As the Sacred Cocoon levitated ever so elegantly in the center of the Trinity Plaza, the citizens of the crystalline city of Virtana started to gather around the magnificent megastructure. The convergence of the Twins was almost near, and with it their most awaited Emergence of the Last Guardian.
In the growing crowd, a little girl began fussing his papa.
“Tell me the story again Papa” she begged.
“Again?” asked the young man, “You’ve heard it multiple times already”.
“I know, but today’s the day isn’t it? Todays the special day and since you’re the best storyteller there is, I want to hear it again, from you!” replied his little daughter.
“Oh you cheeky little flatterer” as he pinched her cheek. “Fine, anything for you sweety”.
“Yeeeeeeeyyyy!” happily responded the girl.
“Settle down now” said the father as he carried his daughter towards the Plaza. “Long ago, long before your grandfather’s, grandfather’s, grandfather was born, there were more cities just like this one. There were twenty of them, each with their own unique culture, full with their own unique people. There were also Twenty Guardians, one for each city, that protected and cared for it. The Twenty Guardians were the children of the GreatFather and Mother who guarded the Light Giver that travelled the sky. No one kno-“
“Hey!”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“You didn’t describe what they looked like!”
“But you already know what they looked like”
“I know but everybody has their own idea what they looked like. This time I want to know yours.”
“Well if you insist. The Guardians looked exactly like us, but bigger, waaay bigger, and is made of pure beauty and light. They never speak for the sweet melody of their voice is enough to kill a person in pure joy.
As for the Great Father and Mother, no one knows what they looked like since they never left the Light Giver’s side, but we do know that they were two of them and they loved the Guardians just much as they loved us. Now what part of the story did we stop?”
“You said No one kno-eh” answered the girl as she contorted her face.
“Why you little”
“Hahahaha, no, no, stop, stoop, ahhahaha.”
“Hehehe, serves you right, now on with the story. No one knows when they came or what they were, but one thing we know is for certain; they loved us, all of us. Although our size and abilities had a stark contrast compared to theirs, they loved and cared for us as if we were their own, in return we loved them twice as much.
We were all happy until the Jealous One ruined everything. You see, there were in fact 21 Guardians not 20. The 21st was sealed by the Great Father for not only he but even the Great Mother and the other 20 Guardians knew it didn’t want to create or protect, it wanted to destroy and harm. So they sealed it in the center of our planet, where our gravity will forever contain it away from us. But they didn’t know the hidden power of the Jealous One. They didn’t knew that it could infect our minds with its tainted ideas turning everyone into the Tainted.
Little by little it infected each of us and before They figured it out, it was all too late. The Tainted had created weapons in secret, horrible weapons that killed our dear Guardians. They could not fight back, no, they didn’t fight back, because they loved us all too well and they knew it wasn’t us that was attacking them. The Great Father and Mother could only watch the carnage as they can’t leave the Light Giver for it need to continuously shine our world so that the Jealous One may not escape and spread its infection to the other worlds.
After the Tainted destroyed the Guardians they then decided to destroy their cities and each other. With a heavy heart, the Grand Father and Mother gave their still young twins to the Light Giver, to split it into two so that the light, although weaker, will always shine on every side of our world. With their last essence of being they transformed into the Sacred Cocoon that protected the last least destroyed city, Virtana, our home.
The Sacred Cocoon, together with the perpetual light of the Twins, lifted our city and created this barrier that protected us from the Tainted who lived below.
Every two revolutions, the Twins will momentarily converge above the Sacred Cocoon, giving off a pulse off bright light before separating again. It is said that on the 245th Convergence, the Sacred Cocoon shall open and give birth to the last Guardian, the last of its kind, who shall purify the Tainted and forever destroy the Jealous One. That day is called the Emergence and you’re lucky, we all are, because that day is today!”
“Citizens of Virtana, the Sacred Cocoon has started to open, rejoice and let us welcome the Final Guardian!” yelled the High Chancellor of Virtana.
“Daddy, daddy it’s opening, its opening!”
“I know sweety, I’m shaking, and I’m so excited!”
As the Cocoon unraveled its crystalline thread, it revealed an immense humanoid creature who had just awakened from its long hundred years of slumber.
The citizens of Virtana rejoiced for the Last Guardian has finally emerged.
“I-It’s, it’s, it’s a lie. It’s a lie! The Codex said that the Final Guardian is a being of immense beauty and radiated the purest of light, but this Guardian is, is…….is beyond that! Using the word absolute and perfection is an insult to the Last Guardian! My dear, behold the otherworldly beauty of the Last Guardian!”
“I am dadddy! It’s so beautiful!"
“Yes, it’s okay to cry my dear. The Last Guardian is here, the world will be in peace at la-“
The father stopped as he noticed the immense severed head of the Guardian falling towards them.
“Look out!” screamed the father as he barely saved his daughter from the gargantuan bloody object.
“What happened? Is this, blood?! Aaaaahh! Daddy, what is that?! What’s it doing to the Guardian?!”
“Don’t look sweety. We got to hide”
A creature of ungodly size and beyond grotesque image, was devouring the sweet flesh of the Last Guardian. No one knew where it came from, but they saw it appear out of thin air and sliced the Guardians head off like it was nothing. The citizens screamed and panicked at the sight of what was supposed to be the most powerful being of their world being slowly ripped to shreds by a creature so full of hate and anger. Those who weren’t crushed to death by the fallen Guardian’s head attempted to escape but it was all for naught. The creature have completely devoured the Guardian and was now hungry for more. It let out a blood curdling scream, destroying the eardrums of some Virtanans, before a million tentacles grew out from its body, snatching everyone within its reach, including the little girl.
“Daddy! Help!”
“Hold on sweety! Hoooldoooonn!
“Daddy, daddy, aaaargh! It hurts, it hurts, it hur-
…………
“……. Sweety? Aaaaaaaaaah!” screamed the father as he threw his daughter arms.
“Wh-wh-what is happening? WHAT IS HAPPENINNG!!”
The father screamed at the top of his lungs, but was drowned out by the screams of the other Virtanans being ripped apart, turned inside out, immolated, and the sounds of their great crystal skyscrapers shattering and crumbling to the ground, whose broken shards impaled those who were near. For the first time in 500 years, the Twins descended from the sky and tried to attack the creature only to be ripped apart. Their innocent screams of pain resonated throughout the body of those who heard it. As the once great city of Virtana, who lost its Guardian, began its descent towards the Tainted, the father could only look on the creature as it continued its carnage to its home and people. He picked up his daughter arms and hugged as hard as he can.

Relax man. I just used our last resort.
You mean, that machine?
Yep. That machine.
But it was still under development. It could have caused a self-replicating tear in space!
Well it didn’t and it worked so just relax.
You didn’t have the authority to activate it.
