Chapter 1
Prologue: The Dawn of The Primordials

3rd Person POV

In the beginning, there was nothing. No order, no chaos, nothing. Then in an explosion of power came the birth of Creation and Destruction. Constantly having repulsing one another in what appeared to be an endless dance. As the hatred between them came still, Creation and Destruction formed a new bond of power, as an agreement of peace between the two. The bond of Balance. The eternal peace of cooperation within the universe since one cannot exist without the other.
And from this Balance came the beginning of Time. A force that creates and destroys as it continues. Of course, Time was confused about his purpose in the eternal Balance of Creation and Destruction. He had no Order only Chaos. He needed something but didn’t know what. As Time looked across the endless Balance he began thinking. 

‘If Balance can create me, then I shall create something of my own.’

 Said Time as he created the first Light. As Light’s golden rays shone, the Balance began to darken as Shadows danced across whilst they absorbed the Light that shined across Dark’s new Void. Time was happy to have created something as Light and Dark danced across the cosmos creating Stars and Nebulas across the endless Space of the Void.
What Time didn't know was that his creations were fading out as they struggled against his endless currents. 

‘Why must Light and Dark struggle against my eternal currents. If they can't last, then I shall create more forces to help them in their struggle.’

 Time stated as turned towards one of the many Stars that littered Dark’s Void. As he reached towards the Star he grabbed something from within its center. As he pulled and pulled, the object finally ended as it laid across Time’s eternal hands. A long golden string made of an unknown power that which resonated with the entity. The first thing that came to his ancient mind was a single word, Life. This was Life he was holding. The string turned a deep green color as it dispersed and spread across the universe. Strengthening the stars against the endless currents.
As Time grabbed another string he noticed something different about it. It seemed Older and weaker than the previous one. As he observed it, he noticed that it began to turn black and crumble against his hands. The Star’s light began to fade as it burst into a flurry of color and dust. Death, that's what happened. The end of all things. His destructive nature got the best of him and the outcome was the creation of Death. But he also created Life. He was conflicted by this revelation. As a final thought crossed his mind he decided that he shouldn't create any more than he should destroy. As he left his creations to their own devices of Creation and Destruction. The universe grew ever more lively.

As the universe aged. The dance between Light and Dark had become stable whilst Life and Death became restless. Life wanted to create much like Time did but she wanted to make more out of it. She'd gathered nebulas and Stardust before cramming them together into a more solid substance. She created planets and asteroids, placing them all throughout out the universe but what she didn't know was that her magic was more powerful than she thought and without intention, she created another entity. Earth she called herself. The essence of all terrestrial bodies within the universe. Life was ecstatic about this but she still wanted to create more, no she needed to create more.
As she went through ideas she noticed Earth’s sorrow and decided to investigate. 

‘Hello Earth. I had noticed your sorrow from afar. Tell me, what makes you sad?’

 Life asked in concern for her creation. 

‘Hello Life. I've just noticed how lonely I was. Everything is just so far away. I just want friends to keep close by and cure me of this loneliness.’

 Earth said in sadness. 

‘Then friends I shall create for you.’

 Life said as she gathered more nebulas and Stardust. In light of the new project, she created a Sky for the planets to enjoy. Each one more unique than the rest. And like before, Life's magic gave the skies a collective essence of which called itself Air.
But Life wasn't satisfied with this so she created large oceans and seas on the planets, using some form of matter called liquid. Water she called the new entity. Life still wasn't happy, but she didn't know why. She was confused. She created beings much like her creator before her but she felt like she needed to create something different. As she passed by one of her planets she noticed something off about it. This planet held more magic than all the others she's encountered. As she landed upon the convergence of the Land, Sky, and Sea. she looked around the environment before her. It was calm and peaceful as the waves crashed against the sandy beaches that stretched across the solid expanse.
As she began to walk she noticed a tingling sensation in her feet. As she looked down, she noticed something soft and fuzzy growing beneath her feet. It was mostly green with colorful petals growing around it. Flowers she thought as she continued to look back from where she came she noticed other more colorful flowers behind her. Grass… Plants. She decided to continue walking. Now knowing that a trail of plants followed her as she walked. As she began to play around with the life that surrounded her, the land around her began to grow with plants of every kind, from trees to flowers to bushes and grass. As the plants grew, new creatures began to emerge from the forest, birds sang from above as small mammals scurried through the grass. Life was finally happy. She had found her bliss. As she continued to play with the nature that surrounded her. Centuries had passed by as her animals evolved with her magic.
More sentient species began to thrive, the most noticeable were three equine-like species. Earth Ponies of the mighty land, Pegasi of the endless sky, and Unicorns of the calming sea. But much to Life’s disagreement, Her counterpart, Death, had found the planet. And upon his arrival, plants began to wilt and wither, animals began to mutate with fangs and claws. Life wasn't really happy about these changes but she knew that Death was inevitable for her creations. And accepted the planet’s fate. But to her surprise. Death liked the life that thrived on the planet. In fact, he wanted to add on to it. With Life’s help, he created the Soul, a powerful life force that will last until the end of Time itself and can even withstand Death’s touch. He also created monsters and plants that have the base instinct to kill. He also gave benefits for the plants when others decay.
Unfortunately, his influence on the world negatively affected the guardians of the Land, Sky, and Sea. Air was the first to react. The skies darkened with rage above where the sky meets the sea. Thunder boomed as Lightning crackled, the first Storm was created. A Hurricane that destroyed everything in its path. In competition with the skies above. Earth’s crust began to crack and crumble​ as the surface exploded with intense heat as Fire spread across forests burning everything to ash. As the Land and Sky let out their fury upon the world. The seas began to freeze and harden with Water’s bitterness and hatred towards the two’s power.
Before the event could continue, both Life and Death intervened, stopping them before any more damage could happen. After the event, the world changed to accommodate the new entities that joined in. Leaving you with the world as you know it today.
