# The Decartan (English)

## The Blossoming

In the beginning, M built Marov. Then, They constructed Lumo and Subitar. In no particular pattern, many stars emerged in space. M claimed Themself the first Spirit, the Spirit of the Plum Blossom. Aside from Themself, Marov was empty, so They encouraged Ono to join Them in the nature They built. M declared Ono the second Spirit of Marov, the Spirit of Negativity. The day pleased M, so Lumo set and rose. The next day, M and Ono began further work in Marov, forming plant life throughout the land. M created Their Tree, and Ono formed a Moat around Her and a Plant in Her branches. Then, Siunas appeared, and M declared Him the third Spirit, the Spirit of Blood. Siunas, seeing Meika, created a poisonous Tree of His own. The day pleased M, and as Lumo set, Ono thought of Their beloved sibling, Ira, and declared Them the fourth Spirit, the Spirit of Positivity, Ono’s counterpart. Lumo rose, and on the third day, M created the animals of Marov. Siunas desired to harm an innocent rabbit, so M cuffed thick mittens to His hands to prevent a tragedy from falling by them. Later that day, M invited Arte and Pollo to Marov, declaring them the fifth and sixth Spirits, the Twin Spirits of Mischief. The Twins bid Banica to be the seventh Spirit of Marov, the Spirit of Gluttony. As The day pleased M, Lumo set and rose; then began the fourth day. As M and Their fellow Spirits designed the world, they imagined how the people and societies of Marov would act. Thinking of those soon-to-be, M invited Rilliane to be the eighth Spirit, the Spirit Guide. Rilliane, Spirit Guide, would act as teacher for the first people of Marov, who would one day be called Avery, Oki, Ale, and Fang. The day, containing little work and plenty of free time, pleased M, so Lumo set and rose. On the fifth day, Arte and Pollo pulled Their first prank; M had stated that Marov would have no moons, but the Twins, wanting a monument of their own, created Magista and Elora. Although against M’s wishes, the Twins’ disruption was fun at heart, so the day pleased M, and Lumo set and rose. The Spirits grew tired of constant work, so They took time to Themselves instead, leaving the sixth day lacking much activity. On the seventh day, M noticed that Dragon, a friend of Theirs, showed an interest in joining the Spirits in their work, so They welcomed Dragon to Marov and claimed It the ninth Spirit, the Spirit of Lust. Lumo set and rose as always, and days passed. On the tenth day, M established Their church where the Spirits could hide away from the growing Winter cold. On the thirteenth day, M claimed The King of Lumo the tenth and final Spirit and Spirit of Dreams. Days passed as the Spirits planned minor details of Marov: designing its countries and giving them ownership, designing intricacies of foretold groups, et cetera. M was pleased with the work; M was pleased with Marov. Someday, They would present this world to the first human, Avery, and Avery would be pleased with Marov as well.

M decided that Luman, Arti 1st, 0 SC would be the day of Avery’s creation. First, the soul formed, confused and alone in darkness, accompanied only by a flowering Tree, and the soul walked towards the Tree and reached out to Her flowers. Then, M formed a body for the soul in Their image, and the soul came into the body and awoke. M fed the young teenager, Avery, and gave them clothes similar to Their own. While life was peaceful, it became hard for M to keep up with the first human of Marov, finding it hard to remember to visit and feed them each day. Eventually, on the bright morning of the 6th of Arti, They put Avery into a deep sleep, and time itself stopped to keep the sleeping human safe. From that day on, Avery, dubbed Avery of Time and apprentice of M, inadvertently controlled the flow of time with their consciousness; as they slept, the world stood still, and as they woke, time flowed on.

One day, in a void outside of Marov, Ono lit a black candle and cried for Their Twin. They hoped that the light of the candle and the sound of Their cries would guide Ira from Ihi-ume en one-ama to Them. Just as They wished, Ira appeared before Them, crouching to comfort Them and laying a hand upon Their head. The world soon adjusted to Ira’s presence, eagerly welcomed by Spirits and non-Spirits alike. During this period in which Marov stood still, Ono’s Misery overcame Them. As that day progressed, this Misery traveled from Their hands up through Their arms and eventually reached Their chest, claiming Their heart. Ira came to Their side at this moment, kneeling in front of Their shaking body. The two of Them devised a plan: They would allow Ono to leave Their dying body and hopefully guide Them back to it at a safer time, as Ono once did for Ira. Then, Ira lit a white candle, and when Ono was ready to pass, Ira snuffed it out and covered Their Twin’s body with a thin, white sheet, impenetrable to Misery. After many days watched and waited upon by Ukofupi and Ihelipi, Ira returned to where Ono rested with a white candle while accompanied by Their shared lover in a similar, though simulated, event. Ira placed Their candle on the floor and lit it, attempting to guide Their Twin back to Their now Misery-corrupted body. The Spirit of Misery brushed aside the blanket that lay over Them and sat up, spreading Their dark wings, awoken from Their hibernation. In the simulation, They greeted Their lover, and the three of them: Ono, Kat, and Ira, were together once more.

For the safety of those weak to Their Misery, Ono quarantined Themself in a solitary void. There, They assembled a circle of white candles around Themself. They pinched off a drop from Their Halo and planted it in the “soil” of the void as a seed, which soon, in the timeless space, burst from the ground a majestic Tree. The fruits hanging from Its branches shimmered and sparkled blue as Ono’s halo. When the day arrived that They felt it safe to visit Marov once more, They plucked a single fruit and entered back into the world of Spirits.

Ono arrived in the Center of Marov, and upon stepping into its green lands, the grass below Them became soiled with Misery. Seeing how this upset Their friend, M used Their power, gathering the Misery from the ground and destroying it. To avoid further damage, Ono conjured a pair of white sandals and clothed Their feet. Then, They approached Era, the Moat that surrounded the hamlet’s Centerpiece, Meika, and cracked open the fragile fruit They held. The contents of the fruit spilled into Era’s waters and planted themselves in the soil below, fertilized by the dust that fell from Ari at Ono’s will. While yet unnamed, one day, these planted seeds, by foretelling, would blossom as Ono’s Children, Living Souls.

On the morning of Posan, Arti 8th, 0 SC, Ira, longing to watch Lumo cross the sky above, requested that time flow once more. They devised a plan to travel and follow in Their Twin’s act, planting Their grains to form children in a far-off desert that They named the “Urisi Desert.” They took on Their person nothing but seeds of The Angel’s Spores; all else They needed was already of Themself. With Their plans, items, and will gathered, Ira took flight. After several hours, They arrived at Their destination, exhausted but satisfied, and Lumo shone overhead. As time froze with Avery’s slumber, Ira pinched a piece of Their Halo and planted it as a seed in the ground. Then, Ira fertilized the seed with Their inIra-umo-Onoito. After wandering to a nearby river, They washed Their hands before returning to the Tree. They then sprinkled seeds of The Angel’s Spores lightly atop the small mound of fertile sand so the growing Tree’s branches would catch and feed them. Finally, They took a scoop of the river’s water and gently poured it atop the mound. Soon, Avery awoke, and time passed once more. Ira sat before the mound in patient waiting.
