In Chicago's city there was order unlike the rest of the top half of the country. But that was only because of the bright light religion taking control of Chicago. But their next goal was Michigan and the Great lakes.
Deep in the city of Chicago standing tall was a church completely white in color. Quite majestic decor and a large white gemstone emblem as their insignia at the entrance. Inside this church several stories underground two people were talking one a tall bulky man with Snow White hair and gold and white armor. This was light the Almighty the leader of the bright light religion. Across from him was a petite woman in a white robe with a panicked look on her face "sir it's urgent " she finally said. "What is it Sasha there is much to do before the expansion" he replied. After staying silent for a moment she finally spoke" sir The scouting group we sent out to establish a presence in the metro area of Michigan have all died we lost connection with them and that is all we know. Except we know where they were supposed to be what do you want to do"
"What!" He screamed "send a group out now to find out exactly what happened and make sure a light priest goes with them". She immediately ran out the room yelling "yes sir" she was thankful she was still alive. Sasha was strong but she knew he was stronger and she had to do everything he said but deep down she hated him she hoped whoever had defeated the others would defeat him to. In this religion there were a few ranks they were basic members above them were true believers above them or team leaders above them are priests (witch Sasha was or a priestess)above them were light priests above them directly under the Almighty are bright acolytes currently they're only three.
Sasha used the light ability like 90% of the others in the bright light religion. The almighty had found out people without abilities can learn any ability to an extent. Most of the world does not know this. Her ability was at the level of six. But like few in the religion she had a special ability that is innate to her she doesn't fully understand it. The religion knows about many things the rest of the world has yet to learn.
When Sasha reached the upper levels she went straight to the cafeteria running up to a short stocky man in a white robe with silver stripes wrapping around it. You couldn't see anything but his eyes and part of his cheeks with all the hair he had on his face. " Hey Sasha what a pleasant surprise what's the rush are you finally going to let me take you on a date" after speaking he winked. After catching her breath she said"No no never paul. the almighty has an assignment for you you need to take a full squadron and inquire about what happened to the six followers we lost. they disappeared in the metro area of Michigan you must not fail you could lose your life" he briefly laughed and said are you worried about me don't worry I got this"his hands began to Glow as did his feet and he started to lift in the air she quickly said "all the information you need to know is in the transport van" he blew a kiss and then flew right out the window. Sasha smacked her forehead. "He is such a creep"
Sasha had a pit in her stomach and she felt like this was just a bad idea that they should just leave it alone. But she didn't dare go to the almighty with this. She did not value her life so little. Sasha grew up rough even before falling powers she suffered every day. This was slightly better at least she was only treated badly when he was mad but she knew he was not a good person everybody else was fooled. She considered running away but new she could never hide from them they were spread out across the country they even had some spies in the bottom half. The almighty was slowly strangling the world.
After returning home to her slightly fancy apartment the almighty gave her. she quickly went to check on her sick mother and give her her medication. Her mother had gotten sick after falling powers it's unexplained she just won't wake up. Even ability healers cannot wake her. Sasha believes it's a curse. She is determined to find a cure but she must stay safe first. After all her mother would die if she was not around to take care of her. For now she will continue as the almighty's right hand until she has an opportunity to run.
After breaking down at her mother's side for hours she finally had enough and took herself to bed as she laid there she wondered what would happen to Paul and his squad. But soon she drifted off to sleep but she seemed to have a nightmare.
Darkness all around but wait there's something over there. Sasha's mother floating in the air purple lightning all around her Sasha screamed" no Mom!" She ran with all of her strength but her mother just seemed to keep getting farther and farther away. "No what did I do to deserve this I thought I" smash. Only looking at her mother in the sky she wasn't paying attention and ran into something. As she picked herself up she noticed it was a giant egg. she no longer saw her mother and had no clue which direction she went. She was so angry she went to punch the Giant egg but before she could hit it it started cracking all over and shattered stepping out was a man in ripped pants with no shirt. purple eyes and hair with purple electricity flashing all around him. He was reaching out towards her but then everything started to shatter the darkness the man even her and she heard in her head her mother's voice "this man could save you or could destroy you just like the world"
