Fall from Eden

Summary:

Mortals may move at the behest of Divine will, however that does not mean the Divine are infallible to set backs.

Notes:

Wanted to get a fic in before the game came out, and then I remembered the cutscene from the opening cinematics.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

A never-ending ebon spread out as far as conscience could perceive. Silent and somber darkness spread out in every direction.

In that primordial loneliness, a lone body floated aimlessly. The countless pieces of astral debris and the eternal void were its only companions.

Then...

In what should have been eternal silence, a wave rippled through, slowly turning into waves and then reaching a crescendo, ripping apart the very fabrics of time and space. Through the maws of the newly formed tear;

She appeared

A figure clad in shining white descended from the orange tear, stopping Infront of the lonely body; the light radiating from her countenance stirring something in it.

'A....goddess....'  something inside the body muttered. The so called goddess seemed to have noticed it, as she wore a smile. Ever so slowly, she floated towards the body. Once she stood face to face, a golden aura sprung from her left hand, and then-

*STAB* 

It pierced the bosom of the body. However, instead of cutting through, a tear formed on the body itself. It's ice cold heart started to slowly beat after an unconceivable amount of time. The hand then slowly moved downwards, making its way to the right arm, slowly clasping the palm, then gently it towards her face, where it remained for a fleeting moment as the a smile crept across her visage.

Something stirred within the body once more, slowly gripping her palm in response. In return came a push.

A sensation of falling engulfed the body as her figure became more distant. The sensation only grew, accompanied by a cacophony of noise. Then-

silence

As soon as it hid come, the sensation of falling stopped, replaced by something warm that engulfed the body. Slowly opening its eyes, it saw sparks of gold guiding its way in the watery expanse it now found itself in. It reacted almost instantly, moving forward towards the light.

"HUAHH!" the figure gasped for air, as the sight of a descending sun greeted it. The scenery beneath it was stunning, breathtaking so, something stirring in it once again.

"It's so..." the body started.

"beautiful..." another voice ended.

The utterance elicited surprise, as the body turned in the direction, only to find the owner staring back at it, black hair and wide eyes intently observing and filled with as much surprise as his.

Before either could utter another word, a new change occurred; they fell.

As the bellowing of the air enveloped their ears and the force of rapid descent their body, both continued to lock eyes; as if non of the surroundings mattered, except for this being that was reflected in their iris.

Once again, something stirred; in both of them. They moved closer as best they could, and once they were close enough, they embraced each other, and then as they did the most reasonable action next:

A kiss.

The world then faded to white.

Notes:

Been quite some time since I actually wrote anything, much less a fanfic for that matter. Decided to try to get back into it, and Wuthering Waves seems like the perfect time and fandom to start my return to fanfic, so you'll be seeing me around these parts, and yes, Rover is an Isekai protag in my eyes. That Lucia lookalike from PGR literally created a portal to throw us into Solaris-3.
