Before the world, there was only the void. A dark part of the of existence bereft of sun or starlight.
A tiny flicker appeared and slowly grew bigger as it approached the centre of the void. That small flicker was a great fire carried by a Silver entity followed by an entourage of ethereal spirits that moved like silk sheets gently blown in the wind.
The fire barer placed the great flame at the centre of the void and all gathered around it. They had came to bring this part of the void into existence with the cosmos. Celvar the deer maiden has come to bring a new world into the universe.
Fire of creation, Celvar and her spirits formed a new world.
With a golden rock, Celvar used her hammer to tap the sun into existence and with a handful of rocks she crushed them together, creating the two pearl moons.
With a mote of flame, Celvar created a sphere of clay, decorated it with the moons and placed it next to the golden sun. She then went down into the clay with her spirits and began shaping the world.
Together they shaped the lands and mountains with their hands. Painted the blue skys of day, the sparkle of night and the in between of twilight, in which Celvar loved most. They filled the ocean with wine from the stars and with their breath created the clouds.
With Celvars blood and a mote of fire, they filled the centre of the world with warmth, creating the magma core.
with a mote of flame, Celvar created the grains of life and gave it to her spirits to sow life into the world. Fauna and flora grew from these grains.
Beasts appeared and roamed the lush green land's, tiny insects buzz and scuttle amongst the leaves and flowers, marine life that swim in the silent ocean, birds fly with freedom and singing the songs of the rising and waning of the sun. Celvar being fond of mammals, instructed her spirits to create a people from them. The spirits picked a handful from each species and added more motes to them, shaping their bodies like clay. Forming them to walk upright with reaching hands, thinking minds, speaking mouths and feeling hearts.
The spirits asked permission to make people from the lizards and birds.
Celvar granted it on condition that they are moulded the same as the others, the birds lost their wings, and the lizards lost their venom.
The spirits asked if they could make people from the fish and insects.
Celvar forbade it as she feared both would clash with the people of the surface. {in secret insect folk were made underground and merfolk were created in the sea with a outside enitiy}
When the people were made, Celvar’s spirits placed them around the world.
Once all were in place, celvar would awaken them.
Before she could do that, something from the void came. The malignant entity "Marnaru" emerged. Celvar was torn apart by the surprise attack and Marnaru threw her body parts into the world cracking it. When the spirits fought and permanently banished Marnaru, they tended to Celvar who was slowly fading. The world was breaking apart, Celvar was dying and the spirits had little time to save both.
Quickly they mended the world using the body parts of Celvar and the last mote of the flame of creation.
Celvar reappeared to them reborn as the spirit of the planet, however her left arm was missing.
{this all needs to be rewritten}
Celvar reward the spirit's with divinity turning them into Diva's and allowing them freedom to choose their domains and guide the mortals. Other spirits wished only to assist Celvar and the Divas and became their angels.
Then it was time to wake up the moulded people. The angels descended to the earth and woke them. As each awakened the first thing they saw was the angels. Some where frightened and confused but the angels comforted them and taught them to how to survive in their new world.
Generations were helped in this way, until no more could be taught. The Diva's revealed themselves, curious of the beings they had moulded. The mortals on seeing them where in awe and built temples dedicated in worshipping them. The Diva's were pleased and gave their boons for their devotions.
Some Diva's would set up challenges for them and would only give boons for the ones that succeeded. Such as the harsh jungle Diva "Tek'lana" who would grant those physical fortitude in body and mind.
{Need to change, "Celvar realise the mortals depend too much on them and commanded the mortals to do what they can without them" }
but soon the Diva's would realise that the mortals depended too much from them and they commanded the mortals to do what they can on their own. Diva's withdrew and watched the mortals as they grew and built
