60 years earlier to present time…
"I'm sorry Niúmówáng" Kaishi said sadly. "I know you've always wanted to have kids and I have too but I am unable to have children" She said sadly.
"There's more to it, isn't there?" Ox said. Kaishi looked away. "What is it Kaishi?" Ox asked.
"I'm only telling you this because you are my koi. You know that I am not of this world and that I am a goddess" She said. Ox nodded.
"I…There has been a Prophecy for as long as I can remember" She said. "We both know I am not as young as I look for I have lived many centuries" Again, Ox nodded. "I was brought into this world with the weight of the Universe forever over my head and cursed for the rest of my immortal life to never be with child until the Prophecy shall be fulfilled" She said.
"What's the Prophecy?" Ox asked gently as he sat across from her.
"When the Universe loses all sense of balance and is tearing itself apart, the chosen one shall be born to silence all chaos, ending all in existence to restore balance. You can guess that I have been with many lovers and have thankfully not gotten pregnant. Though I wish I were able to have a child, I cannot if the Universe is to go on" She said.
"That's horrible" Ox sighed. "Do not worry Kaishi, my beautiful Japanese Goddess. All will be well" Kaishi leant into his embrace.
"Oh Niúmówáng" She said, using his Chinese birth name. Only she was given that privilege. "I love you so much" She said.
"As I love you Kaishi. As I love you"
56 years earlier to present time…
Ox jumped as he heard his Megami scream. He ran through the castle and to their room where he saw the bathroom door closed.
"Kaishi?" Ox called uncertainly.
"Niúmówáng" She replied back through the door before she opened it. Ox saw she had puffy red eyes from crying and they were still red.
"Kaishi?" He asked again. She bit her lip. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Niúmówáng…I'm pregnant" She whispered.
9 months later…
Kaishi looked down at her new daughter and smiled. She had a tuff of dark purple hair on her head that could be mistaken as black. Her eyes were a bit lighter bit still pretty dark in the middle with a lighter purple rim.
"She's beautiful" Ox whispered from by her side.
"She is" Kaishi murmured. She felt herself fading. She had fulfilled her purpose and now she was to return to the Other World with all the other gods and goddess's.
"What will her name be?" The midwife asked. Kaishi and Ox looked at each other.
"What were you thinking?" Ox asked.
"Shizukena. Shizuka for short" Kaishi answered.
"What does it mean?" Ox asked. He didn't know Japanese so his wife had to speak Chinese for him.
"It means Serenity, Serene, Tranquillity and Silence" Kaishi said. Ox's eyes softened. "What about you?" She asked.
"Xinxin" He said.
"Faith?" Kaishi asked. He nodded.
"Xinxin no Shizuka Mao" Ox said. Kaishi nodded.
"Serene faith" She whispered. "Would you like to hold her?" Ox nodded and she handed Xinxin to him. She watched as they bonded instantly. Xinxin was a silent one. She just laid there, staring up at her parents, watching and observing. She was going to be a handful when she was older. She'd be quick witted and strong, he knew.
"I love you Niúmówáng…" She murmured as she closed her eyes. "You too Shizuka" Her body started fading.
"No, Kaishi!" Ox bellowed.
"Take care Koibito" She whispered. "And watch out for Shizuka. She is destined for a life on loneliness. She will suffer most of her life if not all but you must change that and give her a good life" They both looked at Xinxin. Her hair was turning black as well as her eyes.
"When the Universe enters utter turmoil and disasters strike one after another, her powers will unlock and be unleashed to silence all. She will go into a coma as her body reassembles itself with her powers. During this time, the moon and all the other planets and moons will line up with the sun meaning an Eclipse will take place and the Earth will be cast into darkness. During this time, many corrupted beings will seek her out and attempt to harness her powers for their own selfish pleasures. You can't allow that to happen Niúmówáng. No one shall be allowed to salvage her powers for evil purposes. The aftermath of such a thing…I'd much rather not think about. She is the balance Niúmówáng. She judges who lives and who dies in order to balance good and evil. She will destroy planets, kill people and ruin lives but this is what she is and she cannot be stopped once it has begun. Earth may have a chance or it may not. It depends on its people and she will pass judgement once it is time. She is neither good nor bad and is an outcast to all yet cannot be destroyed for if she is, the Universe will destroy itself almost instantaneously. Protect her with your life Niúmówáng and I will protect you both from the heavens above" With one last kiss to both her husband and daughter, she faded to diamond stars and was gone.
"Don't worry Kaishi" Ox muttered as tears ran down his face. "Our daughter will be taken care of"
A quiet whimper came from Xinxin and Ox looked down at her. Her pitch black eyes were filled with tears yet she didn't let out a single cry.
"I'll train her to be a strong fighter so no harm may come to her" He whispered.
