Athiss' Creation
And so, with her strong hands she molded the earth to her will; the tall mountains and the deep oceans; every little corner of the world was to be created by her. She worked hard, her hands becoming calloused and sore, but she loved what she was creating so she did not stop until it was finished.This is the legend of the world's creation. It is centered around Athiss, how she came to be and how she created the world. This interpretation is told and taught by The Silver Eagles, being one of the many versions of the creation myth.Athiss looked at her finished creation. A beautiful planet ready for life to grow and flourish. She felt the exhaustion flood over her and she slowly fell into a deep sleep, giving her last glance to the new world.
Summary
Before there was anything, there was nothing. In the darkness there was a calm. No sound was made, nothing could be seen.
At one point the calm became tired of being alone, so it created an entity; Athiss.
The myth starts off with The Calm. This period is called the Calm because of the silence and nothingness. This was the time before time, when nothing existed. The Calm then creates the first thing: Athiss. Technically she is not a she, not a human nor even a creature. Athiss is an energy, like a cloud of magic floating around in the nothingness.
She is of course lonely, so she wants to create something. A piece of her breaks off, and becomes its own entity; Kassuro. "He" is small and can't do much, but Athiss cares much for him, like a mother cares for her child.
Athiss wants to create more for Kassuro, instead of them living in the nothingness. She starts off with other clouds of energy, but contrary to Athiss and Kassuro, these clouds are not alive in the same sense. They are made of hot gases that burst with light and energy. The clouds move around, creating beautiful scenes of shapes and colors, mixing themselves among each other, creating new clouds and formations. Kassuro loves to watch, and he tries to immitate Athiss' works. Puffs of smoke and sparks is the only thing he can create, his powers not yet manifested. Athiss looks at the formations, sees their energy and heat. She sees the life they carry.
While Kassuro is working on his powers, playing with the clouds, Athiss starts her new project. She captures a cloud and starts shaping it with her hands. First, the cloud objects, flowing though her grip and keeps its loose form. She asks the cloud if it wants to become something more, something bigger. When she starts to mold it a second time, the cloud keeps still and allows her to transform it into something solid. Athiss is proud of the cloud's willingness to explore new territories, and it starts glowing of pride. It glows and glows and glows, heating up in the process. Athiss releases the form and it floats out into the expanse. Parts of other clouds broke off and followed the glowing sphere, garnering a following.
