Laying back down on the heavenly couch, my hair spread softly across it, settling behind my waist as if it had finally found its place. My hands rested on my stomach as I slowly breathed the unfamiliar air.
It carried a quiet warmth within it, filled with the gentle presence of the Tree of Life.
I looked up at the sky above me.
A clear, crystal-like sky stretched endlessly, calm and silent.
Nature surrounded me, life that had been born from my own existence, quietly growing around the roots of the great tree.
As I watched the sky, thoughts began forming in my mind.
Questions slowly followed.
Days passed as those thoughts continued to flow.
Being someone who existed before anything else… and from whom everything else had come, I began to wonder about many things.
I wondered why i was afraid of loneliness, and why i kinda feel familiarity with a lot of things i should never been able to see before, and why someone as me that existed couples of days ago. have a shape of thinking , a unique reality to think with even tho it shouldn't be
This instinctive understanding.
i wondered if it was normal, even tho i knew its was not.
Still… it was comfortable.
If this strange instinct had not existed within me, I would probably still be floating in the endless void, staring into nothing, with nothing inside my mind. so it could not be something bad.
Among the quiet stream of thoughts moving through my mind, one idea slowly settled in place.
I looked again at the things around me. at the great presence before me.
"The Tree of Life."
And at the bright star I had created earlier, shining far above the world.
"The Sun."
If I had given names to these things…
Then perhaps it was time I gave one to myself as well.
Weirdly enough, the name did not take long to form. It slowly shaped itself within my mind
Honestly it wasn't something that bothers me much, but i new its something i should have one anyway.
Then.
"Elia Althea"
The word left my lips as i said the name. my name.
I could feel it flow endlessly through the air, through the ground. and endlessly through everywhere.
as if the nature was congratulating me, saying my name and revering it, and taking it everywhere and through everything.
I placed my fingers gently against my lips as I said my name once more, feeling the sound of it pass through them.
A faint smile slowly formed on my face.
"Elia Althea."
The name felt warm as it left my lips, light and natural.
I said quietly, a genuine feeling of happiness and quiet satisfaction settling within me.
---
Countless years has passed in a blink of an eye.
Honestly it wasn't something i kinda wanted to interfere in it.
time flow was something i can feel it, manipulate it and control it since it was something born from me.
But i wanted to see everything, to live every moment. and to wait for everything.
In these years, something new has been created and produced from the air, as a reaction from the tree of life, and from my existence.
Small molecules that can shapes the world, that can interfere in the creation, and that can make life in this planet much easier, more beautiful, and more powerful.
I called this new kings if energy "Mana".
Its like new kind of unconscious form of life. its something that gonna be needed in the future for life creation.
Its probably gonna takes time, a huge amount of time, but it didn't bother me, i was okay with it as long as life gonna exist in the future.
and i knew it will.
Then—
A feeling emerge through me. this time, new feeling, a weird one.
I knew it immediately.
The feeling of another existence, someone just got to exist, just as me. somewhere in another world.
Curiousness rushes through me.
Someone else existed.
I got up. took a few hesitant steps towards me.
Then—
"Whoooosh!".
A gate shimmered into being, forming at the edges of my will, a passage to the world where this other life had just begun.
I hesitated for a second then took my first step into the gate... Into another world.
