    "First, there was nothing. ''No light or darkness, no skies nor anything resembeling existance at all. There was only nothing. Then there was a spark. A tiny seed grew out of the Nothingness and took root withing itself. It was fiery as the fire yet to exist. The Nothingness collapsed into itself. It fell into the tiny seed, packing tight around it. The seed, now glowing without light, took the Nothingness to feed upon so that it could live, But the Nothingness ran out and the seed had nothing to feed upon. In great need to find something to feed its forever hungry heart, the seed took a deep breath, deeper than itself. And the final walls of Nothingness collapsed. From behind the broken walls, there was Light. Having existed outside the walls of Nothingness, the Light had pressed, curious of the nature of the seed. Yet now, when it saw the true nature of it, the Light resisted against the pulling towards the seed. It refused to blend with the Nothingness because it did not want to be fed upon. But instead of leaving, the Light called upon itself to protect the seed from feeding off the wrong things, because it saw the beauty the seed possesed. So it took the seed and the Nothingness into its arms and surrounded them, giving the seed false energy from itself to feed from without the Light having to lose itself.''

''The seed existed in peace with the Light and the Nothingness for many long years. But from where the light had emerged, the Darkness soon followed. It had been at war with the Light since before the birth of the seed, before the Nothingness. Now, it followed the footsteps of the Light and set eyes upon the resting seed. Greed for the power of the seed made the Darkness thrust itself upon the alliance. The Light hardened and centered its defense so the Darkness could not enter. Seeing its useless attempts, the Darkness switched tactics. Forming its entire being into a sharp spear, the Darkness launched itself at the Light, and fell through. The speed of the spear created such a force and density in the Nothingness as it passed through, so that when it finally reached the seed, it swallowed the Darkness whole. But for the newly awakened hunger, the Darkness was not enough. With newfound strenght, it also swallowed the entirety of Nothingness and Light.''

''It was too much for the seed to contain; the energy, the gravity and force. But the seed was persistant and did not give up. Its inside tore itself apart. Everything exploded in fireworks of nothingness, light and darkness, and Existence was created.''
