In the beginning, there was nothing.
And then light!
The burning embers of a thousand stars came to be, and frost erupted against the blackened granite which begun to form in space. For it was this space, where life begun. For thousands of years the universe existed in only ice, circling a dark bit of darkness, though over time. The light grew brighter and eternal creatures had formed. There were many, those with wings, great feathered wings, that cradled their young colts and filly's in a gentle caress. Large powerful scaled ones which beat against a red hot sky! And those bellow, worms which wriggled under toe, and frogs which hopped above, there where deer, wolves, cats, dogs, birds, apes bugs cantaloupe! But there was none more majestic, than Antinac  (An tin awk) the unicorn.
He was a handsome stead, blue and silver, with a dark black mane like the evening sky and the lingering scent of stardust. Antinac was the guardian of Frost and light, he was born when the first full moon on the 69th year of existence flashed clear. The radiant beast spent his mornings laying amoung the frozen dew bushes, and nights charging through the cosmos.  On each full moon his black mane would glow with the starlight which let his essence to exist.
On a planet  third closest from the dorment sun there was Damnik (Dam nick) a bull raging in red hot rage and blistering envy. Damnik lived on the only planet with constant heat, his people raised dragons, great firey beasts which let their flames lap at the cool atmosphere.
Damnik watched Antinac with such distaste each evening the mighty guardian charged past his planet, he would ramble to himself
"Kill the star-horse" "Decay to the ice". His horns, though great in size, sharp, and powerful could not reach Antinac. The wife bolvine Manice (Man iss) worried for her husbands sake, their children grew brightened of the brute bulls obsession with defeting Antinac, and so she begun to listen to his ramblings, with horror she discovered Damnik had plans to slay Antinac with an army of his finest breed Dragons, he would send them to the unicorns home world and let them nestle deep against the frosted core, where Antinacs essence lay.  At first Manice  begged her husband not to destroy the guardian of ice.  She pleaded, and kissed his feet, saying that the gods would surly smite them.
"I believe in no gods."  He snorted, reaching for a whip which lay next to his coat and saddle. "we leave at dawn to destroy Antinac!"  Disbelieving of his raw anger Manice thought better to Warn  Antinac. So that night  Manice looked to the stars, her eyes searching for any sign of the Stary stead.  Just before dawn, and with no sign of him, she begun to walk home.  As he hooves scraped the ground in a turning motion, the red heated light begun to crispen, a cool wave of air overtook her and Manice shivered, to see the glistening body of Antinac.
Surprised though she was, Manice took no time wasting to explain what Damnik was planning. The Silver unicorn said nothing, he simply nodded, and took back to the sky.
As the sun rose to the center of the sky Damnik raised his whip, calling forth forty of the finest dragons he had. And cracked it once to set them airborne. The blazing wind welled under their beating wings as the crackling snorts and hisses begun to grow louder. Damnik called up to them, laughing erratically as they drew further away. Turning to face the dormant sun he thought it never looked brighter, surley if there where any gods they were in his favor today. Damnik squinted against the suns vibrance, it seemed far brighter than it ever had before. His smile soon faded into a look of horror, at first the sun shown so intensely that it appeared to have exploded, but when the flash disappeared, there was nothing, a black circle hung  in the darkened sky. With fear in his eyes Damnik screamed, his flock retreated, not yet out of their own atmosphere. Quickly ducking down and away from the cool air which was rapidly overtaking their planet.
Manice drew her children inside of their home. Calling for Damnik who was not listening.
"Damn rotten Unicorn!" He screamed to the sky, with an instant reply the whole world froze, dragons dead, and dulvines cold. Manice ran to her husband, leaving the children inside.
"I warned you! You have angered the gods!"
"There are no bloody gods woman!" he yelled, shoving her to the ground.
A jolt of frozen air pushed Damnik aside, and for the first time the cold voice of Antinac spoke, and incased all attention.
"I AM god."
The world begun to spin, much quicker then before, winds and storms yowled for blood, the once molten currents and lively crops which incased the heated planet withered and cured, cracking as frost overtook.
"Purity is not in the ice, nor the frost or snow, it often hides it Damnik!" Without any appearance of form an invisible figure picked up manice and slung her body against frozen ground, letting her bleed out as sacrifice to the angry god.
"It is by chance we exist, but by choice that we die."
The creatures, from that day on, where no longer eternal, cow was harvested for food, and apes were allowed to overtake the once heated planet, showing Damnik that his anger would be punished by the same horrid fate he had endowed on Antinac, his children slaughtered and essence removed, until bulvine was a hollow corpse of what sprit it once had.
