The Princess And The Demon

First: The second generation Gods, all twenty of them, shared half the creation energy while the other half was devided between the four first generation Gods

Second: The first generation Gods were the only ones able to create life, or more accurately, use the creation energy to create life, the second generation Gods were only able to use life essence and elements, like absorb life, reshape it or transport it from a being to another, but never creating it out of nothingness, they had full control of the four elements, Fire, Water, Soil and Air while the first generation Gods had control over nature itself as well as the creation energy's exclusive and pure element, Light.

Third: The Second generation Gods were chosen by the first generation ones among all those who had the purest characteristics required for containing the creation energy, No one but the first generation Gods knew why those particular individuals were chosen while the rest were killed, eliminating every possible competition.

Fourth: The Gods were cunts

These were Eren's conclusions when he was viewing Estonilla's memories, he tried to busy himself with reading them in hopes in finding something useful information to defeat the Gods in order to forget the excruciating pain he was feeling but it was of no use, It felt as if every cell in his body was exploding, his body was burning with heat coming from his very core and melting everything in it way out, he fell off the bed away from the dead Goddess's body, holding his neck as his throat and lungs were caught on fire, his eyes were burning, his hands scratched his flesh without his control, wanting to simply peel off his aching skin, blood was pooring out of his ears and nose and open scratch, and soon started dripping from his pores, he shook violently on the ground, every muscle in his body was clenches he felt them being ripped off his melting bones, Eren knew what was happening to him, his body and soul weren't pure enough to contain the creation energy which was trying to fight it way out to poor back into the shrine and then the remaining Gods, No way, Eren thought to himself, he didn't swallow his own vomit and pleased the crazy hag with his fingers which he wished to replace at the moment just for him to let the fruit of his hard work simply slip off, taking his life with it...

The pain didn't stop but increased, Eren fought hard to hold in his screams not wanting to invite any depth predators in, but it was too unbearable he let out a loud growl of pain, he whimpered in darkness while the memories of the Goddess kept on showcasing...

Fifth: The creation energy was a force of life, as it peer the dark energy was a force of death, and in between there was the natural path that every creature had to walk, there was a balance maintained between the two without them blending in each other, life kept on feeding death, and death kept on giving a meaning to life, each with their particularities while still being the missing puzzle piece for each other.

Sixth: The Dark energy, as it was a force of death, could not control the elements of life but rather elements that were close to it essence, elements that resembled death and caused it, darkness, shadows, cold, ice, and fire, same as it was natural and necessary for life, Fire could also be destructive and deadly, it was the joint where the two energies met..

Seventh: Again, the Gods were cunts!

Eren felt it, how life was leaving his body and the darkness that was once a part of him was consuming him as a part of it instead, the two energies inside him were tearing him from the inside, the pain only kept on increasing, and suddenly he felt the weight of the entire sea above his body, it felt like an ante being stepped on by an elephant, and the elephant only kept on growing heavier, he couldn't move, nor scream anymore, he could only suffer silently, a part of him wished he died sooner before experiencing such pain, he wished he ripped his heart off when he could, he wondered what would things be after death, what would he become? what mistakes will he make in the after life if there was one, and was there a chance to fix the mistakes of this one, Oh he had many, he didn't regret most but he surely did deeply about the latest, more specifically since he met a particular girl...

The other part of him however, a bigger braver part, kept on summoning images of the particular girl's face, with the brightest smile and the kindest most innocent eyes, a certain memory in a ball made him smile bitterly, the beautiful girl in his arms looked up at him while dancing like the clumsy little mouse she was, some strands of her hair falling on the sides of her face, their silver color complementing her pale skin, making her pure rainy eyes and pink lips pop even more, he was angry at himself even before that, the moment he saw her in that dress, looking like the Goddess she was he almost lost it, he didn't know what was wrong with him he only knew he didn't want any other man near her, and while dancing she simply and innocently told him those words that nearly had his heart stop, her hopeful eyes looked at him waiting for him to tell her he loved her too but he couldn't, he could say it easily if it was a lie but he wasn't sure, no actually he was sure it wasn't a lie and that scared him, to love your prey, and throw all your life and plans behind you just to tell those words...

Eren's eyes shot wild open, the pain never stopped but he was done with it, he knew if he gave up than it is not only his death who would be added to the list but Sara's as well, she was in the shack, unprotected and broken and he needed to deal with things in here just to go back to her, and tell her what he couldn't say back then...

Eren focused on the pain, pain was one of the joints between life and death, that is what he needed, he thought, joints, between the two energies inside him, he pulled more shadows toward him in order to balance the energies and allow them to joint, all the shadows in that cave and around it were not enough and he had to pull all the shadows of the sea, the pure darkness greedily rushed toward the shadows lord like iron fragments do to magnet, It wasn't easy for him but he struggled to keep the shadows in, pulling them closer to his core, he felt the usual taste of shadows, something only a shadow demon like him could taste, the pain started to reduce, his body instead grew bigger, stronger, a burning sensation on his back where huge wings emerged, he smirked once the transformation was complete, at least now he knows how to leave this place, with his knew power and the knew knowledge he possessed, oh and...

Eighth: The Gods were real cunts!
