I stared at the enormous sun that appeared in front of me, unsure of how to feel about the sheer, gargantuan size of the thing.

The orange and yellow fire swirled and roared in a cosmic maelstrom of heat, radiating forth from theseemingly infintely powerful heavenly body.

Though, to be honest, I wasn't quite sure how it matched up to other suns, from other universes.

My memories were pretty fuzzy...though they had gradually started to become clearer after the creation of the sun.

Was this a side-effect of creating light and darkness, all in one fell swoop?

Either way, my musings were interrupted by a strange feeling, and a strange sound.

It sounded like some enormous being let out a breath, and as it did so a power rushed over my incorporeal body, transforming it.

It felt tingly and warm, somehow reminding me of the embrace of a mother or father.

Then, my form began to change.

It was a very, very strange feeling, having a body created for you while you are still concious, and able to watch it all happen.

Was this how my children felt? No, I got the feeling that they were not concious during the process.

Anyways, it was still a little strange, and when the process finished I set about exploring my new body.

It was humanoid, like my children, with two arms, two legs, eyes, a nose, a mouth, and rounded ears.

All that.

It feels weird, having to confirm that I had all those appendages.

My skin was a healthy tan, my body and face completely androgynous, with black hair showing a hint of age in the form of white streaks.

Six appendages sprouted from my back, ever shifting and never fully visible -its was as if six wings of Primordial Chaos were stuck to my back, following wherever I go.

As soon as I thought that, I realized that was the case.

The six appendages, six columns of chaos, were just that.

Primordial Chaos, in its purest form.

What function that had, I don't know.

As for my eyes, they were...green.

That's it.

Just simple, straightforward green eyes.

(I didn't know how wrong I was in that assumption at the time.)

How I knew all this was because I could view my body in a strange, almost disembodied manner.

But, more than that, I simplyknewwhat my body looked like, how it moved, and how it worked.

This body had been created for me from the purest parts of my soul, and I knew it inside and out.

Because of that, I also knew that this single form was not the limit.

I could change.

So I toyed with my body for a while.

I transformed into a girl, I turned into a guy, the primordial chaos that followed me condensed into six balls that floated in a semi-circle behind me, and turned into great wings.

Eventually I figured out that my body could change ina pattern something like a circle, with the perfectly androgynous form at the very center.

I couldn't extend my body outside of that circle (or else it'd be considered a transformation, not a part of my 'original form'), but anything within that circle was fair game.

Strangely, I couldn't change my eye color, and my hair color would never go lighter than a deep brown, without counting as a 'transformation.' The difference between 'transformation' and 'original' being comfort.

I felt perfectly at home in an 'original' form, but upon undergoing a 'transformation,' I could clearly tell that it was no longer truly my body.

Eventually I settledinto a single form, one of a rather feminine-looking male, with shoulder-length black hair streaked with the same white as before.

My primordial chaos settled into the form of six rings, floating in a circle behind my back.

For some reason, I got the feeling that not all deities had forms as fluid as my own.

It was then that adingechoed in my mind, and a blue box appeared before my eyes.
