Introduction:
The World of Carnac
In the beginning there was a chaos. Timeless energies
swirled in a great mass of color and light in the soundlessness of space.
Over the millennia the energies gained substance and began to weave
itself into the fabric of what would one day spell life.
Out of this fabric a thread, an insignificant piece
of power disentangled itself from the mass. While the essence of this
thread was one and the same as the energies which at the very moment
were evolving, it changed along a separate path. It alone gained consciousness.
Time passes...
The consciousness comes awake. At first it wanders around
what now has become a star, so compact has the energies woven itself
over the eons. It looks upon the lifeless star and is touched by his
first feeling, sadness.
With his hands outstretched he, Logos, took it upon
himself to create life. For days he shaped what would become the world
Carnac. At first he created the lands, the tallest mountains and the
deepest valleys. He then created the clouds and the sky. He thought
he was finished and he was content.
He watched the world from the mountains, reveling in
the cools winds that swept its peak. He touched the clouds and felt
a wetness like he had never felt before, he liked the feeling, the cool
wet feeling of water. He tasted it and was amazed by its purity and
how refreshing it was. He thought about this, and he looked down to
the land beneath him. It was dark and dry, and for the first time he
realized that apart from the mountains the world did not look beautiful,
and though the world turned it was not alive. It did not speak, it did
not grow. It would merely spin for eternity, not unlike the energies
it was molded from.
He thought of the moisture in the clouds and remembered
the joy he felt in the experience. He wanted the lands of feel as he
felt, he willed the clouds to rain and so it did. It rained for 49 days
and the water carved the rocks, flooded the valleys and created the
ocean. Soon the world was a splendid blue, like a turquoise jewel hanging
in the colorlessness of space. But there must be those who can experience
the splendors of the rivers, oceans and lakes. The rocks and mountains
as Logos had learned were lifeless.
Taking the remaining energies from the clay he did not
use to fashion the mountains he created life. First he created the fishes
to swim in the water he loved so much. Then he planted the trees who
would forever favor the presence of its moisture. Later came the animals
then the soaring birds that further graced the world with life. Lastly
came men whom he created in his likeness, they too had the power to
mold the world to suit their needs and the first seeds of mankind he
placed near the great rivers which had been created. There they would
have all they need to prosper.
For a time all was well, Logos now a God was content.
And all his creations rejoiced and prospered in the land bestowed to
them. But all was to be undone. In his haste to create mankind in his
own image a piece of clay was left unused. The clay lay forgotten in
the darkest valley of the new world. There it lay for centuries, waiting
for its turn to be molded into something beautiful. At first it was
patient, Logos has a special plan for me it thought to itself, maybe
he has not yet decided what to mold me into. But as with everything
with consciousness its patience waned, and it grew bitter. Made of the
very fabric of the world and instilled with a mind not unlike Logos
himself the forgotten piece of clay willed itself into existence. Bit
by bit it transformed and with each transformation it grew ever more
hateful of being forgotten.
By the time Logos recalled the forgotten piece it was
far from too late. Already an entity which named itself Patos was formed.
It rivaled Logos in power but contained none of the compassion, love
and the desire to create as its counterpart. Instead it longed to twist
what Logos had painstakingly created. As revenge, Patos¡¯ first act of
power was to instill change, change which Logos from the very beginning
hated.
From his act came the four seasons, day and night, life
and death. But this wasn¡¯t enough; Patos wanted Logos to experience
the pain and abandonment he felt, taking a handful of sand he infused
within every grain what would be known as the sins of men. Each grain
he took and planted into all of mankind, and with that act men turned
away from Logos, the learned greed, lust and had a desire to dominate
and destroy.
Powerless to stop it, Logos wept.
