“A long time ago, in the age which no man can remember, our world was inhabited by divine beings. It would be easier to call them gods, so we will do so, but please remember that these weren’t real gods. They were beings who came first out of the chaos after the creation of the universe. It was a time of complete freedom and enormous might. Powers of Creation and Destruction clashing in their endless battle, careful not to tip the weights, too much, for that would mean obliteration of both. The Great Balance was kept, but the turmoil caused by the battles of contradictory forces shook the new world to the very roots. Energies surging like huge rivers in the atmosphere, colliding with each other, splitting up or skimming each other’s surfaces creating sparks.

The world was changing, slowly gaining the characteristics that we know today. The biggest change that occurred was the creation of Space-time, but please don’t think that this happened suddenly. The creation was long in the making, as this was the finishing touch required for the completion of the world and at the same time the start point of the Era of the Gods.  Ahhhhh, the beautiful young dimension!

The world was filled with different kinds of animals and plants, but the only beings with intellect were gods. Many think that they were omnipotent, but sadly, they weren’t. The felt emotions, made mistakes, had fights and skirmishes with each other. Each god was unique and although they could shapeshift, a god could never take on the true form of another holy being. In theory gods could live forever, but often in reality most died in their first 100 years of existence in countless brawls due to their high self-esteem and inexperience. So the number of these powerful beings never reached 4-digit numbers.

Although the world was young and most of the inhabitants did what they wanted when they wanted, but even they obeyed when one of the Great Ones uttered an order. The 3 Great Ones were of the same race as all the other populace of world, but came out of the chaos first and so not only did they possess greater power than the others, but their wisdoms was unparalleled as well.

Predicting that they would one day argue if they stayed in the same place, they split the world into three.

“I will take the sky!”- proclaimed Varnak the Great Hawk. “None can match me in flight, so I shall make the azure blue my domain.” He said as he transformed into his true form and took to the sky.

“Then I will take the uncontrollable ocean and make it my domain, considering that none can match me there!” roared the voice of Kernuff the Giant Serpent, as he plunged into the salty sea water.

“Oh, well, brothers. Then I will take everything else and make it my domain!” chuckled Tvoznan the Mighty Wolf. He just stood there looking as both of his companions raced away into their own domains and wondered: “Why are they in such a hurry? We have an eternity in front of us.”

Time passed and everything was lay unchanged. The three Great Ones ruled in the sky, ocean and earth respectfully. Minor deity’s also made their own smaller domains becoming guardian spirits of forests, seas, desserts and mountains.  Some traveled from one place to another, not having their own domain, leading a nomad way of life. At this time, no new beings came out of the Chaos and the sempiternal battles that covered the world were no more. It was a time of peace and tranquility that lasted eons.

But like they say “There is always a calm before a storm”, the storm was yet to come…
