[ Creators ]

Chapter 8

            Over the brief amount of time the girl took refuge in that World, she discovered one other crucial detail that set it apart from other places: Conflict. From a distance, she would watch the rather intense battles between good and evil unfold. People got hurt, the city would be damaged, but folks still rejoiced when the heroes prevailed.

What a curious story this Creator had written.

And she wished to be a part of it.

We must remember that she was a child, and believed she had been permitted to use this World as her home base. (Even if she hadn't met the Creator behind it...yet.)

Believe it or not, the girl had been studying the ways of Creation before she was separated from her people. Using her knowledge, she crafted an Incarnate who would act as both a companion to her and a hero to those that needed her. The Creation looked very similar to her: brown hair, green eyes, but the creation had also been given animal-like features, as that seemed to be a design trend in that World. She was also given a backstory that would end up intertwining with one of the local heroes.

And this Creation's name was Uriel.

Uriel would allow the girl to communicate with the locals, as she didn't speak their native language, and would escort her away from any situation that might endanger her.

One day, Uriel and the girl were playing together in the forest with some paper and crayons.

"Ok, pay attention, Koto! This is how you write your name in my language!"

The girl, who's apparently named Koto, nodded in response. Uriel wrote down her name with a blue crayon, "K-O-T-O. Koto!" Koto smiled and proceeded to write down Uriel's name in her native writing.

"Uhhh- how do you say that??"

"Uriel."

"U-ehereeheleh"

"Wooooah...that's so cool!"

Koto smirked.

"Oh, you 'know' huh? Well- KNOW THIS! RAAAWR!" Uriel tackled Koto and started to tickle her, causing quite a ruckus. To the point where their laughing fit woke up the Creator of the World...

Straus.

That day, Straus had been peacefully taking a nap until he heard a faint laughing coming from his world orb. He sleepily got up and took a look inside. Uriel and Koto were still having their tickle fight.

"' Stop?!' Say 'Uncle' first!... You 'can't breathe!?'" Uriel stopped the assault to let Koto catch her breath. She wasn't hurt, she just needed a moment. "Sorry, dude...I guess I don't know my strength..." Koto looked at Uriel, and after a moment Uriel seemed sad. "No, I don't think 'it's ok'! I don't wanna hurt you-!" Before she could feel guilty for a simple game, Koto got up and patted her head. This relaxed both of them and made them happy.
