Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]

That annoying buzz made me wake up and I was surrounded by complete darkness! Some things sparkle around me but I know those sparkling things were far away from me. My mind supplied they were stars and I am alone in the space. I looked around and I moved around the place. A voice ringed in my mind telling that 'Time' didn't come to existence as the solar system was yet to be formed in a few hundred years. I didn't understand anything at the moment. I have no form but I do exist. I roamed around the place and defined a certain circle of the place make me feel good.

After a certain period, a huge cloud of gas and dust formed in the centre of the place which I claim it as home. Then the solar system formed. The voice again asked me to go and see the bright burning ball in the centre. To my amazement that burning ball spoke to me. That invisible voice introduced us to each other as Aadhavan, The Sun God and Layla, The Goddess of darkness. I loved my name. Then that voice told that we are so powerful and in the next few millennia life will form in the third planet to the Sun and we have to support their life system and to manage the souls form there. We both were confused but we were told to wait till it happens. I visited every planet and wondered about them. But the third planet already had my interest. Also, I am happy that I am no more alone as I got a new company.

Then one day that invisible voice called me near the Sun. I went there and the voice introduced us to a white gas like a thing was there. She called that as soul and it was going to be the new addition to us. He will be Moon for the planets to bring the balance among them and it will make the better habitat for the life going to form here. In a few years, the moons started forming for the planets. Climates formed. And many fascinating things happened followed by the birth of Chandran, The Moon God.

And our creator explained that we can ask the souls to aid us in the process and also give them certain powers to do their duties. Moon asked about his duties but that invisible voice asked he was already doing his duty of keeping balance among the planets. The Invisible voice gave us form and called it as human-alike form which was a species to be formed in the earth, the third planet in the next few millennia.

Soon the earth started showing signs of land surface emerging from the water melted from ice. Plants sprouted out and grew up into sky-high trees. My fascination grew more and I was so happy when life started forming and evolving into different forms of animals, birds and fishes. The invisible voice summoned us and now we knew she is the one created us all and guiding us. She ordered that I should manage the death and purify the soul for the mistake they commit during their life. And the purified soul will reach the Sun. The soul will stay there until it gets allocated to re-born. The souls which did many good deeds would either serve Sun or it can turn into a star. The purification is required so that the soul will start anew and free from the sins. It's a part of how the universe work.

Every life had done something wrong with or without their knowledge and the food chain made their soul taint more by developing the habit of killing one soul for food. So every soul will come directly to me to get punished. Initially, it was easy for me but later I wanted some aid like that invisible voice as the population of lives in the earth started to increase day by day. Sun and Moon have a defined place as home. I too wanted to create a fixed place to do the duty of soul purification. So I decided to create my realm near the earth. The earth is the most beautiful thing I have seen in all these millennia. Either covered with green or reddish plants which habitat various lives with the massive green oceans and colourful creatures. It was an enjoyable change.

Moon asked me to find a different place as he felt that I was invading his personal space as the realm was close to his orbit. But I liked the place and brought a big meteorite there and raised a castle in the middle and made the volcanoes on the left and ice on the right side of the castle. I want to re-create the replica of the earth here without living being that could form naturally. I loved purple trees on earth and created them around my castle too.

I started recruiting souls to serve me. They will aid my duties and I granted them human form similar to me and gifted their soul with immortality. They have high healing power and enhanced strength as they would have to deal with the rebellious souls. They no longer need to participate in the circle of birth and death. But I can change that status anytime I wanted. Sun did the same in his realm. These people were my pride as they were the definition of loyalty, responsibility and devotion. I granted them strength and enlightenment and they behaved well and organized. As time passed they saw the changes in the earth and adapted to time to time. A few natural calamities made my realm filled with souls and something better happened from every massive destruction. Humans evolved and civilizations started to develop.

I would go to earth to admire the nature and the captivating creatures. They do recognise me as their goddess. And the most heartwarming character was they would show their love to me. Whether I am in human form or sometimes I would disguise in their form, they never failed to show they have a heart in them. I stopped interacting with humans as they started developing pride that they are superior to all other creatures and started using them for their personal growth. Greed and envy rooted in them and nothing was enough for them.

Our creator asked us to let nature take care of things and we shouldn't get affected by the human behaviours as it was most likely tend to affect us being in similar form. Moon God always complained about my realm was invading his place. As time passed, we three realized the powers we have over the planets. The humans made my character loosen up a bit and I love to play with Sun and Moon. They will get irritated for sure but that didn't stop me. The Sun was also got temperament issues but he always supported for what is right when Moon complain about me doing playful things in his realm.

Moon's powers were limited as he didn't have special duties like me or Sun. I felt like he was feeling low about it and tried to lighten him up with little playing. But he never enjoyed them. Sun will sometime lash out on me and sometimes he would enjoy it with me. Once his anger reached its limit and even gave a curse to me that half of the humans will start fearing or repel my presence i.e., Darkness. He expected me to apologise or beg him to take the curse back. I am all playful and naughty but I have the attitude to not bow my head before anyone and can be so cruel enough to not melt for the mercy cries while the souls cry out while they get purified. Punishment is the best form of purification which often mistaken as cruel act. Karma make sure you get back what you give!

I don't have pride about my powers which I put to test and learned it's magnificent strength over the years but I never hesitated to use them to keep up my self-esteem.

I was spending my sunny afternoon with the herd of deer in the earth. I have responsibility but never liked to sit in the pits of the volcano to grant punishments for the souls or to sit in my throne and discuss the affairs all day. I studied the people serving me all these years and I created a hierarchy there. The humans were aware that their living was controlled by three Gods and they worship us. A few will take the path of spirituality and if we think their efforts were true, we will grant them immortality and take them to our realm to fulfil their wish of serving us. The top and my most favourite people in my realm were Aadhira and Kathir. They have almost access to everything in my realm and I can blindly trust them with anything. They were so efficient in running errands there. They were twin baby souls died in an accident without even coming to the surface of the earth. But they have always felt the love from their parents and they chose to serve me. They trained hard and overpowered many of my warriors in a few years and also earned my trust. Aadhira overlooks the realm and Kathir have control over vampires living in the earth.

The birth of vampires was a separate story as some of my warriors got attracted to human females and it leads to the birth of dangerous creatures. I never denied people having a companion in my realm as the basic need should not be denied. A few people were loyal to their companion and cherish it for eternity but a few enjoys one night stands with a clear mutual agreement to take off their pressure. I never involved in their private life but how can they take advantage of merging with humans? It created the extended life span among such bred off-springs and they crave blood and it is their main life source.

Sun and Moon were very angry that I was causing an imbalance in the earth but the invisible voice, our creator asked them to calm down and these things are happening as it was destined and we can't change that. She supported that I have no fault in the matter but asked me to take responsibility for them to which I agreed. These meetings would happen in the realm of the Sun. Unlike my place, his realm would be filled with everything golden and crimson. Him being the main source of energy developed him into a powerful God and I have lots of respect for him. He is always a responsible person and never let anything go wrong.

After the humans came into the scenario, there was a lot of changes happening on the earth. They are deviating from the spirituality and searching answers practically. Also, their behaviour has an impact on our behaviours. Conflicts arise often between me, Moon and Sun. Moon thinks I am irresponsible and playful which affects my duties and I am not fit for such responsibilities which always get on my nerves. If our arguments go beyond control, our creator's voice was needed to calm us down. Yet there are times when Moon or Sun might want to spend some time with me alone. I know what they want but I don't have any feelings for them.

My thought process interrupted when a deer calf nuzzled my sides and dropped a white lotus on my lap. I smiled and stroke its neck lovingly. Lillies and lotuses are my favourites. I leaned on the tree and looked at the river running in its way calmly. My intuition and heart were sensing about something from this morning but I couldn't understand the ache within me. I closed my eyes and listened to the music of nature and wondered about my recent recurring vision about receiving a gift from celestial. The vision always brought goosebump across my skin. I don't usually sleep. The way to regain our energy is by connecting to space in the way of meditation. And I use to have visions while doing them like people have dreams while sleeping.

My attention was attracted towards a group of children's giggle to my left a few feets away from here. I made myself invisible within a blink and looked at the human children running towards the bank of the river and playing among themselves. My lips curled on seeing the children laughing untroubled. A few tribes are residing here in the forest. They must belong to one among them. But it seems they didn't bring any elder to supervise them. I changed my form to a little girl and went to them. Children never question my belonging; they enjoy my company. I made my way to them but paused a few steps before, on seeing someone there. A man. He was sitting in the middle of them and that's why I couldn't see him earlier. His broad tan back was facing me and for some odd reason, I am getting nervous. His beautiful wavy black hair ends near his nape and I could get a glimpse of his black stone studded ear when he tucked his hair behind his ear. I could sense he wasn't a normal human. He is different and unique.

His back stiffened and I knew he sensed my presence behind him. He slowly turned his head sideways and looked at my direction. I sucked in a deep breath at the sight of so handsome man I ever laid my eyes on. The feminity which I almost believed as non-existent within me, made it's presence prominent for the first time in my life by making my heart race! Yes, Gods do have the same human body part but we have magical powers. I always liked all the living and non-living things exist on the earth. But I never felt this intense of attraction towards any of them. I gulped hard and stared at him without blinking. A thunder echoed behind me.
