Rising Sun

Summary:

A Goddess of the Sun looks back at where she began

Notes:

A little series of ficlets based in my Watcher Lore AU, centered around Gem and the effects of being partially made from the repurposed code of a dead God

Chapter Text

Her birth wasn’t gradual, not something spawned in by the natural systems of the world. One moment, she didn’t exist—and the next, she did, fully aware of the world around her.

She didn’t know much, but she did know who—what—she was. She was GeminiTay. She was a Player. She was so much more than that.

Yet something felt wrong. There was a sense of absence, an emptiness inside her, as if something vital had been torn away. But that didn’t make sense—she knew, with absolute certainty, that she hadn’t existed until just moments ago.

Shaking her head, she pushed the thought aside and scanned her surroundings once more, her gaze settling on a forest in the distance. She could ponder her situation later, for now she needed to gather resources.

With a goal in mind, she began walking. After all, she already knew what came next—just as all Players did.

Create. Destroy. Shape the world, even as it shapes you.

Live.
