Creation of Man

by ~CatWitch1987

Once upon a time, there was nothingness then the creator fashioned herself into being. As time went on she enjoyed creating other things out of nothingness. She made planets and stars and filled the nothingness with their beauty.

She longed for one who could speak to her in the way a true companion could and so she was very lonely. She thought about this for a very long time as she knew how to make planets and stars out of nothingness but her companion would have to be made of something else. Her thoughts began to take the form of a thread and from this thread she wove a beautiful maiden. She called the maiden Spinner and herself Weaver. Weaver and Spinner enjoyed creating the planets and stars but together they worked to make plants and trees.

They began to realize that although they were content in their companionship and they wanted another companion. Weaver knows that as with Spinner it must come from themselves if they want an equal and so Weaver and Spinner spin all the wisdom they have and weave another companion. This companion was unlike Spinner and Weaver in that she was as dark as Spinner and Weaver were bright. They named her Cutter. Spinner, Weaver, and Cutter continued to build out of nothingness all the planets, stars, plants, and trees but together they could also make something completely new, animals.

As Weaver looked upon all the animals with their mates and families, she realized how lonely she was for a mate of her own. Therefore, Weaver called on Cutter for advice to cure her loneliness. Cutter tells her to create a spindle that houses every emotion one could feel so that it would create a thread from the heart rather then mind or nothingness.

Weaver asks Cutter, "What is the sense of this when she could merely think a man into her thread and weave him herself."

Cutter in response tells her, "One could think a man into existence but you will continue to be lonely because it will be nothing but a masculine version of yourself. Spinner and I are merely different versions of you. Spinner is the younger hopeful one and I the wiser realistic one. You have to give him the ability to feel everything and think for himself."

Weaver then sets to her task compiling all her emotions into building this spindle. Finally, Weaver completes her spindle and hands it to Spinner. Cutter then directs Spinner "Don't think your thread into being but instead feel the thread into being and then the spindle will work."

Spinner sets to work but is soon meet with disappointment for she tries and tries but she cannot get any thread to appear. She soon gets frustrated and despairs for Weaver, then all of a sudden it starts to work. The thread however is heavy, coarse, and ugly. Weaver looks upon the thread Spinner has created and cries. Spinner tries and tries to no avail to create a different thread.

Weaver becomes impatient and steals all the thread Spinner has finished and weaves it into beings. These beings are crude and ugly but they are beings that think for themselves. Unfortunately, these beings begin to turn evil and harsh, attacking Weaver. They want to control her and her power over life itself.

Weaver begs Spinner and Cutter for help to combat these evil creations. Cutter scolds Weaver for her impatience but tells Spinner to spin a thread of honor, loyalty, and strength. Spinner who finally understands the spindle spins as quickly as possible. Weaver then weaves the thread into warriors to combat the evil demons. The creation of the guardians has kept back the demons but they are equally matched. This leads to a standstill.

Weaver looks on what she has done and talks to Spinner. "I have created such ugliness and such beauty but still my companion is not among them. Not only is my companion not among them, but they are destroying all our beautiful creations. What are we going to do to change the tide of this war?"

Cutter upon hearing Weaver tells Spinner and Weaver, "You filled one thread with ugliness because you couldn't understand your task, and the other you filled with the ideas of chivalry, these things separately create good and evil. You have to spin these things together along with the love you feel for your creations. This will allow your new creations to choose between good and evil and to feel love for their companions and others around them if they choose. These choices will change the tide of this war."

Spinner takes up the spindle with Weaver and both working to create a thread so fine and pure it is weightless and strong. Weaver then weaves the threads of chivalry, evil, and love into one. With this thread, she begins to weave together a new creature but Cutter stops her. "This creature will not live forever like your demons and guardians do, I will cut their threads after their time is done." she tells Weaver.

"Why?" Weaver pleads. Cutter explains, "Unlike your demons and guardians, I will give them the ability to have young. If they continue to reproduce over time, they will be burdened with their population. So with life comes death." Weaver finishes her newest creation although she despairs over their short life span. She then places them on a beautiful planet and shows them how to prosper on this planet.

Spinner, Weaver, and Cutter watch over their newest creations guiding them, but always giving them the ability to choose their own fate. The choices they have made give strength to the side they choose. If they benefit their world, the side of good wins a battle. However, if they choose to destroy then the evil wins. In the end when Cutter cuts their thread, they move on to a better life or move on to learn from their mistakes in a new life.
