Nightmares of Deka

" Deka, our Universe born from Energy and Aether... from the sleeping and dreaming mind of the holy being of the same name. A fragile Universe, as fragile as a sleep, a reality its inhabitant are to never forget about. [...]   At the narrow extremity of the egg-shaped cosmos, the Devourer, the only Black hole, swallowing the souls of the dead acting as bright stars that crimp the blurry boundaries of the nether's vault,always reminding the mortal creatures of their ultimate becoming. [...]   In the center of the egg-shaped cosmos, the Luminary, the Sun, around which orbits, among other astral bodies, our World, Myyn, Home of Life [...] guarded by the thousand gods and goddesses that roam lands, waters, and sky free and among the mortals they sworn to protect. [...] Inhabited by the many races of servants of the Light and the others such has humans, sallaryyn, borians, zaians and seraphims that dominate this world with their craft and ingenuity. [...]   The duality, "Dalraad", the first being, who dwelled in eternity alone in the nothingness, the Higher God of Darkness and the Higher Goddess "Soris", born by the will of the "Symbol of Truth" to bring Light. Both crafted this world, both created Life. [...]   Soris was loving and enthusiastic about her creations, Dalraad was uninterested and set in the comfort of the silent Dark.   Soris loved Life and made it a Wonder.   Dalraad disregarded it and it made abominations. [...]   Olodumaraad, the most tragic event to ever occur. The first crime of Darkness, the fall and the last breaths of Soris as her spirit leaked through her backstab and faded into nothingness... to never come back ever again. This was the invention of Death. And its creator, Dalraad, was to be forever cursed by all living things for choosing Power over Light. Some say Deka had a bad dream, thus this era of chaos and desolation was named "The First Nightmare". And there would be more to come. [...]   Dalraad never cared about the opinions of his own creation. [...] Higher being whose ways could not be understood, not contempt of creating Death, he added in the logic of things, the Four Evils.   Pain the first bringer: reminding permanently every creature of the weight of existence itself and its consequencies.   Fear: to keep all living things from acting against his will as they meet dangers that could lead them to their demise.   Despair: for those who dare probe the nature of his decisions to fail as their weakness prevail over their perseverence.   Wrath: to blind them even more with chaotic thinking as they fail ought to fail in the path of True Light that threatens the fallacy that he dared calling the "Equilibrium". [...]   Telen, their third daughter, fifth child and firstborn was now endorsing her father's crime and accepted the task to reap the souls of the dead thus becoming the Spirit of Death, not respected enough to keep her title of Higher Goddess.
