Vs Myself

Twenty-Five Thousand years ago, I was born. From an explosion in space, I was created from magic and stars. There was a bright light and I felt weightless for a moment. The light began to fade and the universe came into view. Nothing but stars and planets that extended into infinity.

I glided around in space, looking for a place to call home. Most planets were either too cold, or too hot, or showed no sign of life. I felt alone. I searched and searched for what felt like months. I could not tell if it was day or night. Everything was dark.

I finally found a planet I enjoyed. Mostly land, but it also had a fair amount of water. Asosa was what I decided to call my new home. Greenery stretched along the land, and rivers and streams flowed through the cracks of rocks and hills. Flowers of all types bloomed, it was something I've never seen before and none of the other planets had this much beauty. I felt warm in my soul.
For many years, I was at peace. 

As beautiful as this planet was, I was still lonely. So I decided to create little creatures or pets, one might call them. Before long I had created thousands of species of bugs, fish and forest animals. They were all so beautiful. I felt something warmer and deeper inside my soul.
For many years, I was at peace.

The animals soon began to multiply, and I realized as lovely as they were, they were still not curing my loneliness. I began to create bipedal beings. Much smarter than the pets, they learned to survive off the land and build homes for themselves and soon they too began to multiply. I sat around watching them for years, occasionally helping them move rocks or flatten the land. They looked like ants compared to me, but they enjoyed having me around.

Sometimes they would bring me offerings, like food that they grew. I could not eat, nor did I need to. This body isn't tied down by the worldly things they know or need, but the kind gesture made me feel something hotter and deeper inside my soul.  
For many years, I was at peace.

Many years passed by, and I did not begin to feel like myself. Seeing my creations made me happy. But for some reason I felt like I despised them too. One unfaithful night, I woke from my slumber, with internal rage. The inside of my head was pounding, and my soul was boiling  as if I had drunk a lake of lava. For once, I was not at peace.

 The bipedal beings rushed out of their hut homes to see me wailing and tossing around as I held my head in pain. I was terrified. I could not control myself, I was not myself. I fought to restrain myself. My head felt as if it was about to explode. I felt myself splitting into two, and in a matter of seconds, all the feeling was gone. I was disoriented for a moment, before seeing my hands and body.

My body had shrunken insanely. My arms and legs and body were not the same, it’s like I had become a whole new person, but I was happy I no longer felt that bitterness and heat inside me. I looked around and saw another being near me. I rushed over to help him up.
He spoke in a dark, low, heavy tone.

We soon discovered that we both still possessed amazing powers, not as strong as when we were one, but still very powerful. We chose to use them differently. I used my power for good and creation. And he used his powers for bad and destruction. I took it upon myself to stop him and try to teach him about good, but he refused me. He donned the name Talon, and I, Reina. I served as the balance, and together we began to rule over the planet. Him with his staff, and I with my godly hands.

 Over the course of many Millennia we bickered. But I still had faith that he would one day change. As more time passed he became more cruel and wicked. We began to fight everyday, he often tried to eliminate me, but I always outsmarted him. One day it went too far. He tried to destroy my bipedal beings and our perfect land. I wouldn't stand for it. The spark inside me ignited powers I was unaware I possessed.


My hands created a flame like substance, but it was not hot, nor did it burn. I called it controlled chaos, and with it I began to shoot beams at Talon. Each blow landed on each other also meant us hurting ourselves. He fought back with dark shadow hands that stretched toward me at a rapid pace. They lifted off the ground and tried slamming me, but I was too quick. I dodged over and over, taking shots at him where I could. Our battle neared to an end, as we both shot powers at each other, but the beams collided. There was a huge explosion followed by dust.

When the dust settled, we saw that our clashing powers had created a huge gem-like object in the center of the bipedal’s colony. It glowed bright green, and I could feel myself become stronger. While Talon was distracted, I shot one massive blow at him. My power was too strong as I injured him but I also injured myself. He became disfigured. He sprouted spikes from his back, and a third eye on his forehead. His beautiful scarlet red fur turned a bright cherry red. He grew claws and long, black horns. He looked demonic as he knelt on the ground defeated.

 I stood towering above him. I told him he was banished from this place, and that if he ever returned I would destroy him, even if it meant destroying myself as well in the process. Talon fled from Asosa and took refuge on a nearby planet he called Soslia.
This began a 3 millenia long war that would eventually lead to our demise. But for the moment I was happy. For the moment, I was at peace.
