The universe was dark, cold and empty. It wasn't even an „universe" to begin with. But as suddenly as the storm comes, the breath of creation gave way to the miracles and wonders of existence. And from this breath the Aspects were created. The first Aspect had no name, but it knew it's purpose. It was to mark every moment of this new universe. And from its memory, it created past, from its understanding it created present and from its hopes it created future. And it gave itself the name Time.
As the seconds passed the still empty universe started to breathe. Another Aspect has been born and it created the energy and magical particles. The name of this Aspect? Power.
As the power began to overflow, it coalesce and it started to birth another Aspect. It stretched and distorted the foundation of the universe and began to expand. And so, Space was born.
Those three aspects pondered and realized that they were not satisfied with this universe. Lifeless rocks were not enough. And so, from their dreams, two new Aspects emerged. One was bright, and where it went, it created light. So was its purpose and name. But wherever Light went, Shadow was sure to follow. For every light, there was always a shadow. And so, the now five Aspects started to create the first stars and planets. They were full of nothing, but light, magical particles and the impending time. They were not good.
As the Aspects descended on the world, they gathered a bunch of dirt and created soil. They then created a seed and planted it. It grew into a tree, and so Life was born. Sixth Aspect started to fill the planets with vegetation, but it was still not enough. It wanted to create the perfect life. And so it gathered all Aspects and together they created first being. No one knows what it was, what form did it take, or if it still lives, but we know it had a mind of its own. And so another Aspect came to be: Mind. Now, those seven Aspects filled the expanding and still newborn universe with planets and beings. But they never created the perfect planet. Some were empty of particles, somewhere time passed differently, somewhere no life could exist. The Aspects fell into dispair.
The Shadow thought to himself and realised something. The world could also be a living being. So, if they create a world together, and give it a mind, time, life and so on, of its own, it could become the perfect world. And so they did, and in turn, created the eighth Aspect. The Aspect of Soul. Now eight, they concentrated all of their focus to one little inch of space. From an atom became a rock, from a rock a planet, from a planet a living being. And they named it Eggodin. It was full of life and magic. Time was stable, there was plenty of light thanks to a nearby Sun and Shadow created a Moon so the living beings could look at something, when the Sun would set. And the Aspects were happy.
This story is maybe short to you, but who knows how long did it take for the Aspects to create Eggodin. Maybe a thousand eons, or a few seconds. Who knows? What I know, is that the Aspects were happy with this world, and tired of their endless work. And so, they went to live together on this little world.
But nothing lasts for long. The peace surely doesn't. And when the Aspects left the universe to care for itself, something dark emerged. You see, the Aspects forgot one thing. The universe was young, and it breathed Time into existence. But Time wasn't the only thing it created that moment. Something very small. A small particle of chaos was left untouched by the Aspects. And now that the Aspects were gone, it began to grow. And so, the Aspect of Chaos was left alone. Drifting through the endless void. Forgotten by it's siblings.
