Chapter 3: Light and Darkness

Chapter 3: Light and Darkness

In the beginning there lay nothing, an empty sheet upon the drawing board of time, awaiting the stroke of the artist's brush to paint its destiny, and sculpt the life who follows it. It was not one who painted this fate though, for one only knows half its picture. It was two who created this realm, Light, giver of life, and darkness, giver of death. Though they differ in ideas, they both chose to forge unity with each other, binding themselves as one to create a masterpiece where both could live as one within two's . Together they forged the 5 suns, giving each five children planets to tend to. Light seeds of life within them to grow and flourish, and Darkness the seeds of death to take its life when time came for their flowers to wilt.

They created a home for themselves at the center of the 5 suns, Agathina, or unity in their tongue. They bound their realm to Ethera, the threads that tie all realms to each other, creating what is known as the eternal continuum. Slowly each of the children's planets grew, their life advancing to forge fins, feet, wings, and claws. Some chose the skies as their homes, others the grounds and seas. Some evolved to become more intelligent, riding up the ranks to sit atop the totem pole of life. They began to forage, learning to craft tools for hunting, and fire for cooking.

The realm of death soon became flooded with souls seeking new life within the children planet, as did the realm of life. Light and Darkness had achieved more from their dream than they had ever imagined possible, but the minds of tow can only tend to so many lives. They created ten guardians for each of the children's planets, gifting each planet and its life with a part of their spirit. Five were given to the realm of death, for the souls who passed, and five to the realm of life, for the souls reborn again. Each guardian guided their realm’s souls, teaching them to love, hate, laugh, and cry, but never to favor one over the other. Emotion may be strong over the mind, but it is only thought in the end, and a mind must learn to balance thought to maintain balance between light and darkness, as both we're as much a part of them as life and death. One planet in particular flowered brighter than the others, a planet known as Haros, the first of the five mother planets orbiting the five suns, and the only one who held the key to a backdoor of Ethera. It is here where the real journey begins, for this was just the prequel to a far greater series to come.
