1 Walking Through The Void
Every step was soft and heavy. Every moment lasted eternity, but was over in a second.
As Sheng Zhuo walked his lonely path amongst nothingness, silence issued at least.
From nothingness came the void, and the void was full of nothing. Then came silence, and Shen Zhuo through the silence walked alone.
Shen Zhuo walked, and as he walked, a great figure stood in his way. There was void no more, and there was nothingness no more, for silence had been breached by sound, and sound had condensed on a mighty being.
A great yogi with its blue skin and three eyes, sitting on perpetual stillness. The first of things was also the last, and its essence pervaded all, for its essence was both silence and void.
From the great nothingness the yogi created the land, and from the land there came the creator. A god with ten heads and four hands, its eyes perpetually looking in the horizon, then painted the void with great and collorful colors.
However, so many collors disappeared. The god itself remained, but no creation of his existed in the void. As soon as something from his forehead emaneted, an awful shriek and the piercing scream of a mad woman could be heard. All returned to the void, as if it never had existed.
The old god desired to create, and from his own self he brought the concept of permanence. The old god such concept emanated, but this itself also dissipated, for time and space refused the gods' creation.
-Who dares to destroy mine creation, who dares to steal mine issue? I may beest merciful, but those who pretend to beest the goddess i shalt not forgive!
The ten-headed god roared with rage, but his roar died amidst the screams of the goddess.
- Is t thee, puny spirit? No, thee could not beest the one! returneth to thy time, for this beginning of times is not the lodging for thee!
The frail Shen Zhuo almost broke, his spirit damaged beyond redemption. However, soon came someone to his aid.
- cease this, and nev'r again dare thee to giveth mine children the blessing of eternal damnation, Bhramah!
Amongst the emptiness, time and space then formed into a god. It was Krsna, and in its arms it received the scared and broken Sheng Zhuo.
-Daring and puny god, i am the creator of this world, of this universe! thee aren't but a simple bethought of mine! Scram to the side and giveth up thy pride!
As Bhramah spoke, his might on the void inflated. In his hands a mighty weapon, Brahmashirsha astra - the ultimate weapon of creation, able to destroy anyone it touched.
- thee dare to useth this weapon, Bhramah? This is the beginning, and Krsna wouldn't beest hither if 't be true not for this small spirit. Retreat at once, or visage mine might and beest destroyed!
From the void a mighty force pushed forth. It was the all-encompassing, the all-loving. It was lord Vishnu itself, and it rode on the World Snake. On its hand, the terrifying Narayanastra shone brightly.
- Enough of this! This time the universe shalt not beest! cometh! visage me! Once and for all, the cycle of creation shalt interrupted beest!
As the weapons were ready to fire, a single and heavy thud could be heard. Trishula, the trident of Lord Shiva, manifested, and all gods prostated.
- Lord Shiva hath hath decided. Brother Bhramah, if 't be true we square, no creation wilt cometh to beest. However, no Void wilt remain as well. All wilt returneth to nothingness, and so we shalt cease.
- Brother Vishnu, so Lord Shiva hath hath decided forsooth. We shalt square no more! However, the thrue creator of this world wast I, and of this i am certain. if 't be true the pilar of fire doesn't appeareth, and if 't be true lest I not unable to findeth it's beginnings, then the creation shalt cease to beest as well!
- Brother Bhramah, so am i certain as well, that the true creator of this world is none other than me. shall we giveth to Lord Shiva, so the pillar of fire can beest summoned and our ignorance cleansed!
With a thought of his head, Bhramah materialized a bronze vessel, filled with water. Vishnu, then, this bronze vessel took for himself.
With another thought, Bhramah then manifested the chanting of Lord Shivas' name, its' names' mantra.
And Vishnu then began to sing it.
Hand in hand, Vishnu and Bhramah so offered water to Lord Shiva, while singing his name.
True enough, a pillar of fire appeared, and both gods went to try and find both it's height and its deep.
As for Shen Zhuo, his spirit was then taken in by Krsna, and in a land of purity arrived.
