I awoke from the void in a place with nothing not even the color white or black, no worries, a place without thoughts pure and untainted by man, a place where you are not bound to a physical vessel. In this place, you as an individual don’t exist, you are one with all beings, and yet alone, nothing ever happens, no pain, no hurt, nothing, this is bliss the ruination with mother, this is death.
A man stripped away from his mother now forced to stand in barren darkness, alone experiencing life again for the first time.
He takes his first steps again and with each step creates land and along with it life, he stumbles to walk and constantly falls like a child learning to walk for the first time.
The man walked without knowing why he did or what he wanted but he knew he had to find something in the dark abyss, the man continued to walk and with each step, he got better at walking and created more life and spring into existence.
He walked for so long alone in the darkness that he could not walk anymore, his body tired and unable to move he collapsed to the ground dying of exhaustion.
His mind slipped into oblivion for what felt like decades and unable to think or worry it felt like bliss, but again he was dragged out of the abyss and rose from the dead.
But when he looked around him this time he saw things he had never seen before, yet they seemed so familiar as if he had experienced this moment many times before.
He saw plants, trees, bushes, and even small animals yet he still had the urge to walk, to find something, and so he continued walking, and he saw many things, places where trees grow above the clouds densely packed together, Icy tundras were barely any life could grow, tall pilfering spikes made from strong stone so tall they could reach the stars.
Yet he wasn’t happy, he wasn't contemptible, he had not found what he searched for, he did not know what he wanted or why but he knew he had to find it and so he continued his walk and created more life.
He found something that stopped him from walking, a body of water so large he looked insignificant standing next to it, even so, he attempted to walk across it, but unable to walk he tried to swim failings many times until he had finally been able to swim although it was clumsy and slow he persisted and with each motion, he got less clumsy and faster.
White each swing of his arms and paddle of his legs he created many beings and plants to populate the waters, after swimming for a long time he makes it to dry land once more, he is no longer able to walk, and the same feeling he got before takes over his body that tired feeling like something is stopping him from moving and the discomfort makes him feel weak.
The man dies of exhaustion and in his last moments he utters his first words in a shrill and weak voice, Lilin; he says as he takes his last breath.
He felt a huge relief as all the stress and strain on his body is lifted, he feels light as is he no longer had a body but is like the wind; he feel the warmth as his senses dull; he feels his consciousness slip away as his thought become so blurry they just fade away, he has reunited with mother once more.
He is yet again, savagely stripped away from mother's arms and dragged to the world of the living. The first thing he felt was the familiar warmth of the sun yet this was his first encounter with it he looked up to see a bright yellow ball with heat radiating from it.
He is in the middle of a meadow with many types of roses, some red, some white, and many more, and a dense forest nearby, all around him sees animal grazing in the grass and colorful butterflies fluttering about, the man looks in wonder at this beautiful place and the bright sun, feeling a familiar tingly feeling for the first time, he felt happy, very happy that he can see such a wonderful place, his entire body feeling such bliss that he form tear for the first time in a long time.
But the man continued to walk, encountering even more sights that he had to behold from creatures that were so large that their heads could peek over mountains, and others that moved faster than the man could even perceive and the once icy and desolate tundras now filled with creatures that adapted to the cold and deadly environments.
The man comes across something promising that could help him, he met beings unlike any other beings that looked like him, the man approached these beings with a gift, he had taken from a meadow a beautiful white flower with immaculate seeds, he offered this gift to the beings and they taught him their ways.
They taught him how they dance, they make art, their culture, their harvest, and much more. The man eventually became close to these beings yet he knew he was different, while the others changed and grew old while he stayed young, while others died he did not, while others had families he did not.

The man watched these creatures grow and adapt, going through a metamorphosis when they learned more and more about the world and spreading their genes everywhere, the man saw this stunning journey over hundreds of decades, but they never stopped adapting, even learning oral ways to communicate.
And so the man also learned to speak, this was when a being asked him for his name, the man's first and only thought was to say Adam and so it was that his name is Adam.
With this newfound language, it developed to be bigger and bigger, as well as more diverse until creatures rose from the earth and the moment Adam saw the eyes of one of these beasts the words kill, consume, multiply, conquer came to his mind, and so the creatures did they killed all those weaker in sight even others birthed from the ground dwindling the human population, they consumed the flesh of the fallen to survive, they rapidly multiplied all over the world to cause more carnage conquering the earth and plunging it into despair.
The few humans left looked to Adam for help, “Humans who seek the power to take back your birthright will suffer and will die, they will be unstable, the power you want is the knowledge you humans have lived in bliss for millennia even this is better than the power I can give and if you still want this power, you may have it the power of to understand yourselves and those around you” Adam said to the humans, and so the humans gained self-awareness.
Alongside self-awareness, they also had abilities that reflected who they are and with this new leverage, they pushed back the monster. Although many people diss for the betterment of humankind the struggle between humanity and the beasts continued with no end in sight.
While searching in a forest Adam notices someone sitting atop a tree branch, it seemed to be a child no older than 13 with short white hair and green eyes and wearing a white flowing dress.
Lilin Adam utters to the child, “So it seems we meet again for the first time, If there is meaning in two people meeting then maybe we’re doing this right, Adam” the child says smiling down on Adam with a soft soothing voice almost like an angel, “You are Lilin goddess of beasts and queen of angels and spirits, a devil” Adam says stunned seeing her again.
“The creation of spirits and angels hasn’t happened yet though,” Lilin says, dropping from the tree branch, “wait how do I know this information” Adam says in confusion, “isn’t it obvious, you’re the gods of creation and life, father of humans”.
“What I am no god I am no more than a rescuer for humanity” Adam replied calmly, “and yet you can’t die, you can’t age, you formed this earth from the abyss and let it grow to be so beautiful, eventually the humans will worship you and you will be their deity,” Lilin says circling Adam.
“And you created those beasts that destroyed the peace of our world,” Adam says calmly searching for an answer, “like you, I create without knowing, can’t control my children because of that and they kill to consume and they consume to survive, they multiply to live on through their families they conquer to make safe places for their children, in many ways, they are like humans,” Lilin says as he voice become sadder and weaker with each word.
“Oh I see, but we both know this war will go on forever, the bloodshed, the struggle, no side can ever win even if the enemy is killed how many of your own people must die to archive that” Adam calmly explains, Lilin beginning to cry says “I know and I don’t want anyone to suffer, I want peace for all”.
“I’m sure we can figure out a way to resolve this” Adam says with a nagging pain in his chest, it feels so unbearable and suffocating, this was his first time feeling sadness yet it felt so familiar, but he bears through and keeps his composure.
The two beings talked through the bright starry night. Adam thought that peace could be achieved if he introduced the humans to Lilin, and when he does everything goes well at first she connects really well with the human children and she quite often tells them stories and dances with them under the moonlight.
The humans began to despise Lilin as they thought she was trying to steal their children and often called her a devil behind her back, so they attacked her when Adam was away, and they killed her, the foolish humans didn’t know what happened when a god died, their life force seeps into reality and they create life.
Suddenly beings sprouted out of her corpse as if they were alien to their world and from bewildering origins, they attacked the humans with no remorse they butchered most of them, this was the punishment for killing their goddess.
When Adam came back and learned what had happened, he cursed the humans with bloodlust, wanting to kill each other for power and then Adam took Lilin’s corpse and abandoned the humans for their sins, he went to the top of the tallest tree and waited for her revival for centuries.
Finally, she awoke and Adam hugged her tightly, “let's divide this world so the beings on earth can live better lives,” Adam says, Lilin agrees and together they divided the being into different realms for the benefit of everyone.
And so it was, but they were both too weak to continue living in mortal vessels. Hence, they died with Adam going to a place above the clouds forever watching over his children. In contrast, Lilin was stuck on earth with pure-hearted children being the only ones that can see her, the two forever divided as well yearning to see one another but they can’t.
And in their death, Lilin created a tree with fruits that can give all knowledge to those who eat it, while Adam's death created a tree able to grant infinite life to those who dare eat its fruit.
To god's life and death are the same, they live as they die and they die as they live, and eventually, it all returns to mother, but the god and goddess must rise from the abyss and create once more, forever in the same role and forever destined to meet each other.
There does that answer your questions, but what should I call you, Rose, Chromewell, or David, since you are an amalgamation of souls, you’re quite an oddity, call me whatever it doesn’t really matter to a dead man, oh then may I call you lilin you remind me of her, sure but I don’t see any similarities, yeah but when I look at you I see her.
