in gold and silver with leather casing. She looked so graceful and at peace. After a moment, she looks up at Grace and smiles. “Good morning.” She says softly. “Would you like some food? You don’t necessarily need it…nor sleep…but it’s nice to keep some humanity and enjoy luxury.”
"I would love some food, thank you."
group
Devi smiles and nods, motioning for her to walk down the glass stairs to the garden like jungle. She then waves her hand and a tray of her favorite food appears on a cute little white blanket.
"Your powers are, amazing. How did you come to be a goddess? Where you always one or did you gain your powers through something?"
group
Devi chuckles softly. “I used to be human many many years ago. But I had a pure soul that Gia loved. And when I died, I was gifted these powers.”
“That’s incredible.”
group
Devi laughs softly and nods. “It is. I’m very grateful for this gift…”
"What else can you do?"
group
Devi smiles, then smothers her hand over the grass, making beautiful flowers appear in its wake.
Grace looks at the flowers and smiles softly. "That's amazing."
group
Devi nods, then looks over to her. “Soon…we’ll do something for that soul of you.”
"What?" Grace asks.
group
She smiles. “Well…there’s a ritual we do where you decide if you want to heal all that pain from your life. Then once you do…you can either let the life you knew go and live in eternal bliss, or…you can keep that wisdom. You wont be in pain…you’ll just…remember.” She smiles even brighter.
"That sounds amazing." Grace smiled.
group
Devi nods, smiling. “You can think about it until you’re ready. Your child has already been cleansed.”
"She has? Did she forget everything? Or remember?"
group
She smiles. “She probably has some memory. It was just up to her. She of course will remember you if she chose to not remember anything.”
"Oh, okay. I did notice that she seemed happier."
group
Devi chuckles and nods. “She’s such a sweet little soul. So pure.” She gently places her hand on Grace’s hand. “You did a good job.”
Grace smiles, tears in her eyes. "I did?"
group
Devi nods. “She’s still so happy…you worked so hard. You should be proud.”
"I'm glad she's happy. That's all I ever wanted."
group
Devi smiles warmly, nodding. “Now it’s your turn to heal.”
"I don't know how I could ever be healed."
group
Devi hums softly. “I know…it can be difficult. The healing process takes time…but soon…you’ll feel so free.”
"I don't deserve to be healed. The things I've done."
group
Devi gently takes Grace’s chin and looks her in the eyes. “You do deserve healing. If you didn’t…you wouldn’t have been sent straight to me with your baby.”
Grace sighs and looks down.
