Enkodo was one of the few that was born into Eden. She always believed the place was its own being so she always thanked it for small things. The tribe she lived in believed the same but they all knew it didn't exist for them, it existed only for one person, the god.
The god was the prophecy that everyone knew of. Everyone knew because the land itself told the tribe about it, it only existed for the god and this was the purpose it was given by them. To serve as the resting place for restless souls. Another chance at life. A rebirth.
There came a time where she had to learn the truth. Enkodo had to inherit the knowledge that the land held in order to serve ██████████ She soon became one with Eden but she never lost her true self.
She was under the guidance of her grandmother, the previous possessor of the knowledge. It was Enkodo's responsibility to care for the god and others he cared about. Although she wished to do other things, maybe she could learn to do both.
She had to travel to a village in the middle of Eden. It turned out she ran into the ██████████ on the way there.
The ██████████ looked ambiguous in every way. Neither male or female and neither animal nor human. They passed out under the rain tree covered in dried blood. Enkodo could only guess it was self inflicted in a mindless frenzy by the placement of the injuries. She only knew it was ██████████ because of the resemblance to flowers. She got out her bag and woke them up.
Turns out the god was still in a daze and let them take a drink out of her water while she worked on the injuries. That was Enkodo's first encounter with the god.
The ██████████ was a "he" and he couldn't remember his own name. Which wasn't expected of him. She learned that he wasn't the most stable ██████████. She also learned that she couldn't treat him as a god if he needed help as a person, so she treated him as an equal.
Over time they bonded. With Enkodo taking care of the god. They eventually settled on a name for him which was...
She took care of him and everyone he cared about, including herself.
Until he went missing and everything about herself was lost.
