"Many things happened in the Beginning, but for now we will learn of the Being. As the explosion that marked the Beginning slowed, Creation began to form a Will. The Will was made manifest in the Being. It was first created in mind, then in form, as a great mind that would live in Creation the Being’s body was many, and it spread through time and space.
"The Being moved through Creation, exploring, learning, understanding and shaping. It was not the only life to be found. Even when the universe was young, many eyes looked to the sky for answers. Where the Being met them, it shared its knowledge.
"We have words now for this: empathy, telepathy, telekinesis, but these words pale before the reality of the Being.
"However something so fundamental cannot be created without defining its opposite.
"The Other was as much hate as the Being was love. It came from the outer reaches of Creation, destroying the being as it came inwards toward the Heart. For lack of a better word, the homeworld of the being. The Other was warlike where the Being was peaceful, and was unable to stand before the horrible onslaught of the Other.
"The system which held the Heart actually held sister planets, and the Being was on both. When the Other came it killed the younger sister before striking at the Heart.
"This was a mistake. The pain of the Being was so great was that it lashed out at the Other. Its blow was devastating and finial. The Being left no trace of the Other in creation.
"But this was not the end of hurt that the Being would suffer. It was mortally wounded. It hated what it had done, and itself. It did not want death, but neither did it want to continue.
"We call what happened the Sundering. The Being tore itself apart, suppressing its power, and becoming many minds in many bodies. The Being was no longer what it was, it became what they are. You many know of what remains. They are called human now."
