In an area where a massive, mysterious tower stood at its center, two figures could be seen. One was a woman with a calm and sleeping face, and the other was a being of such stunning beauty that determining their gender seemed impossible. The woman had fallen asleep on their lap, and they gently and affectionately stroked her hair. Around them, a flock of colorful and glowing flowers covered the ground, as if this place had come from another world. But something strange was present here: an invisible barrier surrounded the area, and outside of it, everything was destroyed. The lands were covered with a thick layer of dust and snow, as if an ice age had wiped everything out. This place, however, seemed like a small paradise, separated from the outside world. Yes, they were Tiamat and Shikama Doji. Shikama Doji gently stroked Tiamat's hair, as if wanting to gift her peace.
The ten-year ice age had finally come to an end. Shikama Doji could have started earlier, but in these ten years, the world was not a suitable place for the living beings they intended to create. The impact of asteroids had polluted the air and turned the earth into an uninhabitable place. Tiamat had been sad during these years, but when she slept, her face became calm and beautiful. Shikama Doji looked at her with a soft smile and stroked her hair, as if wanting to erase all her sorrows.
"Tiamat, wake up. The time has finally come," Shikama Doji said in a calm and affectionate tone. Tiamat opened her eyes and slowly woke up. Her eyes scanned the surroundings, and she stood up excitedly.
"Has the time really come?" Tiamat was as excited as a child. Her face glowed with anticipation and joy.
"Yes, the time has come," Shikama Doji replied with the same soft smile.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start!" Tiamat took Shikama Doji's hand and energetically moved toward the edge of the area. They walked together like old companions, stepping toward the outside of the invisible barrier.
"Ah, you seem so excited. The title of Mother of Creation really suits you, little mother," Shikama Doji looked at Tiamat with a gaze full of affection. A weak but warm smile formed on his lips. They gradually passed through the invisible barrier and stepped into the outside world. Tiamat looked around with sadness. The world that was once full of life and activity now seemed empty and silent. The lush and beautiful forests had been destroyed, as if the asteroids had turned everything to ash. Shikama Doji placed his hand on Tiamat's head and stroked it gently.
"Don't be sad. We'll make this empty world like it was before, even better than before," Shikama Doji spoke with a soft, reassuring smirk. His face was like that of an angel, promising reconstruction and hope. Tiamat looked at him, and suddenly a strange, glowing aura emanated from her being.
"You're right. Let's make this world like it was before," Tiamat said with a tone full of determination and resolve.
"Now, there's no need to rush so much," Shikama Doji tried to calm Tiamat down, sweat dripping from his forehead. It seemed he had said something he shouldn't have. He was sure a dark future awaited him, but he tried not to show his worry. A weak smile formed on his lips.
Tiamat and Shikama Doji began to rebuild the ecosystem. Tiamat used the "Sea of Life" to create birds, reptiles, mammals, and other creatures. Shikama Doji also didn't sit idle and started creating mythical species: dragons, giants, fairies, and other legendary beings. Black orbs filled the sky, and he tirelessly created new creatures. The lifeless planet gradually began to fill with living beings through the efforts of Tiamat and Shikama Doji.
