Sbetr, Forge at Eternity

[Jedal he/him]

Since I happen to be very skilled at writing grand and half thought out beginnings, let us BEGIN!

 

Before Time, there was Eternity. A realm half made, forever shrouded in the mists of possibility. Although unpolished, there was grace in its form. A sort of beauty that can only come in beginnings. And so, in this realm, the Brothers sat.

The bickered, as brothers often do. But, for cosmic entities such as these, their disputes were not small spats. No, these were titanic battles between concepts! Between the forces of creation! But, as we know, in the end, neither brother truly ended above the other. For they were too similar in their difference.

There was Jengu, who was dynamic, bringing constant change in his wake. He wrought with his hands beings such as Chaos and the sun! Things which brought meaning, which changed. He was a temperamental god, to be sure. Constantly unhappy with that which he had created, he oft allowed it to be destroyed, or passed it along to his brother, Yezra.

Yezra, who with his careful machinations built Order to combat his brother's dynamic Chaos. He created spires of unimaginable beauty, although they lacked spark. To Jengu's dynamic passion, Yezra sat silent. A static being, one who remained as he had been at inception, Yezra sought to be the antithesis of his brother, seeing such creations as his to be clutter. 

Over infinity, however, the brothers saw that their battles never truly changed. Although there was always a victor and a loser at the end of their arguments, neither brother ever truly succeeded in gaining that which they truly desired. Jengu created for the love of it, while Yezra built things with a careful plan in mind. Both spawned endless creations, each one imprinting themselves upon reality. As Yezra created Order, it in turn spawned all the functions of the world, the foundation for reality. Chaos in turn crafted demons and magic, which warped the laws of Order into a mishmash of ideas. The brothers hated each other with a fervent passion, while in their hearts they felt Envy. In time, both came to see the beauty in their creations and the creations which followed those. They saw millions of stars, shining. They saw planets which were cradles for life, holding creatures which were neither Chaos nor Order, neither of Yezra nor Jengu.

Although they saw beauty, their rage overcame it. Together, Jengu and Yezra agreed to end their immortal duel. Together, they created something, which in time would come to be stronger than anything in either the Mundane or Cosmic, something which would shake the foundation of reality itself. Together, a soul was placed in the vessel of a human, a burning storm within chains. It would incubate within the body, until it grew and changed the world. 

We still wait for the king, the man who will change the world.

Will he ever come?

Very impressive. The only thing that I could say about it is that you almost force the forge into it. If you had mentioned it earlier, like when you were describing how they bicker, then it would feel more natural and flowy. This would just be a prologue right? For a story this wouldn't do, but for the exposition, it's great.

Then again, take my word with a grain of salt. I'm no critic, I just enjoy reading.

Lol yeah I forgot about it, and I didn't want to ruin the flow. I'm gonna edit that now.

Magic systems in this cold be a thing. You've said that magic is of Jengu which changes, but what if there was a magic powered by Yezra as well, a magic that could use a spark of Jengu to leach the energy from something, leaving it static, and using that energy to affect things within the natural order.
