  *There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled around life-giving suns. And then... We raced to the light. It was the spark that the started **fire--** a **legend** that grew in **the telling**. Some believe it began the moment **Hyperion** was rescued from a dying universe. Others say it was when **The Guard** were broken on the dead moon. Many more think it was when **Ex Nihilo** terraformed Mars, turning the red planet green. They are all **wrong**.
