Unfortunately I couldn't get the audio recording to link to this blog once I figure it out i'll post it but for now this is my cosmology. I'm sure I have some grammatical errors here and there but this is the general idea to start off with.
The creation myth of the triumvirate of Cerberus
my Cosmology:
The universe was created by a great humanoid being of light that expelled it's energy to fill the darkness with the light of stars and planets. With every new thing that creator made it used up more energy and over time became weak. Unbeknownst to the creator the excess power surging throughout the darkness gave life to another being, a massive shadowy wolf with a thousand eyes. The wolf beast skulked through the darkness and devoured various stars releasing their energy back into the universe and the creator itself. At first the creator was angered that the beast was eating up its creations till it realized that every time a star died the creator would gain back it's energy and became strong enough to give new life to new planets and stars.
For a time this was the cycle, the wolf beast would devour old stars while the creator gave life to new stars, the two massive beings became companions allowing each other to survive. After many centuries the creator longed to fabricate others like itself and give them the power to give life, coming across a solar system the creator chose a planet orbiting a yellow star and poured it's energy into the tiny rock. The creator watched as the crust shifted and water formed onto the surface, the creator poured more of it's energy into the world and watched as trees and mountains grew from the earth, finally the creator poured even more energy into the world and humanoids began to form. The creator thought about the beast fondly and formed many more creatures so the humanoids could have companions of their own. The creator looked upon the planet fondly but as it turned to leave it felt weak, suddenly it's legs degenerated from underneath it, it's hands and arms disintegrated before it's eyes, as the population of life grew the planet pulled more and more energy away from the creator threatening to suck it dry. The beast came forth, seeing the creator grow weaker and weaker it turned to devour the planet before it could steal away all the energy but the creator would not allow it.
The beast could only watch as the creator began to fade, it saw the suffering of the creator and the planets inhabitants as the never ending clutches of illness, famine, carnage and chaos befell them. It was then that the beast reached inside itself and produced three sets of it's own bones, it then reached up and plucked out one of it's eyes from the center of it's forehead and sent it and the first set of bones to the planet below, the black shape of a wolf formed around the bones and the eye and thus became Mortis the Shepherd of illness and famine. The beast reached inside itself for a second time and plucked out it's still beating heart. It sent the heart and the second set of bones down to the planet below, the red shape of a wolf formed around the bones and the heart and thus became Nex the Hunter of carnage and blood shed. The beast reached into itself one last time and produced a small shred of it's soul, the beast sent it and the last set of bones to the planet below, the blue translucent shape of a wolf formed around the bones and shred of soul and thus became Obitus the companion of those to die a peaceful death. The Triad bounded across the world relieving the suffering of the dying, returning their energy to the creator above. When the creator was strong again it embraced it's companion, the creator took from it's body a reasonable quantity of energy and distributed it across the world allowing the planet's inhabitants to continue to create life of their own, The creator and the beast left the planet and continued into the black void knowing the three descendants of the beast would keep the balance amongst all the living things and allow the even flow of all energy on the earth.

The void
Then there is pulsing light = expelling his energy and pulsing in all directions
Energy swirling into a massive form - mixing with the darkness - like the soul eater - but darker than dark with highlights revealing his form. Like a black hole - he absorbs light.
