Literally Batman
World's Greatest Detective
Long ago, on the place where Earth is now, there was nothing. Nothing. It was an empty void, swirling with nothingness. From that nothingness sprouted the Forces of the Universe, an omnipresent being that controlled everything. From these Forces came the first ever Partners-Life and Death. Life was a jubilant thing, a happy being who brought goodness to wherever she went. Death was the opposite- sulking, moody, with a short fuse. Still, the two loved each other, for one completed the other. They promised that until the end of everything, they would be with each other forever.
Soon, things changed. Life, while still loving Death with all her heart, found that her life was missing something. She created galaxies, stars, planets, and yet their beauty still did not satisfy her. She thought and thought, and then thought of something. She created humans, creatures to resemble her and Death. Not only were these humans just like them, they would also find their Partner- somebody created to be with them forever. Life found her new creations, the human race, to be fascinating- their flaws and strengths were so intruiguing. Death was fine with the humans, but secretly grew envious of Life's new attraction to these people.
Years upon years went by, humanity growing and spiraling with new innovations. A group of people formerly confined to small groups on the ground, to hunt with sticks and rocks, were now soaring through the sky in planes, staring down at the people in skyscrapers. Life could not resist her attraction to these people. Eventually, she spoke to Death and told him she wished that she could be with one of the humans. She would return to Death eventually, of course, but she wanted to really be with her creations. Years of suppressed jealousy and rage were released in this moment. Death accused Life of betraying their promise, on turning her back on him. Life stated that Death was being paranoid, and that their love still remained. She then turned to leave immediately.
Death's next move would change the universe forever. Blinded by fury, he raised his scythe and then brought the curved blade down into Life's back. Blood rained everywhere. When Death's eyes were finally re-opened and his temper cooled, he found Life, his one true love, dead.
Death was crushed by grief. Even the Harbringer of Demise could not bring Life back alone. The only thing he had ever truly cared about was taken by his hands. And as he thought, his mind darkened. It may have been his blade that sent Life's spirit to the Netherworld, but it was humanity that had torn his love away from him. He promised himself that Humanity would pay for Life's doom. He worked his magic on the humans, and chaos began to occur. Riots began to occur in even the most peaceful cities. Diseases that were thought dead emerged from the shadows. Skirmishes and fights began to occur. The world slowly began to fall apart. On top of that, Death, in order to simulate humanity tearing away Life from him, began to tear apart the human Partners. Any Partners that were together were split by Death, and he attempted to turn away any future pairings.
While the world seemed doomed, Life was not gone. Her spirit, in the Netherworld, would not take this. Death had gone too far. Yet her magic was severly limited without her physical body. Trapped there, she was able to do one thing with her limited powers- if two Partners were to ever meet, against all odds, they would each be given a piece of power- not the level of Life or Death, but still a piece of power. They would be opposite, like Life and Death, but complementary. There, they would be able to fight back against Death's anti-human ideals and bring back Life.
