There was Darkness.
Then everything got muddy. Evolution. Religion. But basically, as far as cosmic timelines, in an exceptionally quick amount of time the Earth went from being a ball of rock to being able to sustain different types of life. From the first single-cell organisms to dinosaurs to humanity.
Humanity eventually ate the apple, which is just a metaphor for evolving into telling the difference between being a decent human being and being an asshole. Doubtfully there was a demon disguised as a snake telling a fully developed Homo-Sapiens to eat an apple. If demons, Satan, and God exist, they kept far away from humanity since the beginning.
For humanity did not just evolve into the normal beings that make up the vast majority of the world’s population. In the stories of the ancestors that had been passed down, they said some humans were personally touched by God’s divine grace.
That grace gave birth to the heroes and the villains.
In reality, it was a chromosomal anomaly.
But one many exploited.
Chaos reigned.
And it was glorious.
For life without chaos is like a superhero without a cause.
There used to be a time where superheroes reigned over and protected the lands.
They reigned in the chaos.
They brought order.
They were loved.
For millennia.
Until the villains became corporate.
The Queen of Evil brought them together.
Brought order to chaos.
Tricked the world.
Used fear, and the fact world was evolving into industrial and corporate societies, to take power from the shadows.
For hundreds, thousands even, of years it was the typical bad guy who blows something up, steals something, does something super villain-y, and the hero would come in and save the day. Very basic. Exceptionally ordinary. Citizens worshipped the heroes and hated the villains. The superheroes, however, knew the chaos the villains caused gave them a cause and a reason to exist.
One villain loathed it. She hated the whole… flamboyance… of her… evilness.
Etain.
Also known as Arc. That one day would be considered Doctor Arc, some hero trying to make her sound eviler. But it had a ring in the world where doctors were considered above the normal people.
And with that, she vowed to change the way the world works.
She was tired of the hero always winning.
She was tired of the hero lording over her.
Her arch-nemesis, who had the stupid ass name of Earth Phoenix.
It was not her actual name.
Back then they protected their actual name. It would change around the 1700’s, after the which trails, but still, with the crusades and the witch trails, many never revealed they had powers. Since not all villains and heroes were immortal, many just slowly aging, or even aging normal, they chose to hide. But some… some became thorns in her side. Like her arch-nemesis.
But since Phoenix was her number one enemy, she knew her actual name.
Catriona.
But she never gave it up to another villain or hero. Even Earth Pheonix did not know she knew her actual name.
After all, Catriona, was hers.
She called dibs.
Then she got the villains to go corporate.
And Catriona disappeared.
But Etain kept tabs on her.
Dibs was dibs, after all.
She just never figured out she would be a villain that would need a hero.
And she for sure knew that Catriona never figured she would have the Queen of Evil asking her to save the world.
The question was, would the hero answer the villain’s cry for help?
Or would this Queen Villain have to save the world on her own?
That is where the story may begin or end.
But before there was a cry for help, there was only…
THE QUEEN.
