Once upon a time, there used to be six godly beings. They were the start of everything, the void. They wanted more. They wanted to evolve. They wanted entertainment. They couldn't just create everything, they all had their special abilities. One of them created time, the other created space. They were still bored, so they had one of them create planets. Planets didn't entertain them, they weren't sure what to create now. One of them came forward and created what is called a 'soul'. Another one of them helped that one and they created sentient beings together to roam their planets. They were bored of just being void, so they decorated their environment and themselves. They called their living space 'heaven'. One of them became the judge of 'souls' and let only the purest of souls join them in their living space. The rest of the souls were doomed to live in a part of void called 'hell'. This 'hell' had no one guiding it, because of that sometimes bad souls would terrorize planets. The six gods also had to introduce themselves to the sentient beings, so they gave each other names. They were Layla -the Judge of Right and Wrong-, Flyena -The Keeper of Time-, Meena -The Guardian of Heaven and Creator of Sentient Bodies-, Darca -The Guardian and Creator of Space-, Onshima -The Creator of Planets-, and Mikaela -The Creator of Souls-. They all had their style preferences, they created themselves helpers in those preferences. Mikaela was the only one who used their own piece of void to create one. Mikaela loved beautiful things. Mikaela loved water and seasides. They were beautiful to him, so he named his helper 'Serene'. Whenever he looked at Serene, it reminded him of a happy summer day. Serene was very loyal to his master, way more loyal than the other helpers. He was willing to do everything for his master. One day, Serene told his master his new idea. The Earth and humans. His master told the other gods about this project, and they all agreed to do their parts. The first humans were now borned. Eve and Adam. From Eve and Adam came all the other humans. Mikaela loved the Earth since it was Serene's idea. He introduced the gods to the humans himself. All the humans loved him, one in particular loved him more than anyone else. It was Eve, Eve would always cook for Mikaela and take care of him even though he was a god. Mikaela found Eve so dear that he gave a piece of himself to Eve. The gods despised what Mikaela did. They shamed him for it. Mikaela didn't care, for him Eve and Serene were the only important people. Mikaela started to spend more time with Eve, Serene felt…weird. A weird feeling. A feeling that made his guts feel like they were deteriorating. That feeling was jealousy. Serene begged Mikaela to stop spending so much time with humans, claiming that they were dangerous. Mikaela did not listen. He just asked for Serene to come with him. Serene wanted nothing to do with humans. One of them was who stole his master after all. Serene decided to prove to Mikaela that humans were dangerous. He started false religions and saw Mikaela get denied as god. As they were about to burn him at the stake, Serene appeared. Making himself seem like a hero. Eve saw right through Serene. Eve never said anything about Serene to Mikaela though, to not make him sad. The souls at hell were increasing rapidly. So rapidly that they had planned an attack on Earth. Mikaela was horrified. He still loved humans even after they tried to burn him. He tried to get the other gods to help him defend Earth but no one wanted to. Mikaela had to defend Earth alone. He told Serene what happened. Serene was terrified. He begged Mikaela to not fight them. They came from somewhere where no time or space existed. If anyone fell, they would become truly nothing. He was willing to do everything to defend Eve. Serene had to agree to fight the bad souls to appease his master. Eve was completely horrified too, she was scared that something was going to happen to Mikaela. Eve tried her best to motivate Mikaela to not fight them but she was unsuccessful. The time of the battle had come. Mikaela fought proudly next to Serene. He gave his everything, and he won. He won by sacrificing himself. He won by pushing himself and the last bad soul to their 'death'. Serene saw his master 'die' right in front of him. He didn't know what to do. After the news was told to Heaven, Serene vowed to find his master. He didn't believe that he was truly nothing now. He blamed everything on Eve. Eve blamed everything on the humans. She killed humans in Mikaela's name. She was eventually killed and was reborn in hell. She commited unspeakable crimes in Mikaela's name to get the gods' attention. She believed that they could bring back Mikaela. The reverse happened. Eve was sealed into hell. Serene was the one who suggested for her to be sealed. Serene was going to bring his master back. Serene was going to be his master's hero. Eve started being even more violent and finally made a deal with Onshima to be sealed into Earth. Eve knew that if Mikaela was going to be back again, he would be reborn on Earth. She was willing to wait as long as it took for him to come back. She monitored the void levels everywhere until one day, she got a high reading. She was ecstatic, she was sure that it was Mikaela. Instead of finding Mikaela as himself, she saw a baby. A little crying baby. He was in a nurse's arms. Eve got confused. She could feel that the baby had Mikaela's essence inside but it was just a baby. Eve wondered if this baby was Mikaela reborn. He had to be. There was no other answer. She had to be careful. The gods couldn't know about this. That traitor Serene couldn't know about this. The only god Eve trusted was Onshima, but she couldn't even trust Onshima with this. Eve closely monitored the child until he became a teenager and became friends with him. She was going to tell him everything when he was ready for it. She couldn't wait to be embraced by her love again. She was so happy that he was reborn. She was taking care of him as much as she could. After hearing about how Serene was now in her love's school, she was horrified. Serene was just a jealous selfish person to her. She blamed everything on Serene. What happened was in the past, but the future existed. Eve wasn't going to let his love be taken from her again. She was going to protect Ling with her life. If Serene even touched him, she was going to do unspeakable things to him. Right after hearing about Serene, after Ling's school was over, Eve went to Ling's school. She pulled Serene to the side. "Touch him and I'll show you how fucked up hell is." Serene was puzzled. "Eve? Is that you?" Eve held a knife to Serene's throat. "Who else did you expect? Stay far away from Mikaela. Me and him only wish for freedom." Serene didn't expect to be threatened in this way. "Just drop the knife. You know that it can't hurt me." Eve had a fierce expression on her face. "I'll make it hurt, if that's what you are worried about." Serene smiled. "My master is mine. You might have a piece of my master but you are just human. Don't act like you were created by him, for him." Eve pressed the knife harder into Serene's throat. "You might be the one he created specially, but you were only created to serve. You couldn't even serve him properly. I'm not letting you breathe the same air as him." Serene laughed. "Really? You are going to separate me from whom I'm supposed to serve? That's clever." Eve felt furious. "Stop talking! Just leave my love alone!" Serene stopped smiling. "Your love? Who confirmed that? Not my master. Stop making fantasies up." "You are the person who should stop making up fantasies. He will never look at you that way. You were only created to serve." Serene's brows furrowed. "You forget who you are." Eve was the one who was smiling this time. "I know exactly who I am. You said that because you know exactly who you are." Serene threw Eve onto the school's wall. "You are despicable. You are no match for my master!" Eve stood up. "If Onshima knew about what you did, she would have banished you from heaven. Continue ignoring that fact, sure." "You are really trying to get on my nerves, huh?" Eve sighed. "No. I'm simply telling you the facts that you already know. Just reminding you is what I'm doing. I wouldn't hesitate to kill you if it came to it, you know?" Serene smiled. "That's a unique thought. I'd love to see you try." Eve opened her knife again. "Now, are you leaving Mikaela's school or not?" Serene crossed his arms. "Of course not." Eve held up her knife. "What are you two doing?!", Ling yelled. He put Eve's arm down. S erene frowned. "She tried to stab me. I was just defending myself." Ling was not happy. "Do you two know each other?" Silence was the only thing that could be heard. Ling sighed deeply and asked what Eve wanted from Serene. Eve got desperate. "I just…want you to be healthy and happy! That's all I've wanted! Serene is-" Eve got cut off by Serene, who knew exactly what Eve was going to say. "I'm your servant! I was created to be with you, by you!" Serene pulled Ling's arm, suddenly all of Ling's wrist scars were open for anyone to see. Ling broke free from Serene's grasp and quickly pulled his sleeve up again. Serene was speechless. He never expected something like this from Mikaela. "Why…?", he muttered. Eve teared up. "It's all your fault…", she said, with her voice cracking. Serene's face was red with anger. "I would NEVER hurt my master! Shut the fuck up, you devil!" Serene's voice was shaking. "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! ALL OF-" "ENOUGH! Calm down! I did this to myself. It's none of your fault!", Ling yelled. Serene and Eve were shaken up from Ling's outburst. They stared at each other, in silence. Serene broke the silence. "...I'll get going then, but this is not over." Serene walked away. As soon as he did, Eve hugged Ling. "Are you okay? I'm sorry.", she asked. "I have lots of questions but other than that I'm fine." Eve pulled away Ling and held his hands. "I'm sorry, but I can't answer your questions." Ling looked down. " Why not? You don't even know what I'm going to ask." Eve pulled Ling's head up. "I can guess. Trust me, if you knew the answers to your questions, you would have chosen this life. This was all you wanted before…" Ling stayed silent. Did he actually like his life? He wouldn't have hurt himself if he did. Ling trusted Eve. He couldn't act like Eve just said nothing. He just…hugged Eve. Eve quickly hugged Ling back. Eve just wanted Mikaela to be comfortable. Eve disliked being touched, but with Mikaela…she wished that one hug could fix all of his trauma. Eve was gentle, she shined like a pearl and she was also as noble as a pearl. Maybe she couldn't see it but Mikaela did. Even as Ling, he saw her like that. "...Can you walk me home?", Ling whispered. Eve nodded. "Absolutely."
