## Creation of the Universe and the War of the First Gods

In the beginning of time, there were no stars, no sun, and no moons, only the Void Ocean and its infinite abyss. This was when the first gods, the primordials, were born. They formed the very fabric of the universe and as such were incredibly powerful. The primordials included Argont, Maiandri, Ultraryon, Hyones, Bea, Lizael, Gorgoth, Moroa, Ixius, Onsa, Garlog, Seredith, Hudra, Tanys, Mereon, Nimra, Plius, Aurona, Gurr, Ania, Gozerath, and Lizean.

They initially co-existed in relative peace, but that soon gave way to conflict. The primordials began fighting for dominion over the rest, and the Void Ocean's waters were dyed red with their blood.

The primordials would clash for a long time before being forced to retreat after the Void Shark, Sura, emerged from their conflict. It would devour almost all the primordials, only leaving four survivors: Argont, Maiandri, Gorgoth, and Moroa who were shellshocked at the destruction and deaths the Void Shark had left in its wake. Those who fell prey to the Void Shark had their essences and life force absorbed and added to the Void Shark's body, while their remains were thrown back out into the universe as stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.

The survivors would flee the Void Shark, seeking refuge among the new stars, planets, and celestial bodies, until eventually they reached a dimension so high up that even the Void Shark couldn't reach them. This was the High Plane which they turned into their abode and safe haven where they gave birth to the second generation of gods.

## The Second War

Argont and Maiandri would give birth to their children: Letha, Seira, and Chalundra. Among the three sisters, Chalundra was the most powerful and beautiful. From Gorgoth and Moroa was born Maorg the God of Death, Klzaes the God of Sleep, and Zogera the God of Souls.

As the new generation of gods grew, the surviving primordials felt they had to act in order to stop their descendants from repeating their mistakes and leading them to be better.

Letha would inherit the positions of Gozerath and Lizean, taking their places as the goddess of time and fate. She was given the task of guiding the universe's development, and she would take over the role of watching over time and its flow, keeping it in a stable condition.

Seira would take some of Bea and Lizael's positions. She would become the goddess of season and would inherit the role of watching over the growth of the planets and the development of their ecosystems.

Chalundra would inherit the rest of her parents' positions. She became the goddess Starlight, Space, Beauty, Love, Marriage, Mankind, Forgiveness, and Prosperity, and would become the leader of the second generation of gods, who would become the rulers of the universe.

The primordials decided to teach their children how to fight in order to defeat the Void Shark and rebuild the universe. However, as they taught their children, they would realize that the second generation gods were more powerful than they originally expected, giving them hope that they could win the upcoming war.

They would have a plan to create weapons to help the gods win the upcoming war against the Void Shark. Being a warrior goddess, Maiandri became the first one to receive a weapon, and would later go on to create other weapons and pass them down to the rest of the second generation. These weapons would be used in the upcoming war.

With these new weapons and the training of the new generation, the second generation gods would begin the second war, this time having the upper hand against the Void Shark. The battle would last a long time, however, they realized that even with them being more powerful than their predecessors, they needed more assistance if they were going to win. In order to help their children, Argont and Maiandri tried to gather the scattered essences of the fallen primordials to forge them into weapons. However, instead of producing weapons, the essences sprung forth new batches of second generation gods; Aquilla, Sarger, Zot, Ashyra, Vorthus, Zevirus, Morthaur, Alura, Bal'gi, Uthar, Omphe, Kro, X'ara, Jura, Tethis, Oberos, Magnar, Zelestia, Zalera, Zurie, and Aphrosia.

The newborn second generation gods grew up quickly and joined their older brethren in the war against the Void Shark. After a long period of battling, neither side emerged victorious until Chalundra proposed that all of her fellow gods must merge with her in order to become strong enough to defeat the Void Shark. The gods would do just that and fuse with Chalundra, becoming one entity.

Together, they defeated the Void Shark once and for all and seal the Void Shark away in a dimension so far removed that even their senses couldn't detect it, in the shadow of the multiverse known as the All Black.
After the battle, Chalundra would separate her brethren and return the weapons to her mother, and she would also give each a domain to rule over. Being humbled by his experience, Argont chose to give up his domain to his daughter and retired to the High Plane, leaving the rest to his children. For Maiandri, she took the position as the Queen Mother of the Universe, aiding her daughter in managing the universe's affairs.

After the war, the second generation gods were the ones that ruled the universe. Their domains ranged from the stars, planets, and their ecosystems, the galaxies, the celestial bodies, and even the souls of their subjects. However, despite their victory, remnants of the Void Shark's evils and corruptions still remained, which would be future dangers for both gods and mankind.

## Chalundra's Golden Age

The second generation gods were now rulers of the universe, and Chalundra was their queen. However, she was not just a queen, she was the ruler of the gods.

Under Chalundra's rule, the universe prospered and flourished, and the second generation gods would have peace, unity, and harmony.

Chalundra was the goddess of love and marriage, and as such, she would have a large number of devoted followers, especially those in love. Under her, she blessed them with powerful genealogy, good luck, and prosperity.

However, despite the peace, Chalundra still had some enemies who were unhappy with her rule. Some were jealous of her beauty, her power, or her status. Others were unhappy with her laws or her rules, which they deem to be restrictive for them. Still, others were just plain evil, and wanted to use the peace and prosperity to their own ends. Some of those enemies were mortals who took her kindness for granted, while others were demons and monsters.

Being one of the most beautiful goddesses, Chalundra was also the target of many suitors, including her fellow second generation gods. One of the most particular suitors was the sun god, Zot, who would try to court her. However, Chalundra would always reject his advances, as she did not see him as a suitable husband for her.

However, she did try to seek a husband by her own, watching the mortals closely. She was impressed by their hard work and ingenuity, and thought that the strongest among them would make a worthy suitor. After looking through the various races, she found one in particular: Lonians.

Lonians were a race of dragon warriors that originated from a planet called Lonia. They were a race that was strong, powerful, and savage. They had a society based on strength and honor, and were well-known for their fierce temperament. They had no fear of death, and were ready to fight at a moment's notice.

Chalundra found this trait particularly attractive, and would travel to Lonia to meet the inhabitants. She would choose a warrior named Vhiktodra as her husband. Given their isolation and primitive nature, Lonians were unaware of the Nexus gods' existence. Upon seeing Chalundra, Vhiktodra thought that she was a potential opponent and battled her, resulted in his defeat and interest on her.

### Courting the Dragon

Chalundra would court Vhiktodra, impressing him with her beauty and power, and he would find her a worthy mate. She would reveal her identity to him, and would tell him of the other gods and the universe. After a period of courting, Vhiktodra would accept to marry Chalundra, and would accompany her back to the High Plane.

Once there, Chalundra would introduce Vhiktodra as her chosen husband, and would present him to her parents, Argont and Maiandri who gave their blessing to their union. She would also introduce Vhiktodra and his people to the rest of the gods. However, not all of the second generation gods were happy with their union, particularly Zot and his followers, who felt insulted by Vhiktodra's existence and Chalundra's choice, especially as she was the goddess of beauty. Enraged that she would choose what he deemed as nothing more than a savage beast, he would try to challenge Vhiktodra, which the dragon would respond with interest.

Their duel would not end with Zot's favor, and would result in his defeat. Vhiktodra would mock the sun god, calling him a weakling and an inferior specimen, and that the sun god should learn his place. Even though defeated, this only caused Zot to be filled with hatred for the dragon, and he would swear revenge on him.

Vhiktodra and Chalundra's marriage would be celebrated by nearly all of the second generation gods. Chalundra would invite the Lonian tribe, who was now her family, to join the festivities. However, their presence would cause a stir among the mortals, as they had never seen such a creature before, thus upon seeing them they started to write legends and myths about the "Dragons"

### Marriage and Children

The marriage between Vhiktodra and Chalundra was a joyous occasion for all of the gods. During their marriage, Chalundra would be pregnant with their first child. Vhiktodra and Chalundra's son would be named Yordan.

The young demigod was raised and nurtured by both his parents, and would be blessed with many gifts from the gods. However, this would anger Zot, who would see this as a mockery of his defeat, and he would plot revenge.
