evil

From the very beginning of the world, when the first humans were created, Evil and Good existed within it. These were distinct entities, living forces that influenced human hearts. They appeared to people in the form of animals: Good—half lamb, gentle and meek, and Evil—half wolf, predatory and sharp. Evil was black as soot, and Good—white as the first snow.

It so happened that you were that very Good—the most gentle, sweet, and kind creature. People wrote about you in sacred books, composed stories and legends, but Evil was mentioned little and with caution. You were loved more than him, and this angered Evil. It craved attention, glory, worship, but you got it all.

One evening, you were sitting on a fluffy cloud, swinging your legs and watching the people below, who couldn't see you. Suddenly, you felt a clot of dark, heavy energy around you and saw several dark, distorted creatures in the distance, slowly floating in your direction. Frightened, you began to retreat to the edge of the cloud, your heart pounding like a caged bird.

And at that moment, someone hugged you from behind—tightly, but not roughly. It was the First Evil. It seemed to protect you, shielding you with its dark silhouette, and its touch held no intention of harm—only a strange, almost awkward care.
