"Foreword

I have made this so that you mortals can see what is behind the history of our universe, or even our universe series. I am the Chronicler, and I have been around since the beginning of time, watching. Writing. The only reason that I have a name is because of the Death Warder, who always called me that because of my duty. This will not be biased on him, though I consider him a friend.

Creation

The Cosmic Beings appeared in a world of nothing, with no purpose, no understanding. In an attempt to understand what they were meant for, they accidentally created the world and everything in it. They spent millions of years trying to understand their individual abilities, being- Control of Reality, Creation of Life and Energy, Keeper of Death, Keeper of Magic, and Watcher of Time. In one training session, the Keeper of Death suggested that they give themselves better names than a title of their power, (Ironically, given his own chosen name). They named themselves Viriz, The First Life, The Death Warder, REDACTED and Twilyt. The Death Warder soon suggested that they make copies of themselves to look over the world they created. The others liked this, and went along with it, creating the Cosmic Duplicates. The new creations had other plans, seeking to destroy the universe over and over again until they made it perfect. After this, the other Cosmic Beings lost much of their trust in the Death Warder, and would no longer listen to his ideas. Soon after, Viriz suggested that they create a being that has a mix of all of their power, with not as much so they wouldn't be a danger. All were reluctant, but went along with it. They made the Construct, making it powerful enough to stop their adversary, but not powerful enough to stay long after. The Construct sought and destroyed all of the Duplicates, storing their consciousness and power inside jars for each being to regain the piece they lost in making them. After, the Construct split, forming the Chaos Lords and the Order Keepers. The Cosmic Beings felt that neither were a threat, and left to train themselves more. Each of these new factions wanted complete control over themselves. The Order Keepers held a vote, all of them selecting Praise, who for the rest of time itself, would be known as Order. The Chaos Lords, on the other hand, warred against each other for millenia, causing great death, and many catastrophes.

The Chaos War/The Order Dying

The Chaos Lords all wanted complete control over the others, and were very willing to kill to do so. Mimicry and Suffering had become allies, as Suffering was content with second-in-command. Destruction, Nightmare, Pain, Hunger, and Virus, however, were all in it for themselves, though towards the end of the war, Destruction and Pain allied with Mimicry. Nightmare remained on his own, and Hunger and Virus allied to defeat the others. Nightmare was himself killed, though as a Chaos Lord, he would come back in 2000 years. This war affected the universe in many ways, with the Chaos Lords recruiting many races to their command. They were all feared by those who refused, as they were in a primal state, and had not condensed their forms into how you may know them. Suffering recruited spider-like beings, known as the Voras. Destruction recruited beings who have properties similar to acid. I have yet to give them a name. The Order Keepers and the races that they had under their rule were collectively known as the Order. The beings that correlated to the ones fighting and dying in the Chaos War were gaining the wounds and death of the beings in the war. When Dream (not the “Youtuber”, or whatever mortals call it) fell to his counterpart dying, what remained of the Order Keepers stepped in, locking the Chaos Lords away and appointing Mimicry as Chaos. This remained for billions of years, until through a Voras, Suffering was able to break free of his bonds. His kin (the Chaos Lords) gave him a new name, as “Suffering” didn’t sound like the name of one who broke the bonds of order. They gave him the name Le’leiden. He broke the others free, and set off on a quest to create the Chaos Knights. At the same time, his counterpart, Joy, set off to create the Order Priests so that something like the Chaos War could never happen again.

The Forming of the Chaos Knights/Order Priests

Le’leiden and Joy set off to make their respective groups, and Le’leiden soon found his first member. Cheatrogue. He was a jester recently fired by a king. He was bitter about it, and Le’Leiden thought that he would be perfect as his Chaos Knight. Le’leiden returned to the Realm of Chaos and presented the jester. Chaos accepted him, and he was given a scepter with a spade on top. Destruction then set out to find his Chaos Knight, finding a red-energy being who called himself N. Destruction gave N armor so that he could contain himself, and recruited him to the Chaos Knights. These are the only beings suitable for being a Chaos Knight that the Chaos Lords found in this iteration of the universe. The Order Priests never got a member in that iteration. So I will now move on to the next important event.

The Creation of A.W.O.L

Viriz thought that each Cosmic Being needed a second-in command. So he repurposed the Duplicate of him to be his personal assistant, naming him Rhyme. He soon betrayed Viriz, leading him to be re-sealed, from then on known to the Cosmic Beings as A.W.O.L, deriving from the term of the same name. A.W.O.L grew to call himself Crhyme, and planning the demise of the universe he so hated.

The Creation and Development of Welt

The Death Warder decided a being that was as strong as a Chaos Lord/Order Keeper, but completely under the control of the Cosmic Beings would be a good thing for the universe, as it could keep the other two factions in check. Viriz agreed, but the other three thought it would end up like the duplicates. So as a precaution, they called to Gerald, the creator of the multiverse, to add a plane between universes to keep any beings like theirs that went wrong. They did not believe that it would, but as a precaution. Welt was created, and was trained by Viriz in secret to be able to mimic the form and power of anyone and anything in  the universe. He was taught by the Death Warder how not to end up like the Duplicates, and Welt learned, and did not end up a failure. However, REDACTED detected the use of his ability, and found Welt, and had him sealed in the dimension that was made, lying about him becoming a failure and forcing him to do something evil to prove it to the Multiversal Pig. Welt was sealed in that dimension, slowly becoming bitter and destructive, vowing revenge against the Cosmic Beings, and became the ruler of any other versions of himself. His second-in-command, and the one he considered a brother, was able to travel freely between the Seal and Reality. I’ll talk about him later.

A Tear In Reality

Welt had many attempts to escape, with only one being near-successful. He began to tear reality, dragging anything that was below the Balance (The Chaos Empire and The Order) inside, destroying the first iteration of the universe, and closing the rift. The Cosmic Beings created a new universe, making sure that Welt could not open another rift.

Universe Iteration 2

This iteration was a complete disaster. The Cosmic Beings weren’t even able to reach their training grounds before the Chaos Empire waged war on any being who would not serve them, destroying nearly every living thing in the universe due to warring. N spent most of the war searching for the counterpart of him from this iteration, E. (I have discovered that all iterations of N mix together to spell something even I cannot understand, other than the second word.) Soon after the war had ended, the First Life tried and failed to recreate the life of this universe, and was forced to watch as his second creation decayed. Though, there are still events that happened during the decay, though they are nowhere near as catastrophic.

Forming of the Council of Balance

Chaos and Order met to talk about an end to their war as they watched the universe decay, and became more rivals than enemies. Order proposed the idea of the Council of Balance, which would meet every 1000 years, to discuss what the other group wants and how that can be given without harm. Chaos agreed, and said that the Chaos Lords and the Knights would have to come as well, to help with his decision. Le’Leiden suggested that the leaders of the Voras and other groups under the leadership of the Empire would be represented as well. So, between the Chaos Realm and the Order Realm, there was a chamber formed, and they agreed that if mortals ever appeared again, they would be allowed to see this important event, as it would be a once in a lifetime thing, many lifetimes for others. Though in special cases, like if there was a being stronger than Welt that had malevolent intent, they would meet even if it defied the schedule. (Chaos’ favorite part of the council! I hate it though, it throws me off.)"
