All that remains is Faith and Hope


Or When Faith Says Enough is Enough

There are many things that exist in the folds of Creation.

Worlds and Dimensions.

Universes and Timelines.

The Gods and The Demons.

And then you have what holds it all together.

Yggdrasils the World Trees.

The Core of all Worlds.

The Multiverse Trees.

And then you have those that keep All Creation Running.

The Primordial Aspects.

************

In the Domain of Realms, where all Primordials Gather, one such being sits in front of a Mirror Pool watching events in multiple dimensions.

This being is the Primordial Faith the Aspect of Belief.

As Faith watched she began to grow desperate and worried.

With each flash these feelings grew.

In one flash war raged over the superiority of Fire.

Another flash showed elements used to wage wars and supernatural feats used as excuses for to fight and battle over territory,

Another showed Religion as an excuse for genocide.

And so and so forth.

It didn't help that these worlds and dimensions suffered from something that derailed them so bad that they just ceased to be.

And with each world, each dimension, each universe lost.

The more her despair began to take over.

She could not stand by and watch this any more.

And with this thought she felt her resolve slam into the forefront.

Enough was enough.

She had to help save them and fix these worlds.

But before she could step forward.

" What are you doing?"

Freezing in shock she turned and and stared at the one how called out to her.

It was Destiny the Aspect of Fate.

Blinking she sighed when she noticed the concern on Destiny's face.

"I.. was about to fix things." she said hesitantly.

"Fix things. More like about to break The Rules is what I was thinking." Destiny says in worry.

And rightly so.

Like all of Creation even They had Rules that they followed.

And these rules were the Laws of Constance.

Rules that either restrained their power once they interred certain areas or worlds, stripped them of divinity till they died a mortal death. forbid them from interfering in certain ways, blocked them form interacting with mortals, and killing or stealing power from another Aspect.

And she was about to break the interference and mortal Rules.

Slumping to the floor in defeat she let her despair take hold of her and cried, slowly wilting the flowers growing around the pool.

Destiny sighed and walked over to her and sat beside her. Reaching over she touched her cheek and tapped it to get Faith's attention.

Once she did she wiped her tears then started petting her head.

" I know you want to help and make things better, its in your nature of Belief. Even I want to since those worlds were not meant to end. But you can't. We are bound by The Rules and going against them will only earn the Ire of Ether, Light, and The Guardian Beast. And we both know that No One want the last ones Ire. "

Faith winced but nodded in agreement.

No one in their right mind wanted The Guardian on their tail.

That was one Being all wanted to remain either asleep or on the edges of Creation.

That's not even considering The Guardians other Aspect as The Beast of the End.

" I know..." she whispered. " But .. I want to help make things better or at least change the flow of events enough that things get better for those who suffer from the faults of those that have no right." was what flowed from Faith as she looked Destiny in the eye with all her sorrows clear to see.

" ...... "was all she said.

Destiny could only stare at her before she sighed and began to stand up.

As Faith looked up at her as she bent down and pulled her up and started leading her out into the Hall of Dominion.

" Wha.."

" If you want to do something about what's going on then we need find loopholes in The Rules to do it."

Faith blinked in bemusement before it turned to amazement then happiness. " You'll help me?"

" Yes. But only because I can't stand the sight of you being so sad. " she said in a huff. " I know of only one being that can find loopholes in all the rules that have ever been or will be. And they have a habit of doing it for their own entertainment and nothing else. As such I'm going to have to use my only favor from them to get this to work for use." Destiny told her as they crew closer to a hall filled with large decorated doors.

This was the Corridor of Aspects.

Where each Primordial can make their own special realms to inhabit.

Walking past a door with flames and warriors on it, along with a door with waves and fairies upon it, they stopped in front of a door with vines and thorns all around and on it with golden flowers and a YinYang symbol split on both door halves.

" This is.."

" It is. " Destiny said before pushing the door open and walk in while pulling her along.

" Welcome to the Warped Gardens. "

**********

The Warped Gardens or as most Primordials called it the House of Insanity.

A place where nothing was the same or had a true nature or designs.

You could see one type of plant at first then turn as you pass to see it has become another.

Creatures within are no different.

A lion.

No that's chimera.

A horse.

No a Unicorn.

And so on.

And it was all the work of the Primordial Aspects of Balance.

************

They had been walking in here for a while now.

Faith thought they were lost.

Destiny said there was no path to be lost, just to keep going till they found Balance or they found them.

Truthfully that was the best they could do.

It was when they passed what looked like a plant shaped arch did they find who they were looking for.

Well more like got grabbed by them.

One second they were walking and the next they were sitting at a table made of plants on a lake.

And before them was Ying and Yang the Primordial of Good and Evil and the Aspects of Balance.

" Oh look sister see we have guests for tea. " the Good half said with giggles of glee.

" Yes I see. Two guests to play with I do believe. " the Evil half cackled.

Then together they said, " How will we have fun today our guests of honor."

Faith was a bit scared by this, but Destiny already knew how they worked and stopped them before they could get into their play. " I'm calling in my favor."

A pause.

Both halves froze as they heard this, and their face lost any glee or amusement they had becoming serious.

" Well, well this is surprising." , one says.

" Indeed.", says the other.

" We were not expecting this from you Destiny. To waste your favor now and not later to stop us in our game, is not like you at all. Tell use what has you calling in now when later would be more fruitful for you?", the Balance says sounding as one being instead of two.

" This isn't for me actually." she tilts her head at Faith. " It's for her."

Looking at Faith they give her a once over then do the same to Destiny before nodding.

" We see.", they say in a knowing tone.

" What?", Faith wonders.

" We know what you seek with this favor.", they say as a smile appears on the Good half. " You wish our aid in getting around The Rules that bind our hands, and getting involved with mortal affairs. Do you not?"

Destiny nods as Faith looks at them in hope.

" Very well we shall give you what you seek."

" Thank you..", Faith was cut off as they continued.

" But. We offer a deal to not only have loopholes to The Rules but to also have a way to avoid punishment for the direct interference you no doubt will cause."

Destiny got a bad feeling about where this was going but before she could say anything to Faith a voice called out from above.

" Yo Balance!"

Looking up then to their left as a figure dropped down into a seat that formed up at their call.

It was the Primordial Luck the Aspect of Karma.

" Hey Balance, I need a favor from you twwwooo..", she trailed off as she noticed their two companions.

" Oh hi, Destiny. Faith." she says while waves at them. " What you two doing here?"

The Balance answered for them.

" They came to us with Destiny's favor. For loophole in the Rules for Faith to fulfill her plans."

" Eh..", She looked at them in surprise before gaining a contemplative look on her face.

It was no secret among Primordials that Faith had been trying to help and fix the derailed worlds and dimensions due to her nature. Death, Life, and Time had been meeting with Light, Darkness, Purity, Corruption, and Ether to gain her some leeway about her wants, but with no way to show them that their would be no major harm done in the process that path had reached a dead end. Though if she was hearing this right, then she could get her favor in while also helping along that little problem.

Plus.

She had been waiting for in excuse to get into mortal affairs and have some fun in the process.

" Hey, I got an idea.", she says already knowing that Balance was interested the moment she turned up.

When Faith and Destiny gave her their attention, she continued.

" Well, I the way I see it you can get some things done that might get some at risk worlds back on track and the already messed up ones a chance. So how about this? I use my favor to get this before the others, and Balance can turn this into a full on Divine Contract instead of a deal. Once this happens I'll call up my favors with them and you, Faith, will be able to do what you please with the only restriction most likely being working with only what you your self can do at a time while in those worlds. So.... What do you say?"

Destiny didn't like it, but she could see that this would be better than what Balance most likely wanted, so she accepted, and the others would make it so that things won't get too bad.

She knew there were things not being said.

Faith though was to happy with this chance to care for the consequences, and didn't even think about it.

" YES! Yes, Oh thank you. Karma, I accept your offer."

Karma smiled a small secretive smile.

The Good half of Balance smiled, while the Evil half had a grin that almost looked like her face was split in two.

As Balance voiced their own acceptance and looked at Karma's smile, Destiny's reluctant agreement, and Faith's happiness.

This would be much more fun then what they had planned.

************

After that the Balance led them out of The Garden, and they maid their way to the Main Hall were they split up. Destiny taking Faith to a side Hall before joining Karma and Balance to speak with the others.

They hadn't need to.

Time already knew they were coming and what they wanted.

He had gathered and explained everything to the others.

Light and Darkness both knew they would need to throw down restrictions on all those that use Balance's Loopholes.

Life and Death had agreed to use this as a chance to collect and fix the Afterlife.

All the others only wanted to insure that there were no problems with allowing this.

Once the Contract was made, the verdict was given, and the Contract signed.

Now it was up to Faith to complete her goals.

The Dice are cast.

The roles been set.

Fate lies with Time in the Balance of Luck.

Light and Dark shall twine with Ether.

As Purity and Corruption take their marks.

And all fall to Life and Death.

For all that remains outside the lines.

Is Faith.

************

Whelp.

I guess this will be where I kick things off here.

The Primordials won't be around much but their involvement means I can get away with way more things than just because I'm the author/creator/admin of their planes of existence. 

So buckle up dearies.

Your in for WILD TIME with me~
