Long ago, before life began there was simply Terrath. A common cold and barren planet that had not known light save for the stars and had never had a creature walk on or below its surface. Terrath was nothing and it was this nothingness that attracted a particular being named Varlienth. This being had seen other worlds some it had left freely after becoming bored. Others for being chased on account of the fear that the mortals would feel for him. He was shadow and he knew fear and hatred for he could hide all manner of unsavory creatures in his powers. He was not evil but he knew he could be harsh and yes even cruel. But his cruelty showed after abuse and his harsh nature was so that others did not take advantage of him or those who sought his protection. It was this world of barren lifelessness that he sought and rested on for he was tired and wanted to be left alone. There he slept and when he didnt sleep he watched the stars form and live and die. he watched galaxies be ripped apart as they met or be devoured by black holes and wondered how the beings coped with such cataclysms if they lived their generations to see their worlds be torn apart by time. This was how Daria found him, and at first she felt fear for darkness often hated and devoured light. But as far as light beings go she was young and curious and so she approached the other cautiously ready to run or fight as necessary. 
Varlienth was of course mildly annoyed at being disturbed during his rest but allowed the light being to linger nearby. He saw no real reason to attack them so long as they didnt attack first and he asked why the creature was there to which they reply "i am here because i wanted to explore the stars and see what worlds there were outside of the galaxy i was born" Varlienth of course felt amused for this being was young while he was old and so he allowed her to stay and told her many stories of his own adventures. this young deity felt sympathy for him as he spoke of his stories and one night placed his hands on his neck allowing their powers to mingle. and he allowed her light to flow through his darkness letting it show on his skin as a reflection of the stars and she saw him as beautiful and when life came she covered the sky in blue so that when the nights came they could truly appreciate the stars that showed from him and around him.
