After splitting himself into 10 parts he went into a deep slumber only communicating with his children through thoughts. He often complemented some of his children like Uesis, Teftos, Efris and Infina. but he thought differently of his other offsprings. He harbored feelings of discontent for Niithes, Inferni and Nodohiir for their short temper and ugly looks. Nodohiir once in distaste to his fathers opinions sought to reap revenge. With immense strength he ripped the fabric of space in anger, managing to create a hole of pure void that still remains to this day in the void of night. Furious, his father with a slight fear of what he had created used the last of his power to seal Nodohiir in a cage for thousands of years.
But the creation of Eros would not be if the story ended there. After a while Niithes the now god of death came up to his brother and proposed a deal. Niithes was fascinated with the fact that Nodohiir could destroy what their father had created. He who had hopes of being free from the judgment and restraint of his father, speculated a plan. He sought council with his prisoned brother and proposed his plan. He would free his brother if he would help him kill their father for he had too much power and he was selfish for not letting his children create like he had done before. Nodohiir agreed to the deal only if all the other children agreed as well. Inferni agreed to the deal as he wanted to create a twisted form of life for himself. Arcanai agreed but only if he could have his fathers soul. Infina agreed but only if she could have her fathers wings. The other gods did not agree to the deal as they did not trust their brother. The five gods managed to free Nodohiir with their joined power. When Nodohiir walked out of the prison he went straight for his father. Even with their father at his weakest the fight lasted for an Incomprehensible infinity. When the fighting was over their father was slain. After the death of their father the Children created their world. Aurea took her fathers blood and created the sea.
Nodohiir took his fathers bones and molded them into mountains, land and islands.
Uesis refused to defile his fathers body and take any part of what had happened. In grief he took his own heart, brightest of all. He fused his own soul into his heart and placed it atop his fathers soul, creating the sun.
Infina took the last breath of air from her fathers lungs creating the atmosphere of Eros.
Efris took her fathers veins and created all the growth and plants of Eros.
Teftos took his fathers eyes, and with them molded all the animals of Eros.
Inferni took his fathers brain and threw it into his flame, through a ritual he created the first flame, a fire that would burn forever, from the first flame came the primordial dragons, first of their kind.

Arcanai and Niithes were the only ones left. Niithes had promised Arcanai the soul of their father. but the brothers most cunning both knew that Niithes was lying. Jolting towards the soul, the brothers raced towards the unlimited power of the founder's soul. Both brothers connected with the soul at the same time. A flash of light covered the world and when it faded the two brothers were not the same. Arcanai had lost his memory as well as his mind while Niithes had lost his body and material form. Their siblings, furious of his betrayal, punished him by trapping Niithes in a void inside the core of Eros. And there he would live forever. But in his curse came the inspiration of his creation. Niithen used his power to influence all souls of Eros, drawing the soul from all who had lost their body, becoming the god of death.
Arcanais Mind was now gone, but not from the world it shattered and split, weaving his magic into every creation of his siblings. In that creating what is now called magic of the world.
But at last one thing is missing, the mortals of Eros. After the creation was a moment of peace, until the void of space Nodohiir had ripped, split opened once again.But this time something crawled out, a deformed life. Not one but millions. Hollowed bodies of the first man came pouring out of the void. The gods were displeased with this new form and sought to destroy it, cleanse it of Eros. But a voice penetrated their mind, the voice of Uthiin their dead brother. He would give man the grace of his light to guide them. Making them part of the divine and habitants of Eros. The gods agreed to their brothers wish and the mortal man became one of the worlds creation.
