Main mythology

*The First Dragons* before the SandWing Succession before the Jade Mountain prophecy *even* before the Great Scorching. There was nothing but a vast ocean. And three powerful spirits up in the heavens. They were all sisters (Lectorem) and (Videns), a pair of twins as well as one older sister (Conditor). The twins were powerful in their own right but the eldest held the most out of them all, having the power to create. Eventually, the sisters grew tired of their lonely existence and decided to create others to satisfying need for others, so, the eldest decided to create two new entities of life. One was a great beast with huge bat-like wings and the unusual power of creation, which he inherited from his creator. His name was Animo. The other was a other towering beast with decidedly smaller wings than his older brother. His name was Captiosus. There was a moment of silences where all these five entities lived in peace with one another.

Until, one day, when a great dark presence was seen heading towards them. It was a deity of flame and death, an evil so great it had the power to destroy. His name was Malum. He had been traveling the universe, his twisted mindset of destruction empowering him to keep moving. He is a hateful creature, he too hated himself, he is the embodiment of all that is wrong in this world, and he was heading towards the spirits at a fast pace. The spirits noticed this however, and collectively combatted the hateful deity. Videns, the spirit of the future, saw many outcomes, many about the destruction of the heavens and the annihilation of the ocean covered planet named Orbis, the eldest sister, created huge rocks and boulders and launched them at the deity of hellfire. But it was of little use as the rocks melted when near Malum. He was an impenetrable wall of burning hot flame, and could melt the most durable of objects before they saw the light of day.

They fought for thousands of years, but that was but simple weeks in the eyes of a spirit, but even after all of that they could not do anything to stop this evil beast as he was still creeping closer and closer. And the time came, the day of doomsday came upon them. . . but suddenly, the extraordinary happened, Animo sacrificed his life as he launched himself at Malum and knocked him away from harm with his immense form, but this great blow came at a cost, while it knocked Malum away and the hateful deity was now gone, it also did the same for the great Animo. For he fell into the vast oceans below with his sacrifice still in the hearts of his friends.

### *The First Age*

The first age began, as Animo’s form sunk into the watery depths, upon dying, a glowing blue orb appeared in front of him, speaking *“I am the goddess of the ocean, and I will rescue you from the blink.”* The blink is the place where gods go when their time has come, so she summoned her power and forced him back up to the surface of the water, he croaked a *"Thank you..."* in a shallow breath. Though, he knew this would not save him, but, he knew what must be done. So he summoned all of his power inside of him and unleashed a powerful wave of magic, the planet shook, rock and grass started sprouting from his hide and rooted in his flesh as he became earth.

Slowly, he faded into the blink, letting himself root into the ground of the planet. He was the first ever continent the world has ever seen, and he is known in the modern ages, as Pyrrhia, and for a time all was quiet, trees rooted and grew leaves and grew high and mighty, entire biomes started sprouting around the continent the first organisms appeared on the land, things came as it should be.

Not wanting Animo’s death to be in vain, the great and powerful Conditor used her power to create a single egg. She then gave it to her sisters who imbued it with gifts of future sight and mind reading, and then sent it down to earth. But it didn’t come crashing down, it glided down, gently nestling into the grass below *“What shall we do with this child?*” Videns spoke from the heavens above *“Who will take care of her?”* The eldest held up her hand and created a stone dragon, a statue really, *“His name is Guardian, he will take care of her.”* She said and she sent him down as well. Later on, this sentinel dragon will be called “The Caretaker" by many others.

So time went on as it should be the moon spirit’s mourned the death of their immense friend, population started growing around the continent, and the new dragon *Noctis,* was cared for by Guardian, once she was a year old, she started walking across the continent with Guardian by her side. Guardian does not talk often but when he does it’s always something wise and gentle, over time Noctis grew up, as she was now 12 years old, and by then she has explored the majority of Pyrrhia. All except the great Ice planes, and the vast desert, she was bored and had nothing to do she picked up a coconut and said, “I wish this coconut would do something exciting,” and suddenly just after the words left her mouth, the coconut exploded, into dozens of pieces, suddenly great booming noises shook the ground as guardian appeared, “what-was-that?” he said in a dull voice “I don’t know” said Noctis, *did I do that?* She thought looking at her talons, curious she placed her claws on the soft grass, “*Grow”* she whispered. Suddenly the grass sprung up, growing faster than normally possible into the sky, “wha- what the” she stuttered “what the heck is this?”

**A couple months later**

Noctis now comfortable with her newfound power had found it handy in situations. She had a small sack full of little magic gadgets she uses from time to time like the pink colored rock, that whenever she says, “food please” her favorite foods appear, especially blueberries, she loved blueberries. One day she found a horse lying on the ground breathing heavily, she quickly flew down toward it and curiously glanced at it “why will the horse not get up?” she asked Guardian, Guardian looked at the horse and his emerald eyes shimmered with sadness, “she-is-dying” he said surprisingly soft for a stone creature. Noctis’s eyes shimmered curiously, “what is dying?” she asked. The stone creature clenched his talons, “it-is-when-you-no-longer-exist-your-soul-leaving-your-body” he said solemnly. “Will it happen to me?” Noctis said curiously. Guardian looked into Noctis’s eyes *I can’t lie to her* he thought. **“Yes, it will.”** he said to Noctis with her fear filled eyes, **“It happens to everyone, sometimes even to the Gods.”** they both glanced at the horse who died while they were talking, **“Come on, let's go.”** Guardian said sadly. As they both flew off, a thought emerged into Noctis’s mind *I never want to die, ever, and maybe I could fix that, I could fix the world...*
