The third to last cycle, something new was rather spotted that Ouro couldn’t help but notice by the end. A simple egg filled with energy. Azrael had only noticed last second but Chim knew. An energy filled being hidden within her own domain.

The cycle restarted

Azrael was intrigued. Chimalma said it was her own gift, like the usual. But something was rather different this time.

“Like me before you, it is meant to be life and death. But I can not carry this alone”

And so Azrael accepted, absorbing this supposed glowing sphere within their own chest. A child, an ever longing power growing gradually. And eventually it bursted out of their chest. No damage except a little purplish creature. A mix of both Azrael and Chimalma combined yet filled with innocence. Ouro had sensed something was wrong, this is off. Why were they scared?

“What is this”

Ouro had appeared rather earlier than expected, however they were more curious than anything.

“You can’t have a child”

But life and death disagreed

“The cycle shouldn’t be like this”

Life and Death disagreed

Ouro simply couldn’t argue, warning them they would appear next and that this thing shouldn’t exist

But life and death had other plans

Nephilim. Little Neph. An offspring. A new beginning

The Child grew quite quickly despite their mental age, but they were strong. They were odd but were interested. Ouro kept a distance

Neph didn’t speak much. Neph observed. Similar to his father. But they had the kindness of her mother.

And then Ouro attacked. Wanting to start anew. Not caring.

Neph observed. Neph watched. Neph became….angry. His parents hurting. Azrael fell.

No

Neph attacks

Ouro gets sidetracked

“What is this???”

a small being fighting god. A small being is….not a small being.

A scar appears. The serpent feeling….pain.

THIS CANT HAPPEN

Ouro blows up. The universe blows up

The cycle starts anew

Ouro still has a scar.

This is…new…

Life and Death see potential. Neph is reborn once more through Azrael. Ouro barely senses much. They know something is wrong regardless

Bellona and Azumi are present
