In the beginning, there was only The Creator, and only him/her. The creator caused an explosion, the Big Bang, the beginning of EVERYTHING. The very first created being to emerge from this explosion was The Phoenix, in all of its blinding fiery brilliance and glory. A raptor/falconesque creature of light and flames. It helped to fan the flames of creation as stars and galaxies swirled past its flaming wings. It is a guardian and protector of creation, second only to The Creator. Its flames destroy as well as create, burning away the unnecessary to bring about something new and better. It assists the angels when asked, to fight against evil and the forces of darkness. Should it ever be destroyed, it will re-create itself from nothing, as was given to it by The Creator. The Phoenix lives in the endless universe, it wings spreading across its vastness.
