Kid Agents

I slap myself awake. How many people could say that? Seriously, I'm still dumbstruck by what happen. Myself visits me again and scare the shit out of me. Is he gonna come over to see myself again and gives those short messages in the future? Well, whatever. He gave me an important news there.

I kinda understand about the Tree of Life thing. I mean it's obvious by the gifts I gave to that huge tree. The no free will part is the pressing matter. He also says to fix that part. But, how? Hmm...

I just sit there for a few more moments, just thinking of a more efficient method to use my leftover powers to fix that no free will thing. I don't think that just wishing for free will is going to be cheap on my powers. Thus, I need to consider a method on how it's going to spread all over this world.

Through air? I think no. The creatures living underground and under the sea wouldn't get it.

Through physical touch? No as well, that would take a really long time to spread.

Hmm.....so, the only solution that I'm seeing is by having someone spread it for me in all the various ways. As I might imagine that I won't be awake to do so, after using my powers on it.

An agent of free will. A being that will help me spread it. However, I think in terms of how it's existence is to spread free will, isn't it contradictory to how it is no longer has free will of it's own by doing such job for me?

The only way I see to counteract this is by letting them spread it constantly without making it a proper job for them. They will still be free to do whatever they want, as per what they represent but, their existence themselves would emanates free will.

Also, I don't think they need a definite shape. As how they would look like, it's up to them to decide how it is. This will also make it easier for them to travel anywhere in this world, so that they can spread it everywhere as well. Thus, with that I have a quite clear vision of what I'm suppose to do.

Closing my eyes while sitting cross-leg on the dirt bed, I picture these agents of free will in my mind. Slowly, I feel my body getting smaller and smaller as the bed below me gets bigger. Until finally, I lose my consciousness as I lie down on the bed. I guess I won't be seeing how my creation would look like.

Hearing the sound of waves whistling in my ear, I open my eyes to see sunlight piercing through the leaves of a tree. Sitting up, in front of me a view of a beach spreads out. The blue water splashes against the golden sandy beach as I could see a small figure of a child near it.

The child then turns around and looks up at me with a surprise face. She looks like a ten year old kid wearing a cute white dress with a big sun hat on her head. Then, she quickly runs over here excitedly and promptly sits down in front of me.

"You're finally awake!" she says so with a big smile.

"Yeah, I guess so. Anyway who are you, little girl?" She has a short dark brown hair, blue eyes and tan skin. Seems kinda familiar but, I just can't quite remember.

"I'm your caretaker, Kahu," huh? Why is it she's my caretaker? Also, I've never heard anyone with the name Kahu before. But, first gotta confirm something else.

"Umm, Kahu.......is this a dream?"

"Yes it is. However, I'm real," Wow, that just makes it more confusing.

"Right now, I'm making you dream about the memory you've had. I think you called this place, Hawaii?" No wonder this beach is so beautiful and kinda familiar.

"So, anyway. Why are you my caretaker?"

"We believe it is our duty as children of the All Father," what now?

"Duty? Also, whose the we you just said, and whose the All Father?" She looks up at me with a confuse look and after a few moments she giggles.

"You're so funny. Of course, the All Father is you and we your children are here to take care of you."

All of this is making my head all muddled up. I take a deep breath and try to go through all this information one at a time.

"So.....I'm the All Father."

"Yes."

"You are my.....child?"

"Yes."

"Also, you said 'we'. How many children do I have?"

"I don't exactly know. I only know I've already met around a hundred of my brothers and sisters. Also they say there's probably more I've haven't met yet," hundreds of children?

"Umm........Where did you guys come from?"

"We come from you, of course. You created us," I guess that kinda concludes a few things. These kids are agents of free will but, why become my caretaker? I don't think I really need help.

"Anyway........You said this a dream? So, I'm currently asleep. How did you get into my dream?" she suddenly shows a shock face and looks at me guiltily.

"Well.......I really wanted to meet you directly.......So, I slip into your mind and made this dream," she smiles wryly at me.

"So, you in a sense, you infiltrate........naughty kid," I look at her with half close eyes.

"U-Umm, I'm sorry. I really couldn't wait to really meet you. It's just seeing you just sleep after so long I just couldn't wait anymore," with a small nervous laugh she scratches her head.

Then, suddenly, from the branches of the tree above me, a small kid lands on my lap. He looks like a five to six year old with spiky red hair and only wearing a swimming trunk. He looks up at me and gives an innocent smile.

"Kleiner! That's rude to All Father," Kahu scolds at the kid that I presume name as Kleiner.

"Sorry. I wanted to meet All Father too, sister," the kid turns around and looks at Kahu. Then, I hear a lot of footsteps coming from afar. Looking to my right, I could see around two dozen kids running over to us.

"......My kids?"
