Chapter 1 - Before the birth of the universe

In the beginning, there was only absolute darkness.

It was an endless void, devoid of time, space, or form—a realm where even the concept of existence itself had no meaning. The absolute darkness reigned supreme, omnipresent yet paradoxically absent, for there was no light to define it.

From this eternal darkness arose three beings, the first to exist—the Creators. They were born not of design, but as manifestations of the void's yearning to give form to itself.

The eldest, driven by an insatiable craving for power, sought to command all that would come to be. From his might, he forged seven celestial beings, vast and eternal, to shape the forces of creation. Thus, he was named Vorthern the Omnipotent, the Supreme Ruler.

The second eldest, emerging from the shadows, was consumed by a desire for knowledge. She studied the seven celestials, her siblings, and even the fabric of the darkness itself, unraveling secrets hidden within the void. For this, she was called Sophosyne the Omniscient, the Keeper of Truths.

The youngest of the three, born last yet perhaps closest to the darkness, felt a profound emptiness. His craving was not for control or understanding but for presence, to immerse himself in the infinite and be one with it. He became Ubivor the Omnipresent, the All-Encompassing One.

For a time, the three creators existed in harmony, their desires balanced by the infinite scope of the void. But infinity, it seemed, was not enough. Their cravings, born from their very nature, grew insatiable. Vorthern sought power beyond creation, Sophosyne hungered for truths beyond the void, and Ubivor longed to experience not just presence but everything that could be.

Their focus turned to the very essence of their creations: the Seven Celestials, each embodying a fundamental force of reality. They conspired to use the essence of the celestials as a foundation to transcend their limitations and claim supremacy over all.

Among the seven celestials, two rose in defiance of their creators' plan.

Revasise, the Celestial of Change, whose very essence was transformation. She foresaw the distortion of darkness itself, a shift that would unmake the balance of existence. Her form, ever-shifting and fluid, became a symbol of resistance to stagnation and greed.

Sarvaya, the Celestial of Existence, the embodiment of being itself. She felt the threat deeply within her essence, for to dismantle her was to unravel the fabric of reality. She stood firm, her presence unyielding, even as the creators' ambitions loomed over her.

Revasise and Sarvaya warned their celestial siblings, urging unity against the creators. But conflict stirred among them, for some of the celestials remained loyal to Vorthern, while others doubted their ability to defy beings so powerful.

This sets the stage for a cosmic struggle between the Three Creators and the Seven Celestials, with themes of balance, ambition, and the conflict between creators and their creations. Would you like to develop the lore of the remaining celestials or explore how this conflict unfolds?
