In the beginning, the world was a living tapestry of unparalleled beauty and harmony. Lush, verdant foliage enveloped the landscape, with towering trees whose branches were heavy with vibrant, succulent fruits. The air was filled with the heavy scent of blooming flowers, their colours a reminder of nature's brilliance. Crystal-clear streams meandered through the expanse, their waters sparkling in the sunlight and providing a soothing melody of gentle ripples.
Birds of every type flew through the firmament, their songs bringing life to the empty skies. Exotic animals, unafraid and at peace, roamed freely, their coats gleaming under the warm sun.
Everywhere you looked, life thrived in perfect balance. It was not just a place, but a living, breathing paradise, a sanctuary of eternal tranquillity and untouched natural splendour.
At the centre of it all stood a single individual, an entity known to all mankind as the father of humanity.
Under a towering tree atop a hill, he stood tall and statuesque, his muscular frame a testament to both strength and grace. His skin was a rich, warm brown, glowing with vitality. His eyes, a striking shade of grey, held a depth and intensity that captivated those who gazed into them. Ebony hair, thick and flowing, framed his face, highlighting his chiselled features. His jawline was strong and defined, giving him an air of both ruggedness and refinement. His very presence exuded an essence of primordial beauty and strength.
This was Adam, the first man, and God's image.
He rested his back on the tree, biting into a fruit as he stared into the distance, watching over everything. Then he sensed a disturbance in the air as space began to contort, revealing a small golden portal.
He looked at it with interest but his eyes showed no emotions.
Out of it came an angel with majestic wings of silver and sapphire; he had a serious expression as he exchanged glances with God's reflection.
"Adam."
"Gabriel."
That's all they said as they stared each other down.
"How is Chayyliel doing?" Adam asked.
"Your master is doing just fine, but there are more pressing matters ahead." Gabriel responded.
"Is there a problem God cannot solve?" Adam questioned.
Gabriel hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Yes, I suppose this is a problem he cannot solve by himself." He answered.
"Then I can assume, the two brothers have finally pushed each other to the limit." Adam said.
Gabriel simply nodded.
"That's why we're gathering the mortal kings, and what are they without their strongest member?"
He then bore a smile, hoping that the strongest mortal would join their cause.
"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Adam said rhetorically.
"I thought you'd like to say your goodbyes before leaving."
Gabriel said while pointing at a silhouette a distance away.
"Well, I never knew you were so thoughtful." Adam joked.
He then walked off to his significant other, indicating that he won't take long with a simple hand gesture.
"Hmm, my sister was never one for manners; I guess that also rubbed off on him aside from that lust for battle." He said to himself.
Adam ran through the lush forests and grasses before finding her. Eve was on her own, picking berries for a midday snack when suddenly something heavy tackled her to the ground with a gentle hug.
