Life isn't as sweet as people try to make it seem, and a perfect exemple of it was lewin's life. Ever since he was young, Lewin was bullied, and humiliated every day on his high school, at home, his parent's didn't really neglected him, but they also didn't pay him enought attention.
Father always busy with work and dealing woth the problems his mother brought, while running after her dream of being a chef, so ever since he was young, he felt really.... Empty.
Util one day, he found on his yard a little red cocoon. The cocoon was damaged on all of it's sides, cuts and cracks spread all over it, a dark yellow liquid leaking from the openings and painting the grass around it.
Lewin imediately though it was some kind of bug who was abused by some kids on his street, wich after thinking it was dead, threw it on his yard.
Melancholly filled lewin's eyes, he didn't really feel bad about the bug's death, what he felt sad about was the fact thet he wasn't able to save it.
util, the cocoon moved a bit, lewin saw it and didn't even though twice, the picked it a brought to his room.
he did everything he could, and remembered that he could do to help a creature to recover, food, a warm place to rest, silence, he even talked to it for a bit, but was the last thing he did that made the most progress; he gave it water.
The cocoon reacted like a sponge, the water touched it's surface andthen was absorbed within secends. After absorbing water the cocoon wounds seemed to close adn it's "Bleeding" also seemed to lessen.
Lewin was shocked, but he understood, it needed water. he continued to bring water to the cocoon. Little by little, the cocoon recovered, ad it's bealtiful scarlet surface was completely restored.
he lifted he cocoon and verified from all angles to make sure it was recovered.
He confirmed the cocoon was completely fine now and let a relieved sigh.
Putting down the cocoon he brought a chair and sat besides the bed he had made for it, that was just a box full of blankets and some grass he picked from the yard.
Lewin sat there for 2 hours, waiting for sometihn to happen.
he was starting to lose faith, and was quite anxious, thinking the thing actually had died, but soon, the whole cocoon started to crack again.
Lewin became desperate, getting up from his chair to get more water to give it.
but without giving him time to do much, the cocoon split open, and from undernearth, a tiny humanoid appeared.
It was a female figure around 2 to 3 inches, with porcelain white skin, doll like face, full red lips, and a long, bealtiful red hair that reached to her knees.
When the figure left the cocoon she started to float, the little woman opened her eyes and looked around, trying to find something.
When her eyes landed on Lewin she seemed surprised, probably sxpecting something else.
"Are you who helped mt just now?" The tiny woman asked tilting her head to the side.
Lewin was completely shocked, how could from a tiny woman come out from a cocoon, and why does she talk?!
"Ye-Yes it was...." He responded timidly
the tiny woman smiled
"I see... I was expecting some of those old geezers to have icked me up after my defeat, but it seems like fate reserved something else to me. May i know your name, boy?" the tiny woman asked, crossing her arms.
"I'It's Lewin...!" Lewin imediately responded.
The woman closed her eyes for a moment, memorizing his name.
"Lewin, i am extremely grateful for what you have done for me today, you saved my life. Unfortunalety, it seems like my power has been greately weakened after my defeat, so i don't have anything to reward you... Is there anything else i could do for you?"
Lewin's brain stoped working for a moment. Powers? Weakened? I saved her life? What?! all these kinds of though flooded his brain, it was too much information for his little head to handle.
After a moment or so, Lewin reorganized his thoughs, while still a bit confused, he still could think properly.
"Um... Well if you could... i would like to ask... Who are you...?"
The tiny woman once again seemed surprised, but smiled.
"Okay then, let's beggin form the start;"
The tiny girl then proceeded to tell Lewin everything about her.
First of all she didn't knew, or better, she had forgotten where she was born. But what she did remenber was that ever since she was young she had the power to create life, but nothing so god like as to create living things out of nowhere, no, what her power did was give her the ability to remove some cells from her body, and allow them to evolve independently.
But her power went even far! When "Laying" her spores, she had to define an area using blood, and inside that area, everything was like a whole other world, it had a sun, a moon, stars, clouds, weather, and she could control every aspect of it, after all, none of that was real, it was just an inlusion made by a strange energy she called "Soul Essence". All the effects of these things were actually made directly by that same power. even the flow of time.
Meaning that just by leaving a few billions of spores on the tiny world and making yeons pass on it, in just mere seconds she could summon an army of monsters!
And the best part of it was because the monsters were a part of her body, even though they had their own conscience, she could control them as if they were a part of her body, so no danger of being betraied!
The tiny woman told Lewin all that with pride all over her face, and she finished speaking with arms crossed, smiling smugly.
Lewin listened to all the history and at the end of it, he was oveflowing with excitement. This lady is so cooooooooool!!!! he tought.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he got confused. This power sounded really powerful... how come she got beaten so badly that she even took a step and a half into the grave?....
Lewin stared at the prideful little lady, adn then asked.
"Um, miss, if you could, can i ask you how did you get beaten? I mean, that power sounded really amazing..." he asked.
The lady heard his question, and her pride slowly melted, and she seemed full of melancholly.
"Yeah... That's wat i though too... You see, through all of my life, i had ruled supreme above everyone and everything... But it ended up that i wasn't the only one that had powers on the universe... And when i met up with people that had powers just like me, I didn't have my powers trained to their fullest potential... i didn't stood a chance" The lady replied with a sad tone, a shadow covering her eyes while she looked to the ground, regretting her decisions.
lewin looked at the tiny lady, such an amazing and bealtiful person so sad, it made his hearth ache.
he got up from his chair, walked to the woman and hugged her tiny body.
The woman was taken aback by his sudden actions, she looked at Lewin's relatively larger body and started to speak.
"...Lewin you didn't had to-" she was cut off by Lewin starting to speak
"I know it isn't much, i don't have powers, subordinates, trasures nor anything that recompensate for your loss... This is all i can do... So please accept it"
At his words, the tiny lady's eyes widdened, and something inside her clicked. In all of her long, long, loooooong life, she had never heard words that sounded so sweet, and sincere, but, for a moment, she felt dejavu. Tha feeling was so strong, that she felt like she already had felt it before.
her body grew numb, and she accepted, the hug.
"....Thank you, Lewin" She said while a tear formed on her eyes.
They hugged for some time, and then let go of each other.
The tiny lady floated back to her "bed" and stood there, she looked at Lewin and said.
"I think it's already time for me to go. I am sorry for troubling you. I am not too familiar with this planet, so wish me luck!" the tiny lady said. She turned to one of the windows and started to float in it's direction.
Lewin's eyes widdened at this, he looked at the woman leaving and spoke.
"Wait!" he yelled.
The woman who was leaving stoped and looked at Lewin.
"What?" She asked.
Lewin noticed what he had done just now, and was a bit troubled.
"Erm, ah, nothing, it's just, um...." He couldn't formulate a phrase.
"Well, if it's nothing, i am leaving" the tiny lady said and again began to float towards the window.
"No, wait!" Lewin spoke again.
The Tiny lady tuned her head towards him again and spoke.
"What is it? Do you want something more? Speak, c'mon!" she urged.
"Ah! Erm, i mean... Do you really need to leave now...? Be-Because... You know... There's..... Zombies outside...?" Lewin lied with a tone that seemed more like a question than an afirmation.
The tiny lady looked at Lewin and smiled again. As far as she knew, zombies just appeared on places where dark energy gathered, even though this planet has some dark energy, it's way too little to form even a spirit, talk abaut zombies!
"Oh? Then what should i do, stay here?" she asked sarcasticaly
"We-Well... If you want to..." Lewin said trying to hide the fact that he lied.
The tiny let ot a little laugh and then floated to lewin and landed before him.
"Okay then, i will stay." She said.
Lewin's eyes brightened up, he quikly got up from his chair and crouched on the ground before her.
"Realy?!?!" he asked with his big black eyes while staring at her.
She laughed again "Yeah, really!"
Lewin heard that and started to jump around, happy to know that she was staying.
After his excitment died down a little, he crouched again a asked.
"By the way, what's you name?" he asked
The tiny lady stoped and though for a moment.
"Umm~ I think i don't have one" She asnwered non chantly.
"Don't have one?" Lewin asked surprised.
"Well at least not one that i can remember"
"Hmm" lewin though for a moment. "If it's like that, why don't we call you Vin?"
The tiny lady widened her eyes once again.
"Oooh! That's actually a pretty good name. Does it have any meaning?"
"No!"
Lewin bluntly answered with a happy face, and at such a situation The tiny lady, now named Vin, couldn't even react normally, she just smiled at his innocenscy.
"Okay, then let's introduce ouselfes again!" Lewin proposed, at wich Vin just nodded.
"Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is Lewin, i am seven!"
"Hi, my name is Vin, i am, um... Let's say 25(Million) years old, it's my pleasure."
they shook each others hand, and after retracting their hands, Lewin spook up.
"Now that we've already agreed that you're gonna be here for a while. I have to tell you, There's no zombies outside, i was lying...!" He said, murmuring the last part.
"Oh! That was a lie? i couldn't have tell!"
"Yeah i know, i am a great liar!" Lewin said smiling smugly
