Yo. This is one of my first stories I'm publishing. This is a learning experience for me and I would love some constructive criticism.
I hope you enjoy my story.
Two figures stood in front of a pool of shining crystal water. The pool did not seem to have a source, in fact it looked like it was floating in midair. The figures too looked to be standing on something the eye could not behold.
The first figure, a woman, seemed to be blending into the surrounding darkness. In fact, there was almost no boundary between the two, save for the millions of tiny twinkling lights on her dress and in her hair. The woman's hair seemed to be defying gravity, as if it was caught in an eternal breeze. Holding back part of her bangs was what looked to be a large shining star. On her hip was a large circular ornament. It was a silver color, was fairly worn in places, and shadows slowly consumed it. The hem of her dress, like her hair, faded into the inky black void.
Standing beside her was a man. Where the woman radiated the coolness of night, the man exuded the heat of a mid-summer day. While the darkness seemed to welcome the woman, it shrunk back in fear from the man. His skin was a golden tan, and his clothing rippled as fluffy cotton ball clouds moved along the sky-blue fabric. On the man's belt was a glowing orb that shone brighter than his smile.
While the man's eyes seemed to be made of gold, the woman's eyes were pure silver. Both pairs of eyes shone with omnipotent power. Gold and Silver watched the pool with intense interest.
In the pool images flickered by at an alarming speed. Pictures of people from every time and every dimension. The images were only there for a fraction of a second before disappearing. But despite this the pair seemed to have no trouble keeping up with the pool.
Suddenly the woman's eyes widened and the pool stopped on the image of a baby girl. There was nothing special about this child, she was a normal tiny, squishy, new born baby.
"Her." The woman of darkness spoke. Her voice was smooth and calm.
"You just had to pick a human from a different dimension, didn't you?" the man of light said irritably. "You do realize we protect that dimension at the moment, right?" He pointed towards a small yin-yang symbol.
The starlit figure nodded. "Yes Helios. I do realize that. And when the time is right I will bring my champion over." Helios seemed satisfied with that answer. The woman gave her companion a mischievous smile. "I see you have yet to choose your champion, my dear."
Helios rolled his eyes and replied, "Oh please we both know there are few mortals able to properly wild our powers. And I am perfectly fine with letting you take him." The woman raised an eyebrow at him. "Fine, I'll use him. Selene, you do also realize that granting her the ability to use your power will be just as difficult as transferring her between realms, correct?"
Selene rolled her eyes at this comment. "Of course I realize that, but she is the only mortal strong enough for this. She has real potential, and I would hate to see such potential squandered in a world like that." Then she rested her head on his shoulder, continuing to gaze into the pond, "It's only a matter of time my love. Only a matter of time."
