Massive Spoilers Below!
I said in the last blog post I would only show the first part of the first chapter, but I changed my mind, you get to read the first half of the first chapter instead. The first half below is subject to change, the editing is no where completed and I copy/pasted the story straight out of the word document (in other words, sloppy formatting below).
Enjoy!
In the distant realm of gleaming sentinels rested the secret of the universe. Among the multitude, there was one; from the stretching light that reached ever on, there was the far beacon. A solitude star amidst the deep continued to watch over its kin with pride. It was silent, it was still. All who knew of it knew only of its mystery and secrecy. All who knew of it feared it, for its presence in this universe was of something to be feared. In the cold and vast nothingness where time began, it was the first light, it was the beginning.
Overlooking the everything, it kept its gaze affixed on a lone rock in the murk of blackness. An island in the dark sea–a pebble in the sky. For it too was just as important as the secret, for its place in the universe would shape the destiny of every universe that was and is. It had held to its foundation–a prosperous and self-destructive fate that the universe anxiously watched. For it weaved the threads of the Creator’s will, interwoven in its fabric was the prophecy of the unbroken–the key to open paradise itself.
Now was not its time however, it was far from completion; but from a grand view, its intricacy could be made out. On this planet–this lonely orb–bore life that would set the key a turning. The key was not in place, nor was it near its portal, but the actions to sway it towards its goal had been set in motion. And on this planet now, in the kingdom held together by its own bleak secrets and atop the grand spires like holy torches in the coming night stood two sentient equine. For they knew not of what their roles were to be, they played the parts that were fragments of the whole. That is, the ballad of the universe.
Atop the ivory keep, a small and smart unicorn pony pressed her eye into the lens of a telescope. She was a clever filly who could rival the wits of someone twice her age. She was studious and kind, faithful and headstrong. Her name was Twilight Sparkle, and her destiny was to lead the key to its portal hole. Twilight stargazed along side her much taller mentor, who kept her sights skyward. She was of regal attire, adorned in a jeweled necklace and crown tiara lit by magical gems. She possessed a horn and wings–far superior before any of her subjects. Her white coat gleamed in the purple haze of dusk as her many-colored mane swept in an endless breeze of invisible magic. She was the ruler of these lands and her name was Princess Celestia.
The sun had fallen shortly ago and the stars had begun to twinkle out from the dimming sky. As Twilight searched the horizon for planets and nebulas, something strange had caught her eye. This something was a dot that she had never seen before, and she had been studying and mapping the night sky for months since this day. She went back towards it and focused in on the elusive star more closely. Like the speck of a sapphire gem, it gleamed like no heavenly object she had ever seen. Her heart raced with excitement as she backed away from the star gazing device, locking its coordinates in place.
“Princess,” she happily called towards her teacher, “I think I’ve discovered a new star! I’ve never seen this one before–it’s incredible!” The tall unicorn pegasus (known simply as an alicorn) stepped forward and bent her head down to peer into the lens. She searched for a moment and smiled as she backed away.
She gently informed her pupil, “You must have lost it. I don’t see anything.” Twilight panicked as she darted towards the telescope to see if she could find it. The mechanism on the spy glass was still pointed in the same degree; the young unicorn had even locked its position in place before her Princess could look into it. She soon noticed that indeed it was gone and unlocked from its viewpoint. She quickly searched around the location, but only saw blackness.
She treaded backwards and sighed with defeat, “How could it have disappeared? It was right there!” She turned and pleaded with the Celestia, “I promise I wasn’t lying, I swear!”
“Oh I believe you found a special object in our sky,” she comforted the filly, “but it’s not very new. In fact, it’s quite old.”
Twilight was a bit confused as she asked, “What do you mean?”
Celestia stepped closer towards the balcony railing, eyes lifted towards the stars beyond, “I believe you may have spotted the first light to have ever existed in our universe.” The child’s eyes grew with wonder upon her elder’s words. Celestia clarified, “You have encountered the evasive object, simply named, ‘The Dawn Fire’.”
Twilight properly deduced, “If it’s not a star, then is it a planet? How is it producing light that no star I’ve seen could give off? And where did it go?”
Celestia took one answer at a time stating, “It is not a star. From what I have read on it–and from what astronomers, astrologers, mathematicians and philosophers have noted on the anomaly–it is its only kind in the universe. It has no properties in which a star, planet, or any celestial object holds. Its light comes from an unknown source, but it has been studied enough to know that its radiance is produced from within, exerting outward. Lastly, it can only be viewed for a short time during the Summer months before it disappears into the blackness of space. The stars in the sky snuff it out with their light, and it becomes invisible again–or so we can conclude.”
Twilight looked off towards the location where The Dawn Fire was. Stars did form around this one area in the sky, and even the clouds of visible nebulas above circled around it. It was a strange occurrence that Twilight Sparkle would ponder on for the rest of her days. As of now, the hour was growing late and it was time for bed.
The secrets this object kept was a mystery that had held true for ages. None knew of its place in the universe or how it even existed. The wisest of this world knew as much as the ignorant; but something was to be known of this object. It had a history that shaped the fabrics of space and time. Its story began in the deep of space when it sang out with life, beginning the great chorus to the heavens’ existence. Its song rang forth the ballad, and from the ballad, time began.Savior of Eternity

And for my friends: for reminding me I had worth in this world.(Part 1)
(Origin)
From nothing sprang life. Light leapt from the darkness and it has been traveling over an endless journey since the beginning. The most prominent of creations from this light was the Creator. The Creator is a mysterious being, never revealed but always present. He sought to create and mold time and space around him, and so he did. First, he shaped the realm around him, this is known as Eternity. Eternity was fragile and weak, so he created its foundations, the laws of the Infinite Protocol. He then pierced Eternity and created two separate realms within the same space, one larger to fit the other. The greater realm is known as Anunimun, the smaller realm was known as Katkahas. The greater was governed solely by the Infinite Protocol, whereas the lesser was governed by nothing.
In the newness of all life, still he was alone and he sought to create life himself–for creating life is the greatest of gifts. He constructed a being of his image and this being was known as the Divine. He instructed the Divine to form within Katkahas its own creations, and to watch over it from within Anunimun where it must reside to withhold its form. As the last of the Creator’s instructions were given upon the Divine, he left to watch over Eternity. The Creator had mended the book of Eternity, and now the Divine was to write its story.
The one Divine sought out the first light, The Dawn Fire, and from its flames it weaved together the first universe, placing it within Katkahas. The Divine then formed its own laws and systems to uphold balance within its universe. When law was given, life was birthed and within the universe it thrived. The Divine rested, knowing that it had become a master of its own design, much like its master, the Creator.
As time passed, flaws began to arise within its universe. Even though the Creator was flawless in his design, the Divine could not create a perfect design. In desperation, it sought to uphold its realm, so it created the Spirits. The Spirit beings were allowed to travel through both Anunimun and Katkahas and interact vocally with the Divine’s designs–whereas the Divine could not. If they were to truly be able to interact within the physical plain of the universe's reality, they would need to give up their spirit forms and abilities. They were of higher making than the beings within the Divine’s universe, but also more prone to be swayed by corruption. When the Spirits, both good and evil, could not aid in saving its universe, the Divine devised a flawless mechanism that would insure a perfect universe. It would take a great deal of time to create this paradise, and it knew this well and thought long on proceeding to go with its intentions.
Within Katkahas, the Divine formed the end of the chain and waited for its universe to end. When time collapsed on itself within its universe, its actions were set in motion. The Divine choose a single sentient being from within the old universe and granted him its power, and that being became a Divine itself. This was the first law of many declared by the Infinite Protocol: The first Divine must choose another from within the previous universe to become a new Divine for the next universe. No one Divine can interact or control with another’s universe.
Once the new Divine was chosen, it was instructed to create a universe of his own design; and when he accomplished this, the universe formed a new link in the chain with its own timeline, its own laws and its own creations. From the old universe, the original Divine brought over the more perfected elements and objects from within that link in the chain to carry over to the new universe. The system was in place, the chain had begun. Whenever a universe would end, the last Divine would choose a new Divine from within the last universe and would also carry over the more perfected pieces of the old universe. Over Eternity, each universe would be more perfected than the last, and eventually paradise will be achieved._____
The chain, a timeless relic of the old Divine, stretched on over countless links. With every new link, they strove ever closer to the perfected universe; though over time, this was not enough. The Divine–now large in number–wished to shorten the time to paradise and to call their Creator back to them in hopes that he would aid them. They sought to create something new–inside of Anunimun–that would gain the attention of the Creator. Four they chose, four of the wisest and fairest Divine, to seek and create this ultimate masterpiece.
The four first carefully took two threads that were the fabrics which held Eternity together. The two threads of light–known as Ethereal Energy–were used in mending together the form of a great sword. From the flames of The Dawn Fire, they forged a weapon to contend with the Creator. From the molten purity of creation, they poured untainted life energy into its cast–perfect and flawless. With every strike of their hammers, galaxies were birthed in the sparks that flew. When their design was completed, they presented the celestial blade before their fellow Divine. They praised the workmanship of the sword and named it Omensis, the all powerful blade of Eternity.
Its beauty could not be contended, its strength could not be matched. Each side contrasted the other upon the blade’s face; one side gleamed of the blackest void, and the other was gilded of the most radiant light. From head to hilt, it spanned across a universe’s length; and in a single swing, it would tear apart the fabrics of realities. Omensis was worshipped by the Divine, who knew that now their Creator had truly fled them and that they were the highest form of life within Eternity. For eons, they situated the sword for all Divine to see and know of its glory, not knowing that they had sown the seed of their own demise.
I look forward to the complete and edited chapter!

Thank you! This how I interpreted your comment.

Surprisingly, that was what had happened.
I find it inspiring that you are continuing this epic. I wish I had a consistent muse to allow me to even begin typing my own stories. I know my problem is that my brain sees too much, too quickly for my hands to be able to catch up. This causes me to loose sentences and in extreme instances, loose whole paragraphs of material. I need something to find something that will slow my cognitive processes. Maybe I should try drinking before writing....
As I said before, keep going strong.

Write drunk, edit sober. That's Ernest Hemingway's strategy.
Im thinking the Dawn Fire is a White Hole as it is an inverse of a Black Hole. Thus it would spew forth light, energy, matter, etc and Omensis is the Infinity Blade let's face it. Death to the Deathless Secrets.
