Ok the way the universe works in the au for So(u)l is in this snippet from chapter 3, enjoy!!

CHAPTER 3 SPOILERS HERE

———

Soulmates. Sun was programmed to answer questions about this- in fact, he’d been doing his own research. Well, moon had. In spite of the heavily child proofed search engines in the computers around the ‘plex, moon had been able to figure out a few things.

One, every person had at least one soulmate, barring any outliers.

Two, these soulmates didn’t need to be romantic. They could be friendships, familial, something called ‘queer platonic’.. but the majority of them trended towards romance.

Three, you had to be fully conscious to have a soulmate. This meant that your brain had to be fully developed. Thankfully, this allowed people to grow and become themselves without becoming horribly symbiotic with their person or people at a young age. It also meant no 16 year old lovebirds running off in the middle of the night when their parents wouldn’t let them stay out past curfew because the power of love was all they needed.

It was usually around their mid 20’s that people began seeing signs, the most common first sign being the first words you’d ever say to each other being marked on your forearm. The second most common one was a string- though it tended to only begin appearing in situations where the couple were likely to miss one another in a crowd, or a large area.

Usually, these first signs were enough. Fate had a very nice way of working itself out, allowing people to meet one another without even realizing at first that they were fated.

If this didn’t work, however, the universe got a bit more creative. Moon read accounts of increasingly rare signs. Everything from seeing the things your person wrote on themselves on your own body, to more drastic and horrifying ones like damage to your body being matched on your person’s. It seemed like the signs got more and more difficult to ignore the longer it took the people to connect- the connection seeming to be confirmed when all parties involved realized that the other was their fated.

Forgotten Gods [drabble/prologue?] future dca/reader

You found the old ruins on accident [everyone only ever finds the ruins on accident], because you had strayed from the group, distracted by a pretty creature, and then wound up lost.

You were a cocktail of mixed up emotions; the excitement and thrill of exploring new hidden treasures, and the cold sharp prickle of fear gripping tight around your throat.

You didn’t think you had wandered all that far before realizing the others weren’t with you, so you didn’t expect to get so lost so quickly. But here you were, each time taking a step in the direction that you thought would lead you home instead seeming to spin beneath your foot and land you in a completely different place. Almost like the forest was playing with you.

You… weren’t sure if it was the friendly or not-so-friendly kind of playing with you BUT! You would hope! Until proven otherwise! No need to give ideas or borrow trouble from tomorrow.

So when you came upon the large ruins you didn’t stop until right up against the edge of the stairs leading up. You were curious- there weren’t supposed to be any buildings near where your group was hiking and staying but the stone was old- weather worn and draped in moss and vines.

The stone was rough against your fingertips, but not as corrugated or crumbling as you expected it to be. The stone was washed in greens from the forest but you could see spots where grey stone shone through. Or was it grey marble? It was hard to tell- but whatever it was, it had stood against time and weather so well that there was hardly any damage. A column here or there was starting to crumble, and a few spots of the walls were missing pieces or had large cracks but overall it looked not to be as damaged as you expected for what you assumed was a temple from the roman period.

Curious, you went to step forward, pausing for a moment before your foot hit the first step, something in you listening for something you couldn’t quite place. You tilted your head to the side, waiting, listening- hearing nothing but birdsong and the regular noises of the forest.

So why were you holding your breath?

A quiet exhale.

A steadying inhale.

A pause, and then, “Hello!”

Immediately heat filled your cheeks as you heard your own voice seemingly echo in the the quite obviously empty area devoid of people.

“I, uh, just wanted to explore a bit if that’s okay?” Stars above you were talking to thin air and looking like a fool for asking it for permission.

“I wont hurt anything or take anything, honest! But- uh, I’m curious.” You flashed a smile around the temple and forest as if this was a totally normal thing to do – talking to thin air as if you weren’t some kind of unhinged person slowly loosing it- and then added, “if, uh, if you’d like me to leave. Please let me know? UH! In a safe way!! If you don’t mind!”

And then you set your foot down on the first step.

…

Nothing happened.

Your face burned but luckily no one was here to witness your embarrassment and you quickly climbed the stairs.

At the top of the stairs was a grand entryway, certainly the kind that kings and gods were given back in the roman days. Tufts of orange and blue cloth waved softly in the light breeze, the edges torn and the length shortened to just reaching halfway down the opening archway. Ten feet still too high for you to reach. Stars this place made you feel short.

You peeked your head in the entryway and the sight made you gasp.

“Oh my…” you wandered in, a bit starstruck and still rambling to the air because somehow it felt right, felt proper to do so, “oh wow oh wow oh wow…” you spun in a circle in the middle of the main temple area, looking up at the ceiling just to loose your breath all over again.

“Oh stars above…. That’s gorgeous.”

And it was- a magnificent mural stretching all across the ceiling, a deep midnight blue with bright pops of white, stars and constellations spilling across the ceiling until at the edges where they kissed the walls, it transitioned through purples and pinks to wash the walls in soft warm oranges and yellows.

The colors were faded just a bit but it took almost nothing to imagine them bright in their full fresh splendor.

The temple was beautiful and looked more as if it had been hidden out of sight instead of knowingly abandoned or forgotten. Tall spiraling columns painted like warm firelight spiraled up to meet the ceiling, fading to white at the tops and looking almost like clouds against the starry backdrop. Dust was inches thick on any flat surface, even coating the tops of some of the rounded spheres and carvings.

Your feet made a trail in dust coating the floor that you only just now noticed and cringed, feeling bad for disturbing such a peaceful stillness. But it was short lived as that childish feeling bubbled up in you, the want of jumping into a perfectly still pool to cause ripples and splashes, disrupting the stillness with your chaos. And as you glanced around, you reminded yourself that no one else was here to see you make a fool of yourself. To indulge in your inner childish wants. So you backed up along your previous trail to the archway again before closing your eyes and trying to shake out your jitters.

It was fine, no one was here, no one would see, and- well, really. What was the harm? You hadn’t let yourself do something silly and fun in a bit so.

Eyes snapping open you started off at a giggling run before spinning in the middle, glancing up at the rotating stars above you, before a laugh burst out of you. Once you started you could hardly stop- laughter and giggles escaping you as you ran and jumped around the temple, hooking a hand and arm around a column to swing yourself in a circle around it and off to the next one.

It was silly and childish and maybe a little stupid to do but as you found yourself in a heap on the dirty ground, chest heaving with exertion and laughter, you grinned at the sight of the spinning and looping trails of your foot prints through the dust on the floor. Like a painting you made with hops, jumps, slides, and occasional falls.

A last laugh bubbled out of you as you laid your head back down catching your breath.

Silly…

You giggled in response then paused.

Did… Did you just hear something?

Cheeks burning already in embarrassment you propped yourself up on your elbows then onto your hands, sitting up to look and see which person was present for your embarrassment.

But there was no one there. No matter which direction you looked, you could not see or hear anyone despite feeling like someone was laughing. Maybe not directly at you but- well. You were being a bit silly.

And as if to prove the point you stuck your tongue out at whoever or whatever it was that was laughing.

You think that made the feeling of laughter stronger.

With a soft chuckle at yourself you climbed back up to your feet and started exploring a bit more. There were all the normal things you thought would be in a temple- rows of stone? Marble? Benches to sit on- offering pedestals, symbols all over the columns, walls and interior of the temple. But it was missing one thing.

The statue of what god this temple belonged to.

You searched and searched and finally came to a stop at the very back of the temple where it seemed like there had maybe been a statue at some point. Maybe. Or maybe it was where another column was supposed to have been. Though when checking upwards it did not seem like there was a gap in the night sky above you. So that seemed unlikely.

You kneeled down and traced your fingers across the jagged stone on the floor gently. It had less dust on it than the entire rest of the place making you frown. If there had been a statue here, then it was removed more recently than the rest of this place had been lost.

Strange… you hadn’t seen any other tracks in here before your spinning silly escapade around the main temple.

“I wonder who you are…” you mumbled softly before glancing up and around, searching and analyzing the symbols around you, “I don’t suppose you could give me a clue, could you?” you half joked half earnestly asked, not really expecting an answer.

A loud creak of a door startled you into a yelp that landed you on your butt, heart thudding in your chest as your head whipped wildly around looking for the person who had made the noise. For a moment there was only the sound of your fast breathing before your curiosity took over and you climbed to your feet, eagerly tip toeing towards the source of the sound you heard.

Around the corner you found the door, wooden with chipped paint that you ran soft fingers across. It looked like a painting of something but you couldn’t quite make out what- too much of it had come off over time, peeling and chipping, until you could really only make out faint colors.

Easing in through the door, as you really did not want to push it open and make that horrible loud noise again, you slipped between the opening and into another room. Slightly smaller than the main temple room but immediately it was different. The main temple was gorgeous but this, this was a riot of colors.

Across the walls and even the floors and ceilings were covered in color. Murals and paintings and images that clashed with each other and seemed to have been made at different times with different skill levels covered the whole room. There were masterpieces next to stick figures next to brightly colored paintings where the colors wobbled all over inside and outside of the lines. It made you laugh.

A third of the way into the room it started sloping down and around, like a- oh what were those things called? The ones where they dipped down with seating for plays? It was that- whatever it was, with the stage front and center. There looked to be more tattered cloth hanging from the framing in front of the stage. It was badly aged, the wood rotting and missing in many spots, but you could still make out that it probably once held curtains to open and close in front of the stage.

The stage ground was luckily carved out of the same material as the floor so you felt stable climbing up the side and onto the stagefloor. The back wall was painted with a sunset or a sunrise, you weren’t sure which, but it was beautiful even if the paint was missing and faded much more here than in the main temple. You wondered why that was.

You found the remnants of what you assumed were various props and even some background set pieces, all made of wood and thus very much weathering away and decomposing. But the images of bright colors and fabrics, of laughter echoing in here as plays were put on, it made the smile on your face hurt your cheeks as it went so wide.

“Stars there must have been so much fun here,” you spun on one heel to face back out from the stage and washed your eyes over the whole room. A stage for plays and walls covered in art from kids and adults and whoever else. The place must have been echoing with laughter at one point.

It was so unlike any other temple you’d ever heard about. But surely this still was a temple? There were offering pedestals and even what you assumed was the spot where the god’s statue must have once resided.

A loud and sudden branch cracking startled you into another yelp and jump, hand clenching the front of your shirt as your heart beat against it. You crept down off the stage slowly and quietly before hesitantly making your way towards the door leading back into the main temple. You could hear more and more branches snapping and crunching underfoot and some faint hollering. As you edged towards the door you realized it was your name being called.

Oh! You’d been noticed missing! That was good!

But you felt a bit sad that you couldn’t continue exploring the temple, you were sure there were more treasures to uncover like this theater room but the voices calling your name started turning away and you were hit with the fear of being lost in the woods alone again and started rushing through the main temple, a call almost on your lips but holding back for some reason.

You paused under the arch, in the threshold of the temple, glancing back for a long moment.

Then, mind made up, you grinned made a silly finger gun gesture towards the temple and said “I’ll be back! Promise!” and then you shot off down the stairs and only shouting back towards the group once you hit the dirt, “Over here! I’m over here y’all!”

You nearly skidded right into them, they were so much closer than they had sounded, and a few of you let out little eeps of screams at the near collision.

“Where on earth were you?!” Marcy’s tone was exasperated but you could see in her eyes that she had been worried. Her hands reached out and pulled you into a hug that startled an oof and a giggle out of you.

“Sorry! Sorry! I got distracted! But I was right here!” you hugged her back before jerking your thumb behind you and towards the temple. Marcy gave you an unconvinced hum before letting you go.

“Well don’t do that again. We’re in enough trouble as it is.”

You winced, “oh…. Sorry.”

Khali elbowed you in the side with a laugh, “hey, what’s done is done. Let’s get back before they send a search team out for us next.”

You laughed, “fine, fine, but you guys! I’ve gotta tell you all about what I fou-oh. uh. H-hi Kerry…”

The tall man glared down at you, unimpressed, arms crossed and mouth set in a firm line. He always made you feel skittish- a feeling that you hated so much that you tried to fight it. You didn’t like it when others tried to make people feel small.

You forcibly straightened your back so that you didn’t slouch and tried to meet his eyes head on.

“We found her Kerry, let’s head back.”

Kerry’s eyes took a moment to shift from yours to Marcy’s firm tone and straight face. He looked unimpressed as always, a near static expression on his face, and his eyes flickered back to you just as you started to relax sending all the tension rushing back to your shoulders and chest.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to separate from the group,” just because you disliked him didn’t mean he wasn’t owed an apology for your trouble, “promise I’ll be more careful.”

His lips twisted in distaste but he didn’t say anything before turning around and leading the way back towards the rest of the group. He un-clipped his radio, switching it on and reporting back “Hiker’s been found. Returning to base camp.” His eyes cut back to you over his shoulder as he re-clipped the radio, “you’re on cleanup duty.”

You grimaced. Yeah, alright that was probably fair.

But tomorrow, maybe during free time…

You glanced behind you with a small smile but you were already too far away to see the temple. No matter- you were sure you could find it again.
