《(OLD VER.) TRX's Adventures》Chapter 7: The Beginning
Advertisement
Before the existence of time itself, there was nothing but an "egg". This "egg" contained the particles that would later form the atoms and what was derived from them. Everything was compressed in this "egg".
No one knows how or why it "exploded", but it did. In reality it did, in fact, not explode, but expanded. It was space itself.
Those particles began to separate from each other. Due to the union of these, planets and what they contained began to appear. Stars appeared. Galaxies appeared.
And that is how the universe, as we know it, appeared. - The first angel.
The Earth, the planet on which we find ourselves, was created in six days. On the seventh, the Almighty "rested" and saw that everything he made was good.
"Adam" and "Eve", the first humans, were also created on the sixth day. This whole creation process took eons, but to the Almighty it felt like a matter of days. From Creation to the fall of the world a long time has passed. Eons. Each of the demons you defeated sealed the planet. There were six of them. Each one sealed a day of creation. Because of their defeat, the planet unsealed little by little. - The second angel.
Earth, as the humans from here call it, was one of the last worlds to be created, but it was the first to fall to the influence of the Evil One, well.... One of the two. And because of this all Creation became corrupted.... I shouldn't say this, should I? Well, the thing is that you unsealed it, and dat's ok. - A guy with a red mask, with some kind of little tiny horns, golden armor that seemed to have some kind of coin of the same kind as the one TRX and the others had received and wearing a dark purple cloak said that... Talking about myself in the third person is strange.... I like it.
- Zoron, what are you doing here too? - said the Throne.

- Huh? And why do you ask? For the same reason as you. - he said, winking at him.
- Let's see, and what is my reason for being here? - answered the Throne.
- Don't go on, please, we have people here. - said one of the angels who was there, but Zoron ignored him and said.
- To gossip, then.
- Hahaha. - laughed the Throne.
- Hey, and who are you? - asked a confused TRX. - W-why are you two talking in that tone?
- Oh? Well, they are servants of the Almighty. - said Zoron. - And so... So am I, then. Sarandiel too, even though he looks like that.
- I see... - said TRX. "Sarandiel is the chair, what?"
Zoron started to walk in circles, around all of them, crossing his arms and making his face point towards the sky, while closing his eyes.
- You are surely asking yourselves: what are we doing here and what do we have to do with all this unsealing of the world, do we have anything to do with it?
- You are right, what do we have to do with all this? - said Pointy, who out of nowhere started to approach Zoron and follow him.
- Well... Maybe nothing and maybe a lot.
- What do you mean? - asked Blocky. The angels began to cover their faces, looking embarrassed by Zoron's carefree attitude.
- You see... You were only chosen to do the job of unsealing the world and helping the Hero of this world just because your world was one of the last to fall and, because of that, you were one of the purest beings in this universe.... Mmmm... Something like that, isn't it, Jehoel? - said Zoron, pointing at one of the men. - Ah, and didn't you have other things to do?
- Yes, I do. - he replied. - But this is also important.
- Enough of the chatter. - said one of the angels. - Let's take them to a very important place.

At that, everything that could be seen began to warp. Out of nowhere, everyone was in a completely different place. It was a kind of desert that had a big tree in the middle of it.
- This, my dear friends, is the Tree of Life. That's what the humans called it, mostly. - said Zoron.
- Zoron. - said one of the men.
- What? - he replied.
- Seeing how you are taking this situation, I think you are the most appropriate to explain everything to them, since you are better understood. We will withdraw, is that all right with you?
- Yes...
- All right, see you. - said the other angel.
The three angels left. The Throne stayed.
- Now, go on, go on. - said the Throne.
- Good. - Zoron said, closing his eyes and raising his shoulders, and added, addressing the group. - Do you know what day is it today?
- I don't think so... - said Roundy, shy as always and trying to process what he heard.
- That was the answer I wanted to hear! - said Zoron, cheerfully, holding up a calendar with strange symbols on it. It was English but the group didn't know it. - Today is October 23, 1844, on the Gregorian calendar created by the humans of this world. Just "yesterday" the world was sealed. A group of humans managed to decipher the date of this event, but they gave it a completely different meaning, maybe not. The Earth was sealed for eons. Thanks to you the world can now go on. None of the living beings of this world realized that? It's really true, I swear! They are going on with their lives as if nothing has happened, with the exception of one person...
- Who? - Pointy asked.
- A man named Martin Köhn, who was conscious during all that time, and was under the influence of the Evil One... I saw him. His influence is more than just telling him the truth of everything that exists, he has influenced him in his thinking and is trying to seal this world again.
- And how would he do that? - Blocky asked.
- Look.
Zoron pointed to the tree of life.
- By making this new tree perish.
That didn't look like a "new tree," it was very old.
- Not everything is as you see it. This is not really a tree. - Zoron said, without his cheerful tone. - It's just a sprout, but you are seeing it as the tree it will be in about 144 years.
- And what do we have to do with it? - asked TRX, with a defiant look.
- Miss, please don't look at me like that. - said Zoron, nervously, adjusting his armor. - Well, your mission is to guide the Hero to protect this tree. The Hero is on this planet, but you have to find him and bring him back to this place. Ah! But the Hero, being a human, will not be able to enter this place just like that. They will have to search for the eight elemental orbs, which increase the power of the one who possesses them, in order to summon the Great Serpent, the only being capable of entering this sacred ground. Martin Köhn surely knows of the existence of this serpent, so he will have already started looking for the orbs... Or maybe not. It is also quite possible that he will attack them while you are looking for them. But well, by putting up a barrier using the Hero's soul you will save not only this world, but also the universe. Now... where is the coin you were given?
- Ummm... - they all said, with dotted eyes.
- No way... Repeating this every time is kind of boring, don't ya’ think? - said Zoron.
