Veil of Shadows
Listen carefully then, at that point, for the story that I will tell you holds an illustration. An illustration that may one day protect you... so listen cautiously...
It's the account of... the first being, and the last... the narrative of Chaos itself...
Quite a long time ago, I can affirm that there existed a period before time itself where there was only an interminable empty of endlessness. During this time of nothingness, just something single meandered around the universe, Chaos.
A plague energy that had the ability to deliver never-ending creation and interminable obliteration.
In this period, the energy traversed distinctive multiverses just to discover haziness... all-out dimness. In that, it was debilitated as it had nothing to stay with it. However, it didn't surrender. Furthermore, eventually, it had a deep longing. A craving so solid that it drove it into an abrogate. It was a desire to become the strongest... the invisible... the curator... the guardian of all things.
Its goal was simple, to become strong that it could create other beings or things that could give it company. And with little effort, it started to grow...
That was its only purpose...
And one day... but what was a 'day' as time itself didn't exist?..
Also, what was time?..
As it had the ability to create limitless creation and endless destruction, it started creating as there wasn't anything to annihilate.
From the get-go, it could just make things that even it couldn't clarify; however, it didn't obliterate them as it imagined that there would come a period that it could show its first endless creation to a particularly favored one. A being that it could assent with and share its information with it.
After such countless preliminaries, finally, it made the components which came to be known as 'The First Creation.'
One by one, the elements formed, starting with Time and Space. Then as it became more familiar and knowledgeable, it created the Fire, Water, Earth, and Air elements.
With that, it was satisfied... in any case, seeing that there was infinite darkness, it thought of something that would empower its manifestations to see, notice and be proud of the other creations around them.
With a thought, it created the seventh element... Light. And everything was shrouded with so much light that it was blinding for its creations. As time advanced, Chaos continued learning and understanding its flaws.
It tuned down the extreme light until it was tolerable and furthermore could feature its excellent manifestations to other people. However, something was all the while missing...
It believed that unending haziness was exhausting; however, seeing this perpetual light was likewise exhausting as it was the polar opposite of what things were before all else. So it made the eighth element which it just dispensed with quite recently, Darkness...
These eight elements turned into its first effective manifestations, and Chaos around then committed boundless time in culminating them.
And with the power of time... new elements began forming, naturally. Including Nature, Ice, and Life...
However, as it had to keep everything balanced, it created one more element after the initial eight. Death... and from one of its qualities of endless destruction, it was one of the two perfect elements that would take care of things in its stead.
The Life and Death elements!
As time progressed, other life forms began taking form, including people, beasts, wildlife, and aquatic species.
Civilizations rose and fell, wars broke out, were fought, and occasionally, were won or lost. Through all these, the universe continued to advance and make its own breakthroughs.
When all this was happening, Chaos was there... watching from the shadows how its creations acted when they thought that no one was watching... and it will be here long after our time has expired...
Yet, something is as yet absent... what could it be?
...
In the beginning, there was Chaos. However, he wasn't alone. He was in good company.
As in all things ought to be with balance, Chaos had his very own sister. And she was Order.
They lived together for eternity, and all they had was each other. However, as time elapsed gradually, Order became tired of her siblings' constant whining.
He could generally upset the quiet environment that was around them by making a turbulent one where it made Order feel uncomfortable. From the beginning, it was tolerable to awaken to her sibling's constant unsettling influences, yet with time, she considered everything to be a disturbance.
At this time, there wasn't a lot to do as they invested all their energy sleeping. However, with Chaos around, and consistent pestering, Order thought about the best solution for everything.
In order to enjoy her serene everlasting rest, Order left when her brother was taking a nap.
In the vast emptiness, she knew that he would one day find her. So as she pondered on where to go, an idea popped up in her head. An idea that could enable her to be close to his brother, always by her side. And at the same time, to be far away.
To be in a place where she could observe everything without her sibling knowing or sensing that he was being watched.
With one final gander at her sibling, Order kissed his forehead before the dull space before her tore open, and she ventured inside. On the opposite side, she met with another unending obscurity.
An unfathomable length of time of nothingness that could make any being go crazy with a couple of long periods of staying.
However, as she was the brains between the duo, everything soon took shape according to her thoughts.
The darkness became more sparse as a white mist rose from nowhere. And soon, she explored her new domain as she added a few touches here and there.
When Order was satisfied with everything, she conjured a massive throne, and on it, she sat while watching her sibling on the other side of the veil. This new domain of hers, she decided to call it the Veil of Shadows as it wasn't like she vanished into another realm. She just tore the space in this realm and hid within that space.
...
Eons passed, and Chaos woke up with a yawn. He stood up and stretched his body out before noticing that it was too quiet. Becoming alarmed, he turned around only to be met with endless darkness with no signs of his sister.
Screaming all he could, Chaos nearly became insane as he wandered everywhere that he could go in search of Order.
Finally, he hurled a moan of alleviation as he plunked down and cried his all.
