The Final Cycle Shattered

## The Story

Eons ago there was a war between three realms, reality, light, and shadow. This story is not about the war as it was but merely its final battle. This singular battle raged for one thousand years, they called this battle, The War of Celestion, it ravaged the world killing its flora and fauna turning it into a dead and desolated environment. The final battle was fought on the opposite sides of a single canyon… the light intermingled with the void on one and the other brimmed with the first mortal races and primal forces. There were many times these two armies clashed here during this war and this clash would be the final one, both sides were tired and broken. But on that day something changed… the universe had given birth to another primal force… The armies prepared to charge and the dark sky erupted into daylight a golden entity appeared in the heavens and casted down an engraved hammer with force that shook the world… it landed between these two armies and they fought for the weapon thinking it could be the last piece to beat the otherside. Billions died over the hammer… the voice called down to both eternal armies.

“No one will win this war, all sides are balanced, no side will gain a single advantage.” spoke the

entity in a sorrowful tone

“One side will win… And it will be us!” bellowed a starry being from the ground.

“For we are the primal lords… We are the universe made manifest” yellowed both sides in a roar that cracked the ground.

“So be it… If you must fight then you will fight… you will fight me” spoke the entity.

The heavens went back to their original darkened state but now a being was holding the hammer… the entity became physical… his eyes glowed blue, his armor was black with accents of red, white, and gold. The intricate hammer he held its crystals glowed a bright navy blue and pointed in the cardinal directions. As his form finished coalescing… he spoke again

“If you will not stop then I will at least teach you how to fight together instead of separated”

“We Will Never Fight With Them” signaling to the other side of the canyon the starry being spoke loud enough for him to hear. “I am Lady Tinu naneth , the mother of stars and who are you to stand against us” she spoke bitterly

“To that You will find out” the entity spoke.

“You’re an enigma… how quaint” spoke the crystalline being which radiated pure light.

Both sides clashed… blood soaked the ground all that was left of both sides was the 13 primal forces, they only survived because none of them were truly physical.

“I think I know who I am now” said the entity with only a mildly exhausted voice.

Tinu naneth  smirked and spoke “So who do think you are to stand against the universe itself.”

“I go by many names, Guardian of Balance, The Bringer of Unity, but you may call me Aen Falv.”

Wings of crystal formed around the back of Aen Falv and he rose like a pillar of light and vanished… he has not been seen since.
