EARTH

beyond

Somewhere in Antarctica

"hello, hello, can anyone read me" buzz buzz "hello" buzz buzz, looking at the transceiver in his hand the man cursed "dammit, why the hell is it now of all times that this transceivers signal is down".

'crack, crash, bang' loud crashing sounds were heard as the heavy snow fell.

"what the hell was that?" looking in the direction from the sound, a inexplicably shocked expression was shown oh his face as he started to stepped towards where the crashes were heard.

Reaching a door that led to another room, he put his hands on the handle and slowly turned with a bit of fear and curiousness.

"wha- what is that thing" he thought aloud while peeping in through the crack of the seem at the door, not daring to open it fully.

In the room he saw a dark sphere, so dark that it reflected no light at all, almost like it wasn't an object but it looked like it was a hole that led down into the earth, the only reason the man knew it wasn't a hole but an object was because small red energy particles flickered around it.

The red light from the energy particles flickered and shimmered in the man's sight as if inviting him to come closer and touch it and like a moth to a flame, he slowly opened the door and walked in, inching ever so closer to the light.

Back on the drifting planet....

{i see, so humans find joy in everything weather it be good or bad, they get lost and drunk in pleasure and brutality, i must say, i am a bit surprised by this} Zuzu who was now sitting on a chair made of precious stones, metals and the flesh of ancient beasts spoke with interest sounding in his voice.

{and they have gods that they worship, this interests me very much, these gods must be powerful to have the admiration of the mortals like this, where are the gods that they believe in?}

"they are low level god's not worth mentioning, zuzu" the primordial dragon goddess now named lara spoke with a bit of disdain in her voice.

{oh? are they that weak that you look down on them with such disdain?}

"they dare to portray themselves as you, the Creators of all, looking at them with my stance is the most generous gift i can give, if it were not that you were in slumber and we wanted things to progress we- no i would have already erased there existence from all reality"

{awww, is my little dragon angry that someone tried to be me} he chuckled while pinching her cheeks.

{don't worry about it ok, i don't mind it, in fact, i want them to continue, less work for me, hehehe, oh and it seems that the little pup left a bit of energy on earth, when you go out tell him to make sure the place doesn't get erased}[can't have it going boom when i haven't explored yet, this is gonna be fun] he thought.

"ok" she says with a slight blush stepping back before turning around and walking away.

Walking out of the huge cave like structure, Lara, who still had flushed cheeks thought about her interaction with zuzu a moment ago, didn't she simply speak with him while the others went back to their own planets that were a short distance away to rest as zuzu requested.

Then why? [what is this feeling that makes me so uneasy?] she thought to herself, even tho she had an idea, she rejected it immediately because to her, that was the highest taboo, love for zuzu.

Why was it a taboo? feeling love in itself is not the taboo here, its loving zuzu, the one who brought them into being, her thoughts are on the track of being unworthy of him, that is why she has it as a taboo.

While weather zuzu would feel the same or not, only he could tell.

"Dean" Lara called out while looking toward space, staring directly at a planet that glowed both red and a shade of dark purple.

'crack, smash' breaking and cracking sounds were heard like shattering glass and then a dark looking portal opened and a creature of fire and darkness appeared.

"you called?" the creature who now goes by dean answered.
