Author: THE WISHMASTER
Subject: FireQuest: The Birth of a God - Kolob

The first feeling that the entity had
Was one of mere existence,
no consiousness, just a feeling of being
And as the entity became more aware
It realised that it was floating
In a place where no light could penetrate.
And none existed.

It moved it's arms amid what seemed like water
But heavier, and the essence that surrounded it
filled the gaps where it's hands had just been.
This was the Void.
Nothingness as pitch black as the darkest onyx
And it would take millions of years for the entity
To grow into the Father of the Gods.

As with growth, across the years came realisation
That the entity would have to leave the Void
It took an name unto itself - Kolob, which meant:
Orb of Wisdom - and assumed the form of Man.
His intended creation, for he knew
That was his purpose.
He was, the Father of All Things.

As the years passed inexorably to the moment
That he would have to leave the Void
He planned, for his Wisdom told him
What he knew already deep in his very fibre.
Not all of him would be leaving the Void!
His Dark Side must remain so that his Light
May shine upon a new Dawn - unimpeached by night.

And with this realisation came fear
His Dark Side would command the Void
Free to do with it what it would
And Kolob knew what it was capable of
For it was his own Dark thoughts.
But this was inevitable,
with Greatness came Great Evil - it's Dark Twin.

And so, Kolob struggled to free himself
Of the morass of black density that clung to him
As if not wanting to let him go.
Many years he struggled until finally
An opening formed, a rent in the very fabric
Of space and the time continuum as he emerged
into a place of wonder and brightly shining stars.

As the hole in space closed behind him,
He could hear his Dark Side screaming in frustration
at being left behind, Kolob knew then
That the madness would implode on itself
Leading it eventually to pure hatred
Of himself and all that he created.
The last terrible scream that Kolob heard as the hole sealed itself was:
DRACKUS, I AM DRACKUS, AND I WILL BE FREE!
