Author's Note: This was originally posted on ACC (my username on there is squaremonkey), but I decided to post it here as well. The rest of the story has nothing to do with the prologue.

I love this story. :D Enjoy!

Prologue

The world below was in chaos. Gangs of animals rioted in the streets, food was hoarded by the few wealthy while children starved in their mothers' arms, and the land was torn to useless, barren pieces.

A tall figure, standing somewhere above the world, could only watch in horror as the animals tore each other apart. "I... I don't understand," he murmured, almost to himself. "I gave them the perfect world, the perfect life. How could they throw all that away?"

Another figure, identically tall and powerful, stepped out of the shadows and stood beside the first. She also watched the destroyed globe, but with an air of satisfaction.

"Your way didn't work," she smugly pointed out, and, with a wave of her hand, wiped clean the rubble until the world below was as grassy and as beautifully empty as when they started. Thus finished, she turned to him once more, her features hard. He continued to watch raptly as the earth turned, patiently waiting to be filled with creatures.

"Your way didn't work," she repeated. "I told you that perfection wouldn't work. I told you, again and again, that they needed hardship. But, of course, why would you listen to me?"

The man began to move his hands over the globe, muttering under his breath and taking no notice of the livid woman next to him. "Separate them... maybe in seclusion they will be able to appreciate their gifts..." As he moved his hands, cliffs rose along the landscape, dividing the terrain into equal portions.

She slapped her hand onto his, stopping his creation. "Listen to me!" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I told you that perfection couldn't work! And you still can't understand why, can you? Because life isn't perfect! Your idea of a perfect Animal Crossing was nice and all, but was incredibly naive! The beings you create crave a struggle. If we don't provide one, they'll try to make one themselves! And then we'll end up with what I just removed!"

He glared back at her. "You may be right, but giving them the power to consciously destroy each other is not the way to satisfy their appetite for violence!"

"Well, brother, as we just saw, nothing destroys quite as fast as your perfect world!" With those hateful words, she waved her hand and a group of humans appeared on the globe.

"What are they?" he asked in a tone of disgust and disapproval.

"Seeders," she replied tauntingly, "with the power to change and destroy the towns you've just created."

He strode off angrily into the limitless shadows, pausing only to throw these words over his shoulder:

"I'll leave you to your destruction. But just remember this: You can only reap the seeds you sow."
