Life's power booms. The surge is felt across the entirety of the universe, every realm and by all beings and people alike. Each entity, from Heaven to Hell, from Time and Night, and their Endless children, feel Life's power. They all look to the source, to the Void, and shiver.
Except for Dream of the Endless, he merely smiles sadly at the familiar feel of his lover, silently wishing her luck in her endeavours, whatever they are.
Life smiles as she walks across a field of lush green grass, brightly lit despite the black Void swirling above it. Her arms extend, and another burst of power explodes from her body, and flowers, plants and trees, never seen in creation, sprout at the edge of the field and expand as far as the eye can see.
The immortal beings of the universe shiver again, wondering, terrified, what Life is up to.
Destiny looks through his book, finding nothing, much to the irritation of the Kindly Ones, whose conversation Life interrupted with her demonstration of power.
Life laughs with glee, "I did it. I did it!" She jumps around, coming to a stop when she realises she's alone, her mood souring slightly. She ponders on the decisions she has made since her imprisonment, annoyed that, in a way, she's still playing by the rules made by the beings who want to see her fail.
Old habits die hard. Life supposed. But what could she do? Realistically, anything. But at what cost?
She could continue to play by the rules or make her own. Life is leaning towards the latter, as following theirs had already cost her a relationship with the one she loves.
Life freezes, the realisation making her mind race. I love him. Fuck. I love him.
Her mood sours even more as she thinks about how they left things and how to fix them. Though- she supposed she already knew how to fix it. But how much would change? Did she care about the inevitable repercussions she would have to deal with from the Kindly Ones and Destiny?
No, not particularly.
She feels a strange pull in her being, confusing her until flapping wings reach her ears.
So that's what it feels like when someone enters my realm.
"Hello, Matthew." She lifts her hand slowly, a tree growing from the ground next to her, stopping at her shoulder so the raven will be eye to eye with her when he lands on one of the three branches.
"Hey, Life. How you doin'?"
Life smiles at the raven as he shuffles awkwardly on the branch, eyeing the purple leaves attached to it. "I'm well. What brings you to my realm?"
"Your realm? Is this what all those bursts of power were for? To make your own realm?"
"Yes. Why? What did people think it was?"
"The end of existence."
Life laughs at that, the veins in the purple leaves glowing gold in response to its creator's amusement. Life looks at Matthew fondly, "You didn't answer my question, Matthew. Why are you here?"
"Boss has gone to have dinner with his siblings, and I was bored, so I thought I'd see what you're up to. And I was just wondering when you and the boss will make up." Matthew shuffles around and bows his head, feeling like he overstepped some boundaries. "He's been... upset since you left."
Life hums and clenches her fists, letting a beat of silence sit as she figures out what she wants to say, "I've been somewhat set in my ways, Matthew."
He looks at her confused, wondering where she's going with this, "How'd you mean?"
"I've changed so much over the years, and yet I still... I'm still abiding by rules that don't apply to me. I'm not sure what I'm doing, to be honest."
"What happens if you don't play by the rules?" The raven tilts his head.
"Certain beings will attempt to tell me off." Life smiles in amusement, knowing, as annoying as it would be, it wouldn't make a difference in what she does.
The raven stares at her, "Seems like you already know what you want to do."
Life nods and smiles at him, "I do. You're a good listener, Matthew. You're welcome to stay in my realm as long as you wish."
"Oh, thank you, my Lady." Matthew awkwardly bows, making Life chuckle.
"There's no need for that, Matthew."
"Right, okay, sorry. Oh."
Life raises an eyebrow at the raven, suddenly understanding what's wrong when she senses a second presence within Matthew.
"Boss is back." Matthew groans, "And wondering where I am."
The corner of Life's lips tilts up into a small smile, amused and unbothered as she has already blocked Dream's sight of her, allowing Matthew to choose to tell Dream about his visit.
Matthew sighs, "I should probably go. It was good seeing you, Life."
Life smiles fully this time, "And you, Matthew. You're always welcome in my realm. Visit any time you like."
"T-Thank you."
Matthew flaps his wings and takes to the sky, wanting to leave as quickly as possible so he doesn't have a chance to embarrass himself, knowing full well that if he could blush, he would have.
My realm. Life smiles at the thought, letting her power build once more. What should I add next?
