the story of creation itself.

The source of all things existent is a giant glowing mass of white matter, which is called Umun. Umun is neither alive nor dead, and is genderless, and in theory bodiless. It is simply described as an energy, a force from which all things seem to have come from in the Prionic universe. I have noticed also that Prion is 8 million years older than zaemon, and that umun is far older than both of the two combined. Umun exists in a separate dimension that is impossible to find or enter, something so complex that no one could understand. So to summarize, Umun is a complex white glowing energy that was basically the father of life and creation for these universes.1

After Prion opened, Umun reacted strangely to the birth of a new universe. So as a counter-reaction Umun did something truly remarkable. It allowed a piece of itself to break free, and become its own entity. This entity was spat into Prion and took form, becoming somewhat alive and conscious, very much like a setujin, or even a human. its body was resemblant to that of a setujin, or perhaps the Ip Sil simply chronicled that to make it seem more important to the people of Kendaria. regardless, this entity was found by the oldest race of being in all of the cosmos, older than any planet or galaxy, even older than the birth of the first universes. These creatures have simply always existed, in whichever universe may be active at whatever time, they are always there. They were named Aom, simply after the noises they made. they were long, inconcievably enormous gray splurts of matter that were alive, and bobbed up and down and side to side as though they were dancing, and any Aom throughout any universe would always appear to be bobbing to the beats of an ancient rhythm, one that had beaten before any universes were ever existent to begin with. they made every object in the universe dwarfed in size, being literally billions of light years high and some fewer billions across. 2

Moving on, Aom named this new entity Agil, which meant "first" in an ancient language they spoke. Agil became the temporary leader of Prion, not really having much to rule over but instead spending most of his time doing forms of meditation with Aom beings, which expanded his mind and allowed him to think as an individual, and thus further pushing the envelope, and the boundaries for what "life" and "mind" could actually come to mean.3

Agil learned quite a bit from Aom. They taught him to be one with his mind, they told him the stories of ancient worlds and wars and creatures that had once existed, and of others that would come to be, although remaining vague on details. Agil became fascinated with the history of the universe, and later he began to explore the cosmos freely and discover the worlds and beings that existed. 4

But when he returned to the Aom, he would find that they had discovered another being, much like Agil, but somehow completely different.5

This being glowed bright white like agil, but still had a shape to its mass, looking like a humanoid body of sorts. But this one had long, flowing hair that ended just past its feet. It smiled at him and took his hand, and silently they flew through the darkness of space...but somehow, for Agil, there was nothing mundane about this darkness. With this new being there to share it with him, it seemed more meaningful, and somehow infintely more beautiful. 6

What had taken Agil's hand and carried him a second time through the vastness of Prion was another of Umun's many generations that would occur in succession. But this one was special, just as essential as Agil was, for this one was a female. Agil named her Risminae, and if i'm not mistaken, Agil simply made it up upon whispering it into her ear. So it has no traceable meaning, only that her lover named her, basically. 7

Agil and Risminae are basically the starting point of an entire lineage of demigods and beings that would grow down a very long line indeed. Through their first voyage through Prion together, they established what we know of as emotions, feeling them literally for the first time, for any being of their kind. Other creatures lived throughout Prion and Zaemon, but they were biologically created, because of environmental changes, or simply because a planet was capable of harboring life. But none had been created from a substance of energy that is entirely inexplicable at any level. Agil and Risminae would create the basics of life itself, in a way that it had never been created before...by the will of an existent being, looking to create some other form of existent being. Over their travels through light years in space they would create various demigods that represented a different energy, energies that did not have significance until much much later..8

Agil and Risminae gave birth to many demigods who would help contribute to the creation of kendaria itself. first were three sisters, Elrina, Sylana and Tyrinea. they had their mothers beauty, long flowing hair and large beautiful eyes, and glowing skin the color of nonchalant summerclouds. These triplets would later be known as the Sisters Solemn.9

as years passed, other children were born; Faela, Damin, and Uzaros. these children would also be educated by the Aom, which had instructed their father. they were taught the ancient ways and meditated with Aom for centuries at a time. while they underwent training, Umun had been reacting very strangely in its own dimension somewhere in an unreachable existent zone. Since there was no one before me to truly chronicle the actions and reactions of Umun, I've taken it upon myself to fully record what I have observed of this magnificent material.10

Imagine a universe that was completely starless, planetless, anything-less. devoid of basically everything except for this massive, shimmering cloud of white energy, that emits a low hum that reverberates all through the blackness of its sector. I believe that I am the only living mortal that has ever witnessed the magnificence of this energy, although being here in these strange universes is making me feel skeptical about what the term "living" actually means. Umun is beautiful. It's like a cloud that you may find yourself flying through in the most vivid of dreams, and when you are inside this cloud you feel this strange yet completely natural sensation of warmth, as though Umun acknowledges that you are within its grasp and has decided to embrace you. Umun is by far the most incredible and inconcievable element of life that any living creature has ever encountered...but then again, I have not finished my travels through these strange new worlds, and I hope that they will never end.11

But as usual, I have strayed from the story.12

I have noticed that Umun underwent two immense cycles, both of which caused the seemingly accidental births of all of Umun's first line of children. These cycles are caused by the expansion and contraction of the dimension in which Umun exists. This dimension is so small that it basically is only big enough to hold Umun within it, and everything else is infinite black. All that can be seen from this dark place is the light of Umun's power, from whichever corner, or whatever distance. So this small place contracted so much, at one point, that it began to crush Umun inside its decreasing space. But Umun refused this total contraction and instead exploded outward, immediately pushing this dimension back to its previous position and breaking off pieces of itself that floated away from it in every direction. One of these pieces moved toward the tunnel-void which connects directly to Prion, and got sucked through, into the Prion universe. it's immediate reaction to this exposure to a new realm made it morph and change into something other than a simple ball of white light, it became Agil. And later, another piece of that same explosive reaction bounced and moved through Umun's realm and also was spat into Prion, which later became Risminae. So basically, this cycle that Umun went through caused the creation of all its children. 13

The second reaction to a contracting environment would be even stronger and more powerful than the last, and this time, three pieces would make it through the tunnel-void and into Prion. These three would later be named Gennomil, Xaluman, and Dragas.14

Gennomil was an inventor. He was very smart and enjoyed taking things apart, analyzing everything philosophically for what it was, and building things. He would be a major influence on the entire story, both in the outcomes of his siblings and that of his own children, as well. Xaluman was a second female creation that fell deeply in love with Gennomil and his intelligence. Gennomil, at first, wanted nothing to do with her. He isolated himself entirely from the others and dreamt of exploring the universes as Agil had, being somewhat inspired by his older brother. At this point, once all of the creations of Umun had been generated, Agil had been proclaimed ruler of Prion. His title was recognized and bestowed upon him by Aom, and the others accepted this, for they all looked up to Agil and his seemingly infinite wisdom. All but one...Dragas.15

Risminae was to give birth another time, and all of the creations of Umun gathered around her as she was cradled by Aom. She became very weak and slow-moving, and had very little energy to speak. When she did, she explained that she felt different. That she was going to give birth to something more than one simple life form, she could just feel that it was going to be different, and that she could not explain why. Of course, it was everyone's instinct to help her, but no one quite knew what they should do. Risminae explained that she felt that instead of giving birth to one child, she would be giving birth to an entire civilization of children, and that these beings did not belong in the darkness of Prion. 16

Gennomil spoke about his recollection of a certain spell that Aom had taught them once, or rather a set of spells, that would allow any being of their kind to shapechange into various different things. These spells had no name as a group, but each individual spell had a name that was over a hundred characters long.17

He remembered that one of those forms that they were capable of becoming was something called a "life-sphere", or a planet that was capable of harboring many many different life forms within it. Mentioning this to Risminae made her realize at once what she had to do. Her destiny would be to give her own life to become a world of her own, to harbor this set of children that she would be giving birth to. But she knew these creatures would not survive in the atmosphere of Prion, or the lack thereof. 18

The children of Umun meditated before the mighty Aom that embraced Risminae through her weak spell, seeking an answer to their dilemma. During this meditation, the Aom communicated telepathically with Agil and sent him imagery of a universe that looked somewhat like Prion, but yet completely different. Somehow Agil understood that this in fact WAS an entirely separate universe, and that this was where Risminae needed to go in order to complete her destiny.19

With Aom's guidance, all of umun's children streaked through the cosmos to a remote section of Prion that they had rarely ever been to. Here they would encounter a tear in the fabric of space and time that they would need to enter in order to reach this separate place.20

This alternate universe was known as Zaemon. Here they would find thousands of millions of different creatures on separate worlds, even some that existed in Zaemon itself. Unmistakably, the difference between this new universe and Prion was like life and death. Compared to Zaemon, Prion was nothing but a cold, dark, silent realm with relatively nothing to offer for exploration, other than some stellar marvels and dreamlike nebulae. Zaemon had waterfalls that cascaded down the nothingness, seeming to have come from nowhere, and leading to nowhere again. All through the emptiness there was a hint of blue to the depths, a blue which had seemed to appear red in Prion. This new place captivated Umun's children in an inspiring way. Zaemon was a motherly universe, bearing literally infinite amounts of children throughout its entire span. Risminae was certain that it was this universe that would be the realm where she would become her own world.21

...All the records that I have found doccumenting this point in the history of time itself become hazy and vague from this point on. It is a moment where most of umun's children were splitting up in different directions, and began doing different things to make structure and feel a sense of purpose, all inspired by Risminae and her bravery. 22

Gennomil had gathered Risminae's children together secretly and spoke to them of another spell from the Aom line which would allow its user to transform into a specific energy. Gennomil knew that without a set of fundamental elements to rule the new world, that it would become weak and brittle, and Risminae would become weathered and eventually turn dark and begin to dissolve into nothingness. And so her six children created something incredible, with gennomil's help they were able to fully realize his idea. Gennomil decided to create something called Ixsundarcha. I do not know how this works, but judging by ancient Ip Sil records that I have come across in my travels, this so-called Ixsundarcha was something like an enclosed atmosphere, a flat, colorless, seemingly nonexsistent zone which trapped new energies inside of it and allowed these energies to be harnassed and used on separate worlds. If that makes any sense, please explain it to me, because the more i try to understand it, the farther away from truth it becomes.23

Alright. So Gennomil created Ixsundarcha to maintain the energies that Risminae's children would become, but i do not know what it looked like, or what it was made of, or even how it worked. In sketches left by Gennomil himself, it shows a portion of the universe near Galdramu, the dual-solar system which Kendaria was a part of. this portion of the cosmos is sectioned off into six different "facets", as he calls them. I believe he was trying to mimic a diamond, or perhaps a prism, or some other multi-faceted object that had caught Gennomil's interest. Faela, Damin, Uzaros, Elrina, Sylana and Tyrinea gathered together with Gennomil, and with his guidance and casting of ancient spells he converted them into separate energies, and trapped them in this strange and inconcievable zone. Some make it sound as though Gennomil had trapped them there without their consent, while others argue that it was planned ahead and that the children were very much in accord with Gennomil and his plan. 24

Each child became a separate element that would be the fundamental energies on Risminae's new global boddess. Faela became princess of the waterwaves, Damin, the lord of flames, Uzaros, creator of the winds. Elrina, Sylana and Tyrinea were made into a different kind of energy. Gennomil basically set the standards for time itself, separating it into three dimensions and making each sister the ruler of each realm of time. Elrina became the past, Sylana the present, and Tyrinea the future. 25

Once they were sealed in Ixsundarcha, Gennomil returned to Risminae and the others, to witness the change itself. Gennomil describes this change in an ancient manuscript: "I watched as my sister changed into the life-sphere. The dark lines accentuating her features suddenly disappeared, and became a white so bright that I was forced to turn away. When I was able to look once more, I saw that she had become a deep, intriguing blue color and was growing in size slowly as she recited every line of the spell's name. I wanted to cry for her, knowing I would never hear her calm words or her compassionate plans, but somehow, I knew that this was for the better, and that she would be immortal as this world. I swear to always protect Kendaria, no matter what the cost."26

And so Risminae became a planet with one enormous ocean and one large continent which seemed relatively small in comparison to the ocean it drifted through. At first this life sphere was a lonely, silent place which harbored no life and attracted no visitors. This place...would become the most important and fought-over object in either of the two universes.27

and that's a wrap.28

    lol...um...yeah it is dood
    resemblant

    \Re*sem"blant\ (-blant), a. [F., a . and p. pr. fr. ressembler to resemble. See Resemble.] Having or exhibiting resemblance; resembling. [R.] --Gower.

    so BOOYAH.

    and second of all, the reason why the names are so foreign sounding is because i want them to in NO WAY relate to people, the human race in general. it has nothing to do with mankind and deals with completely separate beings and lifeforms, many of them may resemble humanoid beings, but they are not us, homo sapiens. not at all. so thats why the names are so different sounding, and i the fact that its hard for you to read and understand makes me happy, because it shouldnt be anything that a human being could possibly comprehend, since im dealing with such unfamiliar subjects. anyway, thanks for the comment dood, and im glad you liked it.

    You need a spell check, the word "resemblant" does not exist.
    Generally speaking it was a good read. It held the attention and flowed well. The place and entity names in here where a bit of a mouthful and perhaps might have slipped into the reader's conciousness better as simpler words, maybe of three, four or five letters. I find that people seem to like best what they can relate to most, so the simpler the telling the better. Too much technical detail can be offputting.
    Good effort though.

    lol, reenie is my sister's name. by strange names, do you mean bad ones, or just different? because i did make them all up, but i figured they needed to sound as alien to humans as possible, since everything that goes on in the story has nothing to do with the human race at all whatsoever. so that was pretty cool. lol.

    Lol, I always love it whenever I'm able to read something completely original and so well thought-out that I'm left to wonder, "How in the hell could someone come up with something like this?" Your story has managed to accomplish this, and I praise and applaud you for this. Fantastic write!

    P.S. Work on your capitilization, that's the only beef I have with this story. Other than that, like I said, fantastic write!
