MJ#2 Life or Life? That is the question...

 The Jeweled, my mythic creation and not-creation, the slippery demon within (like the one living inside Soul Eater), flits through every story but never lingers.  Truly, she belongs nowhere. In the nowhere land of universe, she reigns on high over none because there are none to rule.  Perhaps this only proves her independence, but more likely this proves her loneliness.  The impenetrable Jewel, harder than diamond, too hard.  She must always succeed, always conquer, never fail.... The exhausting, mediocrity of battling Balance, one foot in the light and one in the dark in the soupy realm of atmosphere.  Not that she could feel it anyway.  If she could...oh.  What a dastardly idea.  Who could survive that much power and a soul?  Would they all be "saved?" (Torchwood: Miracle Day).  Or would they all be "saved?"  (The Afterlife).  She will gain a soul eventually but, when that terrible day spins into position, the choice is hers.  Life or life?  Personally, I'd take neither.
