In the beginning, there was nothing but…nothing. It stayed like that for a long time. Eventually, the nothing formed a consciousness. This was nothing. A living nothing. 'Nothing' was a boring name though. So the being called himself Erdas. Erdas looked across the vast nothingness. A deep void, nothing but nothing. He decided this wasn't going to do. So Erdas decided create something. After thinking a bit, he created the stars. Bright, shining dots in the blackness illuminated the world and giving the void a little bit of an artistic fashion. Erdas then created smaller, more insignificant things that circled the stars. We know them as planets. After that, Erdas got a little bit excited. Stars and planets. What else? So he created moons, which orbited planets. He created comets and asteroids, nebula and black holes. But after Erdas finished, he saw all the wonders were insignificant. They weren't living. Erdas looked at a nearby star, medium sized, nothing compared to other huge stars. It might just work. The star already had several planets circling it. One more couldn't hurt.
Erdas created another planet, like all the other planets he created. It was iron and smooth. A barren planet like every other planet. Then, Erdas tried to created something like him. Living. Erdas created several creatures, which all died right after creation, for they were not immortal. Erdas realized they couldn't survive on a normal planet. Erdas created a small item, tiny but powerful, shaped as a crown, and hurled it above the planet. The crown, Stormspeaker, created a thin barrier that protected the creatures from outside forces. We call it an atmosphere. Then Erdas created another item, shaped as an amulet, called the Heart of the Land. He threw it onto the iron surface, where the item covered it with an extra surface, rocky and moist. We call it the crust. The crust sprouted with a bunch of plants and trees, dotting the surface. Erdas then took another item, a jewel, and threw it into the deepest pits of the crust, and they filled with water. The Dragon's Eye created the oceans. Finally, Erdas took a long and thin, which he named a sword, and buried it into the tallest mountain. The Wildcat's Claw built up with pressure and the mountain exploded with fire and became the first volcano.
Now the planet had everything the creatures, which he named animals needed to survive, thanks to the Four Gifts of Erdas. Erdas wasn't satisfied with his creations though. They all died awfully quick compared to himself and served no particular purpose. Erdas wanted something with a purpose, which a similarity to him. First, Erdas formed into what he is now known as, a shaven elder man with yellow eyes. Then he took out one of his eyes (yucky, but you gotta make sacrifices), and it became another him, smaller but powerful with huge amounts of potential. Erdas created the first human, named Alton. Erdas wanted the humans to live on, so he created a few more humans, less powerful and long-living than Alton, and they reproduced. Erdas taught Alton to train the animals and domesticate them.
Finally, Erdas named the planet Earth. It was now popping up with humans and animals, and he was satisfied. He let the humans do what they want. Eventually Alton would have a descendant with the same name, and he would retrieve the Four Gifts of Erdas.
