Timeless Garden: Blood Lily

Timeless Garden Series In the beginning, there was the empty, then came the light, and with the light came the darkness. Light -being - had been lonely for it only had its equal, Darkness which was nothingness, and so Light created. Being made the burning cosmos, the life-giving water, the varying planets, and many other beings. With it all Being made it again, and again till there was an infinite of its creations. Nothingness was forgotten in the absence of life and so Darkness did what darkness knows best, and consumed. Taking and taking the Darkness consumed till Being along with its favored creations tricked the Darkness. Betrayed by its equal Darkness remained trapped in a cage without form, state, and time. Life flourished and the Darkness was forgotten along with balance. The Light being the creator of life and worlds was deemed omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. It was this own self-belief that existed during the birth and death of worlds that made Light forget the fundamental law of its own existence; the need for balance. In the creation of a being most powerful from God’s own favored creations, God made a fatal error in bringing forward its existence. For every action, there is an equal opposite reaction. For a child born of order, there must be another born of chaos. And so the powerful preordained creation brought forward an opposite reaction of chaos and besieged the Light, taking it for its own and destroying the darkness in the process. Yet the abomination that was never meant to be had the opposite reaction of its nature; as the only equal, it accepted the place of the Darkness and brought forward order and balance for the sacrifice of becoming nothingness.
