Eclipse of Creation

She was broken. Her life seemed to have crumbled overnight. She lost all she had-her mother,her father,her husband and her children. She sat at the corner of the bed,staring into space,with tear stains on her eyes. She couldn’t go on like this.

Elena stood up and walked to the large pot in the middle of her room. She wanted to erase her memories. To forget all and live a boring life. Gathering the materials for the potion,she poured them into the pot and mixed them together while reciting some spells. The liquid began to glow with a blueish hue,getting deeper with every word she said. Instantly,images flooded her mind…. Of her family. She couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks. Unfortunately,tears were an abomination for the potion.

Elena gasped as a tear dropped into the pot. The potion immediately changed color and the pot started to tremble violently. Thick black smoke rose from the pot,and black liquid started oozing out of the pot.

Elena fell to the floor as the effect of what she had done started revealing its consequences. Her skin began to melt, slowly peeling away as she screamed,twisting badly on the floor. The liquid from the pot flowed up to her, and started to fuse together. With one final scream,Elena breathed her last.

A few hours later,after the smoke had cleared fully,two figures lay sprawled on the floor. They were panting heavily. That was the consequence of the abomination. The formation of life.

When the figures were better,the sturdy,male looking one stood up,opening his eyes. His eyes were midnight blue,and looked like it could drown worlds. He stretched his limbs and raised up the other figure,which was smaller and had a feminine appearance.

The creatures weren’t human,of course. Holding hands,they vanished to outer space. They sliced their palms, letting their blood spill into the void, drawing symbols that pulsed with life.Together,they created an entirely new planet,orbiting around the sun in an anti-clockwise direction.

Years turned into decades,decades to centuries… and still,the planet endured.It was filled with human-like creatures who were descendants of the owners of the world. They named their world Gaia… and themselves,its owners.
