Chapter 1 – Questions in the Dark

 

In the beginning, there was nothing. Only a vast colorless, emptiness. Then suddenly, a consciousness began to manifest. This consciousness was an infinite, and all omnipotent being.

 

The consciousness did something that had never been done before. He formed the first thought. His first thought consisted of a very simple question, “what?” This thought then began to grow into an idea, and from that idea sprang a plan. A plan to create a universe in which he could live with others. Others, maybe like him, or others not like him. He desired anything but the emptiness of the void he currently reside in.

 

Millions of years pass as the creator lay in the void thinking. Suddenly, from his thought formed an object. A simple object, but an object formed from mere thought. The object was something that resembled a sphere. The sphere was not alive, did not move, and could not interact with him. This did not bother the consciousness. He did not care if the sphere was a simple creation. He was exhilarated that there was now something in this void. It was at this point that the consciousness became “The Creator”.

 

As time passed on, the consciousness began to form other simple objects. He created more spheres, and other variations of that sphere. As he concentrated harder, one of his spheres began to erupt in a bright light. This did not frighten the creator, as fear was not yet an aspect of the universe. He was intrigued by this discovery. The empty void that he loomed in for so long, now had light, and from that light, came shadow. And from that shadow something began to form.

 

The shadow formed a physical being of darkness. It had no name, and no words, but the creator could sense that this being was conscious, like him. The creator, felt the first feeling of excitement in the universe. He tried to interact with this new physical being, but he was not sure how to perform such an act. The creator then thought hard about the form of this being now took. In his concentration, he created himself a physical body like the creature. 

 

Now that the creator had a physical body, he was able to speak with the being. He asked what it called itself. The being did not respond. The Creator asked the being if it has existed as long as he has. Still no response. The being only stared at the creator with its horrible glowing eyes. 

 

The creator then tried to show the being how he creates objects. He formed a pyramid in his hand and held it out to the being. The being hesitated for a moment, and then took the pyramid from the creator and held it out in front of himself. The being then clenched his horrible, clawed hand into a fist and destroyed the pyramid. The creator was in shock at this act. As he did not understand what destruction was or why anyone would destroy anything.

 

The being let out a loud, horrific cry of pure terror. As if all the horrible sounds of the universe were wrapped into one single shout. It then began to jump from object to object that the creator spent so many years creating, destroying them one by one. The creator had never fathomed the idea of destruction. 

 

It was at this moment that the creator felt a new feeling that had not existed yet, rage. And in the creators rage he manifested a new being. A colossal titan. The Titan saw the destruction the evil being was causing and the anguish it was causing his creator. The Titan then lunged toward the being and grabbed him by the throat. The being clawed at the Titan forcing him to loosen his grip. A battle ensued between both beings. The creator sat and watched as the battle resulted in devastating explosions and destruction.

 

Seeing that the Titan was not helping protect his precious creations, the creator then manifested himself into a size that words cannot explain. He grabbed hold of the evil being and expelled him from his universe to remain for all time. He named this other universe Hell. 

 

The creator then returned to the Titan and ordered him to protect his creation. If the creature, now known as the “Cosmic Demon” where to return, the Titan would spend eternity to destroy it and send it back to Hell. The being looked to the creator, and fled off to the blackness of the void becoming “The Eternal Titan”.
