The Goddess of Darkness

The reason of why I have become a villainess ...

A long time ago, the world was divided into several factions. They were all divided by their race. Each of them thought they were superior from the other, which led to numerous conflicts causing wars and deaths. They did not want to admit defeat, so they fought against one another for several years until an evil being much stronger than any of them appeared.

And that almighty being was the Goddess of Darkness. She wanted to bring darkness to all the lands.

They fought her but failed. They became desperate and, asked the gods for help. After all, what is better to beat a god than several of its kind? However, there was a problem. Due to their arrogance, they dismissed the request of the gods; to abstain from fighting and belittling one another.

Their arrogance brought about their selfishness; to ignore someone's good intentions for their pride, and refusing to listen to their benefactors. This attitude would make people wonder if they had any shame at all, but that is a story for another time.

Despite how displeased the gods were, they chose to help them under certain conditions:

1. They have to stop their hostility against the other races.

2. They shall never ever ignore the gods again,or punishment shall be brought down.

3. They cannot disobey a god without good reason, and it is the god's decision if the reason is valid.

Having left no other options for their survival, the agreement was accepted. Each races were granted a benediction wherein only one of their kind were capable of wielding devastating skills brought about by the powers of the gods. With each race having a blessed representative, equality was brought about.

Once and for all, a team was assembled comprising a blessed individual from every race. They challenged the Goddess of Darkness once again and won. However, not without casualties. They were referred as heroes, and the devastating battle caused them severe injuries. Nonetheless, they cheered for the Goddess of Darkness was no more. However, the words of the gods foretold them that she would return when another major conflict should arise.

Fearful of the fact, the factions united and made peace with one another, heeding the words of the gods. Their unification eradicated racism and discrimination significantly. Many prosperous kingdoms were built under the guidance of the gods. Temples were established to show respect to them, and to worship over their benevolent advices.

"And so, all is well that ends well, right ?" I tilt my head to the side while I close my eyes and smile.

Sighing "We are sorry that you have to bear the burden of being the villain of the story when it's thanks to you that it's ending well." say the one in the middle of the group.

People will not do something without a reason after all. Even if they can reach peace and make everyone happy they will not do it just because they can.

Helping others because you are kind. Those kind of person have also a reason(s), and one of them certainly will be «I want to see other happy because it makes me sad that they are sad» or «the satisfaction of helping other» on and on ...

And also these guys who have nothing to do and do it, also have a reason and that is certainly something like «I am  bored so I want to do something to distract myself.» or «I just feel like doing it because I have a feeling like this, why not fulfill it, after all, why not?» on and on ...

I, the Goddess of Darkness, become the villainess of this story to give people a reason to listen to what the gods suggest them to do.

Of course, we, the gods are giving them good advises. Advise that will help them to build a better future for everyone. When I say «better future», I mean where people are genuinely happy.
