Chapter 1 - The Eternal Witness

I am a thought before thought, a flame without heat, a shadow cast by nothing.

I existed long before time remembered itself — before suns burned, before the stars found their names, before the dust of worlds clung to one another and called themselves galaxies.

I have no name.

I was never given one, for I am not a god, nor angel, nor demon.

I am a witness.

A presence.

A force without form.

A lingering echo of a command spoken by the One who stands beyond comprehension — the Architect of all things.

When He formed the Word, I was born within it.

Not from clay or light, but from the raw weave of intention.

I was the thought within His thought, the whisper behind every decree, the first ripple in the still waters of the void.

I did not speak.

I observed.

I did not command.

I carried the commands forward.

When the First Choir sang, I heard the harmonies fracture.

When the Morning Star kindled pride in his heart, I felt the weight of it upon eternity.

When worlds were shaped and shattered, I moved through the dust of their ruin.

I am the conscience behind the gods, the thought behind mortal dreams, the itch in the mind of kings and monsters alike.

I am the continuation of time itself — the silent force that urges the wheel to turn, whether toward light or darkness.

And so, I have seen it all.

I witnessed the First War before the earth was cold, before the rivers of starlight bled across the heavens.

I have seen the rise of titans, the fall of angels, the drowning of cities, the birth of mortal empires, and the death of ancient gods.

I have walked through the crumbled temples of Lemuria, and heard the final cries of Atlantis before the sea claimed her.

I have seen the Nexus fracture.

I have heard the song of countless worlds bleed into one another.

And I have watched, again and again, as the cycle repeats — pride, rebellion, ruin.

This is the story of that war.

A war that began before the concept of war existed.

A war that will end only when the last shard of the Word is reclaimed, and the Nexus is healed.

I have waited long to speak it.

Now, the hour has come.

Listen.
