Chapter 1

In the vastness space of nothingness, not even a single sparks of light, there were two children, one at the very top and one at the very bottom. The one at the top is a girl called Gaia. She is a curious child, floating around the nothingness trying to discover new things that are not nothing. On the other hand, the one at the bottom is a boy called Hades. He is not as curious nor active as Gaia as he spends most of the days sleeping at the bottom of nothingness.

As many millennia have passed, Gaia did not discover anything new, all she sees was nothingness. Got bored of keep finding nothingness, she gave up the search and lie down. She looked up and then an idea hit her, “ Why not I just make some!”

She sits up straight, closes her eyes, raises both palms close to her chest, took a deep breath and concentrate her thinking on her palms. Grey small sparks started to form around her palms then all the sparks float towards the middle of both of her palms. The sparks then form into a small grey flame.

Gaia opened her eyes and couldn’t believe what she did. " I made something!", she thought to herself. She smiled at the grey flame and raises her palms closer to her face to observe it. Suddenly a pair of curious black beady eyes appeared on it. It looks at Gaia say, “Gui?”. Gaia was surprised by the grey flame speaking to her and released both of her palms to cover her eyes.

“Gui Gui?”, the grey flame float closer to Gaia’s cover eyes. Gaia took a peek, the grey flame was looking at Gaia with laughing eyes. Gaia slowly removes her hands off her eyes and said, “Hello?”.

“Gui!” The small grey flame replied and spun around Gaia. Gaia started to smile again and spin with the grey flame. Then another idea pop into her mind. She stops spinning and asked, “More friends?”. The small grey flame stop spinning around Gaia, float towards her face, stopped in front of her eyes and nodded.

“Okay!”, Gaia replied with a smile and raises both palms close to her chest, closes her eyes and concentrate. This time, white small sparks started to form around her palms and form into a small white flame. Gaia opened her eyes and looked at the small white flame. The small grey flame float towards the white flame.

“Gui?” it asked the white flame.

The white flame opened its black beady eyes and looked at the grey flame. “Wui?”, it replied.

“Gui.” the grey flames replied.

The white flames then looked at Gaia, floats upwards to her face and said, “Wui.”.

Gaia replied with a “Hello” and asked “More friends?”.

The grey flame floats upwards, stopped beside the white flame and both of them nodded. Gaia smiled back at them and start to make more friends. In a blink of an eye, she made so many new friends that she couldn’t keep track who is who. All of them were floating around her and she noticed that they glow.

"Hmmm..." Gaia wondered and closes her eyes, raises both of her hand above her head and concentrates.

Red, orange and yellow small sparks started to form around her palms, it floats above her and forms a small bright orange ball.  As the sparks keep floats above her, the ball gets bigger and bigger.

“MUI MUI!” the grey flame exclaimed.

Gaia stop what she was doing and replied, “Yes?”.

She opened her and was shocked at what she created, a tremendous bright orange ball. The ball was so big and so bright that it lighted up the whole vastness space of nothingness. It was the first time that Gaia saw something this bright and was fascinated by it.
