The surroundings had been cleaned of everything. The lake water was evaporated by the Dark Essence's shaking, the rest was absorbed by the vacuum. The trees and plants were absorbed or thrown far away by the hurricane. It was the same for the stones and dirt.

As the air was more abundant and already within the surroundings, it consumed most of the space within the Dark Essence.

Inside the Dark Essence was debris from the trees, rocks, water, and air colliding with each other.

The space within the Dark Essence was destructive. Large boulders were decimated turning into sand and dust. Trees were chipped and fragmented. Water was knife-like, slicing matter here and there while evaporating everytime it touched another form of matter. The air only created more devastation blowing matter everywhere.

Every element within the force of the vacuum was being decimated.

At the moment the Dark Essence sealed the space, the vacuum disappeared.

Outside the Dark Essence was a vast region devoid of everything. The lake was now substituted with a hollow crater. Hundreds of holes originally containing trees filled the region.

The Dark Essence completed its final task.

The Dark Essence was satisfied with the results of its test. Although it didn't expect the widespread destruction resulting from its actions.

The sealing of the space calmed most of the matter outside.

Within, was another story. The matter it had absorbed was drifting from one end to another. Every time the matter touched the perimeter of the Dark Essence's shaking, it was disintegrated but retained within. None of it leaked out.

The Dark Essence observed the havoc inside the space thinking of ways to calm it.

The Dark Essence thought about the world and the way matter interacted, "Why does matter remain still within the world. It is orderly and calm. The atmospheric air remains in the sky while trees, dirt, and water remain in the ground."

The Dark Essence was wondering about the havoc within itself.

A spark of inspiration!

It finally had a notion. The Dark Essence did not understand it yet, but a seed took place in its mind. It was an obscure comprehension seemingly containing vast truths.

Just as it began perceiving it, something interrupted its mind process.

The matter within its body suddenly relaxed. The air, trees, rocks, water, and granules remained still.

The matter didn't separate or imitate the orderly form of the world.

All movement just seemed to cease.

The Dark Essence focused upon the still matter before switching focus to the matter contacting the perimeter of itself.

The matter that touched the perimeter remained in motion. The shaking of its body caused matter to collide and hit the surrounding matter.

At the molecular level of matter, atoms were always in motion. They moved nonstop colliding with other atoms. The atoms were constantly moving and interacting with each other.

The Dark Essence perceived this movement as vibration. If the Dark Essence managed to use this newly perceived principle, instead of its shaking, it assumed the power would increase hundreds of times.

Upon closer observation, the atoms would collide with the perimeter before being launched away.

As the atoms went through the space within its body, they slowly ceased motion.

The Dark Essence did not understand why they were stopping. The shaking all together was stilled.

...

Far away from the location of the Dark Essence was an enormous tree. The bark of the tree resembled crystal. It contained the strongest vital force in the entire world. It was the divinity of this world. The Crystal Tree.

In an area within the tree resided two beings.

Those beings were the first creatures created by the tree. With skills from both the dryads and elves.

They could meld into trees the same as the dryads and had similar appearances to the elves.

The creatures always had a glow upon their skin. One was the Twilight God Elf the other was the Light God Elf. They were the gods of the Dark and High elves respectively yet also the messengers of The Crystal Tree.

Almost everything in the world originated from The Crystal Tree. Its domain extended over the entire planet.

Its roots grew from the trunk to the other end of the world. The other trees in the world were just extensions of the roots, and the plants were born from the aura of life around those roots.

When the destruction from the Dark Essence rained down upon the world, The Crystal Tree felt it and was angered by the destruction.

It began trembling. The entire world shook as if it was going to fall apart.

When the elves and dryads felt that force, they abandoned everything thing they were doing and ran. The elves entered their centers while the dryads entered their trees.

Angered by the destruction, the tree sent its messengers to the area immediately.

They departed from the tree shining with a great light as they traveled through the air rapidly. Their speed split the atmosphere creating massive sound waves.

Within seconds they had already disappeared from the location of the tree traveling very far. An afterglow of light followed after them.

...

Around half a day had passed. The Dark Essence had finally managed to understand the cause of the stillness of matter within the space.

It was not a whole understanding but enough to know what caused it.

The answer was space.

The space the Dark Essence created was a result of the separation of matter. When its body shook, Definite Material was expunged from its body. What remained within the space was Indefinite Material or dark matter.

That meant the space the Dark Essence created was similar in composition to that of the space outside the world.

The only question was why?

Why is it that there was dark matter within the material world? Wasn't everything within the world normal matter?

The dark matter produced within the sphere didn't originate from its body, it was from the environment.

Its shaking created dark matter somehow.

That dark matter remained within the confines of the shaking while the normal matter tried to fill that space from outside the shaking.

The cause behind the stillness of the matter was the encapsulation of dark matter around it. When the matter entered the space it was joining the dark matter somehow calming it.

"Oh! Dark matter must be the counterpart to matter! Matter is everything that contains volume or mass. Dark matter could be considered everything else. That's why the matter is trying to fill the space. The natural laws of the world prevent any form of solitary Indefinite Material from being within an environment of Definite Material."

"If a space containing only dark matter were to appear in the world, like the one I am creating, the natural laws would try to fill up that void with matter. Or push it out like a bubble of air underwater."

"As my body is ethereal and has no mass or volume like matter does, I can only use other methods of interaction, one like shaking." The Dark Essence finally comprehended the basic form of interaction between dark matter and matter.

The Dark Essence called the process of its shaking body separating matter and dark matter, the power of Sundering Rifts. This would be the first natural behavior its body would contain.

Once the Dark Essence finished its comprehension it began organizing the different things within the space. It separated everything into its similar substances. Boulders with rocks and sand. Trees with plants, bark, and leaves. Water with liquid. Air with evaporated water and energy.

After doing that the Dark Essence left the region.

...

Shortly after the Dark Essence left, two figures appeared above the destruction.

They observed the ruined environment that had been turned into a wasteland. The wasteland extended almost a mile in a circular perimeter.

They were distraught this was the first time they saw destruction within their peaceful world.

Twilight God Elf "What despicable cause is responsible for this!" The Twilight messenger was angered at the sight before it.

Light God Elf "No matter the cause we should fix it and look around to see if there are any hints towards this disaster."

The Light God Elf extended its hand towards the ground, within the holes originally containing trees gushed water. The ground filled with water covering the wasteland and creating a lake.

It released some dryads into the location to supervise the area and make sure no accidents occurred within the lake again.

The trees and rocks that had been thrown away were placed in a different area. The extension of the Light messenger's hand had reformed nature making it beautiful once more.

Meanwhile, the Twilight messenger sensed the atmospheric air trying to discover clues from it, "The air in this area seems to have been disrupted. Its natural cycle is in disorder."

The Light messenger observed the air understanding what the Twilight messenger was referring to, "Let us continue searching. If we come back with no definite answers for The Crystal Tree, who knows how it will react. I just hope no visitors from the neighboring planets have come to visit or else we might have trouble."

The Twilight messenger put on a grave look. It knew that any being that could travel through space definitely wasn't a simple being.
