A trembling infinite void. Within it, a myriad of indiscernible colors converged as they rippled through the remaining nothingness. The instability cried in the void yet offered no disturbance to the two women who stood in the middle.
However, even with their casual demeanor there remained a difference between them. The taller one, who’s black hair cascaded around her pale white skin, stared at the shorter one. Her piercing red eyes caused the shorter girl to shift side to side and tilt her head down.
"Mother. It was terrible, yes. That I admit. Yet you must understand, everyone’s made mistakes with divinity! Even you have failed to control your power every second of every century." The girl raised her head as she threw out her arms. Her auburnette hair shook at her waist at the force of the gesture. All the while, her glassily golden brown gaze makes its way to meet her mother’s dangerously sharp orbs.
“Avalanna. Vi. Jhamera. You still continue this incessant drivel attempting to diminish your oncoming punishment, which you know nothing about might I add. Yet, even still. You claim absolutely no responsibility for your actions which caused the destruction of worlds. I’ve told you many times; Stars. Are. Not. Toys. Now you have completely ruined the galaxy I’ve just created and lack the knowledge to fix it.” With every word, Avalanna’s mother leaned closer. Her voice grew colder with every breath she took to continue her onslaught.
Just as she finished, a pressure erupted from Avalanna’s mother that swept across the void that multiplied its trembling. The myriad of colors who blew into nothingness as the older woman’s blood red orbs shone in the darkness.
Avalanna’s attempted firm demeanor immediately melted. She stepped back as her pupils dilated. She attempted to speak, but the shield she wielded instantly disintegrated as any attempt to form coherent words resulted in a series of stammering.
Her mother simply stared.
“No. There will be no changes. Your punishment is decided. You will spend human life on Earth twenty two. You will have limited authority, and if you should attempt to exceed the limit, I’ve given the seclusion button to that earth's overseer to ground you for triple the amount of time. Finally, in order to prevent the mistreatment of the mortals you will be sent with, I have altered your core to one hundred percent compatibility for one human there. That is all. You will be forgiven following your return.” Her mother swiped her hand, turning around before disappearing. Following this, Avalanna began to fade.
“Mother! Please, Wai-” Her pleas were cut short as she disappeared. Leaving the void completely empty. Slowly, the color began to return. It seemed no trace of the two would remain…

As she sat with her arms crossed over her chest, Avalanna’s eyelids eventually parted from their former embrace. She quickly analyzed her surroundings and frowned. No void, no cosmic energy, no stars or spatial structures, just mortals and their steel-born landscape.
There were crowds of people walking through the city as its bus… hovered? Yes, hovered away without her, she never could remember the differences between each Earth. Regardless, cars sped through the streets and weaving between the buildings she assumed were the supply gatherings of this world.
A groan escaped her lips as she stood up, yet just as she stood her scrunched up face melted into a blank stare as she looked down at herself. She was in a human body. Seems her mother quite enjoyed herself this time if she went out of her way to create a human body capable of housing a God.
As quick as her mother came to mind, Avalanna quickly threw her out. Yet it seems a human’s inferior mind lacked absolute control as her mother and what she said kept replaying in her head. Not to mention her mother ruining Avalanna’s void realm. She fiercely blinked to regain some sort of control, yet somehow, she found herself blinking away tears instead.

No… Your punishment is decided…
Nothing about it was fair.
She repeated that in her head, all the while finally managing to halt the flood of her eyes. Being human was proving to be entirely the disgrace she thought it was so far.
Shivers.
She’d never adapt, she’d stay perfectly unstable, and perfectly unreasonable just as the Embodiment Of Chaos should be. Sure, that’s not what Chaos actually is or what it means but no one else knows that but her, why should it matter?
Following this thought, she suddenly felt a vibration in her left leg? She reached into her pocket and pulled out the object which caused the disturbance. Seemed to be a human communication device. It resembled a watch. Interesting.
She focused for a moment, manifesting a myriad of colors within her opposite hand. She also sensed a temporary seal being placed on her Chaos. She sneered inwardly, God’s could not limit other god’s. Nor would it last should the God refuse to allow it.
However, even though these were her thoughts. Avalanna obediently let the seal creep into her authority and silently placed it in the front of her mind with a blank expression.
Seems like the seal would restrict and warn her of certain things that exceed the limit, and should she exceed that limit Earth’s overseer would pay her a visit. Not that they scared her, they were simple corporate slaves in mortal terms. No, the overseer pressing the button to transport her to the seclusion realm is what terrified her. The ‘seclusion realm’ was merely an unclaimed piece of void.
However, once she’s sent there her mother would surely pay her… a visit. Her mother does not raise her voice, she will not abuse her superior might, merely rhythmically enlighten her.
She shuddered.
She threw that out of her mind. It seemed human’s really can’t seem to keep a thought process. What she needed to do now was manipulate reality to grant herself understanding of how to use the device. Yet, just as she was about to spin the energy in her palm for her objective, alarm bells rang at the front of her head and the energy faded. It seemed manipulating reality was too audacious in her current situation. She’d simply manipulate time to travel after she’s tested it…
After half a second her energy faded once again, so she subsequently scowled.
She’d work around it all then. She’d need to do this quickly before Earth’s overseer noticed something. A simple overseer can’t manipulate time let alone reality, however they can sense powerful laws doing just that.
Simply because a regular mortal can’t cause a supernova doesn’t mean they cannot feel it.
With this in mind, she then manipulated the pure Chaos in her hand to condense around her finger. After which, the young God swung that same finger just three inches across the air, ripping the fabric space time open. An immense pressure spread ten feet around her as the temperature vastly dropped.
Fortunately, no one was that close to her. She quickly held the tear with two Chaos condensed fingers and peaked in to observe all the timelines of her using the device and the knowledge of it before zipping it up.
Mission successful.
The device worked by speaking commands into it and opening a holographic interface she can manipulate for different purposes. She wrapped the watch-like device, which was called a ‘HoloCol’, around her wrist.
“HoloCol, open I-Face zero.” She spoke. After just a moment, a translucent interface opened in front of her. The zeroth interface was supposed to be a reflection service, akin to a camera. She observed it curiously, hopefully not all of her looked worse.
