Chapter Text
Let there be light.
Let there be a starting point of existence that will give rise to something bright.
Let there be an explosion that will be large and quite beautiful in sight.
Let there be gravity that pulls and attracts. And a space that feels spacious, not cramped or tight.
Let there be time that will hold account for all the moments.
Let there be giant clouds of gases that are born from those large explosions.
Let the stars be born from the wombs of those giant space clouds, which will be shining in immense brightness and beauty,
Let there be expansion of room for the existing creations to move around, and let all of the vacuum be full of light that looks heavenly.
Let motes and specks be binding and attracting, making a foundation for the living.
Let there be clean air for the creatures who will start breathing.
Let there be energy, elements, and many more abstract forces of different kinds to be born as such.
Let there be a start and an end of dawn and dusk.
Isn’t creating something quite a divine experience? You, as the reader, might question– “What do you mean by this, you mysterious narrator?” Well, let me elaborate on that sentence in a descriptive style.
In the beginning, when The Original One set up a starting point of existence by creating light at first, it led to an explosion of creating conscious existence itself. And quite frankly, the idea of existence came, ironically, into existence. Reality was born from this explosion, and this explosion was the starting point. It might sound confusing and zigzag-ish to you, the reader. But you have to think about it more deeply. You have to use your critical thinking and logic to comprehend the sentences I have spoken out loudly with my mouth. Wow, that was really a mouthful! For you, it might seem like that. But for me, the Narrator, it is not. I mean, there will be more that will make you go crazy. So, be ready for all that reading mess. The path of our conversation has drifted in another direction. This is quite a parallel to what happened after the explosion of all creation and existence. All were scattering around, and the vacuum room of the void was gaining some sort of mass and space. It was expanding in all directions. And then there came the creation of time, which held every moment of this divine event. The stars were born from the wombs of giant gases. It might sound really weird to you, especially to the girls who might think how a giant gas has a womb, even though that is not physical, but rather abstract. But hear me out, more things will sound very weird later on to both sides. Anyways, the stars came into existence because of those giant gases and the gravity which pulled all those large clouds of gases together to bring a new creation into reality. And then there came the expansion of the vacuum room to give these stars some space to move around. After that, there came the small particles, which are quarks and gluons, from which the protons and neutrons were made. The elements were made, and the first ones were hydrogen and helium. All of this had happened because of the Original Creator’s desire to forge creations. This makes the idea of creation quite divine. Now you may understand behind me describing the idea of creating something “divine”.
Everyone has a desire of forging creations. The Original One wasn’t the only one who felt that desire. Even his own creations had felt the need to create something. Every creature that The Original One had ever created had an inherited divine desire to forge creations. It can be about creating a shelter for yourself, a set of selected activities to lead the day perfectly, which is a routine, a meal to feed your stomach and many more. These are just primal creations, as there are more kinds of creations out there. And the other kinds of creations were invented by the creatures created by the Original One. These creatures of the Original One had a fierce desire to forge creations that were abstract in nature, quite fantastic in some regards, and very impressive overall. Those creatures were human beings, demons and fallen angels. Humans are the anchors of forging creations that are created from the doubts of the unknown and life. They always have a desire of living the life to the fullest without any regrets or mishaps. But they know that reality is not like that. So, that’s why they are often on a journey of doubts and self-realisation. They want to comfort themselves and do things that benefit themselves. And then there comes Demons whom are the anchors of forging creations that manipulate the minds of sentient beings and hold the powers of possession. They have a very strong lust for dominance and rebellion, as they are infamously known as the most evil and rebellious creations of the Original One. At lastly comes the Fallen Angels, who are the anchors of rebellious creations, as they had fallen from the restricted divine environments. They had lost the desire to be the “perfect” models of modesty, discipline, love and character. They had wanted to feel the imperfect, flawed and rebellious side of living. They had started to question divine laws and regulations. And slowly but surely, they had started to feel strong desires to try to break out from a strict environment, break the rules and live a life of imperfect and flawed rules just like those who had been born in a free-will environment, such as human beings and demons.
This is where the borders of moral and immoral started to fracture. And this is also the start of the line between the mortal and the divine, which started to get thin. But you might ask- “Where’s the Original One? Why is He not doing anything to prevent these kinds of things from happening?” Well, my friend, you have a wrong perception about God, or I might say, gods. You see, the Original One is the “God” in all capital letters. Like literally the One, who is the first and the last. But the thing is that people think that God is an all-omniscient, all-wise and all-powerful entity who can do anything with only just thinking about it. That is where people start having doubts about God. Because if God is truly an all-omniscient, all-wise and all-powerful entity that can do anything with one single thought, then why are sadness and cruelty ruling over the world? Why do heinous acts like mass murdering of innocent people, rape, cannibalism, prostitution, oppression towards poor people, honour-killing, and countless other horrendous acts exist simultaneously within the presence of an all-omniscient and all-powerful divine entity? Did anyone ever think about that before? Those who are indulged in these unthinkable acts do not feel bad, guilt or regret. Everybody knows that. But doesn’t God feel anything when these kinds of acts are happening in His presence? That’s where you realise that either God is both all-omniscient and all-wise but not all-powerful, or God is all-powerful and all-omniscient but not all-wise. There is no middle ground here. I mean, if God is both all-powerful, all-wise and all-omniscient, can’t He provide any justice to those who have become victims of these heinous and horrendous acts? If He is called all-wise and literally was like that, then He would have provided punishment to those who deserve it. He should give justice to those who are victims of these heinous acts. But there is no response from God at all. I mean, there is some justice done, but not by the government or the law system. Rather, it is done by people with full determination and courage in pursuit of deserved justice for the victims. If the government or the law system fails to do this, as this is such a basic thing to do for mortals, then how do you expect a divine entity, who sees all things but does not do anything about them, to provide justice for them?
For all of this future accountability, the Original One made three divine entities who had different roles and responsibilities. And after creating them, the Original One had simply disappeared. It was not like He had died or anything like that. He had simply moved on from this universe and basically from this batch of reality. Now, after the departure from this reality, these three divine entities started taking responsibilities in controlling the universe. The three divine entities were titled according to their given roles and responsibilities- The Creator, The Sustainer and the Destroyer. Their real names were Badimunus (The Creator), Musazzizu (The Sustainer), and Rasap (the Destroyer). Badimunus was a woman, and the other two were men. She was the first goddess in existence. You can call the mother of all, literally and figuratively. Musazzizu had the power to maintain the structure and balance of the universe. And Rasap was the one who had the power to destroy or erase anything out of existence. These three had different personalities. Such as Badimunus, who was gentle and calm, Musazzizu was always steady and ready for any situation to handle, and Rasap, who was more of a guy who totally does not like his duty. I mean He did not really hate duty but rather felt like He was feared for being, you know, the “Destroyer”. I mean, the creatures, at the time of their creation, were like only ocean-dwelling creatures who looked nothing like the animals of the present day, had feared Him. He just wanted to be seen as more friendly. In speaking of being seen as friendly, well, all three had, let’s say, quite interesting appearances. Like they all had some sort of weird forms. They did not look humanoid because, at that time, dinosaurs had not existed yet, let alone humans. So, their physical bodies were mostly composed of light. I mean, they are divine beings after all. But each of them had different colours of light. Badimunus was Amber Orange, Musazzizu was Light Mint Green, and Rasap was Red. Each of their colours symbolised their roles. Amber Orange symbolised creation, Light Mint Green symbolised the sustainability of life itself, and Red symbolised Death or Destruction.
The time these three beings were created coincided with the emergence of life on Earth, and most of its living creatures were primarily marine-based. Meaning they were created by the Original One at that time. Badimunus had a fish-like body with some sort of humanoid hips and legs on the lower part of the body, and wings all over the body. Her face was covered with a glowing Amber Orange coloured light, and had 3 star symbols orbiting around her head, two on the left and right sides respectively of their own individually. And the third one on the top of her head. Musazzizu had a shark-like texture on his body. It was a bit humanoid with slightly toned stomach and shoulders. His head was covered with Mint Light Green coloured light.
For the first hundred years of their existence, they had been managing the universe and what was in it. They had taken their responsibilities seriously and did not waste a single second doing unnecessary activities. They were efficient in balancing all orders of the universe, creating new laws to amend some broken ones and sustaining the entire reality. They had been doing this for a while, and later on became tired. Badimunus, the Creator, was tired of creating things and wanted a big rest. Musazzizu, the Sustainer, was tired of sustaining the universe and its entirety and desperately wanted a break from all these responsibilities. And lastly, Rasap, the Destroyer, was just bored with his duties. He was the one who realised that he and the other two had been managing the whole universe and entirety of the singular reality for a hundred years. The first two deities had looked at him with confusion and then became aware of their situation.
They had wondered, “Why am I doing all of this? What is the purpose behind this? Is there any purpose behind doing this? Was there any actual purpose behind this? Am I the purpose itself?” Doubts had come in like a flowing waterfall. They had started doubting their own existence and then questioning their purposes. They had become too self-aware of their existence that made them feel very uncomfortable and heavily paranoid of themselves. They had tried several attempts at answering their own questions and doubts, but all of them had failed. Then Badimunus, the Creator, asked herself and the other two deities, "Where did we all come from? Who is the one responsible for creating us? Where is that creator?" This question had hit them hard like a rushing heavy meteoroid. They could not answer that curious question of theirs.
Honestly speaking, it's quite intriguing to see these three deities having their own existential crisis. It seemed funny at first, but quite scary if you took the time to understand their feelings and overall situation. Imagine you are a being with powers that are quite incomprehensible, and there are two other beings aside from you who also have the same kind, albeit a different kind of powers. It doesn't really matter because you and the other two beings are powerful in your respective fields. You and the other two had been mindlessly creating things and bringing them into reality, sustaining the whole universe and its entirety, and destroying things when they needed to be destroyed. Suddenly, one of them had their first ever thought that was based on their awareness of reality and started questioning everything. And that made the other one question too, and you were the last one to get that effect. Doesn't it feel scary and very existential-crisis-esque?
Moving back to the three deities having their existential crises. All three were starting to doubt themselves and wondering if there were any limits to their powers. Badimunus, the Creator, started to doubt if there were limits to how much and what kind of creations she could create. Musazzizu, the Sustainer, started to doubt how much longer he could sustain the universe and its entirety and probably the whole reality itself. Rasap, the Destroyer, started to doubt if there were limits to what things he could not destroy. All of the three beings were starting to get into arguments with each other on the matter of their powers, potential weaknesses and the growing tension of their existential awareness. After all of their arguments, they were deciding whether they would just continue whatever they were before the existential crisis or actually try to solve the mystery behind their existence and the overall reality itself.
Then they all three took a long and first ever breathe hey were wondering one thing altogether – “Who created us?” and “Why did that unknown Creator create us? For which purpose or reason did that Creator create us?” These questions were making them feel uncomfortable and scared. They had never known the Original One. They had been spawned into existence and were never given instructions directly. But they were doing their duties according to their roles as if they had been created for this. Wait, hold on. Created for this? As the three deities pondered on that puzzling thought. They were trying to make sense of this. Were they really created for being the entities to hold responsibilities, bring things into reality and take things out of reality? They were realising something from all these questions, and that is, they could do and create anything they ever wanted with a single thought. This single thought blew them away, metaphorically speaking. They were awestruck by how much they could do and even so how much they could cross. The Original One was the source of power and somehow made three more sources of power. The three deities looked upon the whole universe in one glance and thought to themselves, “We can do anything to it. We can totally change all the orders of this universe. We can do it all.” Then Badimunus thought of something beyond her limits, and that was to create a new universe. Because she has the duties and powers of a creator, she can practically and theoretically create anything she wills. That thought alone sent chills through her body. Then she was deciding if creating a new universe was a good idea. She asked Musazzizu and Rasap about it. Musazzizu replied with- “You are literally the Creator. You can do anything at this point.” And Rasap replied with – “Do it anyway. Besides, we had been stuck in this mindless position of creating, sustaining and destroying for 100 years.” She felt encouraged and decided that she would create a brand new universe. Time did not stand still for her, as her one single thought of creating a universe led to it really happening in reality. She saw a big explosion happen in front of her own eyes. The other two were in awe of this sight. All three witnessed a Big Bang together. They were seeing a universe taking birth in real time, and they could not believe their own eyes.
This single desire to create a universe led them to cross the limits of their own powers. Slowly but surely, they were getting a bit too powerful for their own good and even started creating new entities to increase the divine workflow. Over the course of another 100 years, there were 1000 new entities made. And even there was a divine family tree and also a hierarchy of entities. Badimunus and Musazzizu were the parents of a whole hierarchy class of entities called Yeladihim, who were extremely powerful and could even be considered as the children of the Original One because of their sheer brutal divine strength and very powerful willpower to create various realities in one millisecond and sustain all of them as if they were just a piece of cake for them. Rasap and Izazi (the Goddess of Death) gave birth to a whole batch of entities called “Atarkama”, who became the ancestors of demons. There came the two goddesses, Parnam and Tanwar, who gave birth to beings named Ahuras and later on will be known as Angels. The first few hundred angels were born female, but the later ones were frequently male and often female, depending on who bred with whom.
It was like a divine hierarchy of classes and families. Every 100 years, there would be elected a new Central God of the whole universe is elected, and a new Uni-Central God of the whole multiverse is elected. Soon, the number of universes had been multiplying so much that the word "multiverse" had become a small term for describing several universes collectively. So, the Gods had decided to create several new terms to describe a large number of universes. The first three hundred and sixty-nine thousand universes had been termed as "multiverse". Then the new three hundred and sixty-nine million universes had been put in a new term titled "Ultraverse". And the last three hundred and sixty-nine billion universes were being categorised as "Omniverse". These three terms - Multiverse, Ultraverse and Omniverse- were the terms to describe three based quantities of universes. The universes, multiverses and omniverses were all collectively called "Haruvagiti".
Then came the matter of powers, which were known as elements. These elements were the foundational blocks to everything in this universe. Elements have different definitions, and to them it had three. One was a word that described parts or things that were needed to make life, something or someone interesting. The second one was about the natural compounds and particles that composed founding blocks for natural and unnatural things. And the last third one was powers. There were 12 elemental powers - Fire, Water, Wind, Materialism, Energy, Nature, Psychic, Dark, Aether, Light, Magic and Time. The first six were collectively titled "Alpha Elements", and the last six were collectively titled "Omega Elements." The first ones were called Alpha because they had been first elemental powers known to exist. And the last ones were called Omega because they had been the last elemental powers known to exist.
The Gods, Atarkamas, and the Ahuras had been the masters of these twelve elemental powers, especially the Gods and the Ahuras. The Gods had taught the Ahuras about all craftsmanship and techniques of these powers and trained them how to use them in the most efficient ways. On the other hand, the Atarkamas had been a bit slow in learning the primary basics of these powers. They had taken a long period of time to teach themselves the primary basics to the fullest capacity of the last ends of this stage of mastery. This long learning period was advantageous to them as they had learned every single piece and bit of all primary techniques and mastered all of its simple mechanics, and later on, continued to master the complex stages easily because of their immense knowledge of the inner workings of the simplest mechanics. It wasn't like the Ahuras and the Gods had no determination to know the inner workings and go further to know the complexity of these powers. But the demons were quite a bit too curious for their own good. The Ahuras and the Demons had real competition in determining who was the most skilled and knowledgeable in these elemental arts and powers. Most of the time, it was the Ahuras being the frequent winners of the competition because of their divine privilege and training by the Gods, whereas the Atarkamas had to learn some lessons and train by themselves. Some Gods took part in teaching them, but they did not really share that much with them. The Atarkamas felt like they were some sort of Divine outcasts, and it seemed like that, too.
The Gods had created different realms and dimensions to showcase their divine strengths and overall transcendental powers. The realms that were created by them are titled “Anki Realms”. The first ever realm that had been created was The Spirit Garden. The Spirit Garden was an infinitely-large realm which looked like a gigantic greenhouse and a garden mixed in a blender. It had crimson-coloured large eggs that the large vine-houses stored inside themselves. Those eggs had contained the souls of every living being in existence. There was a Spirit Garden in every universe. Spirit Gardens were created with a divine rule that they could not be destroyed by anyone except the Original One. But considering that the Original One had been absent for centuries, it was safe to say that this realm would never be destroyed. And then came the legendary realms– Heaven and Hell. Heaven was created for those who had done virtuous things and maintained a decent character in their lives, and Hell was created for those who had done unforgivable and irredeemable acts. There came another realm that was not really a realm in any sense but was really just an infinite white void. It was titled as the "Void of Inanesse". It had some black points that were just tiny glances of the Haruvagiti. Then came a realm that was like a pathway to different dimensions and various realms. The colour of the whole realm was violet, and there were floating mountains and rocks everywhere. Time did not work there. It was called Epipileon Zone. All of the realms, voids, and the omniverses were all collectively put in a word, and that was “Kol Davar”, which meant everything and anything. In another way, you could call it the Ultimate One Reality.
Soon came the day when the Earth was hit by an asteroid, and it wiped out the living beings, especially the Dinosaurs. The Gods took notice of this and realised they needed to do something. The Central God of that time, Elohim, thought to create a new entity that would repopulate the whole earth. The Arch-Angels of the Heavens asked Elohim why he was going to create this new ‘entity’ and told him that there had already been beings who caused tremendous havoc on Earth. Elohim told them that they had no idea what He would do later on. Elohim gathered all the Ahuras of all ranks, Atarkamas and the Yeladihims around the centre of the highest levels of Heaven to showcase the creation of this new ‘entity’. Elohim sat in his big throne while the Cherubim were holding it on each side. Elohim said in a voice that expressed divine authority and order, “Let Us make him in Our image.”
The voice boomed around the whole Heaven, and the gathering of the three classes of entities felt the weight under those words. Elohim ordered Arch-Ahura/Arch-Angel Azrael to bring out every kind and shade of clay that was on the Earth. Arch-Ahura/Arch-Angel Azrael flew to the cosmos and reached the main universe. And then he went on Earth and collected all kinds and shades of clay. After all that collecting, he went back to the Heavens and presented the different kinds and shades of the clay He had ordered him to bring. With all those different variants of clay, He touched all of them and started to form a body. The body was bipedal and had distinct bilateral symmetry. It had specialised appendages that seemed like this entity would use them for tool usage and manipulating its own legs for mobility. So many things were different about the body of this entity. It was completely different from any other living creation that ever existed till now. After finishing it, He brought his mouth closer to the nostrils of the body and blew air into it. The second the air blew inside the nostrils, the body started to act alive. It started to feel sensations, and thus the entity became conscious.
Everyone saw the whole process of bringing life into this body. Every Ahura, Atarkama and Yeladihimi were in awe and wondered what kind of power this entity could have. The Arch-Ahuras/Arch-Angels whispered to one another about the possibilities of this entity having higher or lower powers than they. The Atarkamas, of all ranks, were being sceptical about this entity from the start. This entity had a weird and unique body anatomy and was drastically different from all creations that ever existed till now. The Gods were wondering if this entity would ever reach their level of power and strength or not. They had mostly wondered that it would not ever reach them in terms of power, strength, willpower and mastery of various powerful crafts. Elohim saw the drawing tension between all the beings and their whisperings. He ordered all of them to be silent and bow down to the newly created entity. All of them did except one, and that was Lucifer. Lucifer was one of the highest-ranking Ahuras. He was given a nickname- The Morning Star. He was called The Light Bearer. Lucifer was the divine musician in the Heavens, and he had composed heavenly songs about the glory of life, virtues, happiness and God. He even led the choirs of the Heavens and was the lead musician in every worship. He was simply perfect in everything and beautiful in appearance. Even with all of those positive attributes, he had a big flaw in him, and that was his being a perfectionist. His perfectionism had gone higher and higher, and even to the point where he wanted to be like God. He wanted everyone to treat him as if he were a God. This desire for extreme perfectionism led him to become arrogant, egotistical, and overly cocky.
He projected all of this through his denial of bowing down to this new entity. He did not want to bow down to a being who seemed a lesser being to him. He had not even realised that this being had just become conscious. Lucifer was already judging the mere existence and status of that newly made being. Elohim was heavily disappointed with Lucifer’s behaviour. Elohim said to him in a furious tone that boomed around the gathering place of the beings, “Oh, Lucifer, the Son of Morning! The Light-Bearer! The Living Beauty! The Walking Soundscape! How dare you deny My command!” Everyone flinched at his furious voice and wondered what Elohim would do to him. Lucifer looked at the eyes of Elohim and said, “I do not want to bow down to a being that did not even learn to walk yet. How do you expect us, the Beings of Power and Divine Majesty, to bow down to a being that did not even start a life? It did not become conscious of itself-” His rebellious speech was disturbed by Arch-Angel/Ahura Michael’s staff. Lucifer felt hurt on his cheeks as they got attacked by that staff. Arch-Angel/Ahura Michael quickly took the staff and looked at Lucifer with eyes that had a disappointed glint in them. Then he said to Lucifer, “Your arrogance and ego are the reasons behind your rebellion.” Lucifer became furious and replied, “What!? Oh, you, the Warrior Angel! Can you stop speaking such nonsense to my face?” Michael was even more disappointed with this response. “Are you really testing my patience?” said Michael with a sigh. “No, you are wrong. You are the one who is truly testing my patience here, Michael. I am talking to Him, not to you. You did not need to really throw that staff at my face. That was very rude and not-so-holy of you.” Lucifer said with a mocking tone. Michael tried to stay away from the temptations of anger and replied, “Lucifer, do not even try to start an argument in front of all Ahuras, Atarkamas, Yeladihimis and Elohim Himself. You are breaking the rhythm of the mood, aren’t you?”
“Don’t you try to make music puns to calm me down, Michael. Those will not work on me. I am serious.” – (Lucifer)
“Says the one who has the ego of a thousand mountains. At least try to match your personality with the words you speak out of your mouth, Lucifer.” – (Michael)
“Oh, you are being such a hypocrite. You are supposed to be the one who should be strong in all regards– handling rough situations, battling and all that stuff. Now, you are the one who is being terrible at handling this, Michael.” – (Lucifer)
Everyone was seeing their bickering and pretty much felt tired of them. Michael and Lucifer never really had a good bond with each other. Lucifer was the egotistical one, and Michael was the ignorant and ready-to-fight one. Elohim stopped them bickering and told Lucifer to leave the Heavens and take abode in other realms. Lucifer left the heavens and went to the Epipileon Zone. Elohim continued refining the entity and decided to do something to it. It was to be split into two halves. Those two halves turned into two different beings with two different essences. Those essences were sparks of complementary polarities— Masculine and Feminine. They complemented each other. Elohim named them “Adamah” and “Chavah”. The Arch-Angels/Ahuras were not pleased with the names. All of them were discussing and giving names that would fit these two. At last, Arch-Angel/Ahura Azrael gave them new and final names, “Adam” and “Eve”, who still gave out the same meaning as the original ones.
Everything was going pretty well, at least it seemed like that at this moment. The Arch-Angels/Ahuras were still doing their duties, the Yeladihimis were still mastering the arts of power, the Atarkamas were still training themselves harder and harder, and the two new entities— Adam and Eve- were living their best lives together in the Heavens. All of this seemed like actual peace. Yes, before this, there was an argument between the two Arch-Angels/Ahuras, Michael and Lucifer. But for now, there were no conflict anymore. There were only peaceful harmony. And all the beings were doing alright. We could even say that in the beginning when they were.
