The Gods and The People

**In the beginning,**

Well, we're not sure, we're not sure what there was, we don't know if it was the chicken or the egg, if it was the dark abyss that spawned the first remnants of existence, or if perhaps there was something much deeper and further past our knowledge, all we know is that before **them**, there was next to nothing. **They**, are who we know as the Ancient Gods. Quite literal immortals, with unfathomable power, though at first they weren't like this. They were simply just, immortal, but nothing more than that. They wandered and floated amongst a dark abyss for ages, alone, with nothing, nothing but themselves and the crippling dread that had come over them, for they had been like that for who knows how long, a tortuous, agonizing existence of a dark sullen solitude in a desolate empty space in which they have no power, it seemed as though they'd spend the rest of eternity like that. Why was it they had come into existence? Perhaps it was punishment, perhaps this was not the first world, the first life they had lived in, perhaps in a past life they had done horrible things, or perhaps there was an even greater power with a disgusting sadistic craving to be fulfilled, they never knew why they had existed, and so, they floated, and floated, floated for ages, and ages, no concept of time, no stars to gaze upon, no galaxies to watch, no planets or terrain to land on, no life, nothing.

**And then, there was...**

Time. The immortal beings who had been in agony, had felt a new spark within them, a new sense of wonder and awe, they watched as hair begun to sprout from their body, as their nails grew longer and longer, something had begun. To clarify, there was 4 of these immortal beings. Unknown to the other 3 of them, one of the 4 had discovered something tremendous, a power deep within them that had awoken after all these ages, spending so long with nothing but themselves, they found something in them, something so powerful it would forever change this entire universe. Before this power had been discovered, there was nothing but the concept of time itself, you could count seconds, you could feel the "time passing by", but there was no actual time, nothing was really in the motion of time, time didn't exist, atleast not until they had awoken their power.

**The Four**

Knowing that maybe there was a sprout of hope, that there was something out there, something to finally bewilder them, they begun trying harder and harder, and they too had finally searched within themselves to awaken these abilities.

Cupido Spe had been the first, he was the God of Time, the one who started it all. They had created the existence of time itself, and had the ability to perpetuate its flow, and stop it completely, but they were unable to put it in reverse. Though, a grimmer fate lied ahead in the passage of time they had created.

Aurora Solem was the second, she was the Goddess of the Stars, she could create raging infernos and amazing displays of light that she could beautifully coalesce into the stars of our universe.

Magna Virtus was the third, he was the God of Land and Stone, he had created grand vast landscapes, and with his own mighty hands, chiseled away and detailed into every little crevice and inch of his creations, he had loved and admired his work with every bit of his being and more, passion went into every swing and flick, every tap and smash, every grab and breaking that he had done to create the amazing planets.

Semper Semoto was the fourth, he was the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the words he spoke spread throughout the entire universe, and although no speech had yet to be conceived or thought about, everyone understood what he had spoken. He had brought together the 3 Gods before him. He had allowed to speech to be created, and for knowledge and understanding to be passed from one God to another.

**And yet,**

There was still a yearning, the four of them finally had found eachother, and finally saw more than just a dark never ending infinite abyss, and yet, there was still something deep in them that felt missing, Magnus had no one to make use of or admire his grand works, Aurora had no one to shine beautiful spectacles of lights upon, Semper had no one else to share his knowledge and wisdom with, and Cupido had watched as his time slowly eroded and dusted away the works of Magnus, as time had cause the stars of Aurora to burn out and disappear yet again into the darkness, and as the memories which had the knowledge and wisdom from Semper began to fade. Although Cupido had been the beginning, his power was a curse to begin the end, before him there was no time, there was no perishing, no erosion, no dying out, no forgetting, Cupido was filled with a great grief and resentment towards his own existence, despite still being loved and almost worshipped by the other 3 all the same.

**For Centuries,**

Magnus had been working, working, and working on what he had called his grandest, most intricate, elegant work yet, but, as for grand, he certainly didn't mean in the large sense. Finally, Magnus had come to Aurora, and had shown her first of what had been made, and at first a wave of confusion come over her, before shortly becoming enthralled with the creation and realizing what had been done. It was no plant, no large meteor, no vast landscape, no mountain, in fact, it was smaller than Magnus' hand, and he had managed to create such a small, delicate, yet unbelievably intricate, detailed, and full of life work, was beyond her. What he had made, was a smaller, near exact resemblance of them, more specifically, it had more so resembled Cupido. This figure had the grand stature and strength of Magnus, the elegance of Aurora, the wise look in their face like that of Semper, and had an overall look that resembled that of Cupido, which had radiated such a great energy of high standing and great signifigance from them, and so, the name Adam C. Meum (C. = Cor), had been given to him. Then, Magnus had made a request, for her to light up the eyes of Adam with her beautiful stars, and then to Semper, whom he asked to give the gift of knowledge to the rock brain of Adam, as well as wisdom and feelings within the empty stone heart of his, and finally, he had asked for Cupido to finally awaken Adam, with his time he would bestow the gift of life upon Adam, and awaken the beloved creation.
