Prologue(Kinda)

Floating aimlessly, in a dark space there roams a young man with black hair and dark skin, he is pretty good looking and has a quite slender physique.

This young man is but a lost soul that is no longer alive, yet neither is he dead. He's just another one of the many who will simply float to non-existence, not even leaving his memory behind for those who've known him.

It is indeed a sad destiny, but it's also inevitable, there's no longer saving a soul that has reached this place. A place that is nothing but a gamble of the one who rules it and even the luckiest souls will most likely lose in its hands.

"Another one has fallen, whatever begins has to end." The words of the great being that governs all darkness have fallen and as if a judgment, they are absolute.

"One that has passed through the cycle of reincarnation for so long, no longer has a place in the world of the living." The great being continued speaking even though there's no one to listen since the soul in case is currently unconscious.

"Child, I hope you understand, that those like you will all have the same end." Once again the great being said, now ready to dispose of the soul.

Then the place that was filled with darkness before now became a world full of lights as many other souls appeared in the dark space and ranged from human to the most unusual creatures. Each and every one of them shining bright like stars in a beautiful night, some shine brighter and others dimer, but as to what that means only the great being knows.

"All of you have faced the harshest and the softest of life, good and bad times, love and hate, family and loneliness, beauty and ugliness. But right now you're once more at your peak, the best you have ever been, thus the best state for your existence to end." With a very honorable expression the great being moved its hands together and the shining souls began to slowly fade away unaware of what's happening to them, since they are all unconscious.

"Wait!" At that moment a voice reached the great being, and of course, it could only be a being of the same level or at least very close in order to do so.

The great being who was in the midst of erasing the souls that no longer had a place in the world of the living had to interrupt the process, because of this uninvited guest, which resulted in all of the souls reigning the part of themselves that had already disappeared, since the process of erasing them, only has effect once completed.

"What is it that you want? Is it really something of enough importance for you to interrupt the {Sacred End}?" The great being said frustrated by this rude interruption after all this is a very important ritual that only happens once in a trillion years since the beginning of the creation.

"This is so unfair! I know that everyone else agrees with this but I don't! It's too heartless to not even give them some kind of chance, instead of just erasing them while they slumber like this! They might be just some mortals, but it's our fault they are bound to the rules WE made!" The uninvited guest that interrupted the great being said as pity could be seen in its eyes as it looked at all those mortal souls.

"JUST WHAT KIND OF MORON ARE YOU?!.... Do you even understand how complex and how much {ether} is involved in it? I understand that as the Goddess of Love and Life you pity them but you must not forget that mortals are greedy and unruly, if we gave them a choice or even simply permission to speak they would spout nonsense about how we have no right to chose for them and will never accept death, even those too cowardly to fight back will only make things worse. What you are asking for has been done before, and the consequences are still evident in all of creation if we don't do this, all of creation will perish. Even if you don't understand us, you have no say in this matter, you're only a high Ancient Goddess after all." The great being yelled obviously enraged by this Goddess' behavior which is endangering everything that exists, for some mere mortal souls.

Hearing these words the Goddess couldn't help but to be hurt, after all, her feelings are of much higher proportions than those of the mortals, bound to loving every existing create and to suffer for them, like a mother who's only allowed to watch her children suffer eternally, without being able to do a thing about it.

"But father! I-"

"SILENCE!"

The Goddess tried to argue with the great being who is her father but was immediately told to shut up. Receiving such a treatment from her father for the first time, the goddess couldn't help but let tears out, it's not that she's weak but her emotions are simply too strong if it were a moral handling even 1% of it, the soul of that mortal would fall into madness and maybe even absolute death.

*Sigh* the great being sighed seeing his daughter cry. "You know, your mother did the exact same thing when she was in your position, but that just proved that these mortals can no longer be saved, no matter how hard we tried, in the end, this was the only way." the great being said with a saddened expression that is very different from the angry one from before.

"That might have been true before, but I'm sure that if we keep trying, there will be a way" The Goddess refused to accept this fate for those poor souls.

"There's no other way! You have to accept that!" The great being wasn't going to let his daughter live in fantasies, as a Goddess she has to accept the cruel reality.

"We don't know that!" The Goddess continued persistent while the tears fall from her eyes, that instead of sadness carry determination.

"Of course we do! This is the only way! It has always been and will always be!" The great being is just as stubborn if not more than it's daughter.

"So your said solution is to keep sacrificing souls to buy more time, so that we can then continue sacrificing more soul?! How will that help?! What we are doing is nothing more than delaying the inevitable, even if you're a greater being, even you can't keep all of creation together! What we are doing will eventually stop working and all these sacrifices will be for nothing if we don't try to find a way to solve this, rather than hiding from the problem by sacrificing these mortals that have nothing to do with this! We have to find a solution!" The Goddess said very determined to stop this endless and useless cycle of sacrifices.

As trillions of endless seeming souls were sacrificed each and every time.

"..... You..... * sigh* you're too much like her! Hahaha! And just like her, you're usually right." Hearing his daughter's words and seeing how much they resemble something her mother would say, he could only give up and try something new. After all, what his daughter said is the truth, they can't delay the end forever and once it comes these sacrifices would become meaningless. Letting out a good laugh the great being petted his daughter happily and proudly.

"Dad! It's not the time or place for this kind of thing! Also, mom always said that even though you have a thick head you're pretty easy going once that's gone, so the hardest part is over." The Goddess said embarrassed by how her father treated her, regardless of the matter they are discussing.

Hearing these words the great being didn't know how to stand and almost lost balance, he was disheartened by those words but kept his composure while questioning, if he really is that easy-going.

"*cough* Anyway, if you said all that you already must have a plan right?" the great being coughed out of the embarrassment and changed the subject back to serious talk.

"Yes, I wish to send all the souls to the {endless time world}. I know of the dangers but at least that way they get to fight for their destiny and that is the only place we higher being can't enter, so the missing ***** can only be there." The Goddess said very sure of what she's saying.

"It seems you didn't only want to save them, you also properly studied the situation. Yes, indeed the {endless time world} is the only place we haven't searched, because of the *************** and thus that is the only possible place where the ***** could be, but it's not a simple task to survive in the {endless time world} and even more for powerless mortals like these souls, despite the fact that there are some safe places it's hard to say if any of them would succeed and even if they did, mortals can't come in contact with the *****, even ancient gods such as you my daughter have a hard time with it." The great being said since if it was as easy as sending mortals there, it would have been done long ago.

"Yes, that's indeed all true but we have no other choice but to try this and give all the souls a blessing and hope for good results." The Goddess said still full of confidence.

"You really trust mortals too much. Well, at least that's better than slowly waiting for the end with no other plans, I'm sure the others will cause a commotion when they hear of this, but like mortals say 'things have to eventually change' or something like that. I'll trust my daughter's judgment and try this out." the great being said with a tired expression that could only show that he was also completely out of this and can only put his hope on the next generation as the old man he is.

"Thanks, dad!" The Goddess hugged her father with a cute smile that made the old man happier than he has been for the few last millenniums.

After that father and daughter discussed the rest of the minor details and how they will explain the situation to the others, and just like that all the souls were carefully prepared to be sent to the {endless time world}.
