the gods of Ile


   In the beginning there was nothing, a black void in which dwell-ed not what we would consider living creatures for they had no true mass, no true presence, but they felt and they thought so to their knowledge they were true, they were real. They always knew of the other but not that it was similar to them for they were not one. Until one found itself, it’s truth, what it was and what it lorded for it was not just thought it was something far greater. It was Space, it gave shape, it gave presence, so it became he and the other became she. With the form given to her she then found herself, what it is she lorded over, the linear existence of the universe, for she was Time. The space in witch they existed was not space created by the being of shape, the place in which they were was not sentient, it was not conscious, but it was “alive” and became know as Chaos, for its was space that existed before space.


   After many thousands of years Time and Space became very close, and new things were felt between the two, when before there was only a need for knowledge, now they felt something new, something different, a want to create. And so was born two, the children of the beginning, Life, and Power. The love between these 4 was great, as parents to there children, as children to there parents, as sibling to sibling, and as lovers. So a place was created by them, so as to share their love. This place, this world, that they created, was given the name Ile. Space built it, Time aloud it to continue, Life gave it beings, and Power gave them a mind, gave them thought, and gave them love.


   This great gift from the gods that was given to the beings of Ile may have also been their greatest curse for, though it was not intended, love loss creates grief, grief creates anger, anger creates pain, and pain causes hate. Hate is the most devastating of emotions, and became the trigger point for much strife throughout all of Ile, this strife led to prejudice and separation, and after all the negativity's that follow, it ends in war. Killing, an unnatural end, these things the gods had not before encountered, and were therefore unprepared to discover. The gods were enraged by the continuous wars that plagued Ile in following times. So Space decided that this world was unworthy of all the happiness that the gods tried to give them, for they turned it into pain and death, and against the will of the rest, Space began the end of Ile.


   The slow removal from existence, that Space chose as punishment, was torturous to the beings and creations of their existence, and so his children, Life and Power, whether it was adolescent rebellion or if it was truly that they saw more in the creatures of Ile. They gave themselves to stop there father’s rage, to protect their beloved creatures of Ile, and to save their father from the very same devastation that brought him to wish to destroy. Life gave himself, gave the very last of his essence to create a creature, the last new creature, a creature with the longevity to challenge his father’s. Power did the same to give these creatures the ability to hold back the barriers of destruction. These creatures, these dragons, were the last of their children and Time could not live knowing that her greatest love wished to destroy the last of their children. Thus time aloud these creatures to transcend the laws she set down for a linear existence. no new dragons could be born, but when a dragon died, The dragon could be reborn from the coming together of two dragons.


   Before long Space could finally see through the veil of rage that he had been blinded by, his entire family was trying to tell him that what he was doing was exactly the same as what he was trying to stop. He could not blame the residence of Ile for what they were doing, for he was at just as much fault, but that did not change the fact that those who reside in Ile had betrayed the purpose of it, and therefore the the barriers would stay until Ile was proven worthy of the gods, of the final two and the beginning two, the barriers would stay until a hundred years of Time was across all of the Space of Ile. This is how Ile stands now barriers on all sides waiting for the time when everyone can put aside there differences and stand for a hundred years without strife. Until that time comes Ile will remain under the ever present oppression of the curse of the gods.
