Chapter One: Creation
789 Words
A long time ago, when the universe was young, there lived an almighty being, his name was Zodian. He ruled over the universe, overlooking all until he grew tired of being alone. He had a wonderful design in his head, and one day he decided to make the elegant, intricate idea in his mind a reality.
He created the earth, a land covered in water, dirt, and grass. He spent several days shaping the earth, giving it different areas of land and water, all unique in their own way. He created six different areas.
Frodene was a cold, some parts of it frozen with mountains that loomed there and the closer they were to the sky the colder it became.
Brulent was a place of heat, it had hills filled with sand, every hundred miles would be a small oasis of water and a few trees.
Tropia was a wet, humid jungle, the trees sweat the humid was so intense, and the constant rainfall made it worse.
Preatain was fields upon fields of grass and wildflowers, the weather there changing every few months, hot, cold, warm and just right.
Irenaleda was a place of wonderful grassy hills, that looked like they were rolling, the weather cool but not freezing, with streams and lakes.
Edenale was what can only be viewed as paradise, perfect weather, never to cold or too hot, with trees of all kinds, a mountain, small hills covered in grass and flowers. A large lake and all kinds of vegetation. It lay in the middle of all the surrounding lands.
In the middle of Edenale, he created his marble palace. It was majestic, the halls, floors and walls made of a special marble material all different colors.
When he finished his palace, he went out and created his garden, flowers of every kind, trees, bushes, it was like an exotic wonderland of fragrance and beauty. He made a platform in the middle and a comfortable chaise to relax in and watch as the sun and moon passed by slowly. He spent many days laying on his chaise, watching the days go by. No one really knows how long he laid there.
Still, with all the beautiful things around him he had no one to share it with.
In his mind, he imagined a world thriving with life, countless creatures to enjoy the world he had made. So, he began creating the animals, lions, tigers, bears, bunnies, fish, whales, snakes, turtles and so many others. He watched
as the animals formed their own groups and had families after some time had passed.
He watched as the seas filled with creatures, and he was intrigued at how different kinds of animals would journey to other parts of the world. They all had their own way of living, the lions lived in groups, whereas other feline creatures lived alone. He was fascinated with his creations. They were all unique in their own way.
Zodian spent many years walking around the earth he had created watching and learning how the different animal societies worked with each other. He saw that some were prey and others were hunters. It intrigued him, but there was one creation he favored above all others.
The powerful dragons, he had created two a male and female. The male was dark in color, black as coal with bright silver eyes his name Shadowlore. The female was the opposite, pure white with dark black eyes she was given the name Pureana. One of Zodian's favorite things was to climb on the back of Shadowlore and take flight through the skies, with Pureana flying close by.
He would smile as the wind blew through his long black hair, his bare muscular, tan skin shining in the sun. His dark eyes glimmering when the light hit them. He would fly on Shadowlore over the ocean, over the forests and jungles. Always enjoying the feeling of being free.
He enjoyed years and years of watching the earth pass with time, yet no matter how he enjoyed the growth and evolution of his animals it was no longer enough. He had friends in Shadowlore and Pureana, but they were not his equal nor close to it.
Zodian knew what he needed, creatures with intelligence like his. A mind that could create and care for the earth as he had. Someone or others who could care for his creations, who could expand on his creations. He sat in thought for a long time, it took him one hundred years to finally decide what he would do.
It was this decision that led him to make another creation, the greatest creations of all.
The Gods and Goddesses who would continue the work he started.
