There is story below the rather long preface. Page down if you must,
but don't blame me if you end up offended. The preface was written
for a reason. Ignore it at your own risk.

====================================================================
Author's Preface:
====================================================================

Four years ago, I wrote a novel that some of you may have read,
entitled "Time Out Of Time". In the following four years, some have
been disturbed by the work, and some have been enthusiastic. Some
have even requested a sequel.

"Dawn of Time" is not a sequel, in a strict sense, nor was it
intended to be. In some ways, I think "Dawn of Time" is a more
mature piece that investigates different themes, and provides a new
perspective on fantasy and reality, and things that might or might
not be. I hope that I have learned a little by some of my failures
in "Time Out of Time". But you'll have to judge the effectiveness
of that yourselves.

Please be warned: "Dawn of Time" is unlike my other works. It is
harsher and grittier, necessarily differing from my short stories.
As writers, sometimes it is necessary to explore ourselves in unique
ways. If this kind of writing is not your cup of tea, please pass
this story by. Despite its novel length, and the sweat that went
into its creation, I will not be disappointed if you decline to read
it. It is not my wish to offend anyone. To make one think, perhaps,
and to make one consider the implications of strange situations,
yes, but offend -- no.

This story does contain scenes with sexually charged content. It
contains situations that are questionable in terms of consensual
behaviour and eroticism that are probably only suitable for adults,
and then only to a subset of those that happen to understand
responsibility. Please don't assume that a scene described in a work
of fiction is safe in reality. Play safe. Please. (Do I really need
to hold your hand and tell you this?)

Like my short stories, "Dawn of Time" is not overly explicit. There
is more to Eros than pumping hydraulics and instant gratification,
and this novel encompasses this. For a piece of writing of 157
chapters, there is remarkably little explicit sex. If you are
looking for a quick stroke piece, you should probably wander
elsewhere.

Unlike many serial stories posted here, "Dawn of Time" is complete.
It took me the better part of a year to write and self-edit it -- an
exhausting but fulfilling endeavour. While I choose for sanity
reasons to release it slowly, be assured that all 157 chapters are
complete and will be posted. Please also note that this was not
proofed by outside counsel due to its length. I wouldn't push such a
task on anyone voluntarily. However, as readers: caveat emptor. I've
probably missed many silly language mistakes.

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to people, living or
dead, is purely a coincidence. Well, for the most part anyway.
Those that lived through the story are very unlikely to admit it.
The universe does not accept paradox.

This is an original work, copyrighted by the author, Crimson Dragon.
Please do not use it as if it were your own. Enjoy the writing, but
do not archive or sell it in any manner without my written
permission. I'm easy to contact if you wish to redistribute my
words.

Lastly, I thoroughly enjoy hearing from people reading any of my
stories. Feel free to contact me with raves, rants, encouragement or
dissertation (note the lack of invitation for spam). I do try to
reply to all who are kind enough to drop me a note.

Now, if you are still with me, onto the story,

====================================================================

Time is fluid.

The Universe, built on energy, matter, and Time. Undercurrents of
dimensions flow relentlessly, as though guided by consciousness, or
perhaps a higher power.

Einstein and Hawking touched the fabric of the Universe, beginning
the foundations of understanding that surround humanity -- physics,
energy, matter and, yes, Time. Aye, Time is fluid, flowing and
twisting around the fabric of the Universe -- velocity,
acceleration, and consciousness.

Consciousness sprung from nothingness, understanding elusive. Mind
over matter? Mind over Time?

But what of the occult? Spirits? Bibles? Ancient learning, only
beginning to come to light? Claims of miracles, of prophets, of
phenomenon against the sane patterns of Her rules.

But what exists without Time? Parallel universes? Pockets of cause
and effect, of effect and cause? Heaven? Hell?

Can one exist outside of Time? Can one shape Time, alter it, cause
It to flow backwards against the carved course of the river? And
what of paradox? Will the Universe allow one to kill oneself in an
earlier time? Will She reveal Her secrets, if consciousness is
persistent enough, is brave enough, is insane enough to probe that
which may rip the very fabric of existence to shreds?

Can events occur outside of Time?

Or can consciousness manipulate Time, without paradox, without
danger, without damaging that which has spawned that consciousness,
creating infinite independent timelines that criss-cross, or do not?
Cause and effect, skewed, but profound?

Einstein touched the soul of the Universe, and was frightened even
through the wonder.

Time is fluid, its course meandering and changeable.
