In the beginning the creator formed a vastness of energy, encompassing everything and nothing, dark and light, hot and cold, matter and anti-matter. His design would settle after many a millenia, and eventually reach a point of purpose, self-suffiency, and perpetuity. His rules for creation were clear. His creation would be governed by laws that he decreed.
The creator had two sons. One of the dark, who he called Radamik; and one of light, who he called Mopok. Two brothers. Of the same energy, but very different.
Radamik created the world of Anarkand, and Mopok created the world of Earth.
On the first day, Mopok created a ball of mud, he called earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Mopok was hovering over the desolate ball of mud. This filled him with a sadness. A sadness that cast down a tear from his eye, creating the waters of the earth.
Mopok was rejuvenated. He said, with enthusiasm, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Mopok saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
He called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning.
On the second day, Mopok said, “Let there be no vault between the waters of my creation, and the energies of my father above. So Mopok, made the sky above with a transparency that allowed the below to peer into its abyss.
On the third day, Mopok said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. He called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And Mopok saw that it was good.
Then Mopok said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And Mopok saw that it was good.
On the fourth day, Mopok said, “Let the light beyond the sky of earth, separate the day from the night, and let it serve as a sign to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let it be the greatest of the lights in the sky to give light, warmth, and energy to the earth.” And it was so.
On the fifth day, Mopok said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the earth's sky.” So Mopok created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Mopok saw that it was good. He infused them with his energy and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
“Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
Mopok made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And Mopok saw that it was good. Then he said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
On the sixth day, Mopok created mankind.
Mopok created mankind in his own image, in the image of their God he created them; male and female he created them.
Mopok infused them with energy and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Then he said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
Mopok, the god of Earth, was happy. He saw all that he had made, and it was very good. But what of his brother and his creation? Mopok's was beautiful, blue, bold, and thriving. His world was bigger, his world looked better. He saw this, and smiled at his creation. He believed he had triumphed over his brother.
