[ WP ] Decades ago a mighty wizard gave life and sentience to a doll . Now , the wizard has finally died of old age and the doll is wondering : `` Why ca n't I fix him ? He appears unharmed so why ca n't I repair him ? ''

She was not the only one to suspect the truth. Gods had come after humans, and though they were neigh omnipotent, they were not ones that create life and death. She was one such who rebelled, helping to direct souls to the land beyond the horizon, rather than the underworld, the domain of the gods. 
 
 Hades and Persephone, the gods directly affected by this upstart witches' impertinence, petitioned the other gods in punishing this upstart. As she had not technically violated divine law, they were not allowed to kill her. However, they could make her live a lonely life- around her was cast an invisible nest of thorns; any suitor that she grew to love would wither and die away, and any women around her would grow jealous of her beauty and ostracize her. 
 
 Unperturbed, she set about building a lifelong companion. Gods lacked the capacity to create souls, instead needing to power their works with the prayers of worshippers and those souls they had claimed as this own. Humans and creatures below heaven could create souls, but only through their offspring. She wanted to create something altogether new, to infuse a golem with a true soul, creating an individual identity, one that could be her partner, her equal rather than a servant to her...
