How long the developing awareness of Alpha gestated in the dark cannot be said. Time was a novel idea, not yet confined to rigidity by the passage of stars or the mechanics of clocks, and a fraction of a second was indistinguishable from an eon. In whichever measurement of time, we might choose to ascribe, Alpha grew, evolving its existence into sentient awareness, repelling the darkness with light, condensing shapeless void into matter and form. As Alpha matured it expanded and kept expanding, through space and through dimensions beyond those that we comprehend. As it grew it filled the voids with ever-turning spheres that burned with elemental fires. And it made worlds of earth, water, and winds, on which walked beings that had something of the nature of their creator. So, with the growth of Alpha the Cosmos was formed.
