-Hal-
Hal stood behind the Avatar of chaos who had introduced himself as the creator of the Primordial Cosmic Grimoire, the Primordial Will.
Ha watched him have a staring contest with the monk,
"You've been busy," The monk said with a light smile on his face.
Primordial will scoffed,
"Not nearly as busy as you," he said in response and for a few more seconds, the two stared at each other in silence, and eventually, the Monk sighed as he said,
"You can't stop ... I will get what I want... it belongs to "
Primordial will shrugged,
"Oh, I know that. I'm not going to try to stop you from getting it" he said and this ti, Hal did not only perk to their words but also decided to take part in the conversation with a simple and confused,
"Excuse what?"
Primordial Will turned to face him,
"It's how things are kid. What, did you expect to fight him on your behalf? My goodness, you can't possibly be that naive... I'm only here for the show"
As he spoke, Primordial will stepped aside and the monk took sure steps towards Hal who felt the strong feeling of helplessness returning and getting stronger the closer the monk got to him.
Hal took one step back but it was not an attempt at escape which he knew was impossible but rather it was a reflexive reaction to put so distance between himself and danger.
The hatred for that feeling returned in full force but what Hal hated the most was the confusion he was feeling... He had no idea why he was feeling what he was feeling.
He had no idea why they wanted sothing from him. He had no idea why he had to feel this way...
The implication of what was happening ant that he (Hal) had been sohow connected to both forces of creation and to a certain point, they had been manipulating him long before he even knew they existed.
The thought of being manipulated was probably scarier than even the touch and effect of the monk were.
When the monk touched him, Hal ignored him and rather delved into his bloodline to force out the one that he believed was the Nexus of this whole situation, and finally, Nihasa exited his bloodline to actually beco a fairly physical form in the hall.
Beautiful as she always and exuding the power and authority of the Prival that she was, Nihasa beco the fourth individual in the hall and at the sight of her, Primordial Will turned his face away while the monk had a neutral look on his face.
Nihasa however had her head held high as she acknowledged all that was going on in the hall with Hal stuck in place and being incapable of moving as the monk prepared to retrieve what was his.
"Traitor" Primordial will said.
The monk however just chuckled as he said,
"Nihasa chose the winning side... She saw rit in my plans... Now, where was I? Ah yes..." as he spoke, the monk finally made contact with what he wished to retrieve from Hal's body.
Hal knew it was likely to be unsuccessful but he still tried to use his connection to the monunt to sohow make it out of the private section as he had once done...
That failed as the monk had shut down any hopes of that by cutting off any connection that Hal might have had with the Monunt of Ordinances which further hamred it ho that he (Hal) was trapped.
However, while a connection to the monunt and a possible reprieve was gone, Hal could still reach for what the monk was retrieving and he used it to fire a connection with Order itself...
It only took a second and Hal's consciousness left the hall and traveled into mories... mories that surpassed his know-how... He delved into the mories of the Primordial Principle of Order itself.
There was nothing hazy about mory... There was nothing weak about it... Injured as the Principle of Order was, its mory was very much intact but it was not of a type that Hal was used to.
You see, at the start of creation, Order did not have a human form or even sothing close to it and hence could not and did not communicate as Hal and any other life-form could.
It was like looking into mories that surpassed one's existence and understanding and because Hal was intruding into the said mories without permission, it was not dumbed-down for him.
Before he even tried to understand what was being expressed in those mories and then translate them into a normal manner of speaking, Hal felt his mind swelling and getting bloated to the point where he felt like his head would quite literally explode.
He was trying to understand sothing that he should not have been trying to understand...
That said, Hal was able to alleviate the head-exploding phenonon with the use of his Sovereign Dao which was sohow available to him as he delved into the mories of Order but had been unavailable when he had been trying to escape Order's grasp.
That was the only part of it that surprised Hal and he was not surprised that his Sovereign Dao was capable of such...
Why was he not surprised?
Well, back when he comprehended his Dao, Hal had known that it had quite practically been the first aspects/principles that ca to be during creation which had been set off by Order and Chaos.
His Sovereign Dao had always had a connection to this distant past and this was especially evidenced by the fact that, while he was comprehending the said Dao, he had been able to take a sneak peek into the said distant past.
Once Hal alleviated the head-exploding phenonon, he was much more able to see and understand the mories of Order.
(Whatever you read going forward is Hal's interpretation of what he saw in Order's mories. If you had seen the sa things that he did, you might have interpreted them differently.
One thing is constant though; Order and Chaos existed before all things and through them, all things were created)
A ti before Ti, it is unquantifiable when exactly this took place, and looking into the mories of Order, Hal understood the Principle to be lacking emotion.
While it existed with only one other (Chaos), Order had not been happy, it had not been sad, it had not been hungry, it had not been satisfied...
It had not hated and it had not loved...
If there was one thing that Order did want and sothing that did interest it, it was an interest in uniformity... It liked things to be orderly... Quite a contrast to its counterpart which preferred chaos.
It is unknown if Order was nad such because of its interest in uniformity or if it had been interested in uniformity because of what it was nad.
At the very beginning, there was nothing to be arranged, nothing to be put in order apart from its unruly and chaotic counterpart but Order would never try that.
The two had always existed, sohow as distinctly different parts of a whole, and never had Order had the thought of battling Chaos.
And then the spark happened...
What caused the spark you might ask and the answer (as far as Hal was concerned in regards to Order's mories) was that the spark had been caused by a coming together of Order and its distinctly different counterpart.
According to Order, this had not entirely been spontaneous... Once again, as there was no concept of ti at this point, it is unknown how long the process of the creation of the spark had been.
Why was there a need for the spark?
Were Order and Chaos not just satisfied with their monotonous existence?
Could it be that, on so level, Order and Chaos possessed the emotions that their creations would co to possess and wanted an empire to rule... Maybe in the shadows?
The spark that was ford set off a chain of reactions and formations that resulted in creations all of which were further helped along by the slightest touches of Order and chaos.
Principles were born, concepts (smaller concepts compared to Order and chaos) ca to be and the more the universe spread all about, the more principles were ford... Each to affect a certain aspect of so world or so being.
For example, the concept of life did not co to be until the first being ca to be and what naturally followed (on account of heavy influence by Order who delighted in uniformity) was death.
The concept of souls ca into play and due to an orderly need to have there be a place for the said souls, the Nether realm was ford and beca the only other realm that had ford at this point.
At the ti, there were only two realms that first existed; The living realm, and the Nether realm, and all of creation were closely followed (aided) by cosmic energy, a direct but (at this point) overlooked product of the spark.
It was not overlooked for long though because sowhere during the whole slew of creations all resulting from the spark ca the first wielders of Cosmic Energy...
... The Ten Agents of creation that would eventually be known as Privals.
