Before the beginning of time, the so-called universe was a vast space, bearing only two entities. You may refer to them as light and dark, but back then they were the gardener and the reaper.  These two celestial beings were the only things that existed at the time. For a while, there was peace in the so-called "universe", until there was a clash. The reaper and the gardener had crossed paths and created the black garden. This was a place that was resembled by its name. A garden. A birthplace of life. The gardener was the first to stumble across this new creation and planted its seed deep into the heart of this newfoundland. This seed sprouted life, and for the first time plants and animals roamed the grasslands and the mountains. Rivers and oceans were formed from the tears of the gardener and different landscapes were created from his hand. As life was created, death was soon to follow. After a century of peace and tranquility in the garden, the reaper came through and destroyed everything. Animals were slain, while plants were suffocated. The Reaper swept through destroying everything in his path. All the while the Gardener looked on with horror. He saw he creation being completely and utterly destroyed, and he became enraged. In the heat of the moment, the gardener fled. He traveled billions of miles hopefully losing the Reaper. After many years of traveling, having crossed billions of miles, the gardener found a new planet.  A planet which he decided would be the perfect place to create life. He called this planet earth, and he planted the seed of life deep within the earth's core. This sprouted life. Animals were born and roamed the grassy plains. Rivers and mountains rose out of the earth, and a new animal was created. They were called humans. These animals smarter than the rest and started to create and advanced civilization. All things have been going peacefully, but like all things, there is death. The Reaper will find the new land eventually, and when he does, there will be chaos.
