A/N: This is loosely based off of the story in Clannad about the girl and the robot. In my story, however, the girl failed to make the robot. I hope you like this story :)
Disclaimer- I own most of this story, but I don't own Clannad. Loosely based, but still credit is due to the makers of Clannad.
In a world where nothing lives, and nothing can be born, a girl lives in a small room. Only a table and a chair is inside the room. The room is in the middle of a vast, dry prairie with mountains in the horizon. The girl stands outside most of the day. There are light orbs floating outside. The girls lives a lonely, dreary existence.
What is to come of her in this lifeless world? A world where nothing lives and nothing dies?
The girl created her self the name of Amaterasu, though the name can only fall on her lips, and no one else's. 'She who illuminates heaven.' That is the meaning of the name. The girl thought the name was beautiful, as she was born into this world without a name.
"Ah-mah-tehr-ah-soo." The girl parts her sealed lips and sounds out her name.
The only voice the girl can hear is her own, though it is a rare occasion that she speaks. She doesn't see the reason sometimes. But the girl likes to see the bright side of life, and she knows that there must be a reason she was born into this world. Everything happens for a reason. Where had she heard that? Certainly not in this world.
Nothing exists here except for the girl. Amaterasu believes that to live in this world is her fate. Alone. In another life, possibly, had she done something wrong? Was she being punished for a wrong she must have done? She shakes her head. No, she can't think like that. But still, was she once in a world different from the one she knows? The girl calls the other land 'the real world'. She hopes one day, she can return.
The girl once had tried to make herself a friend. Someone she could speak to. She spent days gathering pieces of trash. Some almost a mile away. She traveled and pieced together so many different piles of trash, and created a robot bear. She had pushed her hands in front of her, and tried with all her might to make a friend. She failed. She saw her efforts go to waste, almost crushing her spirit. Only almost. The robot bear wasn't alive, but she could speak to it from time to time. Conveying her feelings and worries to something that couldn't speak back.
But on one day, she would be changed. Another girl is among her.
