[THEOGONY]
The Origin of the Gods.
It is related that the first primordial being born was Chaos; then Gaia, the most spacious, the only one of all, the eternal immortals who bear children, the children of Olympus, Tartaras, the heavenly realm, the land of Euryods and Eros, who is the best in immortality, he who is free from all gods and all men, is condemned by his law and his despicable will.
From Chaos were born the dark Erebus and Nyx, and from him came Aether and Hemer, begotten by the mingled love of Erebus with his Sister-bride.
And Gaia, the first to be equaled to this starry sky, so that without any labor she might be blessed by the gods and be safe forever. Urrea was created far away, giving the gods the ships of the Nymphs, and temples were built in Urrea. And the raging sea also gave birth to a son, Pontus, a son of fleeting love; then I blessed Heaven with a deep ocean, Koios, and Crios, who will surpass Iapetus, the goddess Rhea, Themis, Memory, Phoebe, and the golden-crowned Thetis of Erath. And to them, the most armed, the most cruel of children, became Cronus, the cruelest of children; he did not give birth to happiness.
Cronus, he who cut off his own progenitor, erasing his seed, and extirpated him from existence. Ending his immortal life (form). And the sky was condemned never to be united again.
But the present history is no longer following this course. For it is being rewritten by the mothers of fate (Moirae), three wise old women who denoted the fate of the immortals, mothers immeasurable in their office.
They cut the thread of destiny, imbuing it in others. This would become the new primordial sky.

He doesn't know how long he fell asleep, but when he woke up again, he felt... Light? It wasn't a sentimental lightness or anything like that, but rather a lightness of "weightlessness", as if his entire being had suddenly lost all mass.
That was when he "Woke Up".
Not in the usual sense of "waking up from dreams" but something like "creating consciousness". He could "see" his entire extended reach, all he saw was a damp land And crusts of immense Earths beneath a blue and green sea. Everything seemed strangely... empty?
Not empty of life, but empty of "concepts", as if you were trying to paint A blue sea, but without the colors for it, leaving a void in the landscape.
That was it! That meant that perhaps then—
"I... What am I?"
I didn't understand, everything around me I could feel a higher expectation, as if you were looking at the ground while standing on top of a mountain.
Not only that, I felt, EVERYTHING around me, in these skies, was ME. Could that mean something? But before I could question myself Further in this spiral, a delicate and curious voice reverberated throughout the place, I felt the earth tremble and groan at this.
"Time? You... Who would you be?"
The voice that seemed to come directly from the earth communicated through the fissures in its crest, it was like veins of the planet transmitting LIFE. Therefore, I couldn't help but answer.
"I... don't have... a name?"
Even though both of us didn't have mouths at the moment, we managed to transmit our thoughts, it was intrusive, but strangely I didn't feel invaded.
"Hmm~ I see... I Am [Gaia], I am pleased to meet you, my dear Who Dwells above me."
The voice seemed pleased with something, but what caught my attention was its name— [GAIA] as in the MYTHOLOGICAL PLANET GAIA? Could it be possible that—
"B-by any chance, are you this earth?"
I asked anxiously, if I had a humanoid form, I'm sure I would be sweating cold. But it seems that such things were still possible, since the clouds that I now perceived as composing me, moved faster and dispersed like panicked breezes.
"Oh? You know me?..but yes, I am Gaia, this earth, and also the one who gave birth to you~, the one who lives above me."
Wait..if I noticed correctly, everything around me was just sea, land and mountains, and the skies were my own body. In that case, if I was the sky, I was—
"I..am Uranus…"
And then, it was as if SOMETHING arose within me, from my core, I felt my soul stir and writhe, blossoming as if awakening from a long sleep. I was awake now.
"Uranus? What a beautiful name, my dear."
The voice was gentle and compassionate, if this was really the beginning of creation, it would make sense, after all, there had been no rebellion or war that would end up transforming the kind mother earth into a vengeful old woman.
In other words, everything was fine…
Shit…I'm going to be castrated…
