Void and Empty

No one can define life better than me. Why you may ask?

Well for the sole indubitable reason that I created it myself. I was nothing but raw energy and matter, dust as you may call it, a billowing cloud of blazing dust surrounded by nothingness. I believe it was this void that surrounded me, that brought me to senses and invoked within me a conscience.

A conscience, that had been alone in a never ending void for far too long and didn't want to be solitary any more. I brought forth from my core, Gaea, the foundation of the gods, titans and the first mortal beings; all representing me in more than one way.

I created Nyx out of my shroud of shadows, she was meant to be the harbinger of timely darkness over the lights that I created. Tartarus was a representation of my wrath and pain, a timeless being forever in unrest.

First of my progeny but not the last, I left them to their own devices to create a universe I saw fit. To billions of lights I gave life and forgot about several of them or at least about most that I had created. It seemed for a while that this was the sole reason for my existence, the creation of new life from empty chaos.

Ironic isn't it? From Empty Chaos arose the lights of life, a conscience in each from emptiness that no mortal-immortal dare breach.

And as I sat here, billions of lights away from the first of my children, I could already sense the growing unrest. I could feel her anger, her suffering; something wasn't right. Her sheer power astounded me. Even though I had created her in the image of what I knew life to be, I had never realised the power that I had imparted to her on her creation and that was only one of the reasons I didn't know the extent of her powers. For long I had speculated that she could hide her powers from me, but I didn't know it for fact.

That was one reason that I had created Nyx with a calm mind, ever since Gaea's I have been for the lack of a better term at Peace. Nyx and Hemaera, Night and Day were my interpretations of time and division; however creating Chronos was equally essential, there was someone needed to control time as well after all.

After their creation I felt content with my being, but not so much so that I gave up creation. I continued on with it and the more I created the more content I felt.

But now, at this very moment, the wave of unrest across the 'verse unsettles me. The pulse of power at the centre of my domain makes me uneasy. However my anxiety is not enough to overpower my curiosity, No, it surely isn't.

I believe it's time to visit my eldest child or should I say children, which hardly sound appropriate. No matter, I shall see, if what I have come to believe is true or am I just making a mountain of a mole hill. "We shall see", I say in a whisper, I spread my hands or are they wings?

Yes, wings, dark shadows surround my pristine white marble body covering it in shades of night and darkness emitting rays of light, twinkling is what I believe the mortals refer to it as. As darkness looms itself around me, I call upon the light of the nearest stars, their strength should be enough to propel me from this system and across the universe to Gaea.

I smile to myself; it has been a long time in coming, our reunion. If Gaea turns out to be a threat, I will destroy her along with everything else that may prove to be a threat. She might even prove to be a challenge, something to look forward to I believe, and with that last thought I can barely control my laugh anymore...

...A dark laughter echoes across the now silent system. With a last pull on the might of the energy of the shining stars, A goliath figure of all darkness emblazoned with twinkling rays of light spreads its angelic wings and in a blinding flash of light and energy disappears into the ever expanding oblivion leaving behind nothing but a swirling, shimmering cloud of dust and colossal destruction.
