The Myth of Our Beginning

When Nothing gave birth to Everything, two forces worked together to keep it in a constant state of balance and growth. The Light and the Dark were powerful entities, the former like a glowing shape shifter that shone in all directions, the latter a swirling mist, every inch of it an endless pit. Together they explored realms and dimensions simultaneously, pushing and pulling like magnets, spreading optimum harmonious health for Everything.

Not long after did they begin to become conscious of themselves and decided to slow down their work, picking and choosing their travels. Suddenly there was more of Light in some areas and more of Dark in others. Chaos ensued as the pockets of space deprived of Dark's depths were blinded, and the corners starved of Light’s guidance were consumed whole. Nothing could do nothing but watch.

Their tails touched a peculiar place, one pulsating with curiosity. A blue orb spun there, its gravitational pull tickling them. They further slowed down Time intentionally.

“This one’s mine,” said Dark, about to sting.

“Hold on,” Light interjected, “this one seems interesting.”

Dark sighed, “Fine, let us see whose power grows the most.”

The lightness brought forth Altruism, Empathy and Compassion, whilst the darkness added Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy. And so with that, they fertilised all the essence of the deep blue and waited.
