Genesis AD (repost)

[FlyingJesus]

So yeah I've posted this before, but last time I posted it with the entire chapter one included, which is a big read and put people off... so yeah this time I'm just posting the very short prelude, with the possibility of the first chapter (written three so far, totalling something like 24 pages) if people really want it.

edit: ewww fonts messed up, had to change them to something the forum understands



Prelude.


A labyrinth of colours. The spectrum of the universe opened up to me. Creation… my will. Life… whatever I might choose for it. I sculpt, as if from clay and water, each part of my new world. Some cliffs over the sea, a stretch of coarse desert, wide areas of trees – each one a new model and none the same as the next.

There goes my beginning.

Power of a God. Sorcery, divinity, immortality, all mine for the taking. Light… I am the switch. Death… I am the scythe. Zoom in, zoom out, make a change to my view. Step back and squint. Watching my world: Dæmons ravaging the lands hunted by chivalrous knights, Mer-People exploring new depths of unpolluted clearwater oceans, dragons gliding over grey-blue mountain ranges.

Wait for my beginning.

Energy in my palm. All the rivers of the world flowing within me. Breath… mine to take. Existence… under control. Adding the final touches, the last brushstrokes, the closing of the curtains. A snap of my fingers, a wave of my hand, a nod of my head – weaving the fabric of existence as I move to the music of creation, electrifying exertions erupting into a series of short, stabbing steps.

This is my beginning…
