HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Long before our galaxy was even a thought, beings of unfathomable power were tasked with creating life. Two of these were Life and Energy. They loved each other and took great pride in their creations. However, not even gods are immune to the effects of boredom.

 

Energy became bored of their repetitive tasks. To cheer them up, Life created four animals to take Energy gifts, hoping that they would serve as adequate distractions, ordering them to arrive in a designated order according to Energy’s interests. The elephant took the lead, carrying perfume and incense, followed by the deer with gold and jewels and the frog carrying every seed that would ever exist. The fox came last, carrying fresh ingredients for baking. 

 

The prideful fox did not know baking was Energy’s favourite hobby and thought its gifts far too mundane for one of his importance. Thus, the fox decided to sabotage the other animals to prove their carelessness while emphasising his reliability. With strength and determination, the fox shoved the frog before him, causing all the animals to fall and their gifts to scatter. However, the fox did not expect that his gifts would also break. Nor did he expect the frog’s seeds to merge with the ingredients he carried.

 

The distraught frog scraped the mess together, trying to save whatever he could. Sadly, he could not separate the botanical seeds from the cracked eggs and flour, creating a strange dough instead. The more he kneaded, the more the dough hardened until it became a deformed cake. His imprints created mountains and rivers, reshaping the cake's surface into a habitable world. 

 

The freedom-loving frog's blood ran cold. Not only did he accidentally create a world, but also creatures that sprouted from the seeds embedded in the cake, each a confirmation that his carefree life was about to change. Having heard the commotion, Life and Energy rushed over to see what had happened. They wasted no time banishing the fox to the outer reaches of space as punishment. On the other hand, the frog was promoted to nearly the same level of importance as Life and Energy, having proven himself capable of creating life.

 

But the frog was not interested in creating galaxies. He was determined to maintain his freedom even though he knew that this new world was now his responsibility. Thus, the frog tied the cake to his back and named it “Fistbump The Sky” as a sign of victory before hopping away. Steadily, as the Great Frog’s world grew, so did the fox’s hatred for his former friend. He vowed to destroy Life and Energy’s universe, starting with Fistbump the Sky to help them realise their foolishness for his banishment.
