Afterlife, Heart and Aspects of Existence

After countless creations, Chaos was satisfied. In his fantasy, he had created the perfect manifestations. For someone who had to depend on his sister's wisdom, he had done a great job. But with all this, he was still alone and scared.

In his own safe place, he watched everything. However, there was nothing was always to perfection on the first try.

The life expectancy of its creations was low. For humans, they were having offsprings by the age of twelve but only a few had reached the age of eighteen before death consumed them. The other races and species were almost in the same predicament.

However, the most heartbreaking thing was wildlife and beasts alike. Although they had lower IQ, one would still laugh their ass off for a peek at this charade.

Those who were able to learn to hunt and eat plants or other necessary nourishments, were the lucky ones to survive and carry on reproduction of their specie's.

Those who couldn't like some rare species, died off while others popped out of the blue. Evolution was such a fils de pute! It could guarantee you survival for almost near eternity or it could bury you in the rubles of history.

With that, Chaos created another set of creations.

He also feared that one day his own sister would show up and claim his hard work as her's. Of course everyone was selfish in their own right. So he created an inner shell on everything which came to be known as the 'soul' later on and placed his own mark on it.

Chaos then brought up a new reward system. He didn't give out commandments but sure knew that with what he had in store for it's creations, it was only a matter of time before all hell broke loose or serenity assured them of a better future if they could hold on. So he created two parallel realms to the one he found himself in with Order when they woke up for the first time.

He called them Afterlife, one on top and one below. In eons to come these realms would be named as Celestial realm or Heaven, where the good souls would rest in bliss for eternity, and the Nether realm or Underworld, Hell or Pit of No Return for whichever worked for you. This place was for those bad boys and rowdy girls who spread nothing than evil and all corrupt matters while they were alive.

In the Celestial realm, Chaos had remodeled it to cater for any desires that a soul craves. It was just perfect if you were able to set foot into it. On the other hand, the Nether realm was totally the opposite. From pain, death and unimaginable ways of torture, and don't forget that in Afterlife there was no death to speak of, it was only endless agony and misery.

It was a perfect place for all those who strayed on the correct path used their free will and indulged in their unredeemable desires.

He wasn't done yet, that was not all that he had in mind.

With a thought, he appeared at the centre of everything. It was the center most place in the realm. It was desolate as the nearest creations were billions of light years away in every direction. This place was just perfect for his masterpiece.

Eons passed before the perfect picture appeared in its mind. With a few hand gestures, he created a blue planet. But this was no ordinary planet.

It was bigger and better, richer in minerals that hadn't been seen anywhere and most of all, the air was filled with a rich a aroma. Any other mortal who would have stepped a foot here wouldn't want to leave no matter what.

It would be the only heaven in the mortal realm for those who had fat pockets.

With his perfect project in place it wouldn't be 'perfect' without perfect beings to reside in it. So he created humans and beasts alike that had any and all good qualities he could come up with.

He called the planet Heart and the people immortals. That's because Heart stood at the centre of everything, and the immortals were just... immortals.

In a way that left even Chaos speechless but satisfied. The immortals were sturdy beings. Bodies built for war and brains that could do numerous critical thinking at once. They didn't age or get sick. To them, death was nonexistent by the natural causes. The deaths they recorded over the years were caused by accidents - at the wrong place in the wrong time or premeditated - wars, fueds or just not liking a certain someone.

That wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. He again created miniature versions of every element, though in lesser qualities of the ones he created or formed over the course of time and scattered them all around.

That caused the masters of those elements integrated with them and formed schools, sects and cults where they accepted disciples and became their teachers and masters. And with a little parting gift, Chaos enabled everyone on the blue planet to be able to cultivate.

He shrouded Heart with dense and pure spiritual energy that made it easier for millions of people cultivate a certain element.

However, before he left, he put a failsafe for the immortals so that they couldn't have funny ideas with their never ending lifespans and knowledge. Chaos reduced their mortality rate to less than fifteen percent.

And thus, though Heart was the last planet to be created, it made continuous breakthroughs over every field and soon traveled the cosmic space surrounding them in search of other life forms. But as everything had another side. Just like Order and Chaos, Fate and Karma, mortals and immortals, it was speculated that Heart had a twin sister out there and sooner or later the immortals would find it and embrace it's people.

After all, they were sewn from the same cloth.

Therefore, Chaos lived in bliss for the amazing things that it had created. It marveled at everything and one day a thought crossed his mind.

For the feelings and ways of how it's creations lived, Chaos learned things. It developed feelings and started gaining in-depth knowledge of even the simplest of things. This was something that made him create a last bunch of creations before it's retirement.

From what it learned, he created beings, powerful than the immortals but inferior to it. No one wanted to create something that would in turn stab it's master in the back. It had seen everything from it's creations to know that in the blink of an eye, everything could be at stake.

These beings were numerous, and each of them represented something out there. From, Fear, Revenge, Corruption, Suffering, Deprivation and even Karma. From, War, Philosophy, Warning, Dominance, Wonder and Authority.

Furthermore, the representatives that Chaos created were known as aspects of existence. He gave them power and everlasting youth and time. In short, these aspects of existences were the overlords of everything.

They could have followers and servants. In the following time, they were revered and known as gods but they were still short a step from the first immortals to have mastered their respective elements.

They were just demigods!

After scattering them everywhere, Chaos yawned and suddenly felt tired. He sighed as he couldn't share his joy with his sister and closed it's eyes. With a few deep breaths, it drifted off to sleep.

In its slumber, it dreamed that Order had come back to visit. His sister had been amazed by the progress that he had made in her absence. And she also told him of the blank story that only darkness prevailed on her path. That was until she returned to him.

They promised each other not to leave the other alone for eternity and both embraced themselves to sleep.

However, dreams were always dreams. They would always remain like that and leave once someone woke up.

... .

In another fabric of space, just near Chaos, Order had a large mug that wafted off a pleasant smell. This was one of the many beverages that she had seen Chaos' creations create and taken a liking to them. Now and then, she would create such delicacies and enjoy drinking them.

But in all these, Order knew something that her brother didn't. She had been amazed by how her brother had kept himself busy for the eons that she was gone. However, what left her speechless was the fact that a chosen of his imitations had special abilities. They could think of anything that wasn't even close on anyone's mind at that moment. Some could create some otherworldly creations that left everyone who laid eyes on them in awe.

However, every time she felt his brothers energy, it was always diminishing. They were once equals but with the constant motion of time, they drifted apart such as Order remained in the same position while Chaos lost a chunk of power.

By the time he was content in his playground, he was barely able to distinguish from the old and current self.

In all honesty, Order could have saved her brother from the impending doom - but chose not to for two reasons.

The first was that in order to save her brother, she would have to use her powers and that would weaken her to a certain extent. She couldn't take the risk and leave herself vulnerable.

It had always been a man eat man society and the weak were always preyed upon.

The second was that as they had at a certain point be self conscious of themselves and considered each other as siblings, she always had had the notion that out there, there were other beings just like them. And she had to be in her best self if one day they . encountered them.

It didn't mean that she hated her brother, it was just self preservation.

And in that, she also created something. However, she didn't go down the same road as her brother did. She didn't put a soul imprint on it and also gave it the ability to advance beyond her rank.

Now all Order needed to do was to conceal it's presence until the time it is mature enough and capable to protect itself.
