Before Earth, before anything, there were five beings coexisting in a dark void. The five beings each had an elemental core: one of air, one of fire, one of stone, one of water, and one of spirit. The five beings had no specific shape, they were just colors, brilliant colors lighting up the dark void. Even though the beings coexisted, they bickered often. All of the beings had varying opinions on how the void should be.
"Enough!" The spirit being boomed through the bickering. "Each of us should make a place to exist, a place that is our own. In that place we can decide what is there and how it is governed."
The other four beings went silent, it seemed like a life time before any of them spoke. "That is a marvelous idea," the fire being said, "But how are we going to decide where our places will be?"
"Simple," the air being replied, "The beings that bicker with each other the most shall have their places farthest apart."
They all agreed. "My place shall be far from yours," the stone being said to the air being.
"And my place will be far from yours," the fire being said to the water being, "but where will your place be spirit being?"
"My place will be in the middle, a place where you all will be welcome, but there will be no bickering," the spirit being said to them all. "Now let us all get to work, there is much to do."
The beings all parted ways and made their places.
The air being made Its place stark white, with swirling, fluffy air currents all around. The environment was positive, It eliminated all potential of hate. The being made creatures It called Angels, they had cores of air and glorious robes that flowed when they flew with their enormous six wings. It made the Angels to eliminate all evil things that try to enter Its place.
The fire being made Its place next to the air being's. The being left Its place dark. Instead of making a specific environment, It made bright creatures. It called the creatures Stars, the Stars had fire cores, which were surrounded by swirling colors of the most amazing reds, yellows and oranges. The Stars were made to think logically and to always consider peace before violence.
The stone being made Its place far away from the two beings' places. The being made Its place of dark brimstone surrounded by rivers of molten lava, the only light source. It made sure that all positivity was extinguished from Its place. The being made creatures of Its own, It called them Demons. The Demons had stone cores and no compassion for any other creature. It's Demons had red, piercing eyes and four dark wings with matching skin. The Demons' purpose was to keep all good things from entering the stone being's place.
The water being made Its place next to the stone being's. It filled Its place with crystal blue water and luscious green islands peppered throughout. It's creatures had water cores and swam gracefully between the islands. The creatures were called Kelpies, there skin was an almost transparent green and they had yellow eyes. The Kelpies were made to keep the place tranquil, but they were not above using violence to do so.
Finally, the spirit being made Its place were all of the other beings' places met, which It filled with spiraling energy. The energy was everywhere, moving in a slow and steady dance. The energy was a vast array of colors, blues, reds, pinks, purples, yellows, greens, oranges, all dancing slowly around and around. The energies were twisting and turning, mixing with each other. It was as if the energies were alive, begging the spirit being to join the dance, curling and flowing tightly around It, coming together and splitting apart in front of It teasingly. The spirit being could almost hear the energies begging It to move about with them. The spirit being wanted so badly to give in, It touched the energies, felt them brush against It gently. The being was full of joy.
Suddenly the spirit being realized that emotions could not exist in Its place. If there was to be no bickering, there could be no emotions, no anger. Hesitantly, the spirit being took emotion away from Its place. Its place was now more serene than any of the other places. It made Its place a neutral zone, so there was no hatred, no love, just simple existence. It made no creatures, but allowed all creatures from every other place inside.
The five beings convened at the spirit being's place to discuss the name of their collective places. The moment that the other four beings crossed into the spirit being's place they felt nothing but understanding for one another. The spirit being was thankful for the lack of bickering. "Since this is a whole place we should call it universe," the spirit being suggested.
"But this is not a whole place, we each have our own places," the stone being said.
They all thought for a little while. "We may be divided, but this is a whole void," the spirit being said, "We should call it Universe, but name our own separate places whatever we like."
The other beings nodded in agreement. "My place shall be called the Celestial Realm," the air being said.
"Mine will be called the Astral Realm," the fire being said.
"My place will be named the Nether Realm," the stone being said.
"My place will be called the Hydro Realm," the water being said.
"And this will be called the Spirit Realm," the spirit being said, "May you all have much luck and prosper."
Then the beings all parted ways and have ruled their Realms since.
