Reality (Issue 1): In the Beginning

Chapter 1: Not a Great Start

         Beautiful waves of the sea gracefully dance with each other in celebration of the Heavens. A flash of light rests on the horizon, and two men appear in the distance. The one floating above the waves is wearing only a cloak that's as white as a dove. The one walking on the waves alongside him is only wearing a green and gold cloak.

           "In the beginning," the floating man says, letting down his hood, "God created the Heavens and the Earth,' Genesis one, including spiritual creatures and humans. Creation was pure, but a part of it had free will. Unfortunately, a significant angel began to see how beautiful they were and became prideful. He was banished from God's holy presence and became the Adversary." From above the clouds in the distance, lightning strikes, accompanied by faint yelling noises, that slightly desaturates all colors, except for the men in cloaks, who have just reached the shore.

           "One day," the other man says, letting down his hood, "because of his twisted mind, the Adversary tempted the first humans to disobey God." A man and a woman appear behind a bush, holding fruit from a beautiful tree. Suddenly, when they eat the fruit, all colors become even more desaturated, except for the men in cloaks. "This tragedy started the great blinding, which further deceived humans and made God seem foolish to them. Satisfying themselves, Humans imagined new gods and conjured up false understandings of the Heavens. Due to all the corruption, the universe became unbalanced and twisted. Now, this is Reality." The two men put their hoods back on as they enter the darkness of a cave.
