Fallen: In The Beginning
an excerpt

In the beginning there was the Creator, the darkness and an idea. The Creator wandered the darkness in His eternal existence and thought on his idea and saw that it was good. Without pause, the Creator walked and brought all things around him into existence. Where there had been void now there was light and sound. Where the Creator had tread eternity for eternity, now there was a path that he walked along. There was a shape to the shapeless that would change at a word. Now that there was something there needed to be something to fill it.

It was an empty gift for no one, so the Creator made the Second. The Second was to be the Creator’s voice. She would exist to watch and write and instruct those who would come after, and there were so many more to come. The Second walked the gift with the Creator and listened to his plan as it was revealed. She heard about the time before and the time that was to come. She listened to the Creator in rapt attention while the design of all was explained to her. No questions were necessary as all was revealed to her about his plan for Creation. In time, a time that could not be measured, all of Creation was revealed and The Second recorded the will of the Creator. When all was silent again, they walked in each other’s company through the gift, and for a time even into the edges of the Wastes that were the unused spaces. When the Creator and The Second returned to the gift from the edges of the wastes, there were six who waited at The Gate of Creation. The Third approached the returning Creator and his Voice and uttered a question.

“Lord, what is our purpose?”

The Creator gazed upon his Six and after a time laid his hand on the shoulder of The Second and she began to speak.

“I am the Second, the Voice of the Creator. You are the Six to come after and give form to the Plan. You exist to carry out the Will of the Creator and from his gift create all that is and all that ever will be. I have been given the Will in my time with the Creator and I will, in turn, bestow his Will unto you Six. With the knowledge of the Will you gain through myself, you will each, in your appointed rolls, assist in the plan of Creation.”

The Third spoke again, “What are our rolls Second?”

“The Six will be split into two triads,” The Second said. “The Third shall lead The Fourth and The Fourth shall lead The Fifth. The Sixth will lead The Seventh and The Seventh will lead The Eighth. There are to be two parts to the Creators plan of Creation. Third, your Triad will carry out the first part of Creation. You three will be the builders of all things. You will fashion the Will of the Creator into being and make the word into a physical thing.” With this, The Second fell silent.
