Prologue
The emptiness around was reassuring. No sound, no movement, no life. He felt nothing but a few distant ties with other beings like him. He needed a break since he found out he would have to pick up his coat again. However, this time he will not suffer. He is no longer a helpless child locked in a closet, scared for their life.
A soft glow illuminated his face. He opened his eyes and looked around at the almost unchanging landscape. Over there! In front of him! The tiny light gently danced in the darkness of the void and with every moment it got bigger and warmer. He smiled and whispered.
"You've already decided to create a new life, right Chaos?" A single tear ran down his cheek. Aeons he spent here in the universe observing the life of the planets and ultimately their destruction. The entire universe has been destroyed. Every single planet and entire galaxies have disappeared. There is a void. But now he is finally creating new ones. He will finally be able to live, not like …

Why does it still hurt so much?!
Why can't it just go away?
They betrayed me, so why should I care?

Just…
…
They all passed away, so why does it still hurt?

There was an explosion. A planet was created that was much larger than Earth. Stars were created, much more beautiful than the previous ones. Beings also arose. Chaos gave them a planet to protect it. They called themselves Valars. He came ashore and wandered, watching them create lives in the world. He saw many elves, dwarves, men and creatures whose legends have long been silent, and only a few have lived long enough to mention at least one of them.
Sometimes, he thinks, what would have happened if one of those creatures crawled from the depths to the surface? Who would it kill, and by whom would it be slain? Or maybe Maiars, by the Valars’ order, would come and end the miserable lives of these monsters? Who knows?

Now, the interesting events have just begun. I think it's time for you to know what really happened.
It was in 2941 the Third Age ...
