Marrylkian Cycle

The first thing that was; was light. It radiated in a universe of shining fury erasing all that could be, would be and was replacing it only with the burning white light of the primiodial universe. The first thing that could be distinctly called physical compared to the ever present light were the whisperers. These enigmatic being were tangles of brightness that trailed light behind them and their only creation was a great ring of carved light that spanned many, many miles that they through many lifetimes set to slowly spin faster and faster. Eventually the ring was spinning so fast that it dispersed the light around it, the few whisperers that were not resting on the ring itself and save from the effects of it's extreme spin even as they watched their companions driven away by the thinning of the light around the ring.

The light in the middle of the ring was warped by this spinning, trapped in the middle but constantly pulled at this light was crushed and pulled at until finally a tiny, almost invisible mote of difference in the middle appeared surrounded by tight cascades of the brightest light in the universe; a tiny patch of darkness where no light could reach. This mote of darkness would spell a time of great change.
