Creatio Autem Historia


At first there was darkness, the whole cast of the empty, pitched void was dark, cold, and lifeless. The darkness that filled the void was Tenebris, a man who let no form of matter but himself cover this void, until one day Tenebris grew weary of the loneliness in the vast space of himself. In his plains there was an absence of light, he yearned to feel warmth and too see upon the darkness within him. Out of sorrow he torn into his stomach, ripping the fine silk felt flesh. Unleashing the pit of anger pouring from his wounds, was a beautiful women, pure and warm. She called herself Lux, she was a glowing ball of light, with a face rapidly changing, never letting anyone know her true form. Upon a glance she saw Tenebris, who glared upon her, finding her to be the most wonderful thing that’s ever filled this void. Though smitten with lust, jealousy filled upon his nonexisting heart. Lux saw Tenebris as a beauty of sorrow, feeling pity within her blazing heart, she drew forth Tenebris icy chill allowing heat to reach his energy, thus creating a new form of life. 

Their love child was called Caeli, a rich and pure creation made of substances from both of her parents hearts. The substance was hot and cold, ice and fire, she was particles of matter. She was light as a feather, and soft as a cloud. Tenebris was furious with Lux after creating this disgusting, horrid being from his powerful matter. As Caeli floated around her mother, Tenebris seeked to be the only creation in this void again. 

His gastly, sunken eyes watched upon Caeli, as Lux took slumber, her light fading, showing a milky orb of matter, Tenebris lunged towards Lux. He wrapped himself around her sleeping body, allowing her to never awake again. Caeli was afraid, with no light to guide her she wandered in the vast void of Tenebris, as Caeli grew weak from the coldness within the void, she harden to stone.

 Caeli cried her mother’s name as she slowly began to solidify, awaking Lux. As Lux opened her eyes she torn Tenebris skin apart, trying to rescue Caeli, melting his flesh in the process. Once she reached her daughter, she wept to see the harden stone of her own child. Tenebris tried to flee, but seeing his own flesh within the stone he ran back. He stood beside Lux, seeing her face for the first time. He fell in love with her, she was nothing more than a simple women with her blinding beauty, he never truly seen past his lust for her. He touched her warm skin, feeling his heart thaw within him. The jealousy that he let his mind have for Lux was destroying him. He wept with her, seeing his own blood and flesh in front of him. He killed his own offspring, more important he killed Lux’s happiness. Lux was truly the love his void he needed, without Caeli, Lux would die from sorrow. He could not fill her heart because he was a product of this pain. Sacrificing himself he shredded his chest, and reached into his rigged ribs, shattering them, and tore out his lifeful heart. He told Lux to cry upon Caeli, she did so and covered Caeli in a layer of water. Tenebris took his heart and grind it into pieces, creating dirt from the ashes of his heart. Thus creating land upon Caeli’s water covered corpse. From the left overs of Tenebris body Lux used his brain to power Caeli’s body, therefore Caeli was reborn as Terra. Lux then spun Terra around her, creating a never ending loop around Lux so she would never harden again. Tenebris spirit surrounded Terra and Lux, shielding them with a cloak of darkness to protect the ones he loved. 

As Terra aged she yearned for life upon her, from her heart below the water, came creatures who could breath Terra’s water. These creatures were animals with moist skin and slits in their flesh to take in air from Terra’s organism’s she called plants, created when her father died to remind her mother of how her father’s love was always growing for her. One day she felt empty in the lands on her, as only still plant grew on this surface. She told the creatures beneath the water to come ashore, if they could grow lungs within themselves, she would plenish them with never ending fruits and flesh water to thirst upon. Only few animals dared to come ashore, growing legs as they climbed onto the hard ground. Lungs replaced the slits in their side, allowing them to breath this flesh, crisp air surrounding them. As they feasted the void grew dark, Lux was at rest, allowing Tenebris to see his beautiful daughter and her thriving children. As he cried, ashes dripped from his eyes, white and icy, covering the ground in a blanket of frozen water. 

When Lux awoke from her slumber, she melted away the ashes on Terra, warming her daughter and the life upon her. Terra felt lonely still with the 4 legged animals upon her, she wanted a being who could walk up right, and talk to her when she was alone from her mother Lux. She created a being that she called woman, this woman was called Feminae. This creature was called a human, with dark skin, to protect her from Lux’s heat, she was sweet to all the animals and loved Terra so much she would sing to her all day.

 One day she could no longer sing, she tried to cry to Terra for help, but made no sound. Feminae wept on her mother’s face, Terra begged for Feminae to speak again, but nothing happened. She knew she could not hold Feminae and make her feel okay once more. Thus she created another human, a man, called Vir. This man could hear Feminae’s cries, and comforted her as once her mother Terra did. As they grew, and their heart’s connected, from this love was a child, the mother would have to touch her husband’s chest and let their heart’s connect and create a new being of life. 

Years later there is now a village of the ancestors of Feminae and Vir’s child, Peur, who fell in love with a woman called Puella. This woman was a piece of Peur that was cut off to make a partner for him to create life with. Once a child is born you cut off a piece of their flesh, creating a true partner for them to reproduce with. Once a child of Terra died, their matter formed into burning sparks of fire and shot into Tenebris. The children’s particles speckled Tenebris skin and showed light when Lux was asleep.
