❝SHINE THROUGH THE DARKEST MOMENTS!❞

════════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹════════

❝HEY, KAINAT...❞ You whispered at the God who was currently creating some flowers in his garden. He hummed softly as a response, you looked left and right before asking him ❝Where's Strofí..?❞

❝He'll probably be here in a few minutes.❞ He then plucked a few lilies and placed them on your ear. ❝There, all perfect!❞ He grinned, and you blushed at his stupid antics. It's been a few centuries since you've been created, yet this never fails to make you flustered.

❝Knock it off, Kainat..❞ You mumbled, covering your face in embarrassment. He only chuckled at your reaction and teased you furthermore. ❝Is little [N/N] flustered?!❞ He poked at your forehead repeatedly whilst making a grin that shines brighter than the sun, itself.

❝Are you guys having fun without me?❞ A voice said behind you, and Kainat sent them a blinding smile. ❝KATASTROFÍÍÍÍÍ!~❞ He exclaimed, happily snuggling into his arms whilst Katastrofí only huffed in annoyance.

❝Right on time!❞ You said, clapping your hands lightly as you summoned a console table with cupcakes, sweets, ice creams, macaroons with every flavour and lastly, your birthday cake. ❝It's been centuries since I've been created by dear Kainat, so this should be my 1,000,000th birthday!❞

❝ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!❞ Kainat exclaimed, rushing towards his seat and rocking his chair back and forth. You sometimes wonder did he break gravity or just has great balance...

❝Hey, [Y/N]...❞ Katastrofí mumbled, tapping your shoulders before handing you a warped present. ❝Here, I spent a year preparing it. If you dare to hate it then I'm going to summon a spear up your ass.❞

❝A-aha! O-of course, I will!❞ You waved your hands frantically, averting your eyes to somewhere else rather than the threatening-looking god in front of you. ❝Let's just see what is it first—❞ You went silent after unwrapping the gift.

It was a choker with a gem, but not just any gem... It was a sunset fire opal!

❝Katastrofí, this is so pretty!❞ You awed, treating it like glass, you were afraid that it would break if you handled it too roughly. ❝How could I ever hate a gift like this? I LOVE it!❞

❝This is no ordinary gemstone.❞ He then said, Kainat suddenly wrapped his arms around your neck. ❝And why's that, Strofí?~❞ Kainat sang in a tune, curious why is it not like other opals. Honestly, you were too. What makes it so different?..

❝That's because..❞ Katastrofí said, grabbing the gemstone lightly, and raising his other hand up in the sky. ❝Look carefully now.❞ The blue sky turned into a lovely sunset, moving his hands again it changed into nighttime with stars shining brightly as if it was waving its hand and saying happy birthday to you.

❝OOOHHHHH~! THE GEMSTONE CHANGED!❞ Kainat whistled, grabbing the gemstone and putting it in front of his face veil. ❝This is indeed no ordinary gemstone!❞ He laughed, giving it back to you.

However, you didn't focus on the gemstone, instead, you focused on the now starry sky. ❝Hello? Mount Olympus to [N/N]~ ❞ Kainat snapped his finger in front of your face, making you snap out of your trance. ❝Huh?.. Oh yeah, this gemstone is the best birthday gift I've ever gotten in centuries! Thanks, Katastrofí!❞

❝Of course! After all, I spent 1 year making this. So it should be the most perfect gemstone out of anyone else in this universe!❞ He boasted, placing his hands on his hips, puffing his chest out as he made an approving face. ❝Besides, I also—❞

❛The stars do shine more and more brightly every year, huh..?❜ You thought as you sat on the table and reached out for the stars. ❝It's even brighter than Kainat's smile..❞ You rest for a moment, enjoying the breeze and silence.

It's nice to escape from those people sometimes, and by those 'people', you meant the gossipers. Gods, maidens, paracletes gossiping behind your back, whispering about your being in the universe, questioning the God of Creativity of why he choose to create a 'puny human'.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turn into years. They made you hide behind these wall's shadows, it was difficult now and then since guards would break down those walls to search for you. Hide and seek is fun, they say...

Day to dawn, and dawn to night. It was exhausting and annoying to keep hiding amongst the wall's shadow, you swear in Kainat's and Katastrofí's names, they have an obsession with you! 

You took another deep breath, slightly shaking your head. Now is not the time to think of those sad and pathetic moments, now is the time to finally be at peace and get some fresh air. You could also get stargaze, this is practically the perfect spot!

❝AWEE!~ SO YOU DO CARE ABOUT ME AND [N/N]!~❞

..Welp, there goes your peace and quality time to stargaze on your birthday. ❝WHA?! NO, I DON'T!❞ You sighed at their pitiful antics, might as well do a countdown while you're at it.

❝ADMIT IT!~ YOU HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR US!~❞

5.

❝NO, YOU DIPSHIT. I D-DON'T.❞

4.

❝HOLY GAIA! YOU STUTTERED! THAT MEANS YOU DO!❞

3.

❝THAT'S IT! COME OVER HERE, YOU BITC—❞

2.

❝WAIT, NO! I'M SORRY, DON'T—❞

1.

❝RAWGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!❞

You chuckled at their childish behaviours, it's rare for the infamous God of Destruction to act like a child. You may perhaps notice this earlier than anyone else, but sometimes it's nice to have someone company you...

You sighed at them, yet a smile graced your face as you looked at them adoringly. ❝C'mon, you dorks. Are we celebrating my birthday or not?❞ You chuckled at their reaction by saluting and shouting, ❝YES MA'AM!/Yes ma'am!~❞

❝Hehe~❞ Kainat giggled, covering his lower face as he giggled. ❝Dibs on the vanilla cupcakes.❞ Katastrofí then taunted back, smiling smugly as he grabbed one of the macarons. ❝Then dibs on the strawberry macarons.❞

You grabbed plates of sweets and cupcakes and happily enjoyed it as a food fight was happening across the table. ❝Mmmm!~❞ You moaned, happily munching into it. ❝I have swuch gwood tawste!❞

After a few moments of both of the chaotic gods having a playfight and you over there cheerfully eating food, you finally grab the cake knife and the two gods placed their hands above you. ❝Are you guys ready?❞

❝Fuck yeah!❞

❝YES YES YES!!❞

❝HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAREST [N/N] / HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, DORK!❞ They both cheered pulling the leash on the party popper, confetti decorated your face and the floor and companied by the sound of laughing behind the background.

Time stopped for a moment... Decorations and cakes were where they should be, everyone was at their place, and the timing is perfect. EVERYTHING is perfect! You wish every day could be as perfect and cheerful as this, unfortunately.. Tyche wasn't on your side this time.

❝Let's cut the birthday cake, shall we?❞ You grabbed the cake knife excitedly, a smile blooming on your face. ❝Dibs on the chocolate bar!❞

❝LORD OF CREATION, THE KING WISHES YOUR PRESENCE.❞

You squeaked, surprised by a sudden noise echoing in the garden, and accidentally dropping the cake knife onto the cake top. You tried to pick it back up but Kainat dragged you to the table and hid you under there. ❝Kainat, my birthday cake!..❞

❝SILENCE YOU, IGNORANT MORTAL.❞

❝What..?❞ You mumbled in fear, eyes widening at the new arrival, lips biting and hands fiddling. ❝Who are they, Kainat?❞ Your creator didn't respond, not smiling like before but instead, he was frowning and clenching his fists.

❝Tsk..❞ Katastrofí clicked his tongue in annoyance, moving his hands as a giant sword appeared on it. ❝Already? Damn, I thought I destroyed the last one..❞ He mumbled quietly, though you still heard him through your sharp ears, his eyes were flashing the word 'DEATH'.

❝YOU WILL BE DEALT WITH PROPERLY LATER, EXECUTUINOR OF SINS.❞

❝HAH?!❞ An irk appeared on his face, gripping his giant sword tightly as he swung towards the servant. ❝Don't.❞ Kainat held his hands out, a protective barrier protecting the servant as Katastrofi gritted his teeth, annoyed that he didn't kill them.

❝What's going on?!❞ You yelled out, alerting the servant. Katastrofí's golden eyes were glowing brightly just like the stars in the skies. ❝Pests.❞ He answered, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the giant sword even tighter than before.

❝...PLEASE FOLLOW ME, LORD OF CREATION.❞

You poked your head out of the table you were hiding under, able to get a closer look at the servant. They wore a white yukata, another face veil similar to the two angered gods, covering their entire face as they held a scroll.

❝Don't you dare follow that fucking pest, moron!❞ Katastrofí demanded the frowning god, throwing the sharp spear at the servant, but the servant skillfully caught it and threw it back. ❝Tch.❞

❝PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT, EXECUTUINOR OF SINS. THIS IS THE KING'S ORDER, NOT MINE.❞

The blue sky could no longer be seen as black stormy clouds blocked the view, all you could hear were thunder sounds and the heavy wind. Everywhere was swiped by the tornados, which means... Your birthday cake also disappeared within the tornado!

R.I.P Birthday Cake. You'll be missed very dearly...

❝Hah.. If only it lasted for a moment longer.❞ Kainat took a deep breath whilst looking up at the sky, you looked at his broad back and began to grip his sleeves as a sign of your nervousness rising. ❝Move, Strofí.❞

❝WHAT?! NO WAY IN HEAVEN AM I GOING TO LET YOU JUST GET KILLED BY HIM—❞ The raven-coloured god said before closing his lips tight, his eyes widening with a hint of fear. ❝I—❞

❝Move.❞

The once merciful and carefree god is now furrowing his eyebrows, a dark aura spreading everywhere and his white hair floating. ❝I will not repeat myself, Katastrofí.❞ The dark aura only intensified when he spoke once more. ❝Move before things get worse.❞

❝WH—❞ Kainat swatted his sleeves away from your grip and used telekinesis to grab a hold of your body and followed the servant to the hallway. ❝HEY, COME BACK HERE! I'M NOT FINISHED YET YOU ASSHOLE!❞

❝YOU WILL BE IN COURT IN APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, I DO HOPE THAT YOU ARE PREPARED FOR TRIAL.❞

❝I'm sorry, Katastrofi. But I have already made THEM, I have to face the consequences of my actions..❞ Your so-called creator said before using his power to shut the door close, banging and shouting can be heard from the inside. ❝Even if you hate me for all eternity..❞ 

❝Hey, Kainat..? D-did I do something wrong?❞ You stuttered, shifting to a more comfortable position. ❝Nothing is wrong.❞ He grumbled as he continued to walk, the banging and shouting behind the door grew more and more intense as you get 'kidnapped' away.

BANG!                             

                 BANG!                     

BANG!

Silence took over the room as you stopped at your destination, which was a huge door with a woman holding a sword and a scale. ❝Kainat, please tell me what's wrong..!❞ You pleaded as you fell down on the concrete floor, hissing at the pain.

❝I SUGGEST YOU TELL YOUR 'LITTLE CREATION' TO BE CAREFUL OF WHAT THEY SAY IN COURT AS EVERY WORD AND SENTENCE WILL BE RECORDED IN THE SCROLLS OF JUSTICE.❞

❝What on Mother Gaia is happening..!❞ You whispered yelled, making him turn around with a scowl on his face, though he wasn't scowling at you he was scowling at the servant. ❝Well, to put it simply, [N/N]..❞

❝We're under the eyes of Themis.❞
