The Creation. We've all heard different stories and myths of how the world began, but here is the truth about how one individual made a permanent difference shortly after the Creation.
*****
No one is certain exactly how the universe began,
but it is certain that in the beginning, there were two distinct races:
Gods and Demons. Gods were more powerful, but even their power was subdued
by the number of the Demons. However, one Demon in particular was more
powerful than the rest. When the Gods finally got enough numbers to defeat
the Demons, one in particular stood out. The Gods had to admire his strength
and his fighting spirit, but he was too powerful to keep loose and had
too much influence to kill.
So, using their magicks, the Gods sealed him away
in a golden box until they found someone they deemed worthy enough to try
and tame him. Over the generations, Gods and Demons (one way or another)
interbred, creating a new race: Humans.
Humans were weak. That much was sure in the eyes
of both sides. The looks and abilities of both races cancelled each other
out, creating the race we are today. The Gods never thought that it would
be a human that would recieve the Box, but one did.
Her name was Pandora, and although the Greek myth
says that pain, death, and suffering were sealed inside the box that the
Gods entrusted to her, it was not so. In fact, the Gods told her to open
it. The Demon sealed inside was forbidden to harm whomever opened the Box,
and so Pandora herself escaped from harm, although the world came upon
the worst thing that had happened since the last time he was free. The
Gods sealed the Demon away once again, waiting for another they deemed
worthy of recieving what was now known as Pandora's Box....
