… and God created The Firstborn in his own image. An entity neither male nor female, dark nor light; a singular being that was both beautiful and terrible to behold. Disturbed by the power of his creation, God left it unfinished, banishing the Firstborn from reality to the Abyss, forsaken and unloved. In its place, God started fresh, the slate wiped clean. He divided his next creation into two sexes, gave it intellect, reason, emotion. He gave it the gift of love. He gave it a soul.
