A long time ago- before time was even really thought up by anyone- there was only DreamXD. And for a long time, XD was alone– he wasn’t sure how long exactly, but it must have been somewhere between one century and two millenia. He was not lonely, for he had never not been alone, and he occupied himself by creating something- a star or planet or animal of some kind- and then, if it was alive, destroying it. He would leave the stars and gasses and planets and things scattered about, because they were pretty, but he was a god of Balance above all else, and he could not have living things just- running about forever. They weren’t meant to do that. So he would create a pig or cow (or perhaps something you and I have never heard of before and never will) and he would let it run about for a bit- perhaps one year, perhaps one decade, and then he would destroy it, and it would be no more.
Eventually- perhaps after centuries, or perhaps millenia- he created two living things. This was a first for him, and DreamXD was not quite sure how to deal with it. One was tall and sort of box-shaped- she had pale skin, and her head, much like his, was an orb- although hers seemed to be a moon in its fullest form. They wore white mourning attire. The other was shorter, and rounder, with soft brown skin and green clothes. Her head seemed to be a moon hidden by the shadow of its star. There were no stars near enough for all that, as XD lived in the heart of a black hole back then. It was the first thing he’d ever made.
Lady Death moved first, graceful as can be, and she moved to press a knife against XD’s throat. With their free hand they shoved their black hair behind their ear from where it had fallen in their face. She growled, a wordless, terrifying thing, and he knew she was demanding he make a world where her sister could create to her hearts’ content.
“What do you mean,” he asked, “hearts’”? Surely you mean ‘heart’s’? Your sister should not have more than one heart- I’ve only ever created one thing with two hearts, and you are not him.”
Lady Life spoke from behind her sister, her bright smile glowing like a star. “We are of one heart, I and my sister. My heart is theirs, and their heart is mine. Between us, there are two but without my heart hers cannot beat, and without her heart, mine will be still.”
DreamXD thought about that, for maybe hours or maybe years, and then decided they had come to replace him as the gods of Balance. Their identities as Ladies Life and Death clearly meant things were meant to live and die, much like how his identity as the Creator meant things would be created. He couldn’t deprive them of that! And so, he created for them a planet, with green trees and blue rivers, and gave it to them.
Over time, Lady Life’s creations began to pray for surplus, and from those prayers came Lady Primes, a god of self-serving interests and bountiful labor. And in this manner many others, too, were made: Foolish_Gamers, from their desire for safe passage to Lady Death when their time came; Philza Minecraft, from their well-wishes to friends far away; Herobrine, from their fear of senseless destruction; and many others. And so, knowing that Balance was in the care of someone new now, DreamXD set about creating something he had never tried before to create. He could now see cows and goats and pigs whenever he pleased, and so he had decided to create a force to Balance opposite himself: a sister, like Lady Life and Lady Death.
