And So It Begins...
When the universe was nothing but a formless void, they existed.
When molecules began forming, they pulled the atoms together.
Before stars could shine, they spun the core.
They created the "Big Bang."
They were "in the beginning…"
They covered the planet with water.
They created the sky.
They separated water and watched land emerge.
They made the plants and animals.
They formed the first humans.
For millions of years, they lay dormant, waiting for the time when they were needed yet again.
The time has come.
They carry the power of the universe in a single touch, and now, an army of them stand on a single, snow-covered mountaintop, awaiting the sign for the end of days.
They knew their mission. They knew how to accomplish it, their leader given the battle plan: To the south lay the destined; to the north, the harbinger; to the west, a re-emerging power; to the east, destiny patiently awaited the arrival of her Sovereigns.
"They'll fight us," one of them said.
"They fear it," another continued.
"They'll protect him," still a third commented.
"No matter," the leader spoke up. "He is the key. It must be done."
