Putting the Odds to Sleep

Since becoming the oceans of The Land, Daeglyses has only fully awoken once: when the world truly needed them to reappear and to save the world from being torn fully asunder.
Unlike most worlds, the gods of The Land of The Power were created by the people, not the other way around. Without meaning to, the people inspired the very fabric of the universe to produce a god that matched their descriptions and that made sense of all the confusing parts of life, like justice and violence. The Grey One was the result of blind worship and folklore, and since their birth, the Grey One has watched the people grow and live. Their involvement in the goings-on of The Land only further affirmed the beliefs of the people, and the religion that acknowledged the Grey One spread until it it could be found across all corners of the land.
However, the original understanding of the Grey One was that they never really took sides and never really stood for one purpose. The Grey One is balance, justice, good and evil, all considered and represented in the actions of the Grey One. Over time, these beliefs morphed and split, and the new ideas overrode those of the original religion until there was no longer a Grey One, only a Dark One and a Light One.

The Dark One believes evil and destruction are necessary for the birth of new things and new ideas: that creation cannot occur without destruction, and that order and preservation must - at some point - fail to make way for the new.

The Grey One believes that destruction, creation, and preservation are all vital in the universe, and that none of them are inherently good or bad: simply components in the cycle of the universe. Chaos and order must both exist simultaneously.

The Light One believes that what has been created should be protected and given salvation, no matter the cost. Destruction is the bane of all things in the Light One's eyes, and all should be allowed to exist and flourish.

The Dark One and the Light One regularly quarrelled and fought over the worlds, one seeking to remove things that stood for too long in order to allow the world to advance, and the other seeking to preserve even the least of things as if to cultivate a cosmic museum.
The war was felt even among the people of the world, who saw their own representation of the Grey One as the correct one, and seeing to the ruin of the other religion in order to preserve their own. But such hypocrisy wounded the great deities. The followers of The Dark One seeing to the preservation of their religion? The followers of The Light One seeing to the destruction of another?
Daeglyses - the silent observer of centuries - saw what was happening, and took it into their own hands to end the affair.
The ocean took a long, shaky breath, and with a long mournful groan, forced The Power to yield. Daeglyses - the ocean - exhausted a long and suffering lullaby into the cosmos, and put the two quarrelling gods to sleep.
Ever since their Fall, the world has existed wthout the direct involvement of deities, lest they follow the example of the two Greys at odds who continue to slumber to this day, tampering only within the worlds they see in their dreams.
