Disclaimer: This one does not own the characters nor story plot of Wild Arms 3. I do however own the game and believe that gives me the right to think up fanciful things for them to deal with.

A/N: Well, here comes another Wild Arms 3 fic from the ducky. This one however, is a bit more subdued than Chapapanga's rant. I know, that much of Wild Arms folklore comes from Norse mythology, but, I'll solve that problem later on in the story. Please enjoy!


From The Well of Mimir

The Origin of Filgaia

i.

In the beginning, there was only Chaos; and Chaos ruled supreme over all Nothingness, (for in the beginning there wasn't even the light of stars, only a vast void.)

After many millennia, it came to pass that Chaos became lonely, and from His heart He created Raftina, the Goddess of Love, the second ruler over Nothingness. And He crafted her beautifully, with hair more radiant than sunshine, and eyes deeper and brighter than the bluest of oceans. When Chaos looked upon Her loveliness, He fell in love with Her and She, knowing only Chaos, loved him as well.

And from their first union was born Celesdue and Stare Roe, Gods of Darkness and Light. Opposites in all. Where one was beautiful, the other was hideous, where Stare Roe was glaring and obtrusive, Celesdue was calm and withdrawn.

And Chaos said unto His first children "Over all that You see, We rule. Without Us, even Nothing would cease to exist." And They saw their Domain of Nothing and laughed into the emptiness.

ii.

As the Gods continued in their state of Nothing, two more Children from Chaos and Love were formed. Moor Gault, the God of Fire, when passions were high, and Grudiev, Goddess of Earth, when Chaos was steady. And when Chaos had seen all of His children He said unto them, "Come. Let Us make a world unto where we may live in contentment. And with the help of Moor Gault and Grudiev, they created the first Filgaia, a rocky barren world filled with death and sparse vegetation.

When Chaos looked upon this first world He became displeased and cast the first world aside, deeming it incomplete.

And He lay with Love again and begot two more children, Schturdark, the Goddess of Water, and Fengalon, God of Winds.

And Chaos, seeing now that all His children balanced one another He rose and said once again, "Let Us now create a world unto Us. Where We may stay in contentment." So Chaos gathered all his children and created the second Filgaia, a beautiful world filled with oceans, vegetation and calm winds.

At the completion of this second Filgaia, Order formed out of the remaining nothingness, becoming a non-being to combat chaos. For if left alone, this second Filgaia would have soon been destroyed by the Chaos that had created it.

And as he looked upon the world Chaos spoke unto the others saying "This is the new world which We have created and We will reside over." And so the Gods and Goddesses descended upon the second Filgaia and took pleasure from it.

iii.

The Gods continued in their leisure, wanting for nothing, the planet slowly being used up.

And when noticed, the Gods feared it, wishing to keep their new world. So Fengalon said unto the others, "Let Us create creatures unto this world to care for it so that it may not perish." The idea was well received amongst the Others, a solution to their fears. However, beings created by Them could not live as They in nothingness, they needed to move forward, so Chaos plucked from his left eye Dan Dairam, God of Time.

And Dan Dairam stretched forth his hand, and commanded time to move forward, causing life to begin.

And the Gods created first the animals of the land, then the sea, then the air. After these were completed, They began on their greatest creation, and taking the dirt from the ground, They created the first Elws; instilling within them the knowledge of the world and its care.

The Elws took care of the planet and the Gods were delighted at their success, falling into passivity, spending their days in a haze. Chaos saw the other Gods and was displeased at their leisure, and out of this displeasure He created man and woman, the first humans of Filgaia, creatures of conflict within themselves; and at their completion He was pleased at the dissonance created by the humans. When the other Gods saw this new creation of Chaos, They were angered, but in fear of Chaos's great power They remained silent. Time passed and the Gods soon grew fond of these creations of Chaos and all displeasure was forgotten.

A/N So how'd you like it? Did you hate it? Could it be improved upon? If so, tell me! I'm working on the second part as we speak. I'll probably come back later and work on it...because well...I'm not entirely pleased with it. but anyway, hope you enjoyed it.

P.S. I know it's short, but the second one will be longer. I promise

P.P.S. Remember to review! because this ducky likes those sort of things and they keep her going.
