Creation Story.
In the beginning, all was one. Some of the one saw what the rest was doing and so it separated and left its brother to let it create existence. The one that left launched itself into the Nothing to explore its deepest reaches, all the while dreaming of beautiful, wonderful things. Now, when it returned, it found that its brother had become the universe. This universe housed beauty, but it was too ignorant, ordered and mechanical for the one that left. So, the one that left sought to fix that. Like its twin, the one that left began to create something of its own. This force was life. But unlike its other, it had gone off into the Nothing to explore the deepest regions of the known and unknown. It understood beauty, philosophy, and the wonderments that fell in between. The one that left then created forces of life. It blew wind into the atmospheres of all the small planets that incorporated its twin. To some it gave gorgeous portraits of swirling gases. Others received flowing streams and deep, dark oceans. But this was not enough, as none of these could truly experience or understand those things that the one that left had come to know. So, the one that left slept, and from its dreams came all the forms of life. When the one that left awoke, it was dismayed, for forces of life were impossible to control and living things refused to appreciate beauty. Plants only grew and died. Animals lacked understanding. One animal showed promise, mankind, but they too ended up being as dumb as any other beast. So, the one that left used all the knowledge it had, strewn with compassion, beauty, and wisdom and created another creature, one that would appreciate all the things that the one that left appreciated. This race pleased the one that left, as they fawned over all the beauty it had made in the universe. Having empathy for the other creations, they cared for nature with a tender hand. They helped the plants to grow and taught the animals to feed. And then they encountered humans. Different from other animals, humans were creatures of potential, and the new beings saw this. Slowly, they instructed man on how to cultivate the land, to speak, to love, and so on. Over time, though, they were too good at their job, and mankind felt they no longer needed the creatures' help. Knowing that man did not yet fully appreciate the world they had, the beings were dismayed. But from then on, the teachers of humanity were no longer understood by their overly proud pupils. The one that left had moved on to reexplore the Nothing and the new race had no one. Most sought seclusion. Some didn't last. Some found one another. But still, they were forever separated from man and would always feel like they were merely watching the world of humans go by as through a pane of glass.
