1.1 - Unity

That is how it all began—and how it will always be.

The Unity was always there, a massive, glowing energy complex in the emptiness, present even from the farthest reaches.

In the beginning, the Unity was dormant, concentrated within a spherical shape of infinite energy that was still and quiet, simply waiting—even as other, smaller primeval masses floated through the emptiness around it. These smaller energy groups were eventually known as the Primeval Spirits, as they were made from the same primeval energy as the Unity, but they were also independent, and would eventually prove to have wills and minds of their own.

Then came the moment – a spark of curiosity in the darkness and emptiness. Perhaps it was the contact of a passing Primeval Spirit, a brush with an external mote of light or movement in the darkness.

But whatever it was, the Unity awakened. With this single spark of curiosity and awareness, the Unity awakened and began to move and grow. And with this awakening, Time began… even as the Unity began to expand and organize itself, balancing its energy, exploring the emptiness and taking shape in wonder and an innate desire to create structures of great beauty and light.

Yet even within the radiance and beauty of its awakening, the Unity’s beginnings were not wholly pure or benign, even here. Energy is a pure substance, and as a part of everything that exists, both spiritual and physical, it can become a force for positivity through benevolent or good vibrations, or for negativity through malicious vibrations. Chaotic vibrations, too, can cause effects that are neither good nor bad in intention, but that can still prove out of control and disruptive.

Therefore, the Unity’s rapid expansion and desire to grow, as beautiful as it was, and while it created much that was magnificent beyond description… also created disturbances and disharmonious vibrations—disruptions that would last for ages.

1.2 - The Expansion Beyond

As the time of this earliest of beginnings passed—as this new area of the Unity expanded in size and complexity, many more spirits spun forth and around it—some dark and vast, and others bright with light and purpose. The bright spirits that sparked within it began to dance and whirl, spreading themselves throughout the darkness while emanating light and turning into lanterns. These lights in the darkness guided other spirits of brightness and warmth and created the bounded area of this space that came to be known as Mother Nature.

And still more changes were taking place within the Unity as well. One of the spirits that rejoiced around the Unity, and which shone brighter and more strongly than any other, was the Sun, and its smaller siblings—tiny, more delicate lights—were the Stars. The Sun placed itself deliberately in the center of Mother Nature, providing warmth and protection from the huge, dark spirits that also roamed out in the void.

But there was more growth and transformation occurring. Moving from an intensely concentrated and disorganized mass within the Unity to an eventual harmonious growth and expansion, the blossoming of Mother Nature was watched by many of the Primeval Spirits, who were amazed at the new shapes and vibrations being created. Some were blissful at witnessing the creation of such captivating beauty, while others were distrustful and even envious.

1.3 - Primeval Spirits and the Birth of Erra

Watching the creation process with fascination, a flaming Primeval Spirit then willingly joined the newly forming domain, and in a swirling dance of energy, it had enveloped itself with Mother Nature's energy and created a sphere covered in a thick layer of earth.

This newborn sphere, a new source of life within the turbulence of Mother Nature, was Erra, a planet of blooming life and wonder.

And even as Erra was formed, another watching Primeval Spirit felt love for the new and delicate globe in the darkness, and it reached out its energy and light to embrace the new sphere. As this Primeval spirit stretched out to embrace and protect the newborn Erra to shield it from the coldness of the void, it transformed into a vast and beautiful essence of light and air that encircled it entirely. This essence was the opposite of the earth and stone of Erra, and yet it was just as essential, offering the necessary balance for light and life.
