1 Prologue: Let there be Light...

Staring out into the expanse of the void, a sea of emptiness laid before Him.

He breathed, and balls of nuclear fire adorned the obsidian canvas like glowing jewels of hope and radiance, good and beauty.

Spinning his fingers, he molded planets and set them into motion, orbiting the jewels he had placed in the void.

On each planet he blessed with the breath of life, carefully watching the animals and plants grow, the fish fill the seas, the bird soar the skies. And finally, the sapient races would walk the soils.

Some of these races formed civilizations of radiant light, pillars or morality and love. Others remained bound to their swords, cutting down those who possessed what they did not.

He watched these worlds both with pride and utter disgust. The chorus of praise and thanks rose from the peaceful worlds, reaching His ears, while the war-ridden ones filled His eyes with crimson blood and viscera.

He knew what He had to do.

Clenching his mighty hands, he would bring down His almighty wrath on those who displeased Him, and they would suffer the ultimate price.

Worlds cracked, and millions screamed in despair as He snuffed the souls of countless beings He had created.

And with His wrath sated, He turned His gaze to the ones who He delighted in.

For over the eternities He had existed, He had grown tired of peace.

And He continued to watch with joy as the rivers of blood and mounds of bodies grew.
