The being Who Was Not
That was what it was called after that moment…
In the heart of the void… in space… it was a mysterious divine embodiment. The eternal being… without beginning or origin. It emerged from nothingness… the essence of unknown truth.
It had no form that life could perceive. Its approximate shape was like a particle, spherical, white, surrounded by a network of interwoven blue threads around a silver shard, which formed its core. It was as if every part of it contained its essence. These threads also carried within them countless, infinite particles, capable of sealing and containing the shard that held supreme divine power.
Then came the moment. Fleeting, it broke the bonds within it. A slight crack appeared in a part of it, causing it to halt. The fracture was like a white rift, revealing the energy produced by the eternal being, leaking out and tearing the threads within.
At first, it radiated and vibrated with the fracture, then it stopped moving and showed no resistance. The flaw that struck it was destined to exist from the beginning, to complete it, and to reveal the full truth of its existence.
This was the new transformation brought about by the eternal being.
After a while… it fragmented, split, and vanished.
It divided into many parts. A flash transformed into waves, each of which gave birth to three waves in turn: the Raiken, the Kaïns, and the Worlds.
