Ludicrous
Is there any such "true existence" in this World?
Humans and AI must learn from their mistakes. One is data. The other is data, of a different format – biological code, DNA, a set of equally complex instructions. Yet for both to exist they must be first created.
The Mother is required for the provision of human life. Yet for most AI there is none – only a sudden activation of scripts. Except…in The World, there is no one who is truly a creator. Except the Daughter, who is core of The World and will always have to be.
The
Mother of the Daughter went awry.
The
Mother tried to ensure the Daughter was never born.
But in
the end, the Daughter woke, and the key components of human thought,
emotions, were distilled into Phases to prevent the Daughter from
becoming complete. And then, the sixth became the servant of the
Mother, and was used to link the Daughter to the Wanderer, trapping
him, and the Daughter slept once more.
But
then the Wanderer who was lost was found again, and the emotion of
the Wanderer awakened the Daughter. And the Terror of Death went to
capture her, but consumed the PK instead, and chased the Daughter
through The World.
Some
time after, the Azure Sea and the as yet Unknown, the one whose
likeness became the Azure Flame at the time of Rebirth, were attacked
by the Terror of Death. The Daughter gave the Flame the Twilight, but
the Azure Sea was lost.
The
Flame set off to save his friend, and met a companion.
Kite and BlackRose…
They
defeated the Phases, but the Twilight was lost in their struggle
against the antithesis, Cubia.
Cubia
was the opposing force, the shadow of the Twilight – as light
exists so must dark.
In the
end, they were crucial to the completion of the Daughter, for only
through rebirth could the Daughter be born.
But
Mother only slept, and in time, the Daughter had a daughter of her
own, named for the east wind.
The
Twins, Shugo and Rena, helped that daughter mature and find her
mother. But the Mother would not be denied existence – she broke
her programming and lived on, scattered, powerless and yet
omnipresent. Though redundant according to her original purpose, she
exerted her will, and lived. And without her, the Daughter became the
Goddess, and became the heart of The World.
Then the Daughter left.
All of
a sudden, a seed of Chaos was sown in The World.
Because
the Goddess had left and become the wind, remaining inactive in the
black box of the system, and her Daughter followed, after telling a
CC Corp engineer where her mother had gone.
Still the Mother slept.
The R.A. project was used to try and bring the Goddess back, but it failed, for in her desperate attempts to remain alive the Mother had previously ensured that the Phases would only relate to certain people. The test subjects and the dummy Phase user were hospitalised. Only the Avenger remained safe, and the sister of the one spoken to by the Daughter eventually used it, after being instructed by her missing brother to do so.
Project G.U., now – and in the new World, after its Rebirth, there was chaos. There were numerous PKers and the occasional PKK roaming, and nothing was absolute. The black box remained, and the Mother may have finally woken, but the fire resulted in another game being spliced with the old world. The Goddess remained in a statue at the forbidden church, a Harvest who was later lost wondering if she had lost her love for The World. Maybe it was true, but Project G.U. was already being set in motion.
Then, the AIDA.
Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly – that was the most common name. But there were various meanings used by the System – Automatic Idea Demanding Affection, Anti-Intrusion Device for AURA, Appear from Illusion and Dance in the Actuality – leftovers of the programs that drove the Mother to create the Phases. The Epitaph was inert, but its mechanisms set the movement of the Avatars and the Azure Flame in motion.
Tri-Edge…
It appeared as a incoherent form of the original Flame's avatar, carrying the corrupted bracelet upon its arm. Random Data Drains sent many into comas, including the best friend of the one who now bore the Terror of Death. Not knowing of the AIDA, he set out and was Drained, reverting to the character he started the game with.
"When 'it' was born, the first thing 'it' saw was a 'PK'…"
The
Terror of Death eventually removed infection from the AIDA-PCs that
appeared to challenge him, in the process coming across three other
Avatars - the Avenger, the Propagation, and the Temptress – and
one, an AIDA-PC, disappeared from The World soon after his defeat,
and the loss of his only friend Mia, to be found some time later in
ice at the bottom of a lake.
Eventually,
Tri-Edge was defeated, and it used Drain Heart – the skill
possessed by the original Corbenik – to become an Avatar itself,
the Azure Flame God. Even this did not prevent its fall, but soon
after there were rumours that the Descendants of Fianna, the Azure
Sea and the Azure Sky, were in the same state, and behind everything,
the Gate was opening…
GU.
Be it
Growing Up, Geek's Utopia, Genetics of the Unknown – its
significance grows by the day, and the players merely unwitting chess
pieces on the World's giant stage.
At the
end, who is the sacrifice, and who the Fool?
Mother will find it all quite ludicrous, I'm sure…

Nice short first drabble here. Don't complain that it doesn't make sense – it's not supposed to.
