Chapter 2 - The Ancient Scroll

It was as calm as a sea.

In an unknown space and time, everything was tranquil, as if it was foreshadowing the arrival of something, something never meant to be.

It was dark in this unknown space, but it was illuminated by clouds of dust of diverse colors. They seemed to contain countless cosmoses. They and the countless celestial bodies that inhabited them seemed to move in a formation, in an enchanting pattern. This was beauty in its truest form.

This was where the creation of worlds took place, where the big bang occurred. One could still see similar occurrences happening at the moment. The collision of celestial bodies. Deaths of destitute worlds. Everything was happening right here and the people it affected couldn't see the brilliance of it, this cosmic spectacle.

This was beauty in its truest form.

Suddenly, a white ball of light appeared in this vast space with light so bright that it illuminated the dark space. It took a while for the light to stabilize, but when it did it brought a pressure so domineering that it destroyed many cosmoses in its wake, making it impossible to even look at it. If it was sentient, one would think it was announcing its presence in the most brutal way. An arrogant one, that was it was.

"Would you look at that? It has the same color as mine", a sarcastic voice sounded in the unknown space. The source of the voice was a white humanoid light that appeared next to the ball of light.

Gr-Grrr-Grrr-Grrr!!!!

"What a shame ", the white humanoid sighed. It looked at the now aggressive white ball then looked at an empty space," Mind helping me here?".It looked as though it was expecting something.

"Silence!", a blue humanoid light appeared with a cold voice as it suppressed the white ball and its outburst, which then revealed to be hiding a scroll-like object within the white light.

The scroll was made with an ancient and beautiful design. It gave a feeling as though it was made since the beginning of time. On the scroll, there were multiple obscure symbols, two of which had the same energy signature as the white and blue humanoid.

The scroll emitted a hum that could put one at ease.

Due to its celestial radiance, it could make one worship its holiness. Any being who stares at it wouldn't escape that outcome.

Well, except for them, that is.

The white humanoid looked at the scroll, "It is official now. The countdown has begun. For beings like us, there isn't much time left. I better start my preparations. What are you going to do?" It asked the blue humanoid

"I will also start my preparations, though there is not really much to prepare. I also plan on helping my children.", replied the blue humanoid

The white humanoid beamed. He was interested in the blue humanoid plans. The blue humanoid was known for being in control of everything. It was a natural planner. There was even a rumor that it even planned for every step he took, not a single step was wasted. It was a perfectionist.

"What do you plan on doing with your children?", asked the happy and excited white humanoid.

"None of your damn business!", the blue humanoid replied coldly and calmly. It then took a look back, as if sensing something. It faced the white humanoid and said, "Let's go, the others are coming"

"Tch!!, I keep telling you that you shouldn't curse with such a voice. You sound depressing", the white humanoid sighed, but he couldn't find the blue humanoid as it had already left.

"Fuck!!", it cursed as he pursued the blue humanoid.

Just as they left, many other lights appeared near the scroll.
