The Journey of Akasha

*BaDump!*

Hearing these words Akasha heart pounded. Right now, his mind was racing with countless thoughts and questions. He stood there frozen looking at the beauty sitting in the air and for reasons even he didn't know. 

A single crystal tear fell from his eyes.

Seeing this the young lady in the sky felt pained and she wanted to instantly go a hug him. But she didn't, she knew this would be a lot to take in so, she held herself back. She allowed him to gather himself.

After a few moments Akasha took a deep breath and the began to ascend into the sky. When he reached a leveled height, he sat down cross-legged in the air. He took a look a deep look at the woman sitting across of him.

In a realm beyond fabrics of reality itself. Two beings that looked practically identical aside from their gender sat in silence. Then after a few minutes Akasha spoke.

"Mother...." His voice was now calm and collected. Akasha knew that he didn't have the time to drown in some bullshit emotions, so he gathered himself and continued. 

"What is going on?" He asked a question that seemed simple. But they both knew that it had several meanings behind it.

Hearing her son, she took a deep breath and spoke 

{Do you want the short or long version?} 

"Just keep it short for now, I have tons of questions anyways. How did I end up here and what is this place?" 

{Well, this is home, my home and yours. This was the place your egg first began forming at and after some time I moved it to Universe 4. And you are here now because... I wanted to see you....} As she said the last part her voice became very soft as if she was shy. 

Noticing this Akasha raise an eyebrow, but didn't mention it. He nodded hearing this and then ask another question. 

"You wanted to see me? Why can't you just visit me normally?"

His mother mood instantly became gloomy hearing that. 

{Heh, well my dear son, it's because I am too strong. Imagine being the first thing to ever exist. Literally before all of existence there was only me. I had no purpose or even knew how I came to be, but at that time I had no need for those answers.} She began speaking and her tone was a bit sad. 

Hearing the tone and the look on her face, Akasha felt his heart sting. He didn't know why but he hated seeing her like that. It was like his very existence wanted to cherish this woman before him. But he controlled himself and listened closely. 

{So, I began creating. The very first thing I created was... you. With the essence from my being I created you, but for some reason you weren't born instantly. In fact, as you know you took an extremely long time before your birth happened. 

After that I began creating all of existence. Everything seemed natural to me, like my purpose was meant to create everything. So, I did exactly that and after many eons things eventually evolved into the state of now.} She said looking at Akasha. 

Akasha was a bit amazed that she was literally the creator of everything. But he still said

"But how does that relate to you not being able to visit me normally?"

His mother displayed a sad smile hearing that which again stabbed at Akasha's heart. 

{Can you imagine that after all of that and even more eons of observing all of creation, that I could never experience it myself? Heh, crazy right? 

After eons of observing creation, I attempted to experience it myself, but that's when I found out that I'm simply too strong.} 

Hearing this Akasha was a bit confused. He expected something totally different. Something like 'After I created everything, I found out I was just a pawn in a bigger game' or some shit.

But this?

".... Can't you just limit your power?" He asked 

His mother's mood lightened up a bit hearing this question. 

{Hehe dear, I am not talking too strong as in cultivation. If that were the case, I would not be locked away here. The stronger you go into cultivation you will eventually reach a state where your very existence will affect reality. 

Every universal powerhouse is so strong because they hold weight throughout existence. And that is not something you can restrain, that is why you will never find people in the 4th realm of power or higher in the lower dimensions. 

In my case its much worse, even if I were to step into the highest dimension the entirety of creation would be reduced to nothing.}

Akasha finally began to understand what she was getting at. All he could say was 

"That's insane...." 

Imagine creating everything and being forced to watch in solitude from a distance. 

It's maddening!

{Yes, it is, that's why I mostly sleep my time away unless something interesting is going on.} She said casually. 

"...So, what was the purpose of my existence?"

{It wasn't a purpose... it was instinct. Just like everything else I created except you were different. From the moment I gained consciousness I instinctually felt that you were needed to be. You are literally 50% of me if we're speaking technical.} she said before continued. 

{That was at first at least. As I said before for some odd reason after I split half of my Origin you didn't come into existence instantly. When I learned that I couldn't explore creation personally I wondered would you be able to. 

I don't know maybe driven by instincts again or just out of curiosity I moved your egg to the edge of Universe 4. At the time there weren't any planets or even Galaxy's, the universes were practically babies. 

Time passed and your incubation began to increase at speeds much faster than it did here. Not only that the process of creation also began to increase. It was if you were the missing catalyst for everything and vice versa.

I then noticed that creation didn't crumble under you but in instead helped you while you helped it. This was because although you were half of my origin your existence didn't carry weight. I made the conclusion that by me personally creating everything it made my weight the limit creation could handle.}

Hearing his mother Akasha eyes slowly began to widen as he pieced together what she was getting at. He remembered the recent changes to The Sanctuary and then his most recent Gacha item 'The Universal Tree Seed'. Putting all this together he said

"Wait! Don't tell me you...."
