He swings her in a wide circle before the giant Jupiter takes and wraps her in a gentle hug. I watch as she’s passed from god to god. In this private moment, their soul bonds are reformed and in the case of Saturn, Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune, they are formed from the vestiges of their human life together.

Venus glows with their love and the men are once more complete in their brotherhood.

“Zahra, why the fuck do you have a dick?” Mars suddenly roars, shaking the cosmic fabric of time and space with his loud words.

“Impressive, hmm? I can finally bend you over that barrel.”

“What barrel?” Mercury asks.

“That one!” Venus points out helpfully to an old barrel labeled A & W, sitting some distance off.

“You just had to give her back her powers?” Pluto groans to me.

As Venus manifests herself a ninja costume that still allows her cock to be free, I question my actions.

“Children, enough,” I order, as I turn Venus back to her womanly form.

She pouts, but is distracted by her men clamoring around her to shower her in their affection.

“I have a job for you all,” I tell them.

“Yes?” Venus asks. “Wait, can we have sex here? I mean, will you see? I mean, theoretically, as the Universe, you’re everywhere and always see us banging, so-”

Mars slaps a familiar hand over her mouth.

“Let the ‘Verse speak,” Sun directs the talkative goddess.

“As I was saying, I have a job for all you Majors. I want you to seed new worlds for me.”

“Seed? Like metaphorically using sex or literally using real seeds?” Venus wonders.

The twins groan.

“Neither, the Universe means it wants us tocreatenew worlds.”

“I knew that,” Venus sasses.

“Yes, you are free to make new realms; the only stipulations being that they connect to your original creation in the third dimension and that they are balanced.”

“They have to connect to Earth? Do you think that wise?” Venus wonders.

“Don’t question the Universe,” Saturn commands.

“Fine, whatever, but total chaos doesn’t sound like balance to me,” she snarks and I grin.

“A little chaos is needed to bring balance sometimes, my child.”

I grin thinking that’s exactly what my Venus is,chaotic.

“You may begin,” I urge.

“Oooo, this is going to be fun!” Venus chortles in excitement. “I’m going to make a rainbow world, and a food world, and. . . Oh! A Tarot world!”

“A rainbow world?!” Mars despairs. “Fine, but you heard the Universe, you need to balance it. So don’t forget the colors black, white, and shit brown.”

“And fifty shades of me,” Mercury jokes.

“Ugh, you guys are totally ruining my world!”
