Tales From The Cosmos

 8. Life

And here we are, my Acolytes. Teyra was primed and ready for the birth of life and with it a pattern- No, an example that would be followed for all of time: 

Big things start small and small things need a big helping hand.

Da Vaada looked upon the barren rock and the empty waters... and he breathed. Da Suun, who was Da Vaada, received and released it upon the world. It circulated, mixing with the gasses in the air, pulling droplets from the sea and dust from the ground. 

The dust came in many colours, green being the most common, and would often group together. When it landed, it would burrow into the ground, only to sprout from it, long and thin. Some became even longer, thicker and brown. Some landed in the seas. Those that sank would repeat the same process as on the land, while the others began to swim. 

The swimmers split off into two groups: those that would make the sea their home and those that would return to the land. These divisions would only grow as they spread out in both, growing into different shapes, sizes and even intellects. There were those who had no perception of creation around them, simply content to exist. Others could sense, observe and learn to different degrees, but none more than, perhaps, Da Vaada's greatest creation: 

The inheritors, the children, pulled from the ground to be its masters; sculpted in his image through Da Suun. I am, of course, talking about you, humans.

This, more than anything, was good.
