    "It was the Nothingness that created the existance itself, the Darkness created shadows and skies which the Light spread pieces of itself across, becoming stars. The Light and the Darkness continued their battle across the skies, fighting for dominance. The seed however, was left by itself. It kept away, filled with guilt over what it had done. In the explosion, it had been blessed and cursed with knowledge of what had been, what was and what would be. Not wanting to bear the burden by itself, it touched the Nothingness. 

''  When the seed and Nothingness collided, there was no pull, only gravity. Out of that gravity, Déma was born. She was granted the knowledge of all and the gravity inside of her created a mysterious energy, stronger than the seed’s. ''

''  When the seed and Light collided, there was no pull, only energy. Out of that energy, Aijzel was born. He shone with such light and purity not even the seed could set eyes upon him. ''

''  Finally, when the seed and Darkness collided, there was no pull, only force. Out of that force, Weoirn was born. He was strong and the force within him created actions which were always to come before words and thoughts. ''

''The empty existence was not enough for any of them and even though they had each other, they wanted more. Their reasons were what told them apart. ''

''  Déma wanted to teach the magic she had unravelled from within herself, which she had come to call the Te’ah. It was both a gift and a curse which she did not want to bear on her own. ''

''  Aijzel wanted to lead, to give advice to those in need. With his inner light and purity, he would wield his shield of light with only the best in mind. ''

''  Weoirn, with his sharp spear, wanted knowledge. He wanted to explore what had yet to be found. He wanted security and a place to truly call home. ''

''So they decided to create something of their own. Something they could share and watch over. Some life outside themselves. ''

'' Therefore, they took a piece of themselves to forge together. What they did miss, was the power of the seed, because they all remembered what had caused their birth. But Déma argued that since they were made from the seed, they all carried a part of it inside. So they forged together the parts of themselves. Yet life was not born out of it. What was born though was a huge, hot stone. It fell into pieces, drifting through existence, which the three had named the Vast, to float among the stars. The hottest stones became suns, the coldest became moons. The others became planets. ''

''One of the planets was the perfect temperature, feeding off two suns and was orbited by three moons. The three chose this planet for their own. Over years, they shaped it round, lifted mountains towards the skies and dug deep graves reaching for the heart of the planet. There was no water or sea to fill the graves, however, nor any snow or cold to cloud the mountaintops. They realized they did need the seed to create the life they wanted to grace the planet with. So two of them set out to find it, leaving the third to guard the lonely planet."''
