Good Luck, Boy

The outflow of emotions seemed to affect the surroundings as both the elements and the goddess cried happily. The joy of living was the best part of the life itself. Like a wise man once said, in the race of Life what matters isn't what you get at finishing line but what you experience when running through it.

"You see sister Balance, after attaining immortality my life lost its purpose and with it its luster. During those times my mind was filled with frustration, sadness, and despair."

"But seeing that young boy's soul, the soul of a boy that didn't even lived a millionth of a fraction of my life fighting against despair without any power to back it up but only is will make me see a new purpose in life. Made me stop feeling angry at myself and try to find another goal. After all, our life only had meaning if you have a goal to achieve."

Leben looked at the many elements gathered around his beautiful sister. Their dazzling dance around them reminded him of fireworks that were released once a year in his homeland. The happiness and peace that those times gave to him.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed in his direction falling into his embrace. When he looked at it, he saw her teary red eyes looking at him with nothing but love. Seeing that scene, Leben couldn't help but embrace her as well.

The crying goddess not only tried to warn him but also listen to his mind. Leben wished that this moment would last forever.

"COUGH" "COUGH"

A dry and full of a malice cough sounded across Eden as a figure descended from the skies. This figure was of a burly man dressed in military vests trained in red as if all the blood in the universe had converged in that armor and his black hair and eyes burning with undesirable hate capable of turning a planet to dust.

"What is the problem, brother Sterben?"

Leben slightly said as he stopped hugging Balance at began to walk until he stopped a few steps away from Sterben.

"Nothing Leben, I'm only here to punish you after you broke the law." in the face with the burning eyes filled with hate there also gave birth to a smirk. 'I will make you suffer Leben for touching my property. After you are gone nobody will interfere and Balance will be mine'

"Brother, brother, I already knew that I broke the law and I don't regret it. You can start your verdict."

"On behalf of the powers invest in me as the older brother, I now condemn Leben Leistung to be removed of any sort of power and be sent to the Hole of Infinite Time."

"No, brother Sterben. Don't send our beloved brother to that hole of an infinite loop I will also go with him as I already knew of his machinations and did nothing to stop him." Goddess Balance shouted at Sterben with a weak and weeping voice.

"Ok, if you insist in protect him I will cut one member for each time you try to help him and don't try to blame me for my viciousness, after all, he interfered with the cycle of Life and Death so strongly that he almost destroyed the very universe."

"But, but..."

"Balance!" Leben said with a firm and unwavering voice.

Leben walk closely to balance and putt his hand on her face.

"Don't worry my sunshine. I will survive and come back to you so please don't make any attempt to your life. I will always remember you, my first love"

Goddess Balance couldn't help but start crying again add she heard the love-filled words from Lenden. Hugging him she said:

"I promise, my love"

"It's time Leben. Follow me to the center of the table."

Sterben and Leben jumped on top of the triangular table heading towards the black cube. Reaching it Leben stopped in front of it and looked at it trying to peer through space and time to see further into the cube.

Sterben, looking at Leben said sternly:

"Leben, now..."

"Brother I will do it myself." Interrupted Leben smashing a full power fist against his chest and then jumping into the cube.

At that moment time seemed to get slower as Leben could see the Balance's grief-filled face and Sterben's hate and joy eyes. Feeling the space between him and the cube diminishing he finally muttered:

"Good luck boy. That my sacrifice means as much to me as it meant to you"

At that moment Leben's body vanished into the black cube taped in an infinite loop till the end of time.
