Creation
In the early days of the world,there were only the First Beings – Tempus(time), Tractus(space), Ventus(wind), Oceana(water), Ignis(fire), and Terra(earth). One day, Oceana brought forth the Beings known as Dragon and Phoenix - a brother and sister. Phoenix burned brightly in the morning sky and became called 'Sun', associated with everything warm and bright like her father, Ignis. Dragon, who was not like his sister who gave off her own light, absorbed what he could and would provide light to the world at night and came to be called 'Moon'. He was associated with water and everything that happened in the night. More time passed and animals were added to the world's earth, waters, and sky. But Terra felt as if something was missing,so she and Ventus created another creature that they called Humans. After everything had been created, they were called the Seventh Born, Dragon and Phoenix being the First Born. Of these 'Seventh Born', the First Born found a special group that took special care of the world's animals, and so bestowed upon them the ability to transform into an animal, giving them the souls of the selected animals. But there was another group who were jealous of these people and were loyal to Abyssus and Chaos, sons of Tempus and Tractus. Chaos took the skins of hunted animals and showed them how to make an oil to apply to the skins so that when they were worn, the wearer became that animal. Those chosen by Dragon and Phoenix were called 'Nevgin',while the worshipers of Abyssus and Chaos became nomads known as Skinwalkers. The Skinwalkers were nomadic because Dragon, the guardian of the Nevgin's chosen country, would not allow them entrance, saying that their practices were a blasphemy, hunting an animal for its skin alone just so they could turn into an animal. It was at this time that Dragon acted as a wall to protect his and his sister's people while they built their country. This country was soon called Angati. To the west were other countries that had access to the sea, so the people of Angati used their rivers that ran through the heart of the capitol as a trade route. 2: The First Six
The First Six
Before the world had been made and the First Six had been born, there were two Beings simply known as Mother and Father, the parents to the First Six. Their first child was their son, Tempus, who held sway over the flow of time. Next were his sisters Tractus, Terra, and Oceana - the sky, earth, and waters. Oceana also had another facet to her powers, able to make water so cold that it turned to snow and ice. The next to be born was their brother Ventus, who controlled the wind. After him was their youngest, firey, trickster brother, Ignis. It was his vast warmth that drew his sister Oceana to him, melting her heart. Since the day the girls were born, the sky hung from the heavens, earth sat below, and water covered much of the land, but there was no light. One day while bored, Ignis filled a mountain with fire that could only be doused by Oceana's sea. When the steam cleared away, there was a beautiful island. Ignis saw the way his older sister admired the mountainous island and promised her a palace of her own there, on the condition that she married him. Oceana agreed and soon, much to everyone's surprise, she had brought forth not one, but two eggs. One egg was gold with flames decorating the base of it while its sibling was silver with a base of ocean waves. when the first one hatched, a bird-like creature emerged and light illuminated the world. When she fell asleep, her sibling hatched, bathing the world in a soft, white light. It was just as Ignis and Oceana's son hatched that the first of Tempus and Tractus' sons was being born. Due to these events, the eldest of the First Six designated himself to be the one who decided when things happened. Tempus made it so that only one of his siblings held sway over the world's weather at a time and that his oldest son's darkness only came when Ignis' son rose in the night sky. They were all at peace until Terra and Ventus created the Human race. Then the fight between the First and Second Born began. 3: The Eclipse
The Eclipse
It is said that every 50 years,Phoenix becomes ill and refuses to go anywhere. At that time, Dragon takes his sister away, and all that can be seen is the moon until Phoenix recovers. On the final day of Phoenix's illness, she is said to burst into flames to heal herself, thus beginning her life over again.
