i was in the garden walking around looking at the void that skirted it. the woman and her Amon were no where to be seen. i leaned against the wall of the void and looked at the millions of lights in the sky that represented each of the worlds. "you know that these stars will one day go out and those on them will return to the void" i looked over my shoulder at the void "i know and i'll just make them more worlds to return to" "you plan to make this cycle endless?" "as long as i live then yes i won't let it end" "a hope i guess" "is there anything else you haven't told me, void?" "many things but that's because you're not full yet. you still have to grow before you can understand them" "a million years passed outside the void while only 17 passed inside" "yes and no. you only aged slowly because of you're origins, those around you aged slower as well. time never moved slow for the others. a million years. that's about the time i helped make you with the

it was warm this feeling. like i had been welcomes into the arms of something that understands me. i opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. i was alone in the apartment. no one around. the shadows were pooled on the ground close to the couch "i have never been in control of you" "why was i never told what i am?" "because you were happy and i only ruin happiness" "so now what? will you take be to the void or just cut me off?" "neither. you are like me but now like me. i have saved millions of lives from Extinction because he is an evil creature that feeds on there magic. i've known about him since my creation and he will pay for the damage he has cause to creation in every cycle" "i don't want to see people die but he must die" "i'm sorry for lying to you" the pool grew upward forming a body. Zoe looked at me standing in the shadows "i made this form when Extinction blocked my connection with you. i knew you would wake up and break free from him so i sent y

i was sitting on the edge of the fountain looking as the shadows hissed at me and slithered back to the void. i was happy since i was here and no where else. aside from my stomach having a hole bigger then my head in it, i was feeling great. the woman walked up to me with a man that had tanned skin and long uncut black hair "you both look happy" she saw my wound but i waved her off "it's fine" "you're bleeding and you're guts are showing" "leave it. i'm dead and it doesn't matter anymore" "i'm sorry" "it's fine i needed to die so i didn't become the monster i am" the man hid his face behind his hands and hair but kept looking at me "i'm not gonna bite" i stood up slowly and walked to him offering a hand "you Amon right?" his voice was quiet "you know my name?" "yes you're friend told me you're name and that you made this garden" "i died to make this place for her. i saw what you did earlier" "i'm sorry for that. something else was forcing me to act agains

sleep brought me back to the garden but this time i hadn't changed to the overalls and nothing was holding me back from specking. the woman was sitting on the edge of the fountain when i arrived. she smiled as she saw me "you're back. you looked different" "this place, all of it, even you. it's all fake. this garden was swallowed by the void" "you're wrong, but at the same time right" "explain" "maybe it's better if i explain" the weird man in the striped suit stepped around me and smiled wider then normal "this place was the first world to be born. it was born so long ago that no one knows that is even existed. you are only the forth life form to ever set foot in here. it is amazing what this garden is and what it has done" "tell me what she meant now!" "everything that will be or ever has been all requires something that creates the magic of life. nothing is without this rule, not even the goddess of death luna's people. even worlds need this magic or they wi
