Eve was growing envious of Abraxas and Demiurge. Why was it they got to create new ideas in their pursuits of perfection, but Eve was stuck with only what could come of her own knowledge? Were they not supposed to be pursuing perfection together? Banded together by their hatred of the discord Demiurge's father wrought. They were supposed to be different—but Eve had never felt farther from her fellow Archons. Eve had never felt more alone. Perhaps, she thought, what she was missing was a muse.
Demiurge had the muse of his own spontaneity, eagerly pushed forward by an unending curiosity of what might happen next as he swings his stolen hammer at the forge of creation. Abraxas had the muse of his own passion, coals stoked by his own inner fire to see his work completed, to see a Universe unlike the nightmare they had escaped from. Eve… had boredom. That was her muse, and Eve no longer felt it was an appropriate one. She lusted for something more
Eve sat alone in her garden; her hands pressed firmly into the grassy earth. She closed her eyes, concentrating on the warmth of her creation. With a deep breath, Eve slowly pulled her hands away revealing a small, glowing red seedling. A new type of flower she had never seen before. The seedling blossomed into a beautiful red rose, as it began to glow even brighter as it grew taller and taller, its single petals fanning out as if to block out Eden's sun. The stem of the flower split open at its peak, and inside was a perfectly formed woman—one with skin as pale as the moon, and hair that glistened with the same shimmering radiance. As the woman's eyes slowly opened, her irises were a bright glowing red, like the seedling from which she was born. She was beautiful—no, she was perfect.
Eve felt something stir within her. An emotion she had never known before. Her heart began to race. She felt a sense of urgency, a sense of excitement, and a sense of… dread? As Eve reached out to her muse—everything stopped. Then rewound. And everything was perfect again.
Nothing ever changes.
