Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: 2nd-Draft

In order to "Create", IT started by gathering "Energy" around a single focal point and "Envisioned" what the "Energy" should look like, and by doing so that "Energy" will become a "Creation".

At first IT "Envisioned" something distinctive that opposes that of the "Void", and so It turned the "Energy" from the usual dark into a "New" "Energy" which shone through the endless "Void" and thus "Light" and "Colour" were "Created".

(Gathering the energy was easy enough but actually making it different from everything around me required more effort than I thought would be needed. All in all, the results were better than expected, now I can make more and shape them in many unique ways.)

Astonished by what IT had done, and unable to hold back the excitement IT felt, or perhaps it wasn't excitement but something else…. IT continued to "Create" more and more new things while "Envisioning" different forms regardless of the "Purpose" they serve and opted to just create them.

Looking at everything IT "Created", IT realised once more that It was merely a "Presence" without a physical form and so It decided to "Create" something that embodies Itself. After countless trials and error, IT had finally "Created" a "Vessel" and stored Its "Being" within the "Vessel".

IT gathered all the different things IT had created and combined them into one. The many creations had no distinct shape as of yet and only looked different in terms of colour. One might say they looked like different coloured light bulbs illuminating a dark place.

The result of the combined masses was magnitudes larger than they were originally. Although it's a vessel, its form resembled a massive ball of energy with different ambient hues of colours swirling together making it look like a ball of rainbow surging with energy (just imagine a rainbow-coloured sun).

The reason the "Vessel" looked like that was because IT wanted the vessel to look distinct from the "Void" which is why It wanted the vessel to represent all the different colours IT had created. The shape of the vessel was, at the time, insignificant. As long as a vessel accomplished its primary function, further improvements would come later on.

"Looks like it worked. Although not much has changed from before, now that I have a vessel, I can voice my thoughts which is something I was unable to do when I was just a presence. Now I can also illuminate this darkness just by being present."

Those was the first words IT "Spoke" once It attained the ability do so. Although IT had no audience to hear or respond to IT, having heard Its own voice and being fascinated with it, IT spoke once more, to the point where Its voice continued to reverberate throughout the endless "Void".

"Of course, being able to speak is completely useless for now, but it will be useful once I create other beings like me."

Now that Its vessel proved to work, IT could now execute the plan to "Create" others like IT even if the resemblance is only minor.

"Now that the vessel was a success, I can create others using the same template as my own. I'd rather they look differently from me so as to establish a hierarchy but also different from each other to not create confusion among themselves, so I'll keep their design simple but still different from one another."

IT "Created" multiple energy balls, but unlike itself, they only had a single colour and were significantly smaller in size and thus the "Void" was filled with countless energy ball or to be more specific, "Entities", floating all around. It looked like a rainbow sun being surrounded by smaller different coloured mini suns.

The surrounding view was enough to make IT stare off onto the distance (not like It had eyes to stare in the first place) while IT contemplated numerous thoughts of how to create the ideal environment.

(I'm still far from finished but with this, things are finally starting to come together albeit slowly. I still haven't yet found the perfect outcome or the procedure needed to get there and almost every other outcome is so similar that It's as if they are the same.)

After contemplating such matters, IT was prepared to engage with the "Entities" IT had created until IT noticed something.

(Something feels off, it's as if I've overlooked something important. Could it be that….) "Who among you can hear me? Can any of you move at all? I see…"

IT immediately realized that something was wrong.

(No response whatsoever. This could only mean one thing.)
