Timeless Garden: Blood Lily
Timeless Garden Series
In the beginning, there was the empty, then came the light, and with the light came the darkness. Light -being - had been lonely for it only had its equal, Darkness which was nothingness, and so Light created.
Being made the burning cosmos, the life-giving water, the varying planets, and many other beings. With it all Being made it again, and again till there was an infinite of its creations. Nothingness was forgotten in the absence of life and so Darkness did what darkness knows best, and consumed. Taking and taking the Darkness consumed till Being along with its favored creations tricked the Darkness.
Betrayed by its equal Darkness remained trapped in a cage without form, state, and time. Life flourished and the Darkness was forgotten along with balance.
The Light being the creator of life and worlds was deemed omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. It was this own self-belief that existed during the birth and death of worlds that made Light forget the fundamental law of its own existence; the need for balance.
In the creation of a being most powerful from God’s own favored creations, God made a fatal error in bringing forward its existence. For every action, there is an equal opposite reaction. For a child born of order, there must be another born of chaos. And so the powerful preordained creation brought forward an opposite reaction of chaos and besieged the Light, taking it for its own and destroying the darkness in the process.
Yet the abomination that was never meant to be had the opposite reaction of its nature; as the only equal, it accepted the place of the Darkness and brought forward order and balance for the sacrifice of becoming nothingness.

Book 2: Blood Lilly
There are beings that do not follow the same natural laws as humans. Time is one such law. The law of time that should something go back in time something must come forward, though small like a blade of grass or a butterfly. Or the most dangerous law of time is going forward because then the scales shift. By going forward something must go back. The price is far greater and often leads to death, it can be a virus, a deadly creature, or dangerous human.
Since these beings do not abide by these laws they can form an entire life in the past or future. Though in order for time to heal from such disruption they are woven into the timeline. The longer they stay and the more they interact with the occupants the more they become part of the timeline. It is subtle but slowly they forget their past and the reason for their travels, they begin to see their lies as their history and the time as their present.

Fleeing one war only to fight in another Diana must reevaluate everything she has come to know and decide on which wars are worth fighting. Yet she continually ponders one question, “Is anyone worth saving?”
