[center][b][h2]The Beginning of All That Was[/h2][/b][/center]
He was one and yet he was many. He had no arms but he held all there was within himself. It was a strange existence, and he had no idea when exactly he had figured out that he could think and feel, but try as he might he could not bring himself to separate from the others. He was stuck… Or maybe it was him that was holding the others back.

That is, until It happened.

Searing pain enveloped him. It burned him and everything around him, all that he could touch shivered and shied away. Had he a mouth, he would’ve screamed and cried out in pain. Then there was a shockwave.

All That Wasn’t reeled and shattered into a billion trillion pieces and the fabric of the emptiness he had come to call home tore, and through those tears leaked in a divine and primordial energy.

Before, he had believed himself to be a shapeless pool. Now, it felt like his true body was stuck in that pool, a pool of mud that wanted to drag him to its depths and devour him. He swam with all his might until he broke through the surface, and then there he was.

From what he could tell, half his body was still in the pool, but he was oh so very tired from his effort and now that he wasn’t being pulled down anymore, he didn’t see much reason to exert himself. Sloth took a deep breath of…

Nothing?

There was nothing.

No air, no light, no sky, no space, no time. 

There was nothing, and yet there was something. At the centre of all emptiness hovered a single entity that took on the form of a [url=https://i.gyazo.com/08d995fa56a773d5546e25eb2961daba.jpg]scroll[/url]. It called to him, ordering him to fill it with power. He was tired and he really didn’t feel like doing anything, but his will eroded the longer he stared at the Khodex. In the end, he groaned and did as he was asked. He focused and released the energy he’d just been empowered by, allowing the scroll to absorb it all. It pulsed.

The scroll, which he instinctively knew was the Khodex of Creation, then hummed and exploded with light. The sound was deafening, and the shockwave immediately reached every corner of the Great Void.

The Khodex was calling for more. It was forcing them out of their tiny hiding spots, dragging them from other worlds, and carelessly forcing the birth of new stewards like him. There’d be more, many more, and Sloth felt them stirring. It is what it is, he thought, and then went to sleep as he floated in the Void.
