The Solaria Chronicles : Episode 'Unknown'

The Solaria Chronicles: Episode 'Unknown' Part 1; Solar Arc 

"Real or Not? Lucis Questions her Existence!"

Balance had been being particularly aggravating recently, and Lucis was beyond tired of it. She was no inexperienced, naive, unknowing newly-created being anymore, and it was time she stood up for herself. "Balance, get down here." That was the first surprise of the day. Lucis was ordering Balance to come to her and not the other way around. It was time they talked on equal footing, and the only way that would occur would be to stay close enough to Solaria to keep in contact with the Eternus Crystal.

The grayish crystal was filled with blue, purple, silver, and gold threads of power and energy, all swirling around and through each other continuously. It was the power source of Solaria, and intricately tied to whomever the current ruler was. Right then, it was Lucis that was the queen of the palace on the sun.

It took several minutes for Balance to arrive, and Lucis was ready and waiting for her. "Balance, enough of this. I won't do your dirty work anymore. Either you need to STOP your drastic measures, or you need to do things yourself and expect that I'll be there to try and stop you. From now on, I stand on my own. I won't bow to you two anymore."

"Stupid creation, do you not remember why you have remained in my service so long?" The white-haired, pale woman stared straight at Lucis, whom instead of cringing, for once kept her back straight and simply reached one hand behind her, placing it flat on the Eternus Crystal's multifaceted surface.

"I remember. And now it's my turn to reverse the favor on you. Stop your senseless murders, or I'll stop them for you, right here, right now. And stay away from my family, bi***." A gold and purple strand of light floated from the Eternus Crystal and looped around itself a few times, creating a flowing and complex symbol.

"There is a large chance that trying that will destroy you, Light," Balance pointed out tonelessly, "Are you willing to accept that possibility?"

"If it will get rid of you and keep everyone I love safe, yes. I'll risk anything for them." Glaring, the brunette crossed her arms, "And my NAME is Lucis, Balance."

"Only real creatures and humans have names, Light. You are neither. Desist this game of having emotions."

"You're wrong. I'm real. I'm just as real as anyone else. I have emotions, I can bleed, I can breathe. I can even die. When I burn out, I become human. I'm real, Balance, and that's why I know you're wrong." She was sure of it, smiling confidently, even at the look on Balance's face that usually preceded her being beat to within an inch of her death and then expected to stay conscious through a four-hour lecture. 

"Your impudence vexes me, Light."

"I'm not scared this time, Balance. I know I'm right, and I know I'll win I it comes down to a fight."

"You are WRONG. You are nothing reminiscent of real, or human. You were created by Existence and I for one single purpose, and that was to do as we bid you. You accepted that when you awoke, under the conditions that you would be immediately destroyed if you did not do as we bid you. You are not human, you are simple light given sentience; not emotions, not a personality, and most certainly not a NAME. All of those are intrinsically human, some thing you are not. We have been very lenient with you, Light. We have given you far too many chances already. I am willing to offer you this last one. Leave now, forget this temporary bout of rebelliousness, and go do as I bid; I will allow you to keep your so-called humanity if you do. But refuse again, and everyone you 'love' will suffer, Light."
