And It was Disorder

In the beginning, Chaos was was bored, so he created heaven and the earth.

At first, the earth was without form and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

Seeing this, the Spirit of Chaos said, “Let there be light.” and there was light.

Chaos saw the light and said that it was disorder: and Chaos divided the light from the darkness.

Chaos called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Chaos said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

Chaos made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

And Chaos called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Chaos observed the water and was unsatisfied with its uniformity. Chaos said, “Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.” and it was so.

Chaos looked upon the dry land and called it Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. Chaos saw that it was disorder.

Chaos blinked, and great time passed and the land grew boring. He said, “Let the earth bring forth vibrant grass, the herbs bring forth seed, and the fruit tree bring forth fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth.” and it was so.

And the earth brought forth vibrant grass, and herbs brought forth seed after its kind, and the fruit tree brought forth fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and Chaos saw that it was disorder.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And Chaos said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.” and it was so.

And Chaos made two great lights; the greater light of the sun to rule the day, and the lesser light of the moon to rule the night.

And Chaos set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Chaos saw that it was not yet disorder.

He made lesser lights and sent them about the firmament of the heaven to glisten and give light upon the darkness of the skies. He saw this and said that it was disorder.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Chaos sneezed and millennia passed.  He saw this and craved discord. He said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.”

And Chaos created great whales, and every living creature that may move, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Chaos saw that it was disorder.

And Chaos blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.”

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

But Chaos grew accustomed to his creations and their habits and demanded more. He said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.”

And Chaos made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Chaos saw that it was disorder.

Chaos yawned and eons flew by. He gazed at earth and saw that it was dull. He said, “Let us make equine in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

So Chaos created equine in his own image, in the image of Chaos created he him; male and female created he them.

And Chaos blessed them, and Chaos said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

And Chaos said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for sustenance.”

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for sustenance: and Chaos saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very disorderly.

Chaos saw the sun and moon make their trek through the firmament of heaven and noted it was routine. He saw this and created two beings to move the orbs of light, so that they may be different.

Chaos took great care in shaping these beings, taking more pride in them than in his previous creations.

He sculpted two, and named them Celestia and Luna. Celestia was to guard his sun, and help it on its way through the heavens every morn.

Luna was to safekeep his moon, and insure its duty to traverse the vast and unending sky was fulfilled with care each eve.

So the two lived, tending the light that graced the earth each day for the rest of creation.

Chaos saw this, and said it was disorder.

With a languid stretch, Chaos watched time progress and mellow. He became tired of his creations living in harmony below and instilled a darkness inside his Keeper of the Moon that corrupted it and set the earth aflame with unrest.

To add to his amusement, Chaos forged six elements to combat the evil of the Moon Guardian.

Chaos saw this and said it was brilliant disorder.

But as Chaos’ eyes roamed the earth, he noticed something peculiar.

Harmony reigned once again, kept intact by the powers he had bestowed upon his Keeper of the Sun in order to withstand his Lunar One.

Chaos saw this and became enraged.

Chaos looked at the earth and unmade it in an instant.

And it was disorder.
