Prologue //
Bossy Goddess is Bossy
Drat! Curses on sorcerers! Curses on this plane! Curses, curses, curses!
Can I offer any assistance?
Ahh! A sorceress speaks, her voice booming down upon me! You! You have trapped me here!
No, no. Definitely not me. I may be able to help, though.
Watcher? What a strange name for a sorceress. But, if you did not possess the means to trap me in this mortal body, how can you free me?
I never said I couldn’t trap you. I merely said I didn’t. Big difference, there. What do I call you?
My name is Gaia, goddess of the earth, goddess of the green, and all that grows.
I’m just going to stick with Gaia, if that’s alright with you.
If it means I am one step closer to my freedom, call me whatever you wish.
You might regret saying that in the future. Let’s get you to the station, sort out your citizenship, and start the application process.Officer: What is your full name?
Gaia: I am Gaia, goddess of the earth, goddess of the green, and all that grows.
Officer: Ma’am, I just need a first and last name?
Tell them to call you Gaia Diua. Diua means ‘divine goddess’.
Gaia: Call me Gaia Diua, if it will satisfy your paperwork.
Officer: Alright, one more thing, where will you be living? We need a place of residence to put in your file before we can file your Founder’s Intent paperwork.
Gaia: You can find me in the Magnolia Blossom—
You can’t legally live in the park, Gaia. Tell the nice young man that you will be developing the Twin Oracle Point lot, in Newcrest.Later, at the Caliente Residence…. 
Gaia:My name is Gaia Diua.
Don: *She’s a preeetty redhead* Oh, uh, nice to meet you, miss. I hope you find your shoes.
Gaia: I’ve been told by a trusted source that you, young man, are fond of strong, redheaded women. In this mortal form, I am as such. Will agree to come live with me? I can guarantee you a completion of your aspiration, and more after that, all the WooHoo a man like you could wish for, and a very nice bed to do it in. Also, please invite your female roommates, I can make use of them.
And, don't forget to sell your furniture!
Don: Uhh… sure?
Twin Oracle Point...
Gaia: I am pleased to meet you, Dina. As a member of the culinary field, you will be the Hebe of my house, until you grow old, and die.
Dina: *whoa, that's a little dark* Like, uh, what’s a Heeb?
Gaia: Hebe was the one who made ambrosia, and gave it to the gods of Greece to prolong their immortality. You will do the same for me. Now, Nina, come here…
Gaia: Nina, you are to be my Seshat. You will paint portraits and take photographs, to record the history of this house.
Katrina: What am I, chopped liver?
Gaia: You will be my Hestia. You will fix that which is broken, you will clean that which is dirty, and you will care for any children born during your lifetime.
Gaia: Don, your given name is so fitting to your title in this house. You will be my Adonis. You will maintain the bloodlines of this world. Also, you are to be responsible for entertaining at parties, and ensuring their success.
Don: (Well, that sounds kinda fun!)
Gaia: You will each be given one whim-day a week. Your wish is our watcher’s command, as long as it will not endanger the dynasty’s success. The other six days you are sworn to fulfill your duties and put as much into the dynasty as your puny mortal lives can offer—
I feel it may be time to introduce myself! Gaia, take the supreme goddess stuff down a notch. You’re guaranteed to be mortal for another forty days. Act like it, pretty please.
Everyone, I am the Watcher. Gaia insists on believing this makes me a sorceress. I am just a mortal from another plane with a little bit of power in yours. Gaia is mortal, despite the way she acts, and can only threaten you. I can remove the ladders from your pools, lock your doors, and turn around the fridge so you can’t get in.
But, I can also save you from starvation, homelessness, and maybe even a mortified death! Remember that I am mighty. Also remember that I come to your world to help you. Help me help you, by listening to what Gaia and I tell you to do for the sake of the dynasty, and everything will be just fine.
Welcome to the Diua Immortal Matriarchy.
