Genesis

Birth

At the very core of the living star energy pulsed whilst cascading light flickered, ever constant in changing hues and colors like a dancing rainbow. Particles the size of microns gathered, reflecting and refracting the dancing light as they gathered at the center and grew rapidly in size. The pulse became stronger, a pounding sound grew louder amidst the noise of colliding shards like broken glass. The pounding suddenly became rapid at the light brightened far enough to be reflected by the neighboring moon. Yet as quickly as it shone the light faded into a gentle glow, finally making visible the creation within.

 

A crystal was formed at the nucleus of the star and the pounding sound died down to a subtle rhythm. Little lights danced around the crystal as though in joy, one permeating through the solid exterior after another to fuse themselves. In that crystal slept an organism not of the stars but of the planet Earth. Curled into a ball was a being with two legs, two arms, and one head. Human is what i tseemed, the dominant species of the planet. It had long hair running down its curved back, a slim frame about the small body, and fair flawless skin untouched by the Sun's rays. The face was covered behind its knees and there was no telling of its gender at this stage. But at that moment, it was already a living, breathing, being with souls.

 

The moment has come when all the planets in the universe have aligned. Using their gravitational force as its momentum, the star shot out its seed towards the Earth. The deployment was a complete success but for a price. The force was too strong that it had caused the star to push back and connect with the moon's gravitational field. By nature it absorbs what comes in contact with and would've taken the Moon into itself had it not swiftly shifted its own trajectory. Alas, some damage could not be avoided. Some parts had been sucked out, leaving numerous craters on the Moon's surface. Even it's force of gravity had been mildly reduced but it remained on its orbit as though unaffected.

 

The planets moved and the force had passed. All was at peace again. With tranquility returned in space, it compacted itself to a smaller, denser, yet clearer sphere. Now the star may also rest easy and hibernate once more. While remaining unseen in this endless darkness, it can sleep without notice nor interruption. And this time, it will dream of its seed's adventures. What pray tell lies in the future of its sole creation on the blue planet called Earth? Only the sleeping star will tell.
