When Cynthia's warm aura seeped into Lucas it did more than put his mind at ease. The warm aura made no demand whatsoever at being revered and worshiped but Lucas felt that he should worship Cynthia. It was as if the warm aura was an extension of Cynthia's godly power and that power was overwhelming to behold...like it needed to be revered but it also made no such demand.
Lucas just stared up at Cynthia and didn't see her as she appeared to be; Cynthia was bathed in a bright light that shined on her alone and she seemed tall without measure....as if she were thousands and thousands of feet tall. Perhaps it was the warm aura itself that had altered Lucas's perception of Cynthia. It didn't matter much to Lucas what caused his perception to alter when he was looking at Cynthia. Lucas's knees started to buckle and, after a moment, he fell to his knees and prostrated before Cynthia.
Cynthia was going to protest that her friend didn't need to bow before her when she felt something enter her body. It was as if she was being fed food without eating. As if she was gaining something by Lucas's act. It was hard to put into words. She felt stronger somehow. Not that she didn't feel strong already with her new-found omnipotence but she felt somehow stronger now that Lucas was now bowing down to her. 'Well' she thought. 'maybe gods feed on worship the same way that mortals need to feed on food and water.....but I didn't tell him that he should worship me...I didn't mess with his free will.....did I?' No. Of course she didn't. It was his decision.
"I can be anything you wish me to be" said Lucas, snapping Cynthia out of her inner thoughts. "I can be your priest or your prophet....all I want is to serve you my goddess. I am but your humble servant. I will follow you until my dying breath, until kingdom come, until the end of time of you should so wish it. I only live to serve you, I only live to please you, I only live to worship you. I will follow your every order without question. I would sacrifice myself to you if you but ask. I--"
"Enough" said Cynthia in a very quiet voice. "you don't have to swear your allegiance to me. You're my friend, Lucas. I would never ask for you to sacrifice yourself to me. Would you even look at me when I'm talking to you?"
"It's a sin to look upon such beauty" said Lucas.
"Let me decide what's a sin and what's not" said Cynthia.
Lucas looked up at Cynthia but didn't meet her gaze.
"I'm very flattered that you feel the need to worship me" said Cynthia. "but you don't have to"
"I...I feel that I need to" said Lucas. "It's hard to explain but once you picked me up I felt the need to swear my devotion to you"
"I see" said Cynthia and sighed. "well, I'm on my way to Celestic Town"
"I would feel honored to accompany you, My Lady" said Lucas.
"Alright" said Cynthia. "I don't see why you shouldn't come with me"
