A young figure was running frantically in the forest, while carrying the kidnapped girl of before. The person sometimes, turn back to see, if someone is following or not.
" Hahaha! I think they took my bait. Always if you want to trick a God, just step on their pride and everything ahead becomes smooth. I mean, although I said those words, but you know neither of us are strong enough to face them now. I could only create some small stuff now, and even that after concentrating for hours and you could only make those dark tendrils of shadows of yours, which could be only used to move things for now. It is good, you didn't show them your abilities Amaya." The young figure said joyfully. From this person's looks, it is hard to say whether they are a boy or girl. They have a androgynous face with, long flowing messy silver blonde hair and beautiful golden eyes. They are wearing black shirt with black pants. From the quite youthful look, which would put many gods of beauties take a step back, and short height of 147 cms, they look to be around 12-13 years old.
" It is good, you came at the right moment or they would have taken me to their pantheon. Thanks again... Ark." The stoic girl of back then, whom this young figure called as Amaya, was slightly smiling while leaning her head over his shoulder while he was carrying her and hugged him from behind. This was stark contrast to her expressionless face she made with others. Oh! and from his name and clothing patern, the young figure is confirmed to be a boy, with a beautiful face than the girl he was carrying.
" Hahaha! Of course I would save you, after all you agreed to be the first member of my pantheon when I turn 17, right? And, I can't risk a life of one of the potential god of my pantheon, now could I? So, you don't have to worry about it." The young man, Ark said while smiling. Then his gaze became softer and he turned his heads towards her "Besides we have know each other for three years now, and you are the first friend I made, when I started my journey to find the potential gods for my future pantheon and... the whereabouts of my unknown mother. So, there is no need to feel humble."
Amaya felt happy when he said she was his first friend, she instinctively tightened her hug around him. She, felt at peace, when she was with him. She for some reason remembered her past. Her life could be called one filled with hardships, specially when she was in mortal world....
[Past of Amaya]
Amaya was born in a world, where churches were quite an influential group. For some reason, a exorcist from a well reputed church picked her up from her parents when she was just a baby, telling them she is a evil spirit which has possessed a new body, which has to be excorcized when she got at proper age, till then they would take care of her. Amaya, doesn't even have an inkling about her parents existence until she was five, when some exorcists took her to show how "evils" are excorcized. She then in the crowd of those people, saw two people shouting how they wouldn't keep quiet, how if they weren't given their daughter back, they would reveal everything to public. She also saw how exorcists then announcing that they were possessed, killed them brutally, for no reason. It was later revealed they were her parents, who tried to enter the inner court of church, to search for her, whom they never got chance to even see group up properly.
She was also tormented and scared about how they would kill her in pieces, when she reaches the legal age of exorcising, which was ten years old. She was also left starved for many days sometimes, when she revolted.
She could still remember that day, when she was binded on the cross. How a large no. of people were even throwing rocks or things on her, for no specific reason. She never did anything bad. She never killed anyone. Then Why? Why she has to go through this? The exorcists were quite happy seeing this. Then when she was almost ready to be beheaded, something hidden deep within her stirred awake.
She could still remember that dark day, when everything was devoured by her darkness, how she killed 70% of population of the planet she was in. It was all due to awakening... Awakening of a very special Goddess.
After that, a force pulled her and then when she opened her eyes again, she was here... in the Godverse, a place where gods dwell. She appeared in a unknown town near a forest. From the looks, the town looked like a normal one, with the only difference being that everything here is managed by.... gods instead of humans.
Then, a mechanical sound informed her that she has ascend to Godverse as a [Goddess of Darkness]. Of course, she was flabbergasted back then, she even smacked her head on the earth to check if she was in a dream. After being sure, that everything was real, she was happy to leave that acursed world, which only gave her pain. But, who would have known at that time, that the place she was in now was even more merciless than before. But, it didn't take her long to know that, after she almost starved for a month. As a goddess she could be ageless, but she isn't immortal who could restore their energy. And, as in a growing phase she needed food even more. Things went to the point, where she has to ask someone to give her something to eat, only to get thrown away in the end.
Then, one day when she couldn't take it anymore she decided to go to the forest nearby the town to search for some fruits or something. At first, she hesitated to come here thinking, this is a unknown world with unknown threats. But now, that things have escalated to this point, she realised this world only follows a single rule which is "survival of the fittest". So, if she has to survive she has to become strong for that many threats would knock her door. But, who would have known, for the first time her usual dark luck would shine that day.....
She could remember that day, when after finding nothing in the forest, her spirit finally broke. She couldn't take it anymore. She has been starving for a month now, and she wasn't very strong to survive on energy present in the environment. She fainted in the middle of forest, her eyes started feeling heavy. During her "supposed" last moments, she murmured...
" I see. So, this is how I am destined to die." A wide smile formed on her lips, remembering her past, how she ultimately survived the attrocities of Exorcists, to only end up being starved here. She started slowly closing her eyes, waiting for shinigamis of God of Death to take her soul. She finally closed her eyes, to enter the world of dead....
