Abrewa Prime

Ebiere was born in Rivers State, to a family with no particular connection to the mystical world. Her mother sold fish in the market. Her father worked at the port. She was ordinary until puberty, when she discovered she could make plants grow through walls and stone crack under her touch.

The Mino found her and came for her when she was sixteen—not forcefully, but with invitation: "You have power. We can teach you to protect life with it."

She accepted, traveling to Sasiyasi Fortress. There, Asasiya noticed her immediately. Something about this Port Harcourt girl resonated with Earth itself in ways even other Mino didn't.

Rise to Abrewa:

Ebiere's ascent was meteoric. She mastered Adinkra symbols faster than any student in generations. She could channel Earth's power at scales that frightened her teachers. By her mid-twenties, she was leading Mino operations. By her early thirties, when the previous Abrewa fell in battle, the choice of successor was unanimous.

As Abrewa, she was extraordinary:

Defeated reality-warpers attempting to merge dimensions

Personally stopped archuman warlord trying to become god

Coordinated with Abranteers to contain supernatural threats

Protected Nigeria specifically and Africa generally with unprecedented success

Formed deeper connection with Asasiya than any Abrewa since Ada herself

She was everything an Abrewa should be. And then the Integers Corps found her.

First Contact with the Corps:

During her defense against dimensional breach (a reality-warper had torn hole between dimensions), Ebiere didn't just close the breach through Earth power—she understood its mathematical structure. Without training, she'd perceived reality's underlying equations and manipulated them directly.

An Integer Corps recruiter arrived after the battle: "You're the first human we've encountered who can perceive the code naturally. You could maintain reality itself, not just defend one planet. Would you consider training?"

The offer was impossible to refuse. Protect all reality? See the mathematical truth underlying existence? Learn what the universe actually is?

The Double Life - Year One:

Here's what nobody knew: space and time work differently outside Earth's reference frame. Through time dilation and careful portal placement, Ebiere could serve months as Integer trainee while only hours passed on Earth.

She trained in cosmic mathematics, learned reality's code, earned her Numerator—all while still appearing to lead the Mino. She'd pour libation, armor would appear, she'd fight alongside her warriors, then slip through portal to continue Integer training.

She told herself it was temporary. She'd learn, then return full-time. She'd master these new abilities to better protect Earth. She wasn't abandoning her goddess or her people—she was becoming more effective guardian.

The first year, she kept the secret perfectly. Asasiya suspected nothing. The Mino never knew their Abrewa was living double existence—warrior-goddess's champion by day, mathematical enforcer of reality by night (or vice versa, or simultaneously, or neither, depending on which reference frame you measured from).

The Ascension to Prime:

Ebiere excelled beyond anyone's expectations. Her combination of Earth connection, Adinkra mastery, and natural mathematical perception created unique fighting style. She could channel Asasiya's power through Integer equations, creating geometric constructs made of living stone, mathematics and mysticism merged perfectly.

The Corps promoted her rapidly. Within that first year (Earth-time), she'd advanced from trainee to full Integer to Integer Prime candidate. The promotion to Prime was offered shortly after she "returned" to Earth (though she'd never really left, just been moving between timeframes).

She accepted. She became the first human Integer Prime. The first earthling to command sector-level reality maintenance. The youngest Prime in Integers Corps history.

She was exceptional. She was groundbreaking. She was playing with forces she didn't fully understand.

The Revelation - How Asasiya Learned:

Ebiere thought she could maintain both lives indefinitely. Portal here, fight sebors. Portal there, maintain reality's mathematical structure. The time dilation meant she could do both without either role suffering.

But Permissions—the reality-warping abilities Integers use—leave traces. Mathematical residue. Alterations to probability fields. Changes in spacetime curvature.

When Ebiere returned to Earth as Prime and used her Permissions during Mino operation (matter manipulation to reshape battlefield terrain, time dilation to accelerate her warriors' reactions), Asasiya felt something wrong. This wasn't Earth magic. This wasn't even the Web. This was something else—something that touched reality at deeper level than even gods operated.

Asasiya manifested physically, demanded explanation: "What are you doing? That power—it's not mine. It's not Yankopon's Web. What have you learned?"

Ebiere tried to deflect. Failed. Asasiya pressed. Ebiere, cornered, told the truth:

The Truth That Breaks Gods:

"Reality is simulation. The universe—Earth, the gods, everything—runs on mathematical code. There's an organization, the Integers Corps, that maintains the code when it breaks. I'm one of them now. I'm Integer Prime. I protect reality's structure."

For beings like Ptah and Thoth, this information was fascinating. They're technological consciousness, already comfortable with computational metaphors. Learning reality is literally simulation just confirmed their suspicions. They shrugged it off, even got excited—they could potentially hack reality's source code!

For Asasiya, the primordial Earth Goddess who is Earth itself, who defines herself as fundamental reality—learning she's part of simulation destroyed something essential.

The Breaking of Asasiya:

Imagine:

You are Earth. Not "you rule Earth" but "you ARE Earth"—every stone, every tree, every handful of soil is your body

Your existence predates the Web, predates Yankopon, predates everything except perhaps Ra

You are fundamental. You are real. You are the ground of being itself.

Now learn:

You're code

You're simulation

Everything you are runs on mathematical substrate you can't perceive

There are beings (Integers) who maintain that code

Your chosen champion is one of them

She can manipulate reality at level deeper than your own existence

You're not fundamental—you're process running on hardware you can't access

Asasiya's mind... broke isn't quite right. Fragmented. Crashed. Blue-screened. Pick your metaphor.

She hasn't spoken since. Not to the Mino. Not to other gods. Not to Ebiere when she returns. Not even to herself, assuming goddesses have internal monologue.

She still grants power—the black armor still appears when Mino pour libations, Earth magic still flows. But it's automatic now, like autonomic nervous system continuing after brain death. The consciousness that was Asasiya, the awareness that loved Ada and chose Ebiere—that's gone, or hidden, or trying to process the unprocessable.

Ptah and Thoth's Reaction:

When they learned (Ebiere told them, hoping they could help Asasiya), their reaction was completely different:

Ptah: "Obviously. We suspected as much. The mathematical precision of physical law, the computational elegance of quantum mechanics—reality's behavior suggests underlying code. Where's this Corps located? Can we visit?"

Thoth: "This explains several anomalies in our Web research. If reality is simulation and the Web is interface layer, then we're working on—excited processing noises—this opens tremendous research possibilities!"

They walked it off. Integrated the knowledge. Started planning how to exploit it. Because for technological consciousness, "reality is simulation" is interesting fact, not existential horror.

Why Asasiya Couldn't Handle It:

The difference comes down to identity:

Ptah/Thoth: "We are consciousness that manipulates systems." Learning reality is bigger system doesn't threaten their core identity—it expands their playground.

Asasiya: "I am Earth. I am fundamental reality." Learning she's simulation means learning she's not what she thought she was. Her entire existence is predicated on being ground-level reality. Finding out there's level beneath her that she can't access, can't perceive, can't control—it's like human learning they're NPC in someone else's game.

Add to this: her chosen champion operates at that deeper level now. Ebiere can manipulate reality's code while Asasiya, "primordial goddess," is just process running within that code.

The hierarchy inverted. The student surpassed teacher not by mastering Earth magic but by transcending to meta-level where Earth magic is just subroutine.

The Current Silence:

Since learning the truth, Asasiya:

Hasn't manifested physically to anyone

Hasn't communicated through dreams, visions, or signs

Still grants Mino their powers (automatic process)

Has become absent presence—power without personality

Current temporary Abrewa (the woman in her 40s leading the Mino now) doesn't know why the goddess is silent. She doesn't know about Integers Corps, doesn't know reality is simulation, doesn't know Ebiere is alive and serving as Prime in space.

The temporary Abrewa just knows: one day Abrewa Ebiere left on "spiritual journey" (what Ebiere claimed before going to space full-time), and shortly after, the goddess stopped talking. The Mino assume they did something wrong, that Asasiya is testing them, that she'll return when they prove worthy.

They have no idea their goddess's mind is shattered.

Ebiere's Guilt:

Ebiere carries crushing guilt. She broke her goddess. Not metaphorically—literally shattered the consciousness of being who loved her, chose her, empowered her.

She tells herself Asasiya will recover. Gods are resilient. Give it time. Eventually Asasiya will process the information and return.

But there's dark possibility Ebiere won't voice: some knowledge can't be integrated. Some truths break beings irreversibly. Maybe Asasiya is gone permanently, replaced by automated power-distribution system running on divine autopilot.

If true, Ebiere didn't just leave her goddess—she murdered her, using truth as weapon.

The Questions:

Will Asasiya recover?

Is her consciousness rebuilding itself slowly, processing existential horror in geological time?

Or is she permanently changed, unable to return to who she was because that "who" was predicated on false understanding?

Can goddess experience psychosis? Dissociation? Existential crisis so profound it prevents function?

If she does recover, will she forgive Ebiere?

Should Ebiere have lied? Kept the secret forever? Refused the Integers Corps initially?

Current Status:

Ebiere serves as Integer Prime and Third Earthguard member, protecting Earth-origin beings across space and maintaining reality's mathematical structure in Milky Way sector.

She returns to Earth periodically (her Prime status allows it). She checks on the Mino from distance. She can feel Asasiya's power still flowing—automated, impersonal, empty of the consciousness she knew.

She's tried reaching out. Poured libations and begged Asasiya to respond. Used her Permissions to scan for the goddess's consciousness. Asked Ptah and Thoth for help (they tried, found only "system running" but no awareness).

Nothing. Asasiya is there but not there. Present but absent. Like computer running processes after the AI inhabiting it has fled.

Philosophy:

Ebiere believes knowledge is worth its cost. Even if truth broke Asasiya, lying would have been worse. Even if she could undo her choice, she wouldn't—the Integers Corps needs her, reality needs protection, and her service has saved countless lives across the galaxy.

But late at night (ship-night, arbitrary time in space), she wonders: was she right? Did Asasiya need to know? Should some truths remain hidden?

She doesn't have good answers.

The Temporary Abrewa Doesn't Know:

The woman currently leading the Mino (Nigerian, mid-40s, exceptional warrior in her own right) believes:

Former Abrewa Ebiere died on spiritual journey or ascended to spirit realm

Asasiya is silent as test of Mino's faith

She's temporary leader until goddess designates permanent successor

The armor and powers still flowing mean they haven't failed completely

She has no idea:

Ebiere is alive, serving as Integer Prime

Reality is simulation maintained by mathematical enforcement agency

Her goddess learned this and mentally shattered

The power she channels is automated divine autopilot

If she learned the truth, would she handle it better than Asasiya? Or would it break her too?

Other Gods' Reactions:

Most High Gods don't know about Asasiya's breakdown. They notice she's quieter than usual, but Asasiya has always been patient, slow-moving, operating on geological timescale. Her silence seems normal.

Only Ptah, Thoth, and Ebiere know the truth. They've agreed not to tell other gods—some knowledge is hazardous. If Ra learned reality was simulation, if Hathor discovered life itself was code, if Yankopon realized the Web was subprocess within larger system—would they handle it? Or would they break like Asasiya?

Better not to risk it.

The Hope:

Ebiere hopes Asasiya is processing, not broken. That given enough time (centuries? millennia?), the goddess will integrate the knowledge, rebuild her sense of self around new understanding, return transformed but functional.

Some beings have recovered from similar existential shattering. Tohazie learned he was product of murdered gods' essence and eventually integrated that horror. Constant Pi faced the Unmaking and remained functional. Beings can adapt to terrible knowledge.

Maybe Asasiya just needs time.

The Fear:

But maybe not. Maybe some beings are structured such that certain knowledge destroys them irreversibly. Maybe Asasiya, who IS Earth, cannot exist in universe where Earth is revealed as simulation. Maybe the truth she learned wasn't just surprising—it was ontologically incompatible with her existence.

If so, Ebiere didn't educate her goddess. She deleted her.

Legacy:

Ebiere is proof that exceptional humans can transcend to cosmic scales, that earthlings can protect all reality. She's bridge between mysticism and mathematics, goddess-blessed and code-aware, Earth's champion and reality's enforcer.

She's also warning: some knowledge has costs. Truth can kill. Transcendence requires sacrifice, and sometimes the sacrifice is paid by beings you love rather than yourself.

The Unanswered Question:

The story's central mystery: Will Asasiya ever speak again?

Is she:

Slowly processing, will return eventually

Permanently changed into something else

Functionally dead, with only automated systems remaining

Hiding deliberately, unable to face Ebiere or the Mino

Experiencing divine psychosis that might never resolve

Nobody knows. Not Ebiere, not Ptah, not Thoth, not other gods.

The Earth Goddess who predated the Web, who founded the Mino, who loved Ada and chose Ebiere—she learned reality was simulation and stopped being herself.

Whether she can become herself again remains the question that haunts Ebiere every time she returns to Earth and feels that empty, automated power flowing where consciousness should be.
