Little Star

She Is Unheard

I am deaf. Now that's a good way to start off a story. Not the usual "Once upon a time" crap you hear every day. I probably should have said who I was rather then what's the matter with me.

I'm Daleia. Or at least thats the only name I remember being given in my past life. The last name is irrelevant anyways. What's that? 'Past life'? Oh yes! I should have also mentioned that I'm dead. Well, was dead, but technically since I'm a spirit, I'll consider myself 'half' alive. Now that I'm a spirit, I have a special job. Nothing fancy, really. I just make stars. That's about it. Simple task, isn't it? Clap my hands together and BAM, its a fucking universe. Oh you wish. It takes a lot more than that obviously...

I'm riled up again. Forgive my use of cuss words. Very impolite.

It's not so bad being dead and all. I mean, my job is actually the only reason my 'soul' isn't dead, you know? The faces on people everywhere amaze me when they see what I've done. Millions of eyes looking into a used to be black void now filled with wonder and beauty. You may be wondering if there were others before me. Well, you're correct Mr. Know-it-all. There's a whole line of star makers that came before me, stretching back all the way to the Roman and Greek times! Not gonna lie, that's pretty freakin' cool. Those star makers at the time were the ones who assisted the gods in making those famous constilations. Remember Scorpio? That giant ass scorpion that Hercules beat the shit out of? Yep, a star maker put him there.

Just so you know, don't go around everywhere saying "star-maker" this and "star-maker" that.  Call us Vessels. A Vessel in this instance is someone who creates something that belongs in the universe, either it be the clouds or the people of this world. Don't even get me started on Mother Vessels.  That'll open up a can of worms that can never fully be explained.

The ones who assign us Vessels to do our jobs are called the Seij. The word itself? I have no idea who the hell thought of that one. Pretty odd, but it has a ring to it. The Seij observe spirits of the dead, those who haven't been assigned to either heaven or hell. Its like a weird branch off of purgatory. However, not everyone becomes one. The Seij carefully choose a few of these souls to go back into the living world and serve as Vessels. For. Eternity.

Obviously Satan isn't happy with this. God? He's pretty chill with it. Satan thinks its unfair, because that asshole wants all of the souls of the dead for himself. So now there's this big war between the Seij and Satan. And Satan thinks its pretty funny if he takes Earth's Vessels and corrupts them, filling them with depression and horrifying images to basically liquidate them of their sanity.

Turns out that I, a newbie at the whole 'Vessel' thing,  got into a little twist and now I have to save the whole world from being burned to the ground. Satan, being angry at basically anytime of the year, decides that its the time of the month to screw around with things. He plans to burn all of Earths people, and forcefully take their souls back down to the underworld that way Heaven and the Seij can crumble into a pile of uneaten granola. Nice one, Satan. You're the real MVP.

But before we get to that, why don't we start at the beginning. Lets just say drugs and birthday cake don't mix.
