Prologue

Before Time

Before the Beginning…there was no concept of Time. ‘Time’, as we know it today did not exist. It only came to be after the quest for the Strength had begun. Before then the earth did not rotate, the sun did not shine, nor did the rivers flow. There were no signs of life until the only two entities in existence separated.

As long as they agreed, they made the Balance. Although there was this Balance, there was only Darkness surrounding it and a void unimaginable for human comprehension that dwelt within it.

The Balance was maintained by the two Spirits staying together, how they knew to stay together was unknown, but they did. Once they separated, it set into motion a chain of reactions that evolved to what we know today as Time.

Together, they provided each other all they needed for existence. When they did finally separate the two spirits became like magnets. They tried to rejoin but repelled each other with such great force that it started the earth to rotate. Thus, Time began.

Before that there was no Night, nor was there Day. Darkness prevailed throughout and it was within this realm of Darkness these two entities existed. Both were equal in all respects, yet they were vastly different. They had reached a point in their evolution where each of them had the ability to reason.

As long as the two entities stayed together, they made the Balance in the Universe and all was ‘Good’, but if they ever separated they automatically became opposites, like magnets and over time would evolve.

Being entities, there was no need for sleep, food or any other life-sustaining element. Not even language had come into existence, because there was an enduring level of communication by the entities staying together.

One of the entities, later to be known as Yacoo, regaled in the Darkness and welcomed all of the adventures his spirit could experience within it. Yacoo would travel into the far reaches of the Universe through his ability of telepathy and his capacity to will his spirit anywhere he pleased.

He discovered that his spirit reacted differently in each of these places that he telepathically visited. In some places, he would experience an excitement beyond his comprehension,
