At first, there was nothing, just darkness, and forward from the darkness came Kurayami, but his longing for a partner and someone to share his emotions with came to Raito, the light. When Kurayami and Raito joined, they created the three other elements. From their sweat, blood, and tears, the oceans rose, from their waste grew the earth, and from the passion and warmth in their hearts grew the fire. And with each additional element, a deity emerged alongside. Hi sparked out of the flames, Chikyū grew from the soil, and Mizu formed from the froth of the waves. It was from these elements and the gods that come with them that our world was created. And it was through more love and creation that the distinctions of our earth grew. From the bond between the earth and the water grew springs, rivers, and lakes. With the love of fire and water was the sky and clouds created. From the love of fire and earth, volcanos emerged and mountains flourished. And from the mix of elements, creatures arose, the giants of the mountains, the dragons of fire and ice, the serpents of the sea, and the bulls of the field.
