It was a dark history concerning the very root of the Blight that did taint the Grand Aeons, a shadow cast by the treachery of Akh, who with cunning artifice did sway the will of Yom, the Son of Night, to the defilement of Laila, his own sister.
From this forbidden union were born twelve grand entities, later to be known as the Grand Aeons, each bearing the mark of a singular power and a destiny yet unwritten.
These twelve sons and daughters were Bahamut, Ave, Demantra Ent'tra, Mythria, Karasu Tengu, Ifrit, Titan Og, Nyanja, Eira, Ba'i Yang, Astamat, and Rivotra. Within each lay the seed of unique might and fate.
In the ages long past, ere the great schism and the unending wars, the Naraka Continent stood unified, stretching like a breathtaking expanse, a masterpiece wrought by the Creator's own hand.
Laila, the Daughter of the Sun, whose radiance was as the dawn, became aware of the dark manipulation of will wrought by Akh, her eldest brother, after she had brought forth her twelve children. A bitter truth struck her as a tempest of wrath.
The power of Akh, once unmatched, was now divided amongst Laila's twelve offspring, slowly but surely weakening his dominion over the Daughter of the Sun.
Laila was overcome with a profound dread for her transgression, for the seed that had grown within her womb from her own brother, Yom, the Son of Night. Guilt haunted her every waking moment.
In despair and gripped by a fear that chilled her very soul, Laila concealed her children within a hidden dimension she named Orkusshura.
There, she did fashion life, endowing them with environment and form. Yet, her power was not that of the Creator, who transcended all.
Her creation bore the mark of inherent limitations and imperfections. Ironically, the very substance of the Orkusshura World underwent uncontrolled changes and fell prey to strange mutations.
The Blight's curse, which had also tainted Laila during Akh's chastisement, permeated her created world. Darkness and strangeness became the inevitable hallmarks of Orkusshura.
Nevertheless, fate, ever weaving its intricate tapestry, had its own course to run. Laila's twelve children emerged from Orkusshura with ease, as if the dimensional walls could not contain the fierce power that coursed within their blood.
They were captivated by the beauty of Naraka, a realm so unlike the dark Orkusshura, which teemed with terrifying and bizarre creatures.
Even the sun in Orkusshura cast a mystical purple light, painting the sky with a similar hue, a stark contrast to Naraka, which radiated warmth and abundant life.
However, this beauty fostered greed within the hearts of Laila's twelve children, Ave amongst them. They began to vie for power, ambition blinding their hearts, and division became their inevitable lot.
Once, the very skies of Naraka wept. Torrential rain drenched the earth for forty days and forty nights without ceasing. Bahamut, Laila's firstborn, felt an extraordinary unease stir within him.
His instinct for dominance drove him to seize territory from his siblings without delay. With reckless courage, he emerged from his hiding place. Instantly, his Mother's tears, transformed into a tormenting rain, lashed his body with tremendous force.
For seven days, he lay helpless, unable to stir from the spot where his feet first touched the ground. His skin blistered horribly, and blood flowed freely from every pore and opening in his body.
Yet, on the seventh day, a miracle did occur. The pain and torment slowly faded, replaced by the warmth of his Mother's love seeping into his very soul.
He felt a strong connection, and most importantly, he had been freed from the shackles of the Blight that had plagued him since his birth. Bahamut gained profound wisdom from his painful ordeal.
He began to lure his siblings out of hiding, hoping they too would be touched by the cleansing rain. Merrily, Bahamut danced in the downpour before Ave's hiding place, hoping his younger sibling would be tempted to emerge.
Initially, Ave was afraid to venture forth. He felt excruciating pain as the raindrops touched his skin. However, he also witnessed the miracle unfolding around him. Plants grew lush, and all manner of living creatures seemed to thrive under the deluge.
And there, his brother Bahamut danced joyfully, as if the rain held no ill effect for him. This sight enraged Ave. With all his might, he lunged at Bahamut, venting his pent-up frustration.
Ave suffered a fate similar to Bahamut's. After enduring great torment, he was finally freed from the Blight's grip. Together with Bahamut, they sought to persuade and entice their other siblings to come out from their hidden lairs.
Ave even stood tall before Rivotra's hiding place, striving to lure him from the darkness. However, the rain suddenly ceased, and his efforts met with failure.
On that day, beneath the scorching sun, destiny had set its course.
Only Bahamut, Ave, Demantra Ent'tra, Mythria, Karasu Tengu, and Nyanja managed to break free from the deadly clutches of the Blight.
Meanwhile, Ifrit, Titan Og, Eira, Ba'i Yang, Astamat, and Rivotra remained ensnared under the misleading influence of Akh's darkness.
The Blight awakened within them a fierce thirst for power, driving them to claim Naraka as their absolute dominion, brooking no sharing with others.
Disputes and wars amongst the siblings raged for centuries, staining the very landscape of Naraka with endless destruction and bloodshed.
Until one day, amidst the eternal chaos, an unexpected miracle did occur. Two human figures suddenly appeared from the void, entering the domain of Bahamut and his siblings who had been freed from the debilitating Blight.
They were new humans, fashioned by the Creator with a beautiful promise. The Grand Aeons felt immense joy at the arrival of these two mortal beings. They believed that their mother had sent this pair as a gift.
The humans were named Astaguna Rah's and Hara Constantine, a man and a woman. Their arrival brought a glimmer of new hope to a world ravaged by ceaseless war and strife.
Upon a time, as Ave observed the two humans, he underwent a segema, suddenly shifting into the Nypocampus, a mysterious realm of consciousness. It was there that Ave first understood all things concerning the creation of the universe.
A voice echoed, filling the very space, declaring itself as the Creator. It was his Uncle, his mother's younger brother, Jagannath. Jagannath then called out to Ave, his voice filling the conscious space with a powerful vibration.
"Ave, my fair niece. I deeply yearn for a direct meeting with thee, but because thou hast been purified by the tears of my sister Laila, who is thy mother,"
"Then thou wouldst perish merely by My presence there. Therefore, I can only speak with thee, but cannot be present to meet thee in the flesh."
"Guide Astaguna and Hara to come before Me. Teach them how to worship Me with sincerity, so that they and thou may return unto Me in the promised place."
"Refer to Me as the Creator before these humans. Never utter My name, nor the names of My siblings. Likewise with thy Mother. Call her the Sun Goddess before these humans."
"For they shall perish if they know Our names, filled as they are with the power of the Astral Flux, as well as the name of thy grandmother. Our power is too immense for fragile mortal beings to comprehend."
"Seven days hence, do not meet with these humans. I shall send down the Sun Scripture and the Scripture of Knowledge unto them, guiding the initial steps of their new civilization."
"Ave, my beloved niece. There is one more thing thou must not do with thy brothers and sisters. That is to take these humans, be it Astaguna or Hara, or any of their descendants, as spouses. Marriage with mortal beings will bring unforeseen and possibly terrible consequences."
After that, Ave awoke from this vision, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He immediately recounted to his siblings all that he had experienced, concerning his mysterious journey into the Nypocampus.
However, it turned out that his brothers and sisters had also been visited by Jagannath at the same time, each receiving different messages and tasks according to their destined paths.
With Jagannath's loving guidance, they divided the tasks of guiding the newly arrived humankind in Naraka. A new era for Naraka and its inhabitants had begun, filled with new hopes and challenges.
Bahamut patiently taught them of vast astronomical knowledge, the regular cycles of day and night, the mysterious movements of stars and planets, opening their understanding of the boundless universe.
Ave devotedly guided them with unwavering faith in the Creator, and built a magnificent Sun temple as a centre of worship and reverence for the Almighty.
Nyanja wisely taught them the arts of catching fish and crafting necessary tools, also emphasizing the importance of preserving natural resources so that life might continue in harmony.
Mythria diligently instructed them in reading and writing, and developed simple yet useful technologies to support daily life, laying a solid foundation for the progress of their civilization.
Karasu Tengu skillfully taught them effective hunting methods, accurate archery, and formidable martial arts, equipping them with the ability to survive in the challenging wilderness.
Meanwhile, Demantra Ent'tra, with his profound knowledge, taught efficient irrigation and farming techniques, as well as the keeping of animals, ensuring the availability of sustenance for Astaguna and Hara.
Thus, Ave and his siblings joyfully guided the two humans in their new lives. Until one day, Rivotra, ever unsatisfied and seeking chaos, came to tempt Astaguna with all the deceit of his power, still influenced by the dark Blight.
He poisoned the fish in the sea with the deadly Blight, making it so that Astaguna only needed to gather the floating fish without the labour of fishing as before.
Rivotra also manipulated Astaguna's plantations, unnaturally accelerating the growth of plants so that Astaguna did not have to wait long to enjoy the harvest.
All of Rivotra's deceptions successfully ensnared the unfortunate Astaguna.
Everything felt easy and instant, requiring no hard work or sacrifice.
Astaguna, now under the sway of the Blight, tried to persuade Hara to listen only to Rivotra and to immediately build a small temple to worship Rivotra, promising ease and abundant wealth.
But Hara felt a gripping fear in her heart. A strong instinct within her whispered that something was amiss with Astaguna and his drastic change in behaviour.
Hara, who was with child, disliked the fish caught by Astaguna, sensing a strange and unpleasant aura emanating from it. Due to her condition, she desired only to eat the flesh of fresh and natural forest birds.
Astaguna, now completely under the influence of the Blight, continued to try and convince Hara, even attempting to forcibly take her to Rivotra's domain, which was filled with darkness.
But Ave sensed Hara's deep unease and immediately took her, shielding her from Rivotra's misleading evil influence. Rivotra, who had just nearly secured the two humans for his own purposes, was furious that Ave dared to interfere with his cunning and wicked plan.
With burning rage, Rivotra pursued Ave until he entered the peaceful domain of Bahamut. Bahamut, who was searching for Astaguna, saw Ave carrying Hara, being chased by an enraged Rivotra.
Without the slightest hesitation, he lunged at Rivotra with full force. With his mighty power, he struck Rivotra with a devastating bolt of lightning that shook the very heavens and the earth.
The land of Naraka trembled violently. A massive chasm yawned open, splitting the land into two separate parts from the easternmost to the westernmost edge.
Bahamut firmly demarcated the boundaries of his domain, issuing a stern warning to Rivotra to acknowledge his insolence in entering his territory without leave.
"Rivotra! Never again dare to enter and cross this divided land!" His voice echoed throughout the heavens, shaking the sky and the earth with irresistible power.
