Prologue : The Fault that sent Chaos

We always believe that happiness is what every human wish. that money and all sort of material things can make people happy.being able to give anything they desire of eternal satisfaction. because if eternal pleasure is the desire then why is there still something to despise? do you think greed will lead us to the never-ending happiness we wanted to achieve? I don't think so.

Under the crescent moon that shines brightly that night. calming silence and the cold breeze on a clear night. a man who was chasing a breath would wake up from an elaborate dream.

images of what happened keep appearing at he's mind once he closes his eyes. out of stress, a man stood up confused by the incident and quickly wiped his cold sweat. got up and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of cold water.

it cannot explain the feelings of fear and nervousness felt. not being able to sleep well and feeling short of breath as if death is chasing. and that is guilt that starting to crept out, regret comes after.

deafening silence enveloped the four corners of the said apartment, along with the inexplicable coldness of the surroundings. darkness engulfed the entire room until the breaking of the glass created a noise.

the night ended as if nothing had happened and seemed to be just waiting for the next sunrise.

...----------------...

A majestic clock gradually fell to the ground and quickly turned to ashes and was blown away by the wind. a smile graced the lips of the woman sitting in the very center and top of the hall surrounded by various kinds of gold and diamonds. it can be seen in its seat how powerful the woman that sitting at the said chair.

silently it laid a scissor made of crystal and looked again at those hanging at the top of the hall. the watches above looked like a strange decoration that gave a strange beauty to the whole hall. these are the clocks that correspond to human life, their life span.

a golden circle clock shining even in the dark, with clocks that are dimly lit and there are light-eating ones.

one of the creatures that served the woman sitting above could not help but feel frightened. in the eyes of all, it is a great sin to take the life of anyone.

"your grace ..."

the female creature swallowed when she heard the weak response of the old man beside her. it can be seen on its whole face that it does not agree with witnessing the death of a person who still has time. The balance that is being kept by everyone in the world around them will be destroyed.

the woman sitting at the top looked down and looked closely at the old man who spoke. her wild golden eyes look straight within its dept and start tearing the confidence and each fiber he has. one glace coming from her sent shiver and will probably hunt them. the old man took a deep breath before he continued what he wanted to say.

"your grace, you should not have done this, it may break the balance of life and death." the old man bowed when he saw the way the woman he was talking to looked at him. lifeless but sharp.

"What makes you think ?." its voice was cold and could not see any emotion, which could be heard throughout the hall.

"the court of dei--"

"will punish me ?." she cut him off, already expect what he was about to say.

the old man quickly looked up and hesitated to agree with the woman he was talking to. everyone is shocked and does not know what their reaction should be, just a reaction of the woman they are serving, a different fear is brought to them.

wild golden eyes, jet black hair neatly ponytail with a flower made of mixed gold and diamonds. her perfect shape red lips, the soft shape of her eyebrows perfectly compliment her beauty. gentle but sharp eyes, the pair of hee eyes screaming for power. the woman they served for a very long time was beautiful, but it never showed any reaction on the face. she was wearing a v-neckline bejeweled pleated pearl red A-line gown with glinting designs on it.

"he killed and torture people, mistreated and punish them in a way he shouldn't suppose to, guilt, fear, and regret killed him." its lifeless response to the old man.

nervously one of the creatures inside the hall looked up, took a deep breath and mustered up the courage before speaking.

"your grace, forgive me for interfering with your conversation but no matter what sin he committed, it is still not right that you cut off the flow of his time." even though what he said was loud and really had a point, he still could not hide the fear he was feeling.

the woman above turned to him and stared at him for a long time, as if it was shattering his whole being.

"No matter what those people did to him, he hurt and killed him, can you say that reason was enough for them to experience such suffering at his hands?" the side of the woman's lips rose as if she was satisfied but did not agree.

"Do you also think that what happened to them is right and that the person who killed them is free to live a new life? No matter what, the sin must be paid in any other way, can we say that forgiveness and asking for apology to ease everything is enough ?. " no one was able to speak to the question of the woman they were serving.

the whole hall became quiet and two men were left standing talking to the woman above. even though everyone understands what it is aiming for, what it feels like, they still cannot accept that it has made another event that could cause its suffering.

but who are they to oppose someone like the woman they have been serving for a very long time. millions of years have passed as those like them continue to maintain the balance of the world symbolizing life and all kinds of living things.

Lucien Corvo

the Goddess, who controls the life and life span of humans. she symbolizes and makes the life of all living, it is unlikely to know that she is the one who creates life in all sorts of realms, the Goddess of life of the living, would end up doing a mistake.

She made a mistake that will turn her greatest creation into ashes, the one who created life cannot give punishment in the way of killing the life that she herself created, and she being the queen of all kinds commit the greatest sin that no one in the immortal realms expects.

the one who created life and the flow of its time has no right to break the bond of life.

she, the God who represents life, taking the life span of someone she created herself, is like suicide.

...****************...

Currently, inside another grand hall where all deities are present, spacious and surrounded by various designs made of gold, diamonds, pearls and a variety of beautiful and fragrant flowers. three huge chandeliers can be seen hanging from the ceiling which gives light to the whole hall, this is the court of the deities.

the fairies as well as the deities inside are noisy while expressing various thoughts. the vast grand court is occupied by hundreds of deities as well as other fairies, who take care of the balance of the bridge that leads to the world of life and the immortal realms.

not unaware of the fact that the goddess their subject had committed a sin, they also missed it several times because they believed everything was just coincidence. but one mistake was quickly followed by the same event, it was its successive cutting of the strings of human life that brought more chaos to their world that they wanted to keep in order.

"since when did this all start ?." Raffaela the deity of healing and forgiveness ask. his face shows calmness in the face of the problem at hand. she is wearing an elegant purple gradient color A-line gown, straps sleeveless beading pearl glitter tulle.

"oh, I lost counts ... hehe." Sloane the deity of spirits answered. She knew she was one of those who might be guilty of neglecting but like them who are inside the court, what could she do if she was just a deity because there is a goddess who makes life.

"she's too powerful that she creates a passage between life and death using my abilities." Aloisa the deity of the dream spoke in a calm and soft manner, the only gates that connect life and death, the gatekeeper of the dream.

"That is the purpose why we are all in this court !." Dacielle the deity of Pain and Anger clasp her hands aggressively.

one of the deities stood up and went to the top of the court where everyone could see and hear well, raised her had that caught the attention of everyone, she was wearing a feather garment blue peacock anthropomorphic style dress. above its head is a crown made of emerald jade surrounded by gold designs. The leader of the seven deities who balance the world, who ruled the court of deities.

"Lucien the Queen of life and its life span, break the rules and take humans life and putting them on rifts so they would be forever lost, not letting them take the chance of being reincarnated. Will be punished after taking hundreds of life and for creating a nightmare. " her voice is firm and confident. the reflection of its eyes shows courage and a discipline that no one can break.

......................

"As each member of the Court talks while giving various suggestions on the possible punishment of the subject matter. They are unaware that their issues are being heard outside the court. From the very nice railing you can see a goddess. their subject, looking at the only light floating in the darkness. " an old woman moved the page of the book she was holding and turned to a girl who was listening intently to its story.

"What's wrong with what the goddess is looking at, grandma ?." the girl eagerly asked the old woman sitting on the side of its bed. the old woman smiled bitterly and resumed the story.

"There is no emotion visible on its face but its eyes are screaming with different emotions, the goddess their subject seems to be a very beautiful statue from its position. The deity that controls the time of life has no right to revive the deceased. But the goddess created a girl whom she considered her own child, the two became close to each other and the goddess felt great joy for the first time after a very long time, she also experienced the feeling of joy that she always sees and hears from mortals. there is no flaw in the creation of a goddess comparable to her own appearance. " the old woman smiled again as she told the story and showed in front of the girl listening to her is the picture where the goddess of life with her daughter.

"Syve my grandchild, even though the goddess is very powerful. Everything she created has an end and that is death. The goddess's daughter died and for the second time felt another emotion, that is the sadness of being left again, the unexplainable pain, and to witness the death of it, even regret. all the immortals sympathized with the news, the goddess returned to the former without emotion that they used to see smiling. " the old woman rested deeply and redirected the page of the book she was reading.

"Grandma, is the light that the goddess is looking at the spirit of this deceased daughter?" the old woman nodded sparingly at him after the girl's question, the girl's shoulder dropped at what she found out, and felt sad.

"Are you saying that even if the goddess goes back to her old habits, she already has an emotion formed in her heart? It's a sad story, grandma, I might not be able to sleep ..." the girl added to what she said, the old woman laughed at her reaction before continuing to read.

"The goddess tried to revive her daughter and believed that she could revive her. But as I said, everything the goddess could do had an end. A few years may have passed but the goddess still could not let off the pain from the loss of her deceased daughter. the time has passed but in its memory, everything seems to be just yesterday, it says that everything has a limit, whether it is empowered or not, there is an end. "

"a sad smile drew on the lips of the goddess, who was in the little light that was in the darkness watching. as time goes on it gets farther and farther away and shrinks until it can no longer be seen, that the light that the goddess always sees is about to disappear from her sight. "The old woman moved the page of the book again before continuing to tell the story.

"The goddess glanced again at the light before it was decided to walk in the hallway to the court where she was the most subject, the conversation of each deity who signed to give evidence and to punish the goddess for the sin she committed did not end. for a long time there was no doubt that the goddess accepted the punishment inflicted on her, a few hundred years stay in the human world and a mission. " the old woman stood up after closing the book and placed it on the nights stand on the side of the bed. she also closed the window before approaching the bed where the girl was and stroked her face and even her hair. the girl was still looking at her, the old woman smiled when she saw the expression on her face.

"What is that grandma?"

"Until now, the deities are still thinking about what is the reason for the goddess of life and why it was able to kill several hundred lives. They keep thinking, do you know what the mission of the goddess is? That is to keep life beyond of all." the old woman stroked the girl's hair before she continued speaking.

"The goddess who will go to earth will experience strange pain and joy, it will be born again and again as destiny is written on the same boundary, that is the hardship it will suffer and I ask the goddess to continue living to end the punishment imposed on it . I pray that it will be able to cope and be stable. " the old woman smiled at the girl who nodded slowly.

Soon the girl was feeling drowsy, the old woman adjusted the child's blanket while watching her gradually fall asleep. the old woman took a deep breath and left the room after turning off the room light. when the old woman came out she immediately walked to the other hallway.

though her voice was weak, she whispered the two words sadly.

"your grace ..."
