In a space full of nothingness, where there are no black or white. The only thing besides the nothingness is a two 'thing' that are laying down in there. Because there is no point of reference, it was hard to say whether they were laying down or standing, or even flying.
The first 'thing', the soul of the male.
The second 'thing', the soul of the female.
The souls of the destroyers of the world.
They only look at each other, as there are nothing else to gaze at.
They stare did not contain hatred anymore, they seemed like the tamest creature in the world, it would be hard to imagine them to even hurt each other.
"It ended, right?" The male said, while still remembering all of his life from the start.
"Yes, it is." Answer the female.
"Do you remember?"
"I do. But it strange."
"Why?"
"Why do we fight?"
"That's a good question."
Silence again, as they pondered again. Why would they fight? Why would they destroy the world? What reason possibly made them, a normal human, able to do that? Both of them remember all the years they spend with learning martial arts, upgrading themselves with new weaponry and machines they made. They also study a lot of things that would make others wonder whether they are human or not.
"Do you remember her?" Said the female this time.
"I do, she is our dear sister."
"We owe her." She concluded. The girl is their sister, the cause of their fight, although, they did not know why.
"Fifth grade, that's when we first met right?" The male said some random question.
"Yeah, I remember I was cleaning the class, alone. My 'friend' went to karaoke and did not invite me. You came to replace the flower and the Blackboard's eraser."
"It was actually an assignment for the basketball club, but they left me with the task and threaten me if I tell the teacher about it."
"Remember in the sixth grade when we were beaten up by the new teacher."
"Yeah, he almost raped you, and he broke two of our bones. It was close to the time we met her."
The two talked about their life, each and every scene until they fought each other and destroy the world. They talked as if they were old friends, not an eternal enemy. They started to tell the story of their own achievement, their mastery over various art. They were proud because they achieve the impossible, surpassing human.
"Remember when you give a speech about the connecting point between religion and science, and proving the presence of the absolute reference point?"
"You still beat me with the advanced combat manual regarding teleportation."
"Well, you even achieve world peace!"
"It was because we were destroying it moron!"
They laugh, as the world has already passed, so does their worry. Their feeling of regret, horror, or sadness regarding the destroyed world is absent as if it had gone away without a trace.
"Hey, By the way, do you know where is this?" The obvious question is finally asked.
"I don't know, perhaps this is the afterlife?" She replied.
The moment of silence grew again, as they ran out of topic. But because there is no actual way to know how much time has passed, the wait did not seem long.
And finally, as if they had been waiting for it. A light came down to the nothingness, with it appeared another 'thing'. The figure greatly resembled a person the pair very familiar with.
It was their sister.
"Greetings, brother, sister." She said, staring at the two of them as if waiting for their reaction.
"Oh, Hi shorty." Answered the male nonchalantly.
"Hi, Cupcake!" The female also answered her sister.
"Well, we finally reunited here. First of all, I'm sorry for deceiving you, to made you like this? Although you don't have human feelings anymore, I'm still sorry." The girl with light bowed "But please forgive me, as I bounded by duty, as the harbinger of the apocalypse."
The pair also stood up and bowed, which surprised the girl.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"We are also sorry, for not realizing it."
"And we thank you, for selecting us to bring the end of the world."
After seeing the scene, the girl felt surprised and amazement. It was the first time she saw somebody thanked her for being her pawn.
"Hahaha, I knew you guys weren't normal, from the moment I saw you write 'I want to end the world'"
"Ah, so that's why..." The pair finally has their final piece of a puzzle in their mind.
"Yes, the moment you wrote that with faith, the two of you has entered the script of the world, with you as the ending." The girl explained.
"So, we end it humanity with our hand, isn't that kinda cool? Although I kinda feel horrible, but it as I want it myself." The male try to think around why he could destroy the world with his human conscience, but then, it was said that it was scripted.
"So, we end it, with an epic battle that destroy the scenery, like an action movie." The female pondered again.
"Yes! Don't worry about not feeling conscience for killing your own kind. The reason we end the world is because it’s the natural cause, and the soul of the human has been properly organized through the afterlife system."
The pair still pondered much, they still have a lot of question, before they could speak the girl with light quickly said
"The reason why I'm here beside to apologize, I also want to give you your pay."
"Pay?" The pair asked in confusion.
"Yep! Pay, for your role as the ending of the E-M-6789 semi-scripted world, you have been given the prize of reincarnation and the past memory. You should already savvy with this kind of thing by the kind of literature in your world." The girl explained as if it something casual, although it probably is according to the place.
"Reincarnation?" As if it a dream come true, to retry a life with the knowledge of the past.
"Yes. The two of you are planned to reincarnate in a new world, Farantine, with their past memory, the ability to choose your appearance, but not talent. That about summed it up."
The two of them just looked at the girl with confusion on their face. They are still new to the afterlife business, Although they got the basic idea, they are still some detail lacking.
The female asked the girl. "What kind of world Farantine is?"
"A world of magic and sword, the world where we focus on another kind of the law of the universe. Unlike your world, which is a numbered world, exist as an observation and similar to a scripted play, this world is one of the independent worlds with its own pantheon and end. The best way to summed this world is your world fantasy novel become reality." She snapped her finger and suddenly the nothingness around them change into a space they recognize. The outer space itself.
"The world was actually constructed with the design taken from your world and other similar worlds, albeit with an addition of another kind of energy." She pointed at the star and planet, space object that is familiar to earth. "Now, telling you more would spoil the fun right? Your memory regarding my explanation of this world and several others about afterlife will be erased, to continue preserving the mystery of the afterlife, and I hope you can keep the rest a secret." She then snapped her finger again, and a simple body of a human appeared, she then looked at the pair. "Who want to design their body first?"
The pair, still in awe from the presentation, looked at the body. They thought about what kind of body they want? What body would give them advantage? But as the information regarding the world cultures and inhabitant were lacking, they could not decide.
Then the female asked a question to the girl. "Is it possible, for a body to be occupied with two souls?"
"It's 100% possible, although it would be like controlling a plane with two pilots simultaneously, there are proof of living being in Farantine that even have 1000 souls in their body."
"What do you think?" Ask the female to the male.
"Why do you want to share that body with me? You couldn't be thinking of something perverted are you?"
"Why would I! Imagine if one person has two people in it. If we did it right, we could have a person who will be able to multitask easily! Look, assume the world is based on fantasy novels, if we were born there as regular humans, what chance we would have to thrive, let alone survive? This is gonna be the world where preparing strength from birth is important."
"I see your point, but would we really have the advantage? Aren't the mind ability is governed by the brain, not souls?"
"Don't worry" The girl suddenly spoke "Creature in this world are having a direct relationship between their spiritual organ and material organ. Somebody soul really affected their strength."
"See?"
"Well, then it's fine. What do you think of the appearance of the body, should it be male or female?"
The female thought deeply, she did not certain about it. After thinking for a while, she asked the male "Hey, what do you think of an Androgynous human, a little bit more to the feminine side, but the reproductive organ is the male ones."
"You want to trick people into believing that we are female right?"
"Exactly."
"To be honest, that is really a good plan."
Then they started shaping the body, giving instruction to shape the body from baby to adulthood. The girl reminded them, though, that appearance can be changed because of the world nature.
They made the body slim and had feminine figure, but not really weird for a man to have naturally. The hair is silvery white. The body feature really looked feminine, where 8/10 people would say that it's a girl. The eyes are heterochromatic, red on the right, blue on the left, giving the body an exotic feeling. The skin is white as snow, and the face is giving a cute but not to be underestimated charm. After some detail finishing. Their body is done.
"We finally finish it, how long has it been?"
"How about we make it a little bit more feminine?"
"This is already the limit, more than this will really be a girl."
The pair looked at their future body, proud of their hard work.
"Then we ready to go!" Shout the female.
"You really enjoyed this do you?" Answered the male.
"Then are you ready?" Said the girl with the light.
"Yes, let's hurry!" The female said, with an enthusiastic expression.
"Yeah, I also can't wait." The male said, with a relaxed voice.
"I warned you again, although this is a prize, reincarnation is not something to be trifled with. You can die anytime, and I don't even know where you will be born, especially with a body like this" she looked again at the exotic appearance of the pair's future body "And you will not be assisted by anything outside of the world."
"We understand." The pair replied with their own style.
"And also..." The girl became hesitant.
"What's wrong?" The female worried.
The girl suddenly launched herself to the female and hugged her. The female was a bit surprised at first, but then she understood and hugged the girl.
"It was so lonely here, you two were a friend of mine." Said the girl. "Please always remember me."
The male walked to the girl and gave her a hug "Of course, we never forget our little angel."
The female patted the head of the girl, she then looked at the male who are holding back his tear"You are really giving a brotherly feel."
"Then you are giving a sisterly feel, both of you..."
The three of them hugged and cried. Then finally the girl let them go, and prepare to sent them off.
"Before you go, I have one more prize for you." While saying that, the girl opened a portal and put the body and the pair of souls there 'I'm giving you your first name, Fira."
With a flash of light, they were reborn.
