Cauldron

It was a void, an area that was neither in one dimension or another. To enter into it was to become something different, something beyond the limits of the universe they knew. The original shape and form was lost, all that remained was the soul, the essence of the being boiled down to its purest form; a glittering, gem like structure called a Star Seed.

It is here that all things return, it is here that all things come. People often speak of promised lands, of places where one goes after death, be it a paradise or a pit of eternal damnation; this is the origin of these legends and myths. Be it by force or will, when all things die, they return here, to face a rebirth.

Even the universe as it is known, in all its size and splendor is not immune to the power this place holds; when the time comes, it too will collapse into here, its very center. It will flow into this place, it will lose all shape, all form, all reality and be reborn into a new universe, with new possibilities. It has been so for an infinite number of times, and so shall it for an infinite number of times in the future.

Here, good and evil are at an inverse to the universe beyond itself, it is here that balance for the whole of reality that it is the heart of is preserved and maintained. If the universe is evil, it will give birth to good, and if the universe is good, evil will be reborn. The force these agents of balance take are either hailed as heroes or scorned as vile villains... but, the title they take is always the same; Sailor Senshi

Yes, from this place are born the seeds of the Senshi, be they good or evil. They are forever destined to be in opposition of the one who can transcend the death and rebirth of the universe, they will forever be locked in a war with the first child of this place, the one who is forever meant to shape the principles of the universe itself.

Chaos, a name scorned or beloved at an inverse to the Senshi, the being so hated in the current universe... it is this being who is at the very heart of all this. From the children of its many parts, the Crystals who forged the galaxies and gave rise to life, its nature will show itself; for if the beings it created are good or evil, so too will it become.

From that moment forward, the Sailor Senshi born of this so called promised land will be in direct opposition of Chaos, and its agents. They will seek to cease the existence of Chaos, a goal that can never be fulfilled; but the quest to do so will keep balance in the universe until its dying days.

But even so, there are times when the balance is disturbed, and the universe must end, lest it become a mockery. For in this way, Chaos will become the herald for the ends times; it will come to this center of all things, return to the womb that gave it birth and take what it wishes for the most; the power of a Sailor Senshi.

Yes, in this way, Sailor Chaos, the Herald of Destruction will be born! Chaos will take upon itself a true, physical form; she will be a Sailor Senshi, one that should never exist; composed of both the will of good and evil, she will be a contradiction to the law of reality. From her hands will come light and darkness, her very soul twisting and churning. Her power will tear the fabric of all things asunder as she wages her war upon those that would oppose her... until, finally, balance is disturbed enough for control to be lost.

The good and evil in her will stir, the dominate force in the universe will seek to devour the other half, and from this act she will scream; it will be the death knell of the universe. The very fabric of reality will distort, matter will seem to rupture in all directions as the universe tears itself apart, indeed matter will cease to exist, enough to start the Big Crunch.

Herself torn apart by this, Sailor Chaos will die, and Chaos will once again be itself, but also not itself. It will know the error of its way, it will come to realize that it must return to the heart of the universe, to the womb once more. But, as the universe collapses, it will not return for power, but for salvation of all things.

All souls of all things will return to the center, all the Crystals that comprise the true self of Chaos will return. Combining and merging, they will make Chaos whole once more... its memories of infitine universes past shall return. As the universe comes crashing down around it, Chaos will renew the Crystals, the souls; they will become neutral, their will reset. As the universe cries in death, Chaos will tear itself apart with all its might.

In the instant the universe dies, Chaos will become one with the heart, and thus shall see the death... and the rebirth. In the moment of the next Big Bang, Chaos will spread its seeds, the Crystals amongst the newly birthed reality to become the hearts of the new galaxies. They will seed life with neutral souls, to gain a will of their own.

Thus, good and evil will rise, and the dominate one will be decided not by fate or the hand of a god, but by their own hearts and impulses. With this, Chaos will reform in a partial form, its outlook reflecting the dominance of its children and the need for balance will once more rise as a sea of pleas for help.

The heart of reality, its existence called so many things but always known simply as The Cauldron will answer these pleas... it will give birth to Star Seeds of great power and importance; Sailor Crystals, the very essence of a Sailor Senshi. They will be cast out amongst the stars, to find a place that will give them life, give them form, give them a reason to exist.

Be it good... or evil...
