|Chapter 2| Grey

For there to be everything, there must be nothing. For there to be nothing, there must be everything...

Before the world, we know today. It was Grey. Just the color. No air, no light, no ground, no sky. It was nothing but grey... or gray. Depends on how people spell it out I suppose.

The grey reaches out infinitely. It was always spreading out, never reaching an end. As time flowed without being there... something came to be. Two things at once. A part of the grey became... darker. Another part of the gray became lighter.

Two colors were born on a day that never existed.
The color of Black, and the color of white. These colors were limited and went through the endless grey. Once they meet a spark of something new comes to be as the colors gain shape once given shape they are given names.

The Nothing formed through the black color while The Everything formed through the white color. With the shape and name, they were given thoughts and meanings to themselves.

To understand themselves more they took ideas and the opposite of ideas into themselves which gave their thoughts a voice. The first words they spoke marked their entire being.

"This space is endless..." They said in unison. There voices one. Then their voices changed.

"I want it to grow forever." The Everything spoke. It's become the definition of growth. Their voice echoed endlessly but was loud.

"I want to understand it forever." The Nothing spoke. It's become the definition of knowledge. Their voice hit the heart but was quiet.

Together with their new-sounding selves, they explored the endless grey around them. They did not need direction since there was none. The everything made it so the grey could grow forever while the nothing looked for meaning behind the grey. They both soon grew restless.

"I wish for there to be more than grey." They spoke in unison again. The Everything wished for endless growth that could be more than grey, while The Nothing wished for something that could never be fully understood. A knowledge that was endless forever.

They took each other's hands without understanding what they were and together created something they both wished for. Colors sparked from their fingertips all at once. Every color is created at once. The colors spread around at random giving life to the world around them. The colors spread at random.

The Everything lets the colors spread endlessly so they can forever grow like the grey.

The Nothing wanted meaning behind the colors and let them spread in a specific matter. They guided the Red and green below them to become ground. They pushed the blue, indigo, and violets above them to become the sky. Then let the orange and yellows take everything in between.

"I like it this way." The Nothing stated.

"Let's let the colors mix, just a little." The Everything is suggested. The Nothing agreed and let the Everything take hold of the colors allowing them to mix. Still letting a large base of colors take the ground, Sky, and in between.

"The sky will be bigger than the ground since it holds more color." The Everything started and the sky grew much bigger than the ground.

"The ground is stable like us two, let it be where we live." The Nothing commands to the ground. It did as asked. They took time making and adding definitions to the ground and let their colors and the grey seep into the colors that already have a place.

The Everything loved the sky and made the stars and planets. It became space.

The Nothing loves the ground and makes mountains, rivers, hills, plains, and caves.
