It was dark, cold, and barren. Not that anything or anyone could feel it. The darkness devoured everything that there was, and there was nothing. Even the darkness did not exist.

And then a light. It consumed all of the space that it could. A bright fire, with spiraling flames emitting a single point. And that point was a girl. A sphere of space existed between her and her creation. Her eyes were closed and her form was of a baby. Slowly, she grew as her eyes opened. Hair that was flame turned to ember, forming red hair that reached to the lower part of her back. Her body was taken by the flames as well, and she received a red dress. Her eyes were red as the tips of fire. But she was alone.

She gazed at the fire. She touched the surface of the fire, pushing a little, but not much. Just enough that she could feel the warmth in her fingers. Something touched back. She drew her hand away. She pressed again, a bit harder. This time the fire sped away from her hand. She could see what had found her.

It was a boy. Not much larger than her. Contrary to her white skin, he bore light grey skin, as if smoke from the fire she had created. His eyes were black, and his hair was short and brown. His eyes were kind. He wore a white tunic with white pants. He stretched out his hand and smiled.

The girl smiled back, and took the hand. He drew her close to him, and the fire sphere collapsed into a smaller one. She looked at him, floating a bit away to lessen awkwardness.

"How did you do that?" She asked. He shrugged.

"I don't know. It was the right thing to do."

"Right...thing...to do?" She stopped. "Do I really sound like that?"

"I don't know what you're hearing, but yes?" He replied. "I think that's your voice. And this mine."

"Who gave us these?" The boy shrugged.

"Whoever made us I guess. I don't know who, or how to contact akun."

"Akun? Is that who made us?"

"No. It's what to say if you don't know if someone is a he or a she, assuming they are not an it. And if it's only one person."

"Oh." The girl looked down, or at least what she thought was down. She looked towards her feet. The boy put a hand on her shoulder.

"Do not despair. Look at what you can create!" The boy gestured to the ball of fire.

"I can create a sun."

"And you weren't even trying. Maybe you can create more things than this. Wouldn't that be grand?"

"I guess it would be."

"I know right from wrong. From the moment I knew of my existence I knew. Together we can create a good place."

"I'd like that." Suddenly, there was a big outburst of warm air. They turned, and in the distance, could see two girls cuddled. They opened their eyes, let go of the other's hand. They spotted the fire girl, and the morality boy. One of them, a girl with short yellow hair, spoke to the other girl. The blue-haired girl hugged her, and the air girl shot out her hands and flew through space until they were by the first two beings.

The blue-haired girl let go. Her hair was long and dark. Her eyes were turquoise, and her skin was a light blue. She had a light blue short-sleeved shirt with a matching skirt and dark blue leggings. Her twin, it seemed, had short hair like a boy's. As mentioned earlier, it was yellow, but now more of a cream. Her eyes were green, and her skin was cream-colored. Her short-sleeved shirt and shorts were green.

"Who are you?" The older of the two asked.

"We are the first two beings." The fire girl replied. "Who are you?"
