[POV: Emilia]
In The darkness of the abyss, time could be modified, to help preserve or go to a time where they would be needed. This was used often by the gods to help in maintaining a steady flow of souls, even in war-time. However, they couldn't do the impossible, when ones hope turns into despair, they would be sent to a different place to hold them for use. A place too dangerous for even gods to go.
'His despair is growing faster than I thought, I better get started.'

[POV: Ensen]
laying in despair, the deathly cries of families slaughtered, the screams overtake me.
Curled up in a ball, with both hands covering my ears, shaking in regret. I stayed like this for what seemed like centuries until finally, something changed.
A light so bright, it 's as if the sun itself came down.
'It hurts my eyes, go away!'
I move my hands to my knees and curl up into a ball tighter and tighter until I can't see a thing.
'Are those footsteps?'
"Go away! I got my... my shoes! and I'm not afraid to use it." I yelled, as loud as I could.
"Hey, I'm trying to help you. let go of your knees!" A mysterious voice calls out to me.
What's wrong with this person? I don't want to go.
"No thanks, I'll just stay here. Bye." I say calmly.
"I don't care. you're coming with me." The voice says grumpily.
I feel a tug on my shoulders, threatening to pull my ball apart.
"Get away! what are you? the devil?" I scream as loudly as I can.
I wait for a reply, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, oh here it comes. Wait... Is it crying?
I go out of my ball and see a girl with white hair, contrasting the very nature of this space, behind her tears, were purple eyes that looked as gentle as a fly.
"Umm... are you alright demon girl?" I ask curiously.

"I-I'm not a demon! I'm a fairy! A fairy!" A sudden palm comes flying from her direction, hitting me on the top of my head.
Holding my head, I look up, annoyed. "If you're a fairy then why are you hitting people?"
She avoids my gaze and looks to the ground, depressed.
"A-actually I'm a god. I just got a little worked up. hahah... I'm sorry."
She looks broken. I wonder if this is my fault...
"So uh, hey. Are you going to leave now? I don't want to do whatever you're trying to make me do."
She quickly wipes her tears, then looks at me looking as strong as possible.
"Join me to help make a new universe. It'll be a lot-"
I suddenly join in, cutting her off "Nope, go away. You're trespassing, this is my property."
She dramatically sighs, then whispers under her voice "I guess we're doing this the hard way."
"What did you say? hard way?"
As I talk she keeps walking closer.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit."
Oh god, shes coming this way.
As quick as a lightning, she grabs my hand as my consciousness fades.

[POV: Emilia]
Hiding my red eyes from crying, I walk up to my teacher to create my universe.
He hears my footsteps and looks back at me.
"Hello, Emilia. How can I help you?" he asks, interested.
"I want to start my universe," I say, trying to look as confident as possible.
"I understand, good luck Emilia, just one thing I'm curious about though," he says, trying to keep a straight face.
"What is it, teacher?"
"Why do you have an unconscious human on your back? are you in the business of slaves now?" he laughs, unable to keep a straight face.
"N-no! This is my god for the humans." I say depressed
"But he doesn't look very willing, does he?"
"No matter! start the creation please."
"Okay, I understand." he says, then walks out of the room.
I walk up to a chair and lay Ensen down.
'What a hooligan, I'll have to be careful around him.'
The teacher soon comes back with four pieces of blank paper, he places it in my hand.
"This is the universe creation slip, just rip it in half to get started. And the other three are communication slips, only use them in emergencies." he says.
"Thank you teacher, I know I won't be able to come back for a while, but I'll do my best." After I say that I rip the slip.
My vision turns into a ray of colors, getting brighter and brighter, slowing merging together. After I a few minutes, the merging is finally complete.
'So, this is my universe core.' I mutter under my breath.
Well, better get started.
I imagine a meeting room similar to the ones in earth, with me at the head of the table. I quickly change the colors to a greyish black and do the same with the chairs. I quickly place plants and some snacks on the table, and then it is done.
'I should be a decorator.'
I change my clothes to a simple silk dress and give myself glasses.
'I gotta look like a hard worker.'
I look around, but can't help to notice I'm missing something. Wait...I forgot him, didn't I?
I pull out a slip from my pockets.
'This counts as an emergency, right?'
Before I can feel depressed about myself, I rip the paper in half and open up a communication link to my teacher, but before I talk, he does.
"The boy, right?"
"Yes... I'm sorry."
The link terminates as quickly as it started, and in that place, was that stupid guy again.
'What a jerk.'
I gently sit him on the closest chair to me and then sit down at the end of the table.
'Well, I guess It's time to summon the three other gods. I wonder what they'll be like.'
