[h2]Nameless Savant[/h2][b][color=darkred]Chapter 0 - Flamma Vitae[/color][/b][hr]
As you pour your power into the trapped flame, something curious happened. You felt a [i]resonance[/i] with it. Visions that somehow seemed familiar flooded your mind. It was pleasant at first, but the vast amount of information quickly became unbearable. Soon enough, you found yourself clutching your head desperately, as if hoping that by squeezing the path towards your brain, you could stop the memories from flooding.

Yet it was futile. Knowledge continued to assault you from all direction. You were engulfed by it, and as if reflecting the state of your mind, [i]your own flame[/i] began to swallow your body whole. From outside and within, you suffered torture beyond belief.

"Ah.. This is.." You found yourself muttering.

[i]My world.. Our world..![/i]

[h2]The Creation of Something[/h2]
At first there was nothingness. No light, no shadow, just.. Emptiness. Void, all-consuming and all-encompassing.
Sitting on top of the blank canvas, was a solitary Being. Demiurge - the Grand Designer.

They are the Monarch of this Domain.
Nobody appointed Them for this role. Yet at the same time, nobody were against it either.
For there was nothing but Them.

Then They grew bored of the blank-ness of it all.
So They decided to make an experiment. To create [i]something[/i] from [i]nothing[/i].
First They created boundaries between the nothingness and Their creation. [i]Space[/i].
Then They created a concept do discern between things that has happened and yet to happen. [i]Time[/i].

They, too, created concretes foundation for everything else that was to come.
Light, Darkness, Land, Water, Fire, Wind; They kept adding to Their new creation.

Then They fragmented parts of Their being into 72 Pillars to support it all -
To stop them from returning into nothingness;
To Anchor them into [i]Reality[/i]

The pain subsided. The flame too, seemed to have subsided. You finally relaxed and crumpled into a kneel. Sweat covered your entire being.

"[i]Wait, sweat?[/i]" You wondered to yourself. "[i]Shadows do not sweat.[/i]"

Then you realized that your entire being has changed -- or rather, returned to its former existence. A name lingered in your mouth. And for some inexplicable reason, you cannot help but feel like announcing it out loud!

"___! I am ___!"

Then you turned back towards the enormous congregation of flames, buried of piles of flaming, yet unburning scriptures. It was one of the 72 Pillars, you were sure.

[color=darkred]"I am Vassa the Prophet,"[/color] the Flame announced. [color=darkred]"Are you my master?"[/color]
