"Do you believe that all existence has a purpose?"
First, she was standing in the middle of pure darkness, then came loud crushing and clashing sounds, like things were being thrown all over the place. It seemed like it was done intentionally by someone who was having a hysterical outburst. Then after comes a husky scream of extreme desperation, exasperation and wrath.
Unspoken thoughts are echoing.
"ALL OF YOU SHOULD D*E!"
"SO MUCH FOR USING ME!!"
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!"
"I WON'T LET ALL OF YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
"I LET YOU D*E t"
"DI*!!!"
"DI*!!!"
After a few seconds, a girl suddenly appears from the darkness. She is around 14 years old and looks almost exactly like her. No, this girl she is seeing is not a younger version of herself. She is different. The Debbie who is currently watching is in her 30s.
The young Debbie walked swiftly past her like a ghost. Right now, she is not visible to the young lady. She is like a spectator standing in the middle of the stage, like the whole scene was happening right before her very eyes and she is in the midst of it.
A doppelganger but someone younger. Doppelgangers are supposed to be around the same age to be considered as one, right?
She heard another voice coming from behind. When she turns around, she sees herself seated at her balcony. She's a hundred percent sure that that's her. Her nightdress, her appearance after a long day of work, her postures, her mannerisms, her favorite resting place and her favorite chair where she used to sit.
She heard things coming from that woman even though she was not speaking. Just like the young Debbie earlier, she can hear her thoughts.
"(Sigh) I'm so exhausted that I just wanted to die," she said with such indifference and numbness. She's saying it like nothing seems to matter anymore, like death will be her savior. It will give her the perfect rest and peace that she always wanted.
She jolted from another crashing sound coming from the young girl behind her. She is still wrecking things.
People who seemed like servants came to tame her down. Their appearances were all different from hers; they are like a cast of a play.
The young Debbie destroys everything around her, anything that her hand reaches and touches. She is dangerous but still looks so fragile. How ironic? They cannot even stop her.
She is continuously cursing.
"TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!!"
"I DON'T WANT THIS! I'D RATHER D*E!"
Indeed, she was the young Debbie that she encountered recently. The one who keeps insisting on switching places? She still wonders, why was she so into the exchange? Was it the same reason she is having a crash out?
Then the dream shifted to another, and suddenly she found herself wearing a white dress. Walking towards a severely bright light. It is different from a typical casual light; the rays are quite different, and it doesn't make shadows when it hits things—instead, it devours them, even her. Something that cannot be touched but will certainly take over you. It'll make you perish. It is a light that penetrates even through the bones. Blinding as it is, warm, intense and eternal as it feels. Light is not a matter but an energy yet if you wish to describe this one, you can describe it as solid light.
Was she being sacrificed? Why in a wedding dress? Though she would never have imagined that she'd wear one.
After a few seconds she is now standing right there in front of her groom. Although, she can't even see his face. The ceremony ended without her knowing the person she was married to.
Then a voice was heard like it was injected in her head, "Now you have a purpose, so now do your mission." It made her puzzled.
Everything shifted again for the 3rd time. This time she found herself having the last conversation she had with the young Debbie before the assault happened.
"Why do you still cling to the things around you even if they hurt you? That's ironic. It is happening but you don't really like it. If you don't like it, why are you so attached to it?" The young Debbie stated persuasively. "Why don't we switch places?" she offered with a serious face. The same offer she had been hearing ever since they first met.
"Even though how disappointing it is it is what it is and it's still mine. It's kind of weird if you think it's that bad but you still want to switch places," she said.
Touching the nerve of the hot headed girl. It triggered her to do such unimaginable thing. The young Debbie took a heavy pan and then hit her head while she is washing the dishes. She fell unconscious.
Her 3rd dream ended and then she woke up. There is nothing but pure darkness. She was so frightened that she started to call for help.
Was she sold to the devil? Was she brought to hell?
Is her soul trapped in the abyss?
People rush to help her while carrying a small candlelight.
"My lady!" "Madam!" They call. They sound worried but the feeling of relief was felt in general.
"She finally woke up!" A quivering voice of a woman exclaimed. It seems like everyone is hoping for her to wake up.
Then a man came and when he heard the news, he left the room shouting.
"She's awake! She's awake!" he exclaimed.
It was all pitch black and the cold temperature is freezing and the small light from the candles and torches helped to ease the darkness and her fear. The people around her, even though she knows none of them. It helps a lot to calm her down.
It just means that she is still alive, not in hell, not in the abyss but in an unknown place.

And in the beginning,
God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning and that was the first day.
One king from the previous lineage made a deal with the devil. He bought the whole world using the lives of the people because he wanted to reign for all eternity and that also includes immortality, but the devil tricked him. Little did he know that he was reviving a beast that would devour everything that he was paying for.
A knight found out about the deal and instead of sacrificing another innocent life, he pushed the king into the mouth of the beast. Someone who pledged his loyalty to the royal family must have killed himself if he turned his back on the oath he gave, but the people instead made him king and became the ancestor of the current lineage.
Hence, the conflict did not end there; they cannot overpower the beast and the chaos it brings. It grew so large that it devoured the star of their universe and that's the greatest price they have to pay.
Overall they are all dying, so all the creations planned to have a meeting. All rational beings, such as humans, underwater sea creatures, flying creatures of the sky and beasts of the ground, all call for the fallen and the beasts of the galaxy just to survive. They have done all that it takes to live and lastly, they elected a priest that will at least pray for forgiveness on behalf of them, the fallen creation.
The creation destroyed everything but still the Creator shows mercy by giving a dew of light but not the same as what they had before. They'll have to pay for everything as the consequence of this crime man had committed.
"Man will live beneath beast from now on; power will be given; however, it will come to all of you in the form of a curse; you will have it in vain," said the words of the Creator.
In this world, it is not the concept of God and man but the idea of the Creator and the creation.
