Part 4-The Cascade

Living beings had the power to harness Light. They could spread their light, to expand the world faster than the Source could on its own.

With more world, filled with light, more people could arise faster. And with more life around, light could be spread even faster! Eventually, so much world was created, so fast, that parts of the world were able to generate spirits of their own. They got their own, heart-shaped sources of light. Each one of those sections became worlds in their own right. They could have their own rules, and their own forms of life. These worlds were still interconnected, though. If you traveled far enough, you'd go through the boundary of one world, and end up in another, just like that. No interdimensional gateways required.

You might be wondering why so many worlds seem to have independently developed the language of Common. The reason why is simply because they all came from a common ancestor. The language was developed before the worlds split apart, and so, it is spoken in multiple of these worlds.

This continual growth of light continued to cascade. The number of worlds grew at an accelerating rate. The rate of the acceleration.. was also accelerating.

It seemed as if this was going to continue indefinitely. And perhaps, if history took a different path, this could have indeed been the case. However, the Cascade did not go on forever. Because eventually, darkness would rise.

But before we get into that, we'll first have to go over how darkness was created in the first place. And this will be the focal point... Of Arc II!
