A "creation" story I made up a while ago.
-To everyone who believes there's something out there greater than we can ever imagine.
Of Everything and Time
A fanfiction by Apathy Personified
Everything has a story . . .
When everything was new and young and thereby innocent, Light and Darkness were created. They too were new and young and thereby innocent, thus wasted no time in becoming fast friends. They played and tussled just as all young friends do. When everything was new and young and thereby innocent, Light and Darkness were best friends.
However, later, when everything was beginning to learn and notice and thereby grow, Darkness and Light began to notice each other.
Darkness took notice of how Light melded well with morning, how the sun seemed to warm them, and how the other would raise their head to the sky as if taking everything in. And Darkness was jealous.
Light also began to take notice. Light took notice of how Darkness matched perfectly with the night, how the moon appeared to cool them, and how the other would lower their head to the earth as if calmed immensely. And Light was jealous.
When everything was beginning to learn and notice and thereby grow, Darkness and Light were secretly jealous of each other.
It was then that Time, their parent, began to take notice. Time had woven the two creatures from the purest elements of their namesake, hoping they would lead everything that was new and young and thereby innocent to fruition and help it thrive. But as Light and Darkness' jealousy warped into unadulterated hatred, Time saw they could no longer step forward to realize the wish.
When everything was wizened and acquiring knowledge and thereby at its prime, Light and Darkness were fighting. They wounded each other heavily, neither able to finish the other when the chance arose. Their fight reflected on the world, the sights of their battles tainting the earth and the sky.
Save their current sight, they had managed to taint everything around them – everything they had been entrusted to protect. It was then Time saw it fit to intervene, less everything was lost to their baseless hatred.
Time forced the two creatures into a heavy sleep. In this slumber, they were sent into the purest form of the other's element from which they were created. Light into darkness, Darkness into light.
When everything is damaged and tainted and thereby current, the Children of Time are sleeping. And everything is quietly, patiently awaiting their return.
Just a little something to get my mind prepped for competition.
