Amaranth

Cosmoria / Galvyria

### **Amaranth's Nature**

Amaranth may be the single most important and inherent force of reality that forms Ambrosia's existence, as the nature of Amaranth is the nature of everything within Imagindarium's vast creation, tying all of existence in an inherent and interwoven harmony. The concept of Amaranth would be the very first of existence, as Imagindarium's first action caused the aforementioned force of reality to spawn forth in a great light across the Void of Totality. And from this Amaranth Conception, the primordial, unshapen Ambrosia came into being. As such, within the very fabric of existence lies a complex internal structure of Amaranth-laden energies, whilst everything within Ambrosia's existence shares this inherent Amaranth truth.

When one is describing something that is Amaranth, they are speaking of a force, concept, or being spawned forth directly from Imagindarium itself, set aside from the natural functions of reality it put in place. If something is Amaranth, then that would mean the subject in question cannot have come from any force or cause that was not a direct action by Imagindarium alone, as Amaranth is defined as that which solely is spawned forth by Imagindarium from beyond all of the Cosmos.

Amaranth itself appears in a reddish-pink hue, and thus as Ambrosia's cosmic dust that creates its spiral borders is all drenched in Amaranth energies, they share in this color. This also extends to anything else within creation that is characterized by possessing a vast swath of Amaranth in its spatial makeup within reality, making several of the most essential and grandiose of Ambrosia's forces, concepts and beings share in both the color and name of Amaranth.

The first and foremost force spawned directly from Amaranth would be the ever-present Fragments of Creation, the genesis of all magical concepts within the whole of the Cosmos. As the introduction of the concept of gravity was made manifest within Ambrosia, the infinite Amaranth energies began to collide and merge, forming an existence of limitless Amaranth, and from that existence, said omnipotent Amaranth forces were sent forth into Ambrosia proper as an endless swirling jet of mythical power from that within the realm of Amaranthia beyond the thin Veil linking it to that of Ambrosia.

### **Amaranth's Function**

As Amaranth would be the very first concept Imagindarium spawned forth into existence, its respective functions would be of utmost importance amongst all of its crafted universe. From the great Amaranth Conception, the line to the Ultimate End would be forged, thus meaning that all which would follow in its wake exists solely from its Amaranth light. In a sense meaning that the function of Amaranth is identical to the function of the Ultimate End itself, that of course being the means to which all of Imagindarium's creation may remain totally bound together in a vast, intertwining web of inherent destiny.

Alongside serving as the ties that bind Ambrosia together, the amount of Amaranth energies contained within a concept, force, and or entity is used as a method of total objectivity in the relevancy to the completion of the Ultimate End the respective object of reference has. This means that the objective importance of the creation of Imagindarium to the Ultimate End is solely determined by the amount of Amaranth energies that create its spatial makeup in the universe. Thus, things that are of the utmost criticality to Imagindarium's design are verily drenched in Amaranth energies, so much so they often will appear Amaranth in color, or will have Amaranth as a part of their respective title, while things of much less import to the Ultimate End's manifestation contain very little Amaranth within them.

The function of Amaranth even goes beyond both the tying bond of the universe, and the measurement of objective importance within said universe, as the pure concentration of infinite energy which forms that of Amaranth is capable of embedding itself within the very fabric of both existences, and non-existence. Forevermore shall the remnant embedment of Amaranth, and all which had helped to forge remain eternally bound in the very essence of the Cosmos, no matter what form the universe may take in the far future, the far-flung echoes of Amaranth will always and forever remain extant, as it is the manifestation of the infinite presence of Imagindarium itself.

### **Amaranth's Objectivity**

As the means by which all of creation is united, Amaranth is the ultimate example of total objectivity in the universe. Amaranth is the force inherent to everything Imagindarium ever created, making the force objectivity incarnate. Everything is as it is under every metric of possible understandings by virtue of Imagindarium setting forth its objective truth within its crafted storyline. As well, Amaranth permeates all things contained within this crafted tale of conflict to an Ultimate End, its uniting energy is the absolute embodiment of this ever-present theme. Amaranth is the objective and total representation of Imagindarium's essence, meaning there is absolutely *zero* room for interpretation per the rules of an utter and total objective existence and shall remain so throughout the entirety of time's continuance. In the end, however, Amaranth simply is as it is because Imagindarium made it so.

Amaranth itself cannot be altered in any way, however, the means by which it interacts with what comes from itself would be dependent on how the respective thing would react to the objective power. Amaranth itself is always the same as it was when Imagindarium caused the Amaranth Conception. But, once acted upon by the new concepts of this universe, it would act in accordance with the laws set in place, as Amaranth's original function is to be a tying bond of objective existence. Meaning whatever "new" form it has taken is merely the very same reaction it always has, but made to fit the mold of the respective concept which was spawned from it, as Amaranth will always present itself as whatever is the objective truth of the respective existence it is apart of.

Equal in objectivity, Amaranth is the progenitor of the concepts of **Light** and **Darkness**. Existing in a state of infinite **Penumbra**, Amaranth is found in equal force in both great acts of evil, and immaculate acts of good. Since it can be found in equal measure to both sides of that which brings change in this universe, only the measurable inherent morality in the cosmos, birthed from Amaranth's original creation to differentiate what is of good, and or evil. As such, Amaranth, being the very representation of this grand conflict of good and evil, it exists in equal measure within the two inherent diametrically opposed aspects of the Cosmos.

### **Alizarin**

    Alizarin, also known as the ***"Mortal's Red,"*** is a concept equally inherent to Amaranth as its respective functions, as it is the method that separates that which is spawned from the functions of reality from within Ambrosia proper, as opposed to that which spawned forth directly from Imagindarium itself. Unlike that of pure Amaranth, Alizarin is an immense source of energy that only permeates itself in concepts regarding that which is limited or finite. As such, Alizarin is what separates mortality from that of eternal life, alongside that which only exists in the universe for a brief window of time.

Alizarin itself is not separate from that of baseline Amaranth energies. Instead, Alizarin is merely a refined form of Amaranth exclusive to that which is both finite and limited, as well as originating from Ambrosia's natural processes alone. As a remixed form of Amaranth, Alizarin appears very similar to that of Amaranth, however lacking the same red-pink hue, Alizarin presents itself as a piercing blood-red crimson color, further cementing the connection between Alizarin and mortality. If one was able to, if they were to look upon the remnant spirit of a mortal being, then the inherent Amaranth essence within them would be overpowered by an all-consuming crimson hue.

As Amaranth permeates within everything in Imagindarium's creation, Alizarin does not exist alone within the spatial makeup of that which is finite. Instead, the original Amaranth energies exist in tandem with that of the altered Alizarin. However, the Amaranth contained within will often be overpowered by that of the Alizarin, though this is dependent on the respective concept's objective importance to the Ultimate End. Much like that of Amaranth, Alizarin is pure, concentrated energy. However, the nature of that energy is opposite to that of baseline Amaranth. While the energy that forms Amaranth is the coalescence of objectivity, eternity, and eternal presence. Alizarin is that which is subject to change, finite, and limited, as it is the function in which Imagindarium ensures that which must extinguish in the eternal line to the End does so.

As Alizarin is contained within all concepts spawned from the fundamental forces of reality, its function is to serve as the means by which said concepts are separated from those forged directly by Imagindarium's Amaranth essence. Alongside being a divider of concept, Alizarin is the means by which that who is only meant to exist within Imagindarium's vast creation for a finite amount of time may be extinguished from Ambrosia, preventing Ambrosia from falling into stagnation. Due to this, Alizarin is nearly equally essential to the completion of the Ultimate End as that of its baseline Amaranth progenitor, as without the end of old concepts, the ever-changing line to the End would be unable to progress any further.
