Next time the kittens come to town I'm crashing your place.
1. A god is hard to explain. My father, uncle and brother are over seven thousand years old. (I'm twenty-eight). Gods are not human. They are sustained by belief in them. When people stop believing they fade away. The only reason why my father and uncle out of their family has survived is because my father has a very strong belief in himself and my uncle fell in love with someone and refuses to leave him alone. A god has certain abilities pertaining to their sphere of influence. I can't exactly tell you how it works, you'll have to forgive me on that.
But my father is and does take care of the souls of our people when they die. There are a lot fewer of them now than there were at the height of our people's time, but we still have some followers.
2. It's... like any sort of energy source? Air is a world wide phenomenon and yet we have a word for it. As we get further advanced we learn more about how air is made but it's still air. So is blood. It's like an electromagnetic field that we project, I guess. Some of us have stronger fields than others.
3. Nothing. Their parents are very surprised. A lot of public schools in the States won't let you in if you haven't been tested, but there's no mandatory law saying you have to be.
4. Dunno. Not my field of expertise. The theory is sort of creating a reflection or a fence around the magical aura a person has so it can project but I don't know the technical details.
5. I meant the end of puberty. I used eighteen as a short hand. That was my fault.
6. As long as history has been recorded. According to the gods, at least. Considering how long some of them have been around, I think they would know. It's not considered a mutation any more than having eyes would be considered a mutation.
When I first came to the city I couldn't believe - still have trouble with it - that there are people who are born without magical abilities. It's like something out of a science fiction story.
