Age of Darkness Part One

The Prologue

         Everything has a center. Every truth. Every untruth. Every universe. Every empty space. As the center expands new kinds of existences are brought into existence. Then that new existence creates another, and a ripple effect explodes across the planes around the center making it bigger than it was at the start. Giving it more definition and divination spreading it further and further along. It spreads so far that none would believe that it could ever possibly stop spreading. They would say it could never reach its’ peak. However, everything has an unraveling. Every truth. Every untruth. Every universe….

Destiny opens his eyes as he brings his recurring thoughts to a close. He rubs his hands along the smooth surface of his solid gold throne. It had seemed like only yesterday that he’d carved it out of matter after he watched the universe being created. How promising it seemed, and how everything seemed to fit together so perfectly.

 He was sent to this post to ensure that everything would survive until the Great One returned. However nothing had gone according to plan. There was one mistake that had not been accounted for, humankind. No matter how hard he tried he could not get them to see the importance of the big picture, they just kept destroying every good thing. The Great One had made it perfectly clear that everything was to have free will and a choice. Destiny wondered if the Great One had known that in the end no one would make the right choice. Destiny furrowed his eyebrows and tightened his grip on the throne. Not one person. He had one last chance to help them make it right. One chance to save everything that had been entrusted to him.

“Terra!” Destiny instantly bristled as he always did when he felt the presence of another being near coming near. He could hear the sound of footsteps edging nearer and nearer to him. He turned to see the epitome of earthly creation. Her brown hair, beige skin, and black eyes always gave him a sense warmth and comfort as if he were at home in his mother’s bosom. Her sharp features changed from a blank expression to a small grin. Destiny sensed that she’d read his thoughts. He recalled that she never really could keep to herself.

          “What is it that you have need of Master?” She curtsied and bowed her head so that Destiny could no longer see her expression. He stood up.

          “It is time.” He clenched his left fist. When he looked back at her she was staring at him, the smile no longer on her face. Her expression is now grim.

          “It cannot be. There must be some kind of mistake. It has only just started!” He held his right hand up to silence her. It pained him to do so, but this was no time for either of them to lose their composure.

          “There is a way to save them before they wipe out everything. I want you to give them something.” He watched a little hope appeared on her face. He hated that it had to come to this. He did not want to cause any harm then necessary. The thing he hated most of all was how fast the new found hope that appeared on Terra’s would disappear. It was its destiny.

          “I need you to give them something. I also need you to make sure that it lives to a mature age. Nothing must be allowed to harm it.” Terra stared at him for a short moment before asking the question that he had known she would eventually ask.

          “What exactly are you asking me to give them?” Destiny opened his left hand that he had left clenched for so long. He watched as the hope on her face faded away as he knew it would.

          

     “I want you to give them darkness.”
