MYTH
In the beginning, unbeknownst to anyone, the universe lay in utter darkness and silence. Massive (tho only in relation to each other, for there was nothing else to which to compare, nor anyone to care) chunks of rock floated aimlessly through nothing, occasionally slamming into one another, sometimes breaking up, their pieces floating away, directionless.
Without form and void, the blackness stretched on infinitely......
Endlessly.
Until.
From whence unbeknownst to anyone, there came streaking across the nowhere, streaking and shrieking, a massive geode, a geode as big as a spherical-esque galaxy. Black as everything on the outside, blending in with everything and the nothing they filled. And on the inside, oh on the inside, bristling with crystals, crammed with crystals, of every size and shape known to no one. Formed with physical and geometric perfection, hard as the tooth of Eternity. And oh, the song they sang! Of every frequency and tone and note. Of everything beautiful and shining. They tinkled and they hummed and they rang. And they screamed, as they hurtled through space, their very speed causing them to move forward, rather than aimlessly through the void. As the mass picked up speed, the howl became a thing that shook the time waves and caused time tsunamis across the universe. We're still recovering from that.
As distance became more of a thing, caused by the huge rock moving so differently in relation to everything else, and after the geode had covered an unfathomable distance, there appeared (to no one) another geode, of the same size, and on the same track, from the opposite direction. Since there was now direction.
In no time at all (and the last time for THAT to happen) the two galactic crystal caves collided. The impact of the crash shook the universe like the wind snaps a sheet. The Big Bang itself stopped in its outward journey to look back and marvel.
The friction of all the crystal had ignited an explosion of sparks, burned some of the crystal itself, changed some, spun off huge masses of burning material, igniting many of the rocks already nearby. Igniting everything. New explosions igniting newer ones, masses of rock now bouncing off one another until a circular motion had been established.
All the time......singing. Shouting and laughing and chanting. Adding to each piece of stone in the sky light and music.
And it all marched outward with the universe, filling Everythingnothingforever with silvery song.
