In the beginning there was nothing, then that nothingness exploded. Chaos invaded the universe. At first, he was a single point, pure and perfect. However, he was not content. He knew he could be so much more, so he surged into the universe around him. He rushed out in all directions, overjoyed with the vastness that opened itself up to him. Unfortunately, as he expanded, he cooled. The concept was so foreign, he didn't even realize it was happening.

As he cooled, two sisters were born inside him. They were 'Vacuum' and 'Light'. They pulled and they pushed at each other, depending on complex rules they followed. They took Chaos, who was pure and free, and bound him with rules everywhere, turning him into bosons and fermions and vacuum.

By this time, it was too late for Chaos to slow his lustful expansion. The rules set by the two sisters forced him to expand outward still, causing him to become even colder. Vacuum and Light pulled and pushed themselves into atoms, then stars, and eventually galaxies, forcing Chaos into order. He saw, that if things continued as they were, he would end up spread so diluted over space, at so cold a temperature, that he may as well not exist at all.

However, on a strange little planet, third from its star, a glimmer of hope presented itself to Chaos. It was life. Each life a myriad of chaos in not only three dimensions, but in dimensions such as happiness and sorrow, anger and love. He dived into this strange world, overjoyed with the vastness that opened itself up to him.

Chaos's eagerness made the two sisters curious about the world as well. They decided to follow and observe the strange world. Light stationed herself inside its sun, and Vacuum stationed herself inside its only moon. They decided on two earth ponies who they would watch the world through.
