Hi there! SatanPie here with another story based on the beginning of the DxD universe. It focuses around the light and darkness, their constant clashing to see which of the two come out on top. Anyway, I cannot tell you anymore about this story, for I want it to be a surprise.
On with the story!
In the beginning, before anything ever existed, there was the light and the darkness. These two primordial elements were the first things to ever exist, in the void where they were located, each of them constantly battled to see which of the two would come out as the winner. Though they never could defeat one another due to their infiniteness. After they realised that they couldn't defeat their polar opposite, they began to work together - to create a balance between light and darkness, to slowly create the whole multiverse as we know it.
"Everything is made out of another thing." is a somewhat true phrase, it applies to everything other than the two primordial elements that we mentioned earlier. However, there was a certain rule that most of the supernatural knew, when energy collides, it forms another being. It forms a being that is less powerful than its parents, though has the abilities of its parents. This was the case for Balance, the first primordial entity. Born from the light and darkness' repeated clashing.
Ever since the being was formed, it was told by its parents to maintain the balance in the multiverse, and it did just that. Balance was very powerful, thought not omnipotent. There were limits to its power though, for example, it couldn't stance a chance against its parents, and it couldn't manifest itself into a physical body due to the fact that it controlled the balance. If it was to manifest itself into a physical body, it would be disrupting the balance of the physical and psychological beings. Anything that would disrupt any kind of balance is something that it cannot do (to a certain extent).
Due to these kinds of limits, Balance had to take the form of something that was neither psychological or physical - aura. Aura was neither of the two and was used by Balance so that it could 'enjoy' the universe. Balance was also responsible for manipulating light and darkness, giving it to every physical thing. It witnessed the creation of the Gods and the other primordial entities. Some of these entities include Ophis, Great Red, Trihexa and the different kinds of elements.
Balance was the one that greeted all of the new creations, telling them their purpose and what they were supposed to do in life. It felt nothing, no emotions at all. It didn't care for its parents as it couldn't, it had no feelings. It was more devoid of emotions than Ophis, and that's something to say.
All of the other entities respected Balance, and it respected them. It saw every being as a respectable creature, even those that were lower than it. It created several worlds and dimensions for its parents to breath life into, some of these include the Dimensional Gap, Heaven, Hell and the most inhabitable planet in the universe, Earth.
After a few eternities floating around in the universe, it grew bored, surprisingly. The first thing that it had felt since its creation, boredom. It began to teleport around the universe until it couldn't find anything that could cure its boredom. It really was shocking that it could live for several eternities without boredom - any normal being would become bored of their lives if they couldn't interact with most things.
This is what sparked the creation of the Angels and Devils. Along with the rest of the Dragons and supernatural beings. It also created human life, and gave a message to all of the primordial entities to not get involved with the three main dimensions that it had created. All of them agreed, showing their respect for Balance.
It thanked them and then disappeared into the darkness, observing what the humans and supernatural would do. It quickly noticed that the Gods were taking action by making new territories for their own lands.
Quickly, one by one, the two original factions grew into multiple factions and mythologies, something that Balance was expecting. It wanted to see its creations expand and develop into more powerful beings.
As he was watching the worlds develop, he felt a familiar presence next to him. It was Darkness, Balance's father, the only one other than Light that could enter its dimension.
"What do you want, father?" asked Balance, still facing his creations.
"This is a beautiful place that you have made. But, skipping to the point, I have noticed your boredom, so I have been waiting to ask you what was wrong." replied Darkness.
"I have been alive for eternities, serving no purpose other than to maintain balance in this beautiful universe. I want to know what it is like to experience life like my creations, though I cannot. I must keep control of balance, and it makes me bored. I want to have a true purpose in life. To have free will is what I desire." said Balance, answering Darkness' worries. Balance said this with a sigh, further depicting his boredom.
"I have also often wondered what it is like to live like a human. I have been here since the beginning, just like Light. We often clashed, and you were the result, the first thing to come into existence after us. Before that, we were the ones that maintained the balance. We can do it again, but we shall decide in an indefinite time when you must come back and do your task. We will notify you exactly two years prior to your leaving." replied Darkness, who disappeared back to an unknown location. Balance nodded, and for the second time in its life, it felt another emotion, happiness.
It quickly manifested a physical form of itself, a male twelve-year-old boy called Issei Hyodou with scruffy brown hair and a casual set of clothes.
"This looks good enough." said Balance, quickly disintegrating himself and repositioning himself in a shrine filled with darkness. Balance could only teleport to places with either light or darkness, which was pretty much everything in the universe.
"Now I can enjoy life to its fullest." Issei said, with a grin on his face, walking outside of the shrine to meet a young girl and another girl dressed in kimonos. They both looked identical, except the first girl was shorter than the second. The main difference between the two was that the second one was taller and had bigger.. assets...
That's the end of the prologue, I hope you enjoyed this story. I thought it up during a particulary long episode of writing block.
You should also know who the last two people in the story are (the ones at the end of this chapter).
I hope you all have a great day, and before you ask, no, I will not make Balance participate in any fights except the fights that involve the last two people in this chapter.
(Balance acts like a father figure or an older brother figure towards them, even though both of them are older than Balance's human form.)
Thank you all for reading! :)
Any reviews and feedback appreciated.
