The creation of worlds

Blackness

The world was nothing but dust and magic floating in space. That is how everything was, dust and magic, beautiful and simple. The gravity invited everything around him to join it and make a creation worth their individual pride. He called to earth, you are fertile and will create plants and life. He crooned to water, with your help we will see the first signs of intelligent beings. Reaching for air it twined between his fingers and nuzzled his thumb. You my darling will move seeds and make it possible for the intelligent life to roam freely he said.He lastly called to fire who was rarely seen in the blackness of space: you and I will hold the planet together helping it spin. How could any of the elements refuse with gravity speaking to them so sweetly. They joined hands and tried to become a planet, however they could not. Gravity was puzzled he was told that these were the only things he needed to become a planet. A jingle of a laugh sounded light years away. He locked eyes with magic. She was hiding behind the sun laughing at their attempt.

None of the elements were as smart as magic. They all possessed their specific purpose but not even gravity had the power to create a planet. So magic laughed and laughed, their attempt was a good one but it would never be enough. She quieted when gravity beckoned her to him. Slowly floating on the solar rays she journeyed to gravity his pull inevitable. He twined his hands in hers and kissed her finger tips. All the other elements were jealous of the reception that magic was getting. She did not see as she was so enthralled with gravity. With little need to ask she joined the elements in their attempt to make a planet.

That was how most planets were made. With magic being shunned by the elements and never really being a part of anything. Just being under the surface staying away from the four elements and staying with gravity. But this magic was smart, she saw the pain in the other elements eyes as gravity crooned over her.

She broke from his grasp and floated around the four elements. Each one was fairly similar to each other all were simple. They hand no defining reason to be so magic decided to give them one to show her gratitude for being able to help them. She gave earth a strong will, water a clear head, air a free spirit, and fire a passion like no other. They all beamed at her, thanking her for her gift they all hugged magic. Gravity had to flop on top to not be left out. In that embrace they created the first planet in the solar system.
