## Myths and Legends

According to Hindu cosmology, a Pralaya specifies different periods of time during which a non-activity situation persists, as per different formats or contexts. The word Mahapralaya stands for "Great Dissolution". During each pralaya, the lower ten realms (loka) are destroyed, while the higher four realms, including Satya-loka (the abode of Brahma, the Hindu creator god), Tapa-loka, Jana-loka, and Mahar-loka, are preserved. During each Mahapralaya, all 14 realms are destroyed.

In the Samkhya philosophy, one of the six schools of classical Indian philosophy, pralaya means "non-existence", a state of matter achieved when the three gunas (principles of matter) are in perfect balance. The word pralaya comes from Sanskrit meaning "dissolution" or by extension "reabsorption, destruction, annihilation or death".

Pralaya is among the most mysterious and enigmatic 'beings' in all of creation and many things could be said about what exactly Pralaya is, especially so little is even known about her. She states that she is the "original darkness" that existed before there was anything at all and the source from which all things emerged, further supporting the implication that she is the waters of chaos of which God used to make up everything that ever was and will be.

According to the poet John Milton, the "Lake of Fire" in the epic poem Paradise Lost is said to be the seas of chaos instead of it being a pre-version of Hell meaning that Pralaya's non-existent matter was molded into what is now known as Hell from Lucifer's fall alongside his fallen comrades. The poem also shows that both Chaos and Night ruled alongside Pralaya so in a sense this would make Pralaya the seas, Chaos the wind, and Night being the sky that is related to complete nothingness.

> Pralaya.

> HA, you think you can beat her. Don't make me laugh, boys. She is one of the void trio, the greatest creations of the Void Khaos with power so great that even those of the Protogenoi are not completely confident in their chances of victory against her. They were my greatest opponents in the first war for Creation. Take my advice if you value your existence, do not provoke her. That includes you Lucifer, you and your ability to fight primordials head on and trick Death to become immortal.

If she decides to unleash her fury onto you, it will be the end of you one way or another.
