Nocturne

In the beginning, there was....

Nothing. Nothing but blank space in which the black energy floated freely and uncontrolled. And then something happened. Nobody knows what it was nor where it came from. But it was like an explosion, that stretched all over the cosmos and suddenly changed everything. In less than a second there was light, and white energy, and life. Of course, life was not like we know it today, but it was there, and every bit of it is preserved inside all of us. Although most people do not know that. Well, so there was now life and white energy and everything that is needed to develop life as we know it. So then from dust and glimmer that levitated around free space, planets formed. And like that our mother Gaja was born. And so was her first child she gave birth on the 13th day after time was created. Her first daughter was a ferret. A black ferret as big as a mountain but as gentle as a butterfly and as beautiful as a star. As a gift, the goddess gave her daughter a white necklace of pearls and named her Nocturne. Every evening Nocturne will hug the sun and the night will fall upon the earth. Then snowflakes on her fur will sparkle for us as stars and sometimes we may see one of her eyes at the night sky watching over us. In some nights it will be open completely and light up the night. And some nights she will close it completely for no threat is near her precious children. In the morning she will let go of the sun, and let her rise to shine for us.
