We were ancient couples who have lived for eons. It wasn't known to us when we were created. We just knew that we were born out of nowhere, just like other ancients.
It has been millions of years since we kept gazing at the stars as we stood on the island that we had created. It was a artificial island, yes.
My name is Kornos and my wife name is Sony. To those wondering why we are so intense in gazing Stars for millions of years, let me explain to you. As our age grew, we lost our sense of time so now no matter how much time passes, it doesn't affect us anymore. We just do what we want for any period we want. We don't care about time.
As for the reason to why we are gazing at stars, well there is no reason. Romance doesn't need a reason. Our love is infinite. We just try to share it on occasions like this.
For any mortal, gazing at stars is a work of few hours or minute at night. Well I agree that some might stay awake whole night gazing at stars but that's it, similiar to them we are just doing that. It's just our relativity to time differs like I said previously.
Years passed and I saw something unusual. The star of calamity gleamed. I looked at my Wife Sony and she also looked at me and said "Hubby, see that star...isn't that star of calamity, it's shining. Do you think that the world will face a calamity soon?"
I heard the obvious and nodded furiously. "Don't worry. Even if the calamity strike, at most we will die."
" And you know, I know, we both know." I smirked , "That we would love to die."
I looked at my hubby who said these words and nodded softly. We both have lived far too long. At this age we were just doing romance all the time. Maybe having a son or daughter wouldn't be bad...
I saw my wife's facial expression suddenly become dim. I knew instinctually, about what made her sad. I reassured her, "Don't worry sweety, we have already adopted a lot by now. If you want, we can adopt again."
She looked at me as if she were looking at a idiot. "I want my biological baby, not a mortal who dies after some time."
I sighed at her words. Yes we wanted to be parents, and we adopted a lot. Why? because we can't become parents biologically, not because our genitals didn't work but because it worked too well that it didn't work in the end.
As ancients we were all super powerful and the world restricted us from reproducing. So, all ancients were eunchs technically, except they all can have sex.
As we were immersed in our sad memory, we saw something flash by. The calamity of star disappeared. With it's disappearance came a baby, which was floating on void.
Before the other powerful figures could feel the change in astrology, we both took some quick actions as we teleported near the baby and took it with us. The one holding the baby was my wife. She had a motherly look at she gazed at the baby. I also looked at the baby and then nodded at her. We were both parents by heart and now we could have a ancient son too, not a mortal anymore.
Meanwhile, in some other place, a heaven. The saints and goddesses were looking at each other. The situation was grim.
The king tried calming them as he sat on the throne which was in middle of the heavenly realm. "Calm down. Looks like a new ancient is born.. And it's not just any ancient. It's ancient of calamity, a bearer of new power and threats to world."
