The universe was created by two ethereal beings, others came after them but they were the first.

Life, born from light and warmth. She created earth and all it's inhabitants. She creates every soul in the universe, she prides herself in every one.

And Death, born from the dark and cold. He got to create the stars, but with little to no recognition. He got to take the souls when their lives ended, he took care of the dead, only to see Life's gleam in their eyes.

"a shame really, that soul was made for great things. My best work thus far if I do say so myself." Life says as she follows Death, her dress made of light flowing behind her as she walked.

"You say that every time I collect a young soul, my love." Death responds as he walks down the hall to his Domaine, known only as terra mortuorum. The young man still dazed from his demise following behind the cloaked God.

"And how do you know I'm wrong? You never give them a chance." Life replies as she stops where the hardwood flooring turned into dirt, she couldn't go farther, it would be her demise if she did.

"You know it's not my choice." Death says, his voice filled with Sympathy, before disappearing into the foggy wasteland with the soul.

Life huffs before turning and making her way across the hall, past the hall that lead to earth, and the other planets, and to her own domaine, terra vitae.

She walks along the stone path, passing her palace, to a small gazebo next to the lake. She sits down and starts to draw, designing another human, like she does so often.

"Their trying to make artificial life again." A young man says as he leans against the side of the gazebo.

"Robots?" Life asks without looking up.

"Artificial intelligence, also known as AI." The man says sounding almost exhausted with human affairs.

"Why do you keep making them? they're a waste, just admit you gave them too much power and let them go extinct, you've done it before."

"Fides, that's enough! I'm not abandoning my creations! You of all people should understand that. For the god of loyalty you aren't very loyal." Life says as she looks up at him, she sounds almost, tired of defending herself, her creations.

She loved the humans, she loved how they could create like she could, and she's been quite devoted to them, seeing how long they've existed without much change to their design.

The god of loyalty just sighs. "Fine, but as soon as they harm a God, we're done, deal?"

"Deal." Life says, not particularly believing in the humans power. killing a god was near impossible for a god, so it seemed like an impossible task for a mortal.

Fides nods before stalking off, letting his mother continue her creating.
