The Architect's Beginning

I've been wanting to start writing a series, I've no intention of getting published, but who knows. Any way here I am with the problem of where to go, what to start with. I've wanted a story where the universe is whole, like J.R. Tolkien and Middle Earth. I don't plan on living in the world I create as he did, but I would hope that I could create an history that is so complete you could see yourself standing with the characters in the story. So what best to begin a world, then to begin at the beginning... So here is my creation myth, enjoy.


In the age of Celestial proverbs, the Architect and the void were all that existed. The great Architect saw that this was a lonely existence. From the emptiness of the void the Architect created the Celestial Stag, everything that was and would ever be existed in this stag.
The Architect enchanted the stag with song and dance. The Celestial Stag was joyful and danced throughout the void. To the Architect's delight, with every step and twirl, a new star, planet, and galaxy was formed. Thus the void was filled with beauty and twinkling from the stag's cosmic dance.
The Architect was delighted with the spirit of the Celestial Stag, but sensed in it much loneliness. So the Architect created a companion from the new cosmic forces. A companion silent as night but wise and stoic. This Snowy Owl watched the stag as he danced and twirled among the cosmos. The wise owl knew what the cosmos needed, so she took a small planet and flew around it's form and created mountains and valleys, weather and time.
The Snowy Owl cried out to the Celestial Stag, "Come! See what I have created upon the surface of your creation! Let us bless our masterpiece!"
So the two breathed on the small world and created the elements; Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Spirit. And so combined created life on this now fruitful world.
