Predetermine

Prologue:

When the universe was created, four gods and goddesses were born to protect the balance of the universe: Terra the God of Earth, Aquas the Goddess of Water, Ardrlin the God of Fire and Symplis the Goddess of Wind. Yet together, they can't bear to be in one place with each other. The universe began to tip; imbalance and life began to die. The universe responded by creating another god it believes could create a balance for the order; what better way to balance the universe by creating a god controlling two elements?

Thus, the God of Light and Darkness, Reimei was born.

The older deities were furious with the universe's decision, choosing with their consent but they couldn't retaliate when it was the universe was just as old as them, and so they watch the young god performing the duty the universe have created him to do.

The younger god was just as the universe wanted to be, order was immediately restored with his power and new life began to form in the world. Small signs of life appeared and soon evolved over time and humans soon appeared.

Needless to say the other gods were jealous of the young one's powers. The ability of controlling two elements is their dream and the younger god using them with ease only increased that jealously. For the first time in the universe's history the gods and goddesses came together and plotted a conspiracy behind the young god's back as he carefully kept the balance of the universe in check.

However, Reimei was not as oblivious as they think; the shadows were his eyes and ears. They were also his comfort from the treatment the other gods have given him. Whatever the gods were going to do to him, he was prepared. If he was going to be framed, he shall drag the other gods down with him. The shadows shall be his witness to their demise along with the universe-their creator and father of everything.

The awaited day wasn't long as Reimei predicted but the force the young god to the trial of treason rebelling the universe with false but hard evidence against him. Many false witnesses gave their stories of secretly helping the young god only because he promised them death if they were not to comply. The universe was shook beyond reason and the gods look down at him with suppressed glee in their eyes. His punishment was that his body and soul would be separated. His soul will be split in half – one soul devoid of darkness and the other will be devoid of light but before they manage to split Reimei's soul, the young god laughed for the first time since he was born.

His power were strong enough to destroy the binds the gods have placed him with his powers began pulling the other gods and goddesses souls from their bodies. The young god vowed: "One day we shall meet again when my halves are reunited again and all of you shall die by your own jealous desires."

One-by-one the gods cursed at the young one before they fell on heaven's floor as their soul were sucked away from their bodies and dragged down to the land of life and Reimei's fragmented soul was the last to be reincarnated.

The universe mourned for the heaven's loss and feared Reimei's wrath. The kind god it created fell into the cycle of hate just as the others have had. So it devised a cycle for all the gods: all their reincarnations shall die before they meet and before their powers are at it's peak. That way, the gods were to never return to the heavens ever again and the cycle will repeat itself over and over again until the end of time…but destiny was not so convinced with the universe's doing. As the God of Light and Darkness vowed, they will meet again, one day. For now, the universe could only watch and wait.

Sixteen years ago…

"No!" a woman in labor as the doctors franticly tried to strap her down. She had been wailing for the past twenty-four hours and the doctors and nurses have been trying to calm her down and reasoned with her that the child couldn't be a monster. "He's a monster! My child must not be born!"

"He's your child," a nurse tried reasoning. The woman's eyes flashed a wild look, already half-mad from the pain.

"I will not give birth to a monster!" she gritted with clenched teeth. "I rather die first." The doctor who has been by her side since the labor started, shook his head, finally seeing there was no possible way to reason with her anymore and ordered a caesarean section performed on her. The woman's eyes widen, terrified and wailed as she was taken away, still wailing for them not to go along with the operation.

It was then an hour later a child was born and the mother died along the way. The doctor looked down at the infant with small strands of blonde hair and blue eyes looking back at him with curiosity.

"The mother has no other living relatives," the nurse informed him. "Shall we sent him to the orphanage?" The doctor nodded.

"What is the child's name," the doctor asked.

"The mother didn't name the child," the nurse informed. "She died once she delivered him." The doctor soaked in the information he was given.

"Roxas," the doctor finally said. The nurse eyed him suspiciously. "The infant's name will be Roxas."

"Are you sure?" the nurse asked.

"Would you rather have it being called a monster?" The doctor questioned. The nurse's eyes flashed sorrow and nodded.

"I'll get the forms," the nurse responded, walking away.

Author's Rambling: How did this story get started? I blame my lazy English teacher for her retarded vocabulary short stories we have to write. This was supposed to be an entirely different story but my mind chose otherwise. –Glares- Stupid brain.

And I'm not good with hospital scenes as you all can see. Review anyways and tell me how do you feel about this story.
