Chapter 2 - Genesis of the world

Name is the soul of a living.

And so just like it's significant to know about the constituents of a name, knowing about its nature is no less.But it would be impossible to understand the nature of a name without any knowledge about the genesis of the World.

....

The world began as a voiceless and shapeless creation hovering somewhere in-between The Primordial chaotic waters and the cosmic order Ma'at. Then also, surrounded by the 7 universal trees also known as the 7 fruits of Odumankoma (God), all on an imbalanced scale. There was a constant surge of destructive power from the primordial chaotic waters, a constant surge of order, balance and sacredness from the cosmic order Ma'at, and a constant surge of an idyllic breathe of life, an oppressive breathe of death, a promising breathe of rebirth, a challenging breathe of destiny, a disordered breathe of fate, a cold breathe of curse, and a punishing breathe of consequences from the 7 universal trees, all towards the centered world. As a result, the world continued to grow shapeless, chaotic and destructive as the surge of power from the 3 Major Cells Of The Universe was unbridled, just constantly flowing in profusion. It was like an uncontrolled water flow gradually leading to a flood which is destruction.

The world teetered between destruction and recreation as it was incessantly battled by the potent oppression of eternal chaos. Something about the world was certain: it didn't want to face eternal perishing, but rather exist either by destruction thus soaring to join the Primordial chaotic waters or by recreation to become an independent whole enriched by the constant surge of power from The 3 Major Cells Of The Universe. Little was known that while the world teetered through destruction and recreation persisting in its resourceful action, it was rather transforming. It took an unknown number of ages for the world to transform from a voiceless and shapeless mass to a beautiful small world with a plain land, and a closer blue sky. Then a green seed being the first ever to exist on this plain land. Gradually the seed grew into 3 greenery roots, then after unknown ages these 3 roots enlarged and spreaded out all across the world leaving a fissure everywhere they passed until they had travelled across most part of the world, whereupon they died_ becoming rotten roots and fading away due to lost of essence.

Then again a green seed appeared in the world, emerging from one the fissures created by the 3 greenery roots. Gradually it also grew into 3 enlarged greenery roots and spreaded out across the world, however with these roots they didn't recreate any fissures but rather they deepened the depths of the ones created by the first 3 greenery roots.Green seeds after green seeds appeared in the world and departed for the next to emerge, scarring the world as they deepened the depths of the fissures the first 3 greenery roots created. It was so until a golden seed appeared. Upon this golden seed's arrival, a white lotus also appeared in the world unknown of origin. Out from this white lotus, 2 colourless lights like divine essences appeared from it. They aimlessly wandered the world not sure of what their aim particularly was. It took the intervention of the cosmic order Ma'at which was now part of the world to balance the two; and this explains the nature of a name and why it's significant. The cosmic order is responsible for balancing the world, therefore she holds the ultimate power to judge right from wrong, true from false, living from dead, illusion from reality, and it was primarily based on this did the 2 colourless lights gain their identity 'Ka and Ba'.

The ka: the vital life force of a living being. And The Ba: the unique personality of living being.

The union of these two brought about the general creation of human beings, either being it the first human being to the conceived. To put in simple words, the Ka and Ba are the very nature of a human being, thus the soul.

Yet after the creation of the first human being, there still wasn't life despite having a vital life force and a unique personality. It took the influx of the essence from the breathe of life into human before life was given.

A beautiful female with a long dark blue hair that was thick and thin laid lifeless and naked on a plain land. A feet above her, a golden fruit that had the shape of a mango hovered as an ethereal light shimmered around it making it glow like a ray of sun. It later on melted into a stream of golden light and sinuously descended into the schnoz of the lifeless figure rendering it the breathe of life. As a result, the lifeless figure immediately rose and became a living.

Even though the land was plain, it grew no plant. There was no water body, no rainfall, no air, no animal, just a Plain land and a closer blue sky without visible clouds.

Naturally exploring such a place wouldn't cost much of time, not even to mention the world was a small-scale one. And so when this being developed the sense of boredom, she became upset.

One may ask how a living being without any source of knowledge could develope the sense of boredom and upset? The answer is

This living is a creation from different origins. The union of Ka and Ba, and the essence of the breathe of life. Together the creation becomes compound, having different characteristics from what the Ka and Ba have, or what the essence of the breathe of life has. It becomes a different creation, with its own special nature.

Following the upset was questions. Questions of why she even existed. Why only she existed and why the world was just like what it was everyday, affecting her to also be like how she is everyday without the slightest sense of change?! And these were all triggered from her inside, induced by her nature.

She touched the sky and thought, is there something beyond you??

Then suddenly that simple question sent a signal causing an unknown wave, massive like a destructive storm to sweep through the world. Within a moment, numerous white lotuses merged into the world like raindrops. And like the same process like earlier, human beings were brought into creation. But this time around, there was a moderation which only the first human being noticed, there was a moderation: different type of beings were among her type's midst.

However they didn't have the proper language yet to communicate so matters were left to be like they are.

The first human to exist became like a goddess to the later ones given the fact that they all came to meet her. The people here knew about respect, else if they didn't they wouldn't have known to treat the first human to exist different. Aside that, anytime when a human being developed the sense of boredom, given that the first human had once had that experience she would bring the victim along to touch the sky and confess his or her inner feelings. And miraculously it would be given.

So later on the small world was filled with animals like the tigers, cats, lions, and eagles. In addition to trees and stones.

Every human has their own unique personality, and so their inner feelings can never be the same. The first human was bored because of her loneliness but the later ones were because of the unavailability of different kinds of creation.

Gradually the first human really became a goddess who could see a little beyond what the normal couldn't. The believe in her rose beyond normal as she could almost find solution to every problem a human faced.

Now that was an advantage of being the first to exist.

But a dire situation occured and that is how the world altered.

The first human being touched the sky and her thought was different, "are we forever going to live like this?".

Once that thought ended, she fell to the ground lifeless.

Due to this, problems were no longer solvable and humans developed anxiety. It was owing to this did one human go to touch the sky and thought from his inner self, who thought this could occur??

Remember fissures had been already scarred in the world, and what's worse deepened?

In total those fissures were 79, and if not for the fact that they weren't huge enough, they might have left the whole world layered with pits. But that is not the problem at all, the problem is each one of the fissure represented a 'possibility'.

So when the thought of this particular human was confessed, the fissures widened and the land forcibly expanded and that expansion also had effect on the human way of living and the world in whole, thus it completely altered.

The Ka and Ba were also opened to new possibilities.

Possibilities grew intense and as a result the alteration of the world tensed. The stars, moon, sun, seasons, reality, illusion, were all invoked by possibility.

The story has just began, ready to explore the world of today?? Where Magic exists and Fantasy is reality.
