Before there was anything, by our understanding anyway, there was The All. The All was quite simply: the Life Force. The All was simply everything.
One day The All decided its solitary existence was in direct conflict with its intended purpose to expand and grow and live. So one day The All, with a mighty explosion, grew and lived and expanded outward in infinite directions, dimensions and distances and the multiverse was created.
The All filled its new universes with positive and negative energies and the five elements of fire, land, water, air and spirit and it put the mighty forces of Order and Chaos in charge of maintaining a balance between all things.
The forces of Order were responsible for making sure the multiverse operated according to the rules of The All. Always in balance, the negative never outweighing the positive and yet Order sometimes relied on chaotic happenings to enforce this balance.
The forces of Chaos were random and unwieldy and yet also had an order and a purpose, to affect change and create the conditions that enabled Order to do its job.
Life also formed in the multiverse in billions of different forms. Some took the form of the lower animals that populated the trillions of worlds and those worlds on which they lived were life forms in their own right as were the stars.
Through this constant cosmic dance the galaxies and solar systems were formed. The great nebulae took form and stars ignited and burned themselves out countless times throughout eternity and whole races of beings lived and died as was the way of The All.
The energy that existed in the multiverse could not be created or destroyed by any being, nor even by the forces of Order and Chaos and all returned eventually to The All.
Every thought and action in the multiverse caused a change in The All and upset the balance of things but this was the way the wheel turned. Order and Chaos and their agents would bring things back to balance, equaling out the negative and the positive energies by manipulating or reacting to the actions in question.
Many life forms on many worlds started to gain a partial sentience. Not the full understanding of The All that its higher beings like the stars and planets possessed but a spark of the divine that they recognized in themselves. These life forms could manipulate The All’s energies, both positive and negative with their very thoughts thus throwing the balance of The All into a state of constant flux.
Chaos reveled in this as it thrived on the randomness that the lack of balance caused. Order similarly found comfort in being useful in meeting these challenges. A game of sorts formed between Chaos and Order, one constantly opposing the other to maintain the balance. Yes, even in Chaos there is Order and Order is only effective in the absence of balance. The All simply was, and watched these games in silent introspection.
