Editing Vohu Manah (section)

==This is a story of Hope==

A single creature, unique in the Lands Beyond Creation, found his place to begin. He had weathered trials and tribulations, won prizes and favours from unnamed entities, and had forged for himself the power of his own name. Cneph took the scraps of potential and power he had gathered, and then sought his starting place for who knows how long. When he found it, he realized he had done so because before he had been looking, and now he was there. This before and after process he named Time, and it allowed a flaming dream to burn in his chest. He dreamed of a vast tree, of billions of sentient creatures living lives upon its branches, and the time it would take to build it all. He Hoped much in that time before Creation.

And then he set to work.
