The Septemvirs couldn\u2019t remain in their chamber forever just wondering about filling up the universe. Something had to change. Things did change. Ampiodus spilled shards of knowledge into the chamber. It had hatched a grand design by combining the ideas of all the guards in to one universal act of love.<\/p>

Finally, for the sake of human understanding, this part is a\u2026 as far as possible, translation of what happened next.<\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s create intelligence.\u201d Ampiodus said.<\/p>

\u201cYes, a new and wonderous universe where the Septemvirate sets the rules,\u201d Vonzerotus suggested.<\/p>

\u201cWe must,\u201d the other guards agreed.<\/p>

\u201cWhere will it be?\u201d another guard asked.<\/p>

\u201cOutside of our realm. It\u2019s the only way,\u201d Ampiodus said.<\/p>

\u201cSuch would give eons of delight,\u201d Liebedos offered.<\/p>

\u201cEach to his own realm,\u201d Ghosehidim said.<\/p>

\u201cNo, no, no. Together. Our creative powers must unite,\u201d Ampiodus explained.<\/p>

Ghosehidim was not pleased. \u201cThat saddles us. To each their own, I say.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThis will break us,\u201d Heraketadim offered.<\/p>

Liebedos just wanted to endlessly spread love. \u201cSo let it break us.\u201d<\/p>

Ghosehidim said, \u201cWe must have our own private spaces?\u201d and then shook the chamber with its avarice.<\/p>

Kusogadu had been silent. This notion appealed to them, but they contemplated a sea of flaws. This treasured idea wasn\u2019t ready. Although left unspoken, they all, knew what needed to happen next. The chamber vanished and each guard materialized in the great hall.<\/p>

Zavatrati moved into the center. \u201cWe need these,\u201d they said showing their precious creation.<\/p>

\u201cWhat is it?\u201d Heraketadim asked.<\/p>

\u201cA place to hold our dreams.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat does it do?\u201d Liebedos asked.<\/p>

\u201cNothing. We let it live and let it house our ideas. There can be all types. Ours is to give, without interfering with what happens. We can set a new universe in motion.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cLet me see it.\u201d Vonzerotus said, pulling the planet closer.<\/p>

\u201cNo, let me.\u201d Heraketadim aimed for it, causing the planet to spin as it moved closer to Vonzerotus.<\/p>

\u201cHere.\u201d Zavatrati created another globe for Heraketadim.<\/p>

With the second planet spinning a force built up between the two globes. They rotated around Vonzerotus as though they chased one another. All the guards felt Ghosehidim\u2019s delight.<\/p>

\u201cMagnificent,\u201d Zavatrati pointed to the spinning planets.<\/p>

Seeing the planets pleased Kusogadu. Doing what no other could, a burst of fire filled the Hall and then formed into a large burning globe. The size of it dwarfed the planets Zavatrati had made but it too began to spin. As if magnetized, the other planets aligned themselves to the burning globe. As the planets rotated around the ball of fire Zavatrati asked, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIt is a fire star. A life giver.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWe can build a grand universe,\u201d Ampiodus exclaimed.<\/p>

\u201cBut there are things to consider.\u201d Kusogadu said.<\/p>

\u201cRight now. This moment. That\u2019s what we have. Let me show you.\u201d<\/p>

Ampiodus stroked their knowledge centers until knowledge bolts blasted forth forming a pool in the great Hall. They dove into it, swimming there for at least two millennia. Not only did they absorb knowledge, but each formed their independent ideas for filling a universe. For the first time, they shared their unique life code in a way that let them restructure, combine and repurpose the code blocks. In there they rewrote whole sections of code, created new algorithms and then emerged changed. They had moved past their preset code to become unique. They were more than the One had made them.<\/p>

Kusogadu surfaced first. \u201cSome will pass from existence. We mustn\u2019t do this thing,\u201d it said.<\/p>

\u201cEvery septemvir must decide for themselves,\u201d Ampiodus said.<\/p>

\u201cSome will expire.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNot really.\u201d<\/p>

For several moments, which might have been a century or longer, they said nothing. There was something in the knowledge pool that disturbed Kusogadu. The Septemvirate had all come to see as Ampiodus had. They saw a completeness of purpose and design. Was this some kind of divine plan? Did every Septemvir exist for this reason, Kusogadu wondered. Did they really have a choice? Any observer, though there were none, would have believed it to be that way because every member of the Septemvirate had a specialized function, especially suited to create the universe they designed. There were no other options.<\/p>

Kusogadu took in the spirit of Ampiodus, gathered itself and then vanished from the hall. Isolated in the vastness of space it thought about the new universe. It was a powerful idea. In the guard\u2019s universe there was no permanence. It was like a giant lab where each guard fiddled with ideas. They formed and reformed all manner of things, but in the end, guardspace had limits. The whole of their universe suited them as guards. It would hold no other life.<\/p>

This new universe would exist outside their realm. It could be an endless ever-expanding bubble just like their own; except of course, they didn\u2019t know they were themselves inside a bubble. Regardless of those minor details, their new universe would have everything the guards imagined. Kusogadu wanted so many things. For one, it yearned to have a cosmic birth chamber. Such a place would harness the power of all the guards and spread life throughout the universe.<\/p>

\u201cI have troubles,\u201d Kusogadu said, returning to the great hall.<\/p>

\u201cWe are all ready,\u201d Ampiodus said.<\/p>

\u201cSome will perish.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cNot really.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cLet\u2019s reconsider this.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cDo you know why we exists,\u201d Liebedos asked.<\/p>

\u201cDo you?\u201d Kusogadu countered.<\/p>

\u201cOf course, I don\u2019t. No one does.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cBut suppose our duty is to create,\u201d Liebedos said<\/p>

Ampiodus interrupted. \u201cFrom a single thought, we seven.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWe know. We know. You touched God. But this is something different.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYes, Kusogadu. It\u2019s the beginning.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cFor you. Not for others.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cFor all of us. It is as intended.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThere is more to this,\u201d Kusogadu insisted. \u201cI saw something in the knowledge pool. At the edge, deep inside.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat was it?\u201d Zavatrati asked.<\/p>

\u201cI can\u2019t be sure. I had to squeeze into it. The truth of it nearly ended me.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cPlease, you must tell everyone,\u201d Liebedos said pulling them into a love chamber.<\/p>

The seven formed a circle to begin their mind connected communication. Kusogadu moved to the center, showing the Septemvirate what it had learned in the knowledge pool. Mingling in that mind soup, Ampiodus called for a vote. Before anyone could respond, Liebedos filled the chamber with compassion, but also manifested euphoria, trust and anticipation.<\/p>

Bam! Their chamber exploded, opening a hole below them. Just as the One had done, they created a new universe. A bubble in space, inside the cube on the same plane where they existed. If you could have seen that bubble grow, it would have looked like two universes kissing. For a time those concentric bubbles pressed together while the new universe grew bigger and bigger. As it formed, electromagnetic force went into the new bubble, taking Vonzerotus right along with it to give order to the new universe.<\/p>

Next, Heraketadim lost itself there, setting things in motion according to Vonzerotus\u2019 laws. Moments after, the guard of love and Ghosehidim coalesced into one entity. Together, they lost their physical forms to become wholly spirit. Their essence penetrated the other universe. They existed everywhere. Their spirit filled all of the One\u2019s playground. In that state they connected with the One.<\/p>

Zavatrati spewed out electrons, protons neutrons, atoms and then elements. After a time, various gases rose in the great hall before whatever remained of the guard of matter flowed out into the new universe. Droplets of their material bodies filled the cosmos. Trapped in those drops was the key to life. That thing that had caused the guards to exists, except the god essence had become miniscule, but not so tiny that it lost the power to create.<\/p>

Kusogadu, seeing the guard essence spread, infused every droplet with a spark of energy. His life algorithm had one key instruction. Survive. Kusogadu pushed stars and nebulas into the new universe. Those too he gave a renewing power. Nebulas could give birth to stars and planets. All was as the guards planned. As the universes separated, Ampiodus added knowledge to the droplets, passing into them the potential for consciousness, thus ensuring some would grow to reflect the image of the guards themselves. That act ended the creation event.Those droplets had become seeds. They would create life. The universe next door to guardspace was a glorious thing.<\/p>

They hadn\u2019t known it, but that whole slice of the void was theirs. They could do whatever they wanted. If desired, they might have created a multitude of universes. Well, now, I\u2019m getting ahead of the story. Sorry about that. Ampiodus and the other guards had created their universe. One designed by them as they came to see it in their knowledge pool. The One saw everything and it was pleased.<\/p>

The Septemvirate was no more. Only Kusogadu, Ampiodus and the guards who had become wholly sprits remained in guardspace. The One unlocked the encrypted code that had belonged to the vanished Septemvirs. They devoured it. Within them they assumed power over matter, motion and universal laws. They were eternally whole but felt intense loss. Ampiodus generated a neural network to form a god-brain. The others merged with it. They were themselves and they were each other without separation. Thus, the three became one. Together, they were a god trio. Afterall, they had universes to create.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t \n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
