I - The Architect
In the nascent void where nothing yet existed, there was a presence - an abstract force rather than a being, known as the Architect. This force, transcending physical form and conventional understanding, was the embodiment of creation itself. It was not a conscious entity in the traditional sense but more a manifestation of the universe's will to exist, a cosmic impulse driving the creation of all things.
II - The Universe Takes Shape
From this abstract essence of creation, the universe began to take shape. Stars, galaxies, and the fundamental laws of physics emerged from the Architect's influence, forming a structured cosmos from the chaos of the void. The Architect's presence was like a brush painting on the canvas of void, where each stroke brought forth the complexities and wonders of the universe.
III - The Emergence of Chaos
However, in the midst of creation, an unforeseen consequence emerged – the birth of Chaos. Chaos was not a deliberate creation of the Architect but an intrinsic counterpart to the act of creation itself. As the Architect shaped order and structure, Chaos bubbled as a force of unpredictability, change, and potential destruction. It existed as a fundamental force, an untamed and raw energy that contrasted with the Architect’s vision of a harmonious universe. It was wild and untameable, a whirlwind of possibilities, both creative and destructive, that could not be ignored or subdued.
IV - Creation of the Primordials
To counterbalance the growing presence of Chaos and to steward the newly formed universe, the Architect's influence gave rise to the Primordials. These beings were not merely powerful entities but personifications of fundamental concepts necessary for the universe's stability and growth:
- Order: The embodiment of structure, law, and predictability.
- Death: The inevitable end that brings balance to life.
- Life: The force of growth, renewal, and vitality.
- Time: The ever-moving current that orders events from past to future.
- Eternity: The endless expanse, representing the universe's unbounded nature.
- Void: The emptiness from which creation sprang and to which it returns.
- Fate (The Creator): The embodiment of predetermined events and the inevitability of destiny.
- Destiny (Darwizzy): The potential for change, the unknown future shaped by choices and chance.
V - The Insidious Rise of Chaos
As the newly formed universe expanded under the watchful gaze of the Architect and the Primordials, a subtle shift began to take place. Chaos started to weave its influence among the Primordials. This influence was not overtly malevolent but represented the natural dichotomy of creation - where there is order, chaos follows.
VI - The Primordials' Shift in Perspective
Gradually, the Primordials, once harmonious guardians of the universe’s various aspects, began to feel the stirring of Chaos within them. It whispered of freedom, power, and the limitations imposed by the Architect’s vision. These whispers did not go unheard, especially by those like Destiny (Darwizzy), who represented the potential and the unknown. Even Fate, embodying the inevitability of destiny, found himself questioning the predetermined path laid out by the Architect.
VII - The Escalation to Conflict
As Chaos's influence deepened, it led to a growing rift between the Architect and the Primordials. The once-steadfast guardians now saw the Architect as a constraint to their true potential and the universe's full diversity. Led by Fate and spurred by Destiny, they decided to confront the Architect, igniting the First Great War.
VIII - The War and the Architect's Realization
The war was a cosmic event of unparalleled scale, reshaping the very fabric of the universe. As the conflict neared its climax, with the Primordials gaining the upper hand, the Architect came to a profound realization. It saw that its annihilation would not stop the cycle of chaos and order but would instead lead to perpetual imbalance and conflict.
IX - The Architect's Proposal to Fate
As the First Great War reached its climax, the Architect, sensing imminent defeat, sought a final audience with Fate. In this critical moment, the Architect proposed a visionary solution: its transformation into an artifact of creation and balance. This artifact, which would come to be known as the Wheel, was envisioned as a means to sustain the universe's harmony without the Architect's direct intervention. It was a tool designed to guide the evolution of the cosmos, maintaining the balance between various cosmic forces.
X - The Transformation and Birth of the Wheel
Convinced by the Architect's foresight and understanding the need for a new way to preserve cosmic equilibrium, Fate agreed to the transformation. The Architect was then reshaped into the Wheel, a powerful artifact embodying the principles of creation, order, and balance. This Wheel was to be the Architect's legacy, a means for the Primordials to guide the universe's destiny in a more harmonious way, without the need for direct control by a single omnipotent force
XI - Fate Becomes The Creator
With the creation of the Wheel, Fate assumed a new role and identity. He became known as The Creator, a steward of the cosmic balance and the guardian of the Wheel. His responsibility was profound: to oversee the Wheel's influence and ensure that the universe continued to evolve in a balanced and orderly manner. The Creator's role was not to dictate the universe's path, but to guide it, allowing for natural growth and change within the parameters set by the Wheel.
XII - The Ambition of Destiny
As the Primordials began their work to uphold the balance around the Creator and the Wheel, Destiny, influenced heavily by Chaos, harbored a growing ambition. Being the embodiment of Destiny, he was more susceptible to Chaos's seductive promise of unlimited potential and freedom. Destiny envisioned himself not just as a guardian of destiny but as its master, longing to seize the Wheel and reshape the universe as the ultimate creator.
XIII - Destiny's Fusion with Chaos
In his quest for unparalleled power, Destiny chose to merge his essence with Chaos. This fusion transformed him, magnifying his powers beyond any of the Primordials, rivaling even the Creator. With Chaos coursing through him, Destiny became a being of formidable and unpredictable force, threatening the very fabric of the balanced universe.
XIV - The Tide of Battle
As Destiny waged his rebellion, the other Primordials, despite their formidable powers, found themselves overwhelmed. Destiny, now a vessel of pure chaos, was on the cusp of total victory. The universe teetered on the edge of falling into an era of disorder and turmoil, dominated by Destiny’s chaotic whims.
XV - Fate's Decisive Action
In this dire moment, Fate, who would be known as the Creator, realized that conventional means would not suffice to stop Destiny. With the fate of the cosmos hanging in the balance, he conceived a daring plan. Utilizing his deep connection with the Wheel, Fate managed to link Destiny’s essence to this powerful artifact.
XVI - Destiny’s Downfall
With Destiny linked to the Wheel, the Creator spun it with all his might. The spin was more than a physical act; it was a manipulation of destiny itself, by influencing the Wheel, the Creator channeled its power to redefine Destiny’s fate. As the Wheel turned, it unraveled Destiny’s chaotic power, stripping him of his might and status. In a cosmic reversal, Destiny was reborn as the weakest alien in the universe, a shadow of his former self (and that’s where he got his famous name : Destiny.
XVII - The Continuing Saga
Destiny’s fall and transformation marked a pivotal chapter in the universe's history. When Destiny’s was bound to the Wheel, it inadvertently absorbed the essence of Chaos, altering its fundamental nature. The Wheel, originally designed to create and maintain order in the universe, now also wielded the unpredictable power of Chaos. This fusion meant that every act of creation by the Wheel was tinged with an element of unpredictability. While it continued to be the cosmic tool for birthing races and souls, the influence of Chaos introduced a level of spontaneity and variation previously unknown. This change led to a universe where established orders could be disrupted, giving rise to new possibilities, unexpected evolutions of life, and the formation of diverse worlds and beings. The universe, once a realm of predictable order, transformed into a vibrant tapestry of creation, teeming with potential and unforeseen outcomes.
XVIII - The Elevated Role of the Creator
In this redefined cosmos, the role of the Creator took on greater significance. Tasked with overseeing a Wheel that now embodied both order and chaos, the Creator had to navigate this complex interplay with wisdom and foresight. The Creator’s duties expanded from mere stewardship to active guidance, interpreting the Wheel’s chaotic tendencies and channeling them into constructive creation. This role required a delicate balancing act: ensuring the chaos within the Wheel did not spiral out of control, while also allowing it to bring forth the necessary change and diversity. The Creator became the mediator between stability and transformation, shaping the universe's destiny with a careful and thoughtful hand and without dictating his vision to not repeat The Architect’s mistake.
XIV - The Creator's Quest for the Perfect Universe
The Creator, having witnessed the complexities and imbalances in the original universe, embarked on an ambitious quest to craft the perfect universe — one where equilibrium was so finely tuned that every being, regardless of inherent strength or weakness, could potentially rise to prominence. This pursuit led to the creation of the multiverse, a series of universes each serving as a testing ground for achieving this ideal balance. The Creator's vision was a universe where no single race or entity dominated others, a cosmos where the supposed weakest could ascend to the highest echelons of power. Each universe in the multiverse was an experiment, a step closer to this ideal. The Creator meticulously observed which elements promoted balance and which tipped the scales towards inequality.
XX - The Tournaments: A Measure of Perfection
In each universe, the Creator established a grand tournament. This event was not merely a contest of strength but a critical measure of the universe's balance.
Victory of the Underdog: The Creator decreed that the ultimate sign of a perfect universe would be a tournament won by an individual from a race traditionally deemed the weakest. Such a victory would signify that every being, regardless of their origin or power, had a fair chance to succeed.
Observation and Adjustment: After each tournament, the Creator analyzed the outcomes, learning and adjusting the conditions in subsequent universes to edge closer to the ideal balance.
This leads to each new universe being even more complex and diversified than the previous ones.
