Creation Myths

The Regurgitation The silliest of all creation myths suggests that, a long time ago, there was only one God. This lonesome God was always alone and always cold. They floated alone through the cosmos, filled with sorrow and dread. Eventually the God found that they could create from their mind and hands. They set about making stars to warm themself and planets to find companionship.   While the planets did make them less lonely, the stars did nothing to warm him. At a loss, they decided to warm their insides with a new creation. They made themself a large molten sphere, the basis of a planet, to eat and warm their insides. As soon as they devoured the ball of fire, they felt deathly ill. Their belly rumbled and groaned as the molten ball bounced around their gut. For one whole week they suffered through the pain. Eventually they could take it no longer and retched until the sphere slid back up their throat and into the void.   The God examined what had left their body: it was now a ball of ice and storms with a chaotic eye of clouds and seas. They felt satisfied with their creation, but they did not feel that they were fixed. They now felt the clash of heat and cold within them, pushing violently in all directions. They resolved to splinter themself into thousands of pieces, hundreds of smaller, more complete Gods. So, the Cloud Sea is seen as the place where one became many, where the one God sacrificed themself to make all pantheons.   The Staff of God In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, out of nowhere, a God came to exist. They saw the nothing and desired to replace it with something. So they created fire to heat the void. But the fire alone was too much and made the God uneasy. So they created ice, and with it came cold, & darkness. Where the fire and ice met, the God found it possible to create new things.   First, the God created lustrous and opulent clothing for themself. Second, they crafted beautiful spectacles which allowed them to see and know all in the universe. Third, they crafted a magnificent staff which contained the powers of the fire and ice, allowing for the creation of whole worlds.   The God set about filling the universe and it’s planes with earth and stars and beings. Millenia passed and the God eventually grew bored of their creations. A compulsion to explore and observe took the God; they cast aside their spectacles and set out.   Many millenia passed and the God watched the progression of their Universe. They were complete. Deciding their function to be fulfilled, they used the Staff one last time and created a resting place on the fringes of the void. They crafted a large sphere of ice, then thrust the Staff into the ice. With that the God impaled themself on the Staff, melting a large sea. Their body slowly separated into the islands of the land, giving way to life.
