Hope this is the right section.
OK, so with my world I'm literally building it up from the beginning. I know the origins of most of the inhabitants and the world they inhabit. I know my creation story, but I'm stuck stuck stuck! on the opening paragraphs. I'm attempting to describe a lone being and events in a void before any kind of time existed. She (i assume and kind of like the idea) that in this timeless void she experiences all things at once, but I'm becomming very confused as to how to depict this.
If I could just get my sense of time or timelessness right, I could fly through it. I already know what happens. Here are the first few lines. It's about as rough a draft as rough drafts get (archaic words with modern and quite disjointed, basic) so it will likely bug the hell out of those of you who like to nit pick. I think you'll get what i mean when you read it; no need to worry about how to pronounce the names. I put them in because if I don't use my language it goes undeveloped. Italics are lines I'm debating whether or not to use.
In a time before time, ere the Gods we know shaped the earth and men trod her many paths, ere e’en those that birthed the Gods themselves were made, there was the great void Täteliún wherein Chaos dwelt alone; and there she abideth, -at the beginning and the end, in all moments- Telå Täteliún. There was then a disturbance, of something that wasn’t, something that hadn’t been but now was, something that had been but now wasn’t and it washed over Chaos as the ocean waves of Earth that were yet to be. And then, all at once and never, it ceased and Chaos was again alone…..
Hope you get what I mean. It gives me a headache. Someone with a good knowledge of physics may be a big help. But all advice is welcome and greatly needed.
And for those of you who are just curious.
Täteliún - The Great Void.
Telå Täteliún - Absent time in the Great Void.
EDIT: It is also nearly 5 in the morning for me.
