Chapter I: The Great Silence

The Pre-Aion

​Before the first heartbeat of time, there was only the Void. It was not a darkness that could be seen, for there were no eyes to see; nor was it a coldness that could be felt, for there was no skin to shiver.

​It was an absence so absolute that even "nothing" was too loud a word to describe it.

  1. ​No Energy: Not a single vibration disturbed the stillness. The cosmic sea was flat, frozen in a state of non-existence.

  2. ​No Time: There was no "before" and no "after." All of eternity was compressed into a single, breathless Now that never moved.

  3. ​No Matter: No dust, no stone, no stars. The blueprint of the universe was a blank page that had not yet been manufactured.

​The Paradox of the Void

​In this vast theater of non-being, the Void was both the womb and the grave. It held the potential for everything, yet expressed nothing. It was a vacuum of such infinite depth that it began to ache with the weight of its own emptiness.

​“The Void did not wait, for waiting requires time. It simply was—until the moment the Stillness decided to break.”
