Chapter 8: chapter 8



"Alphabet soup, so yummy and bright

Letters and noodles, a tasty delight

In this world of words, I can play and create

Make sentences and stories, oh what a treat! Oh, the joy of language, free to explore

I'll weave a world anew

In this bowl of soup, my imagination grows

And with each letter, stories begin to flow!Milo, dear Milo, when you bring the broth

I'll make the words dance in its glow!

And in this soup, the future will take shape

A realm of tales, born from the letters' fate" verbilixa sings as she sits at the table idly drawing as she sings about alphabet soup.

"Verbilixa. Is there a reason I'm still here?" Milo ask her his tone blunt as he was getting tired of the song his eye starting to twitch

"Oh I completely forgot about you Milo. Where's my soup?" She ask

"Omnipotence" Milo says without hesitation

"That was fast. Are you sure? Omnipresence would let you be everywhere all the time, omniscience would let you know everything that's ever happened" verbilixa tries to explain the other options

"I'm sure. I can lie about omnipotence and say it's something else. With the power from it I can make it look that way" Milo explains.

"You're no fun. Why not show off your powers? Make it look awesome" verbilixa says.

"Because I don't want to stand out. I just want to live my life" Milo says

"Fine. Just know. This is going to hurt" Verbilixa says with a smirk as she picks up the paper labeled 'omnipotence' a sadistic grin on her childish face. Milo suddenly had a bad feeling about this...
