The book of chaos.

This is prelude number 1 of 4 to the real story.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

In the beginning there was an endless mass of energy. Days could last a million years life would be born one day and die the next. Nothing could hold so long as the essence of chaos held together. But eventually a child appeared. This unnamed child did not survive in memory but managed to pierce the mass and allowed life to be sustained using three items the liquids of the essence, the bones, and the skin. What happened to this child is unsure but what happened next is well known. The liquids took on a darkness known as night. The bones formed a massive and horrifying pit known as the Tartarean pit. The skin took on the form of what we now know as the earth. They then developed a will of their own. Which in turn lead to pure emotions and that led to coherent thought. They than named themselves. The night called herself Nyx. The pit didn't deviate much from his forms name and so became known as Tartarus, and the earth called herself Gaea. Now each had an advantage over the other. Tartarus was simple the most observant of the universe and therefore the wisest of the way of things. Nyx had skill like no other and was often considered the only being who never made mistakes in her creations. Gaea was often considered the most powerful of them. But they grew lonely. So they used the essence remaining to make a slightly less divine group of beings as the essence became less pure the more lives it left from its first births. But the first generation gave the world more. But it took time so inadvertently created Chronos or time whose creation was inevitable, thus leading to the creation of Ananke the embodiment of inevitability, compulsion, and necessity and they took each other as consorts. Meanwhile Nyx started with a practice and created a sister, the daylight or Hemera, seeing her success Nyx made herself a consort who was the resulting darkness and shadows caused by Nyx and Hemera thus Erebus took shape. Gaea meanwhile bonded with two groups of beings making mountins for the Ourea to embody, as she created two potential consort: Pontus the seas and Ouranos the skies. Upon Pontus she created land masses whom were controlled by the Nesoi. When she could not chose between the two they found a way to appear in other forms when they discovered the need for air Aether was born. Gaea chose Ouranos not realizing her advantage of being more powerful had made her creations equal to her and far to powerful for their own good for that power was not tempered. But for Pontus Gaea created a consort named Thalassa with whom Pontus fathered all sea life. Tartarus seeing the threat appearing said nothing but opposed this needless creation by not creating anyone. Nyx and Erebus gave birth to many beings the most famous of which was known a Charaon the ferryman of the afterlife. The most feared named Thanatos the ever looming specter of death, and the most powerful of which were the Moroi three powerful daughters who learned to control the universe by weaving the essence of chaos into thread. Working with Chronos and Ananke to attempt to create mortal lifeforms the youngest allowed them to be born, she was named Clotho, the second born Lachesis measured the length of many things including the rules of the divine ones, the eldest and most terrifying being Atropos for she cut the threads thus ending the times of the things the threads applied to for one day even the mightiest of beings will fall. Gaea and Ouranos attempted to create, the first ones were known as the Hekatonkheires or hundred handers. They horrified Ouranos and though Gaea calmed him he refused to take them as his children. The same thing happened with their childrend the elder Cyclopes. Than the Titans were born. The would have been perfect if they weren't to similar to Chronos and Ananke's mortal kind. Overcome with frustration Ouranos sealed his children within Tartarus's namesake pit. Gaea was heart broken so she looked for ways to free her children and consulted Erebus to help hide the escape of one of them. She asked Pontus to provide a trail to freedom. Than she convinced Chronos to the most powerful of her children the titans to be his representative among the new rulers when the time came. But she still had no tool for her child, a perfect way to defeat a being who would never die, so Thanatos showed her his tool for taking beings to meet their end. A simple Scythe. With the fates help she brought forth a mighty weapon from the fabric of Chaos able to handle the power of time. She then found her youngest child: Kronos who had always proved strongest. So wielding the Scythe Kronos found his way to the surface and under the cover of darkness struck at Ouranos. But the skies would not be defeated so easily. He battered Kronos with mighty winds and captured him in clouds. As Kronos struggled he dropped his scythe but the place it landed was weakened enough to provide an opening for his titan siblings to come out. Not wanting the dead to escape as water flooded in to fill the crater, Thanatos summoned two great doors to seal the dead in. The greatest of the titans launched their attack. With Hyperion freeing Kronos from his fathers clutches with fire. Iapetus made winds retreat from their mighty gale. With only one stream of them still remaining forever intact. Coeus launched into mentally harming their father to distract him while Crius tended to Kronos. As the titans worked in unison Oceanus rose from the water with Pontus's aid with him and continued to barrage Ouranos but to no avail. He was still stronger. Than Kronos rose to his feet and picked up his scythe wielding the power Chronos had given him he slowed time around his father allowing his brothers to confine Ouranos bit by bit from which he managed to bend the areas bit by bit almost breaking free. Knowing time was short Kronos stuck quick and strong, slicing his father into millions of pieces. They had won as the Moroi had foretold to Chronos convincing the personification to endorse Kronos in the first place. They than approached the titans with a warning, Kronos's very children would dethrone them, for as Kronos looked on in fear to the future the fates spoke of. For the Moroi knew all things must come to an end.
