The Creation Of the Stars
In the time before the gods, there were two beings of untold power, Xeix and Lut. They spent their days playing with their powers like irresponsible children, creating many worlds and populating them with races of people and monsters, plants and animals. When they grew bored with a world, they would destroy it, uncaring of the helpless beings that lived there.
Xeix and Lut had three children; Aelousho, Landrina, and the Fractured. When Xeix and Lut grew bored with the three, they sent the children to live on the world of Noreria, abandoning them in favor of their games with other worlds. Aelousho and Landrina, twins and slightly older than the Fractured, did their best to take care of themselves, their sibling, and the planet. They grew to love it, and everything on it.
When Xeix and Lut came back, centuries later, they saw that Aelousho and Landrina had taken charge of the world Noreria, shaping it to their will and encouraging its growth and development with their care. Despite not caring about the worlds they created or their children, Xeix and Lut became eraged that neither their children or Noreria worshipped them any longer, and planned to destroy everything. They wanted the destruction to be so great that no other world would make the mistake of forgetting them.
The Fractured overheard their plans for destruction and went to their siblings. Aelousho and Landrina were greived that their parents would do such a thing, and went to speak to them. Xeix and Lut refused to see them, too angered by their children's actions. Aelousho and Landrina, knowing their parents would have to be stopped, fell into a helpless despair. The Fractured was troubled, but had a plan.
They lied to their parents, telling them that Noreria would again start worshipping them, and asked Xeix and Lut to come to a huge feast in their honor. All the peoples of the world brought their best dishes for the two parent-gods to eat, and the feast lasted for three days. On the beginning of the third day, the Fractured pulled their siblings aside and told them that the food for that day was dosed with a strong sleeping potion, strong enough to put even the parent-gods to sleep. At the end of the day, Xeix and Lut had eaten all of the food and were very tired from the sleeping drugs. The Fractured offered them a bed, telling the parents that when they woke up, all of Noreria would worship them.
The three siblings snuck into the chamber where their parents were helplessly sleeping. They struck again and again at the parent-gods, hacking them into smaller and smaller pieces. The Fractured, unable to bear the guilt of having planned the death of their parents, ruptured into the three separate gods Idikai, Laen, and Verolia. Landrina felt sorrow for her lost sibling and her parents. Not wanting anyone to forget, she set the pieces of Xeix and Lut aflame with her fire and flung them into the night sky, where they glisten to this day.
