A Tale of Two Souls

 Long ago, there was nothing but space and world's with nothing but animals. People with nothing but their bodies, no love, hate, no emotions at all. People had no real purpose to their lives, goals but not really. On the night of a full moon that was displayed through the entire vast multiverse, two children were born on each planet. The children grew up with with a shine in their eyes, emotion, they smiled, frowned and cried, they displayed pain and love. It baffled everyone, but, they were contagious, more and more people began to feel and that was just the beginning. 

When these children became adults, they traveled the multiverse, following a pull that they couldn't explain. They met, no matter how long it took, they would always meet and they'd instantly connect with the person they met. They were like halves of a whole. Some of the children would bring their counterparts home, and some of their families reacted well, but others were apprehensive about the relationship. 

These children were peculiar, their eye colours seemed to mix into a different colour every time they looked at each other, or when their eyes met, or when someone dared to hurt them. Their pain, seemed to be shared. When one got hurt, the other would wince in pain as well. What scared some people the most, was the overwhelming love they portrayed for each other. They trusted each other so much that the people who were new to emotions couldn't comprehend it.

Then, in the vast multiverse, an uproar began, people had witnessed the power that the couples held and wanted it for themselves, no one came close enough because no-one felt enough to be able to withstand the power they had. Slowly but surely, the couples' numbers dwindled, as the death of a counterpart killed the other. The reason for this was because of the oath they all took once they met their counterpart and grew familiar with each other.

"For Life is the beginning and Death is the end. I have found my chosen one on whom I shall depend, I dare not part from them of my own free will, for like a puzzle I am finally whole. At this very moment I promise to you, our beginning was one, and so will be our end."

The oath was one that finalised the tie of their souls, they would always die with the other, no matter what, no one could break this oath, at least, it was thought that no one could. At the moment of death for one couple, the bond was severed, leaving one of the counterparts alive. The severed bond ripped the woman's sanity to shreds, the painful lost drove her over the brink of insanity. She became spiteful of every couple and person that could love and feel. She became vengeful towards the people that killed her love and jealous of the couples that survived. How dare they be happy while her very soul was breaking down?

She came to an idea. What if…she used the couples bonds to help her remake her Love's soul? What if she experimented with the bond and found out the weak points, found out the origin of whatever caused it? She realized that the bond was more than they knew after her experiments, they were, power. Pure unlimited power. The fools didn't know that they were walking unlimited power. She thought to herself that if she could successfully use the power, then she could do anything, she could bring back her love. She could be the most powerful being alive, she could be a QUEEN.

So she began her hunt. She began her experiments, her destruction and slowly she grew powerful and with it she became greedier and greedier. She lost sight of what she first wanted and only focused on power and taking over the multiverse. She wrecked havoc to planets she set foot on. The couples were almost extinct, except for the last pair. A pair that had successfully hidden themselves in the corner of the galaxy. 

The day she found them, she immediately came for them, but she was surprised. This couple was different, they had tapped into their power and their power was beautiful, strong and unbreakable, extremely different from the rest. They knew each other so well that they were each other at some points. They were able to tap into each other's powers and use them, expertly mind you. They fought long and hard before finally putting a seal on the greedy queen. They were exhausted and knew that their time was almost up and with the last of their breath, they gave the multiverse a gift or maybe it was a curse.

"We have lived and loved and felt truly, it has helped us to grow and helped us understand more than we could have ever hoped. But alas, as every beginning has an end, ours has come. With our departure, we grant the multiverse a gift. The gift of emotions, to love, to hate, to be sad and to feel pain, we grant you all of it, every single person. Some of you may feel to much but none of you will feel as much as we did. The Queen isn't yet taken care of so a promise we will make, the last pair, hundreds of years from now, when she awakens, you will not be left bare and helpless. The last of our kind will come and they will be the strongest of us all, they will suffer more than we have but  love stronger than anyone will. Maybe that will be their blessing and their curse."

Those were their final words before Death took them and the events that transpired were long forgotten over the years. Hundreds of years later, is where this story really begins.
