But Why? What Am I Looking For?
the Void. The bitter cold of the darkness began to thaw into comfortable warmth.
They couldnt understand it but they found the feeling satisfying. They were
together as brother and sister.
As younglings, together they played. They explored the vast darkness as
their home and guardian. Laughed at each others awfully delivered joke, enjoy
games they both invented, and embraced one another as sometimes the cold
would strike. They were happy.
Unfortunately, it didnt last forever. In one of their games, they invited the
Darkness to join. The Darkness as a much older entity than the two had no
interest to join their silly and childish games. Still, in the boredom of having
nothing to do, the Darkness sought amusement. The Darkness declines the invite
to play with the siblings but offered in return a gift.
The Darkness as a powerful spectre placed his palms on the head of Chaos
and Harmony. The two felt a surge of energy inside them whirring and churning.
The Darkness is sharing his powers with the siblings granting them abilities
theyve never seen before. Chaos somehow understood what was happening as
more energy kept on flowing through him. Harmony felt it too but the change
happening to her was far more than that she can handle. After what the
Darkness did, he let them go to play their games.
After a few decades, Chaos was still completely hyped. The energy kept
him going. He leaped across wide distances, ran as fast as sound, bellowed so
loud his sister Harmony, the one who doesnt took pleasure in her new found
powers, couldnt get a wink of sleep.
Chaos invited his sister to play a game. Harmony wasnt up to it. She was
so groggy and sleepy that a second of silence from his brothers unstoppable
wailing and noise would be complete paradise. She tried to refuse the offer but
Chaos couldnt take no for an answer. So he made a deal, if she wins the next
game, he promised to be quiet for seven years.
Harmonys ears widen, a chance for respite appeared and seven years of
peace would be a total dream.
So, whats the game? She asked.
Chaos smiled.
He opened his palm and from it a round blob of darkness began to form
on his hand.
You like it? Chaos asked while concentrating to give the blackness shape.
I call it a ball. Haha.
Harmony was a little impressed. His brother made a new toy for the two of
them to play with.
ball back with a hit from a black hammer he summoned. Harmony volleyed the
ball towards is brother and her brother continued to do the same. The kept on
returning each others attack and game lasted for an entire century.
Being tired and drowsy, Harmony failed to catch the ball and got hit on her
side which brought her a painful sensation. In her current state, Harmonys pain
and lack of rest made her somewhat cranky.
When Chaos saw her sister falling to the ground and moaning in pain, he
quickly dashed off to her side. Unfortunately, Harmonys completely irritated by
his brother by then. When he got close, She blasted her away with a wave of
darkness pulsing from her hand. It burned him completely. It made him wail and
writhe. Compared to his pain, Harmonys was a mere touch.
Realizing what she has done, she dashed to his side trying to mend his
agonizing brother. But she didnt want to use her power for shes afraid it might
bring him more pain.
She has no idea what to do. She called for the Darkness for assistance but
it didnt respond. She looked at his brother in agony and it made her swell up.
Tears began to flow on her cheeks. She didnt want to lose her brother. She
didnt want to be alone.
As a final desperate act, she touched her brother. Her determination to
heal him gave her new powers; powers drawn completely from her own essence.
Creation she thought. She remembered how his brother managed to create
something from his power. She tried to do the same without relying on the
power of darkness. She depended on herself; her own power.
As she touched him, something emerged from her; a blinding light which
radiated from her body. It gave warmed his brothers body and began to repair
his wounds.
The Darkness saw this from afar as it observed. And from then on, it
began to fear Harmony because of the light that came from her. It retreated in
its own shadows sensing that that light could render the darkness powerless.
As Chaos began to recover, he opened his eyes. Blinded, it was the first
time he saw her sister in a new light, literally. He saw how his wounds and burns
heal with her warm touch. He felt like he was in paradise. When he completely
recovered, He asked his sister how she managed to obtain her new powers. He
was completely jealous and wanted to obtain the same abilities.
I dont really know, bro. Harmony honestly responded. All she knew was
that her new powers emerged from her and all she did was she used this new
found power to help him.
But Chaos didnt believe this. He thought Harmony just wanted to keep
this power to herself which made him more envious. He pressed on and on;
again and again but Harmony cant answer his brothers queries.
This irritated Chaos. He thought to himself, if I cant have your powers,
then maybe I should just increase mine. Surely then, I can do the things you can
perhaps maybe even better.
He called for the Darkness. I want more power! He shouted towards the
edge of the universe. Show yourself and give me what I want.
Frankly the Darkness realized a change in the playful boys temperament.
It found him somewhat demanding and arrogant. It had no plans to give him
more power but Harmonys light kept the Darkness from doing anything. The
light is slowly draining the Darkness being and it scared it.
If the girls new powers is rooted from herself, then maybe The
Darkness mustered a plan. He appeared in front of Chaos offering a deal. The
Darkness is to hide inside the boy and in return, Chaos will have all the power
the Darkness could give.
Chaos relentlessly agreed. He housed the Darkness inside him protecting it
from the blinding light and he himself began to feel more powerful.
