the beginning

A Chapter by carla

The big bang is it? Scientists believe that life started with that one ‘explosion’ but what really happened is something more magical and mysterious than anything we can imagine.

14 billion years ago there was a universe much more different than our own today. Back then stars and planets where born with hearts, hearts in the form of human beings and angels. Planets were born with sister stars, because the hearts of the stars could not live independently in the abyss of space alone. They needed to be nurtured by the planet and its heart, so it could grow its wings, becoming what we call an angel, and fly along side its star, planet hearts never grew wings and remained what we call humans. Although, when the star’s heart was fully nurtured the star did not leave the planet, for the planet could not live without the light and heat of its sister.

Stars and planets continued together until one day something unspeakable happened, a star was born without a sister planet. This star was unlike any other, it didn’t shine and give off warm light like all the rest, instead it was a black hole, cold, and darker than the farthest corners of space. Just like its star, the heart was cold and did not have an inner light like the rest of the other stars’ hearts. Its wings weren’t white as the pure light the stars gave off; they were black like its star. But this star’s heart was not completely unlike the other stars, it also needed to be nurtured by a planet. So it went from planet to planet looking for one that would take its heart, but they all rejected it for they were afraid.

But one day when the star and its heart were on the break of death a planet sympathized with star and took its heart in. This planet was a beautiful blue for its oceans and an enchanting green for its lands. The star was grateful but it felt anger towards the other planets for rejecting it. As soon as its heart was fully nurtured it bid the planet goodbye and that it would one day repay the favor in some way. After that the star set off to punish the other planets.

The star sent its heart out to the other planets and told him to whisper bad things to the stars and their hearts. Pretty soon the stars were listening to the dark angel’s words. And they began to abandon their sister planets. The planets couldn’t live without their sisters so they did what they feared; they sucked their hearts into their core and went into an eternal hibernation. Soon almost all the planets were in that state and the stars were and their hearts were suffering by the sight of it. And every one knows what happens when angels begin to suffer, they begin to die, and that’s exactly what began to happen. The light from the stars began to fade and darkness took over the universe.

During all of this the black star and its heart watched in satisfaction, they had gotten the best revenge and now not just that but the annoying light from the other stars was fading. ‘serves them right for abandoning me’ said the star ‘but ,star, not all abandoned us’ claimed the star’s heart and then the star remember the beautiful blue and green planet, the one who had saved him and wondered what happened to it.

The star went to look for the planet and saw that it too had been abandoned by its sister but there was a light coming from the planet. The star sent its heart to investigate when the heart got there it was surprised by what it saw. The planets heart had grown wings and was at the top of the planet like a praying angel and light was emanating from it, it was keeping it planet alive. The heart tried to approach the planet but could not get past the barrier that its heart had created. The heart told the black star and its reaction was immanent, it loved this planet for it was full of mysteries. How could it simple human heart have transformed into an extremely powerful angel? The star tried to approach the planet but it wouldn’t allow it. ‘Why do you reject me? My love, please come to me. I will protect you and keep you alive’

‘NO! You’re a monster. You caused the planets to go into the forbidden eternal sleep!’ With sadness deep in its heart the planet turned away from her once beloved star. ‘I was wrong when I thought there was good past that cold and dark exterior’

Filled with rage and sadness from being turned down by the planet, the star began to devour everything around it. All except the planet for it still loved it and vowed that one day she would be his. But in its act of rage it lost sight of it and its rage just grew, it sent its heart out to find the planet.

Meanwhile the planet was on the other end of the universe, it ran when the black star’s rampage started. Many planets, which had yet to hibernate, followed the planet’s light. The planet knew its heart wouldn’t be able to but asked, for the sake of the others, that it give light to the all those planets. The heart miraculously did as she was asked. The planet’s were afraid every second that the black star would find them and they would be forced into the eternal sleep and they were also beginning to lose their ability to sustain life so they decided to ask the planet with the light to keep their hearts safe on its surface. The planet agreed and allowed their hearts inside her barrier. Soon the planets began to orbit around the planet and its heart’s light.

The planet then came up with an idea, to get the other planet’s hearts to shine as well. The hearts of the planets united and put all their energy into bringing out the light that was sealed within them the day they were born. A light that the angels of the stars used to say came from the star of beginning, a star that never lost its light and was brighter than another. The star was said to give life to both planets and stars alike and that the same light that gave birth to stars gave birth to planets.

Then when they were able to bring out the light, it began to shine brighter and brighter it merged together and suddenly the light spit in two a large light and a smaller light. The large light lifted and became bigger until it was the size of a new born star. And the smaller light grew wings and became a new born angel. They had created a star!

The planets let their hearts stay on the planet that had saved them, Earth. The star became the center of their solar system. The stars heart was also an earth and for years they lived happily ever after.

But now billions of years later the black winged angel appeared and this is where our story begins.
