Akal: A Short Story
In the Beginning, there was Akal, and Akal was all. The Void before the Universe contained neither time nor space. The heavens and their hosts had not been created, and nothing existed as yet, properly speaking. There was no light, but there was no darkness either: The Void was a nothingness that the eye cannot perceive nor the mind understand.
The Void was not empty, though. It was filled by the Word, and the Word was Akal. One might say He had always existed, but He would not have thought of it that way. Akal was an idea, an abstract, neither space nor spirit. He had no concept of time or space. To Akal, all things were one. He did not exist, properly speaking; He was Existence.
Akal had no wants or needs of any kind, and no desires, either, …show more content…
But it was in that same eternity that the first instant sounded. One idea, one vastly different from the others, arose from the will of Akal. This idea was a point of infinite density, where there were no dimensions or any sense of space. A state of extremely low entropy, where everything was compressed into an infinite singularity. Instantly, dimensions began to form within the point, and it swelled like a cosmic bubble. Energy appeared within the bubble, a pure form of energy, which dissolved into light. Space glowed like a pure white flame. Time began to flow at the moment of Creation. Strange as this may seem, all these things, creation and the beginning of expansion, began at exactly the same moment, which the Anoleki call “Event One”. This light, in its purest form at the heart of time itself, became known both as the First Reality and as the Firmament, the home of powerful …show more content…
The Four Fundamental Forces of the Universe, previously only observable on the nanoscale, were now apparent in all matter. This reality was then superseded by the Fourth Reality, better known as the Antimatter Universe. This was a chaotic place. The remainder of the light that had not been turned into material elements instead became antimatter, a powerful and unstable substance. The Antimatter Universe was a realm of chaos. Nothing could exist there, and a powerful electromagnetic field separated it from the rest of reality, preventing all from being
