Emotions.

By Michael Feuerstein

Ever wonder how we got emotions, felt the pain of heartache, or the ecstasy of love, or the hate of jealousy. Well this story explains how it was given to us mortals. It all started with the great Gods Infinity and Devine they were brother and sister children of the Nothing, of the Spark. When they wed Infinity gave her a present, he created a universe as a wedding gift with multiple amounts of life so she could be always entertained would never be bored she fell in love with there beauty created in there own image but made so fragile. One day she went down to a planet called Glanturla a place of no pain for there were no emotions, but that was a lie. The people were killing without any emotions no concence. Nothing but lust love didn’t exist. So she went back up to the stars, and talked with Infinity and asked if he could grant them emotions and not live a world with no heart. He said emotions would only bring hate and chaos. Devine said "This is chaos." and for the first time in a long time there was anger amongst the lovers. They came to an agreement. That he would let 1 of his creations have emotions. So he gave her a necklace that if worn would give on of the creations emotions. A necklace called ”Innocence.” So Divine looked for the most beautiful creation. It was huddled in-group of leaves under this forever night cursed to never awaken to daylight. She went up to him and put the necklaces on his neck. Then kisses his forehead gently and softly in efforts to wake. His eyes open slowly. Looked up confused and then fell to the ground. All these emotions you could tell were flowing through him. She went to him and rapped her arms around him. Asking him " are you aright." He said to her with a smile and teary eyes. "What is happening?" In return she replied" you have emotions and you feel, unlike the others." he said back" Is this a Blessing or a curse?” Devine said” its whatever you want it to be.” Then he said back” Thank you I shall cherish it.” Then kissed her gently on the cheek. Then she got up and started to walk away he called back to her saying" don’t leave forever come back and visit me it would get lonely without you. She smiled and said, "I shall." She came back now and then to say hello. But as they days went by she came to more of liking of him and as did he to her. But went unnoticed until one day he fell into a sadness for he was jealous that he could not be with her and was about to take his life. That’s when she pulls him into her and kisses him. He whispered the words love into her. Infinity got so maddened by this and took a star from the heavens and shot it down at him. It broke the necklace and Emotions went shattering everywhere through out the world of Ganturla & was absorbed into every living creation. Now every creature had emotion. He was in such rage by his mistake that he put his first born into emotion up on the sky and lit him on fire to never die but to always feel the scorching of the flames of his desire as it burned him for eternity and he became the sun. But there was thing he couldn’t destroy love itself that true flame burned forever in his chest and could never be extinguished and let a warm ray beat down onto a cold world. It changed forever. The Beginning of a new age, with anger, happiness, sadness, and love. An age of emotion.
