In the vast void of space stood one small light.
The light had no form but had many friends.
Four brighter and bigger lights.
They were like a happy family.
Normally they were together, however the small light had run away.
They did something bad and didn't want to get scolded.
You see, the small light had intervened with their big sister's world and brought danger to the brittle humans.
Although it wasn't their idea nor intention, they knew that they were at fault, so they ran away to a distant corner of the universe.
They thought 'is she mad at me'? 'what will my brothers think'?
Their siblings had already created their world.
The first born, he created earth. A beautiful world made with incredible detail and rules.
Their big sister followed suit, creating a nearly identical world. She was very systematic and didn't want to change much.
It was the third light that started to innovate. Creating a world with magic and mystical creatures. Adding new rules to the world and creating different kinds of sentient species.
Since then only one more world was created by their big brother.
A world made for fighting. With terrifying creatures that constantly fought to become the strongest
Eventually the small light was approached by their big brother who had an idea.
"Let's see what happens if my creatures fought sister's creatures. It'll be fun!"
And so the small light sneakily summoned some creatures into their sister's world.
Her reaction was not what the small light expected, so they ran away.
They didn't blame their big brother... to be honest, the small light also wanted a world to play around in.
A place of their own that they could use.
And, in the end, they were still the one who sent those monsters
Within this empty space they could not feel up nor down, front from back.
There weren't even stars anywhere.
It was lonely. So to not be so lonely the small light decided to create a small beside it.
And like that, two stars filled the void.
The small light looked at the star and felt pity.
'I'm sorry that you won't grow, that you can't become something special.'
They apologized to their creation.
'So, I'll give you friends.'
The light had heard of something called 'art' in their siblings' world's.
Within that there was always a canvas and tool to fill that canvas.
And like that, the small light started creating 'art'.
They created many friends that they gave to the star. Eventually creating a constellation.
'Together, you'll be called Saisho.'
The first creation of the small light. The first constellation, comprised of seven stars of a new world.
It didn't have a proper form but the small light still felt satisfied. But doubt crept up.
'Still, I haven't even begun creating my planet.'
There was only one rule that you absolutely needed to follow when creating a world and planet.
Nothing can come from nothing.
Or in other words, the law of causality had to exist.
'Matter' exists because of god, dirt is composed of atoms, atoms must be able to create elements and elements must be able to create dirt, etc..
Even if that 'matter' was something other than atoms.
'Why am I wasting time and creating stars?'
Despite the fact that their brothers had already created an empty planet by their age.
All the small light had was seven pitiful stars, that was their world right now.
'Should I ask the eldest?'
The first light.
'No, I shouldn-
*Scrrr!*
Like transcendent metal being cut through, a tear in space started revealing itself along with all of the world's colours leaking out, the small light's world was being invaded!
'Ah! St-
Stop?
What right did they have to say that? Why did they even care? All this world consisted of was just seven stars. They could simply run away to avoid getting scolded.
'Still...'
The small light hesitated, was it worth standing their ground for merely seven stars? Why were they hesitating? Why didn't they abandon the newly created constellation?
'I don't know...'
Now, the tear in space was big enough to consume the small light, and out stepped another light.
With the form of a human, he 'approached' the small light.
["How's it going?"]
The first light, the creator of a planet named earth.
'....'
The small light didn't move and didn't look at the first light.
'Sorry.'
They apologized.
'I'm sorry that I placed monsters in sister's world.'
They apologized for ruining their sister's world.
["Thank you for apologizing. Oh? Did you make those?"]
The first light 'pointed' at the seven stars that seemed dim in his light.
'Yeah... I know it's not much, but I'll ma-'
["Woww, you're already making stars?]
'What?'
The first light was 'smiling' and 'looked' at the stars the small light had created. He seemed genuinely intrigued.
'It's nothing special... just a few stars.'
The first light didn't respond and 'looked' at the small light.
["What did you name it?"]
'Huh? Weren't you here to scold me?'
The first light 'shook' their 'head'.
["This is a constellation, right? What did you name it?"]
'S-S-Saisho.'
Despite being nervous and confused, the small light answered.
The first light's 'smile' deepened as it 'caressed' the constellation.
["Saisho... that's a great name. My first constellation was named Premier."]
'What? You as well?'
["Your sister called hers Erste and my younger brother called his Së Pari. Even your bigger brother named his something similar."]
The small light was stunned.
Despite being so different they were similar.
Their 'first' constellation had similar names.
No, maybe they all started similarly but eventually changed.
["You'll be fine. Just continue moving forward and you'll reach a point in time where you can laugh at yourself."]
Although the small light didn't fully understand, it still understood something.
'I'm not getting scolded? Isn't sister mad?'
["Hmm? Right, our sister figured something out and seems quite passionate about creating a way to defend her creations."]
The small light was stunned.
'Didn't I ruin her world?'
["Did you ever intend to ruin her world?"]
The first light 'grinned' as if he already knew the answer.
'No....'
["Then it's alright. Maybe this was something like a blessing in disguise?"]
The first light 'sat down' and 'faced' the constellation.
["Now, what do you want to do?"]
'I want to create a world with magical creatures like my brother... and...'
'I don't know.'
The first light 'nodded' as he listened.
["That's alright, take it slow. Creating takes time. You'll be alright. Just make sure you take a break every now and then."]
*Whoosh.*
And like a breeze passing by, the first light was swept away like dust.
'Take your time?'
The small light doubted itself, but decided to create another star.
'Creatures....'
They couldn't copy what their brothers had done.
'What is a magical creature?'
They began creating the first creature.
A being without form, free from the restraints of a solid body, more liquid than solid.
It reminded the small light of a slime, but it was more cosmic in nature.
The creature 'saw' the small light and shook slightly, like jelly. It seemed nervous.
'Hi...'
The small light was just as nervous, but that nervousness quickly changed to surprise as the cosmic jelly creature changed forms.
*.....!*
Making no sound within the confines of space, the cosmic jelly turned into a perfectly round ball, trying to imitate their creator.
'Ah, is that me?'
The cosmic jelly ball shook slightly and the small light felt something new for the first time.
It was not satisfaction like when they first created Saisho, it was a sense of accomplishment and acknowledgement
'Thank you!'
After that it began making all kinds of weird creatures and spirits to follow along.
After it was surrounded by cosmic light that resembled a discoloured solar system with the small light in the middle, they finally started creating their planet.
'It will be like earth, with humans and their eventual technology, but with creatures and spirits everywhere.'
Some will help the inhabitants and some will hurt them. That was unavoidable.
'But still, it will be alright.'
Although they would have to say goodbye eventually, that was all a part of their design.
Then the small light started creating their own world.
It would take time, a lot of time, but it was alright.
Even if they failed, they would try again.
And like that the creation of the fifth world began.
