Eternity

==Summary==
Eternity is the Abstract Embodiment of Time and the collective consciousness of all living beings. Alongside his "sister" Infinity, the Abstract Embodiment of Space, he is the living personification of the Multiverse itself, representing both Time and Space, and collectively All there Is. Alongside Infinity, Eternity has "spawned" various lesser Abstract Entities that represent essential concepts of their own, such as Empathy, Eulogy, Expediency, Entropy, Epiphany, Enmity, and Eon.
Though there exists one complete, greater Eternity for the whole of existence on every level, every universe contains its own sliver of Eternity, which reflects the entity's true, multiversal self, who, in its all-encompassing nature, abides in infinite solitude in the endless void.
