A few days ago, I made an attempt to write a creation myth, which will form the foundation of the Darkstar Supers Universe. I'm proud of the result, and have already been integrating it into the Gauntlet Alliance mythology. I'll probably edit it into something more coherent later, but here's the beginning of it, kept as tweets:
"Light did not come quickly to the universe. Under the swirling crimson and pitch skies of Premus, the battle for genesis began."
"Great beasts of fur and circuitry rose against paladins of occult might, each pulled from different universes to do battle."
"The Masters and The Fiends, the first created beings of this new reality, drew in these beings for dominance of the fledgling cosmos."
"The light of the Masters barely held its own against the darkness of the Fiends, but rapidly gained strength and brightness."
"The knights and cyborgs fell to each others' weapons and might, and the spilled blood soeaked into Premus's soil. From death rose new life.
"The ground of Premus, formed of only the most basic life-giving minerals, gave rise to new natives of the universe, rising from the earth."
"The A'dama rose first. But a piece of them was unstable and fell from them during their sleep. These pieces mingled with the soil, and..."
"...became the Hav'yavat. Together, they were the Premans, and made this first world their home."
"The light and dark became separated and equally dispersed. Soon, the clouds over Premus cleared, revealing an ancient red sun in the sky."
"The Masters actively strove to lead the Premans in the ways of Good, while the Fiends subtly tempted them away from the Masters' light."
"In between the Masters and the Fiends, the Premans flourished, using their bodies and minds make food and shelter and soon, tools."
"Within a generation they had created a fully-formed language. Within three, they created vehicles. Within seven, complex machinery."
"By the 13th generation, the Premans learned to harness electricity. By harnessing electricity, they soon learned magic."
"By taking hold of these forces of nature, the Premans soon expanded beyond their home world, and took homes on other planets."
"The influence of the Masters proved stronger than the Fiends' influence, and the Premans society flourished in both strength and love."
To be continued...
