Prologue?

It was empty. Nothing but the sound of an empty overbearing void, all around. Almost as if death had overtaken everything. But among this nothingness was an unbearably hot fire. A fire so bright it burned all it touched to ashes.

The once empty void was now full of life, never seen before. A previously unseen hand was stretched out and touched this fire that burned brighter than the sun. Almost as if accepting its presence, the previously unbearably bright fire dimmed.

Although the fire dimmed it was still exponentially hot. So hot that the once untouchable hand was beginning to burn, but as if following some sort of rebirth it kept regenerating over and over again. Eventually the fire ,as if seemingly getting bored of this interaction, began to increase its unbearably hot flames across the void. The hand, not being able to bear the flames, was pushed back.

As if trying to deny the void's existence ,the flame begin burning brighter and brighter until everything in this seemingly endless void was engulfed in flames. The hand was pushed back and as if responding to the fire, it suddenly grew a body. A genderless body with no facial features aside from a mouth. It slowly walked to the center of the flames, burning itself to almost unrecognizable lengths.

Taking its hand like it had done before, the body reached out to seemingly grab the flame. Then as if something had overtaken it, slowly opened its mouth and with a dominating tone said "Reduce all creation to ash, Ryujin Jakka". As if following the command of the voice, time stood still for a bit before the formerly earth eating fire was extinguished. Leaving behind in its wake only a wooden staff.
