It was a dark history concerning the origin of the Blight that tainted the Grand Aeons, stemming from the treachery of Akh, who cunningly manipulated the will of Yom, the Son of Night, to defile Laila, his own sister.
From this forbidden union were born twelve grand entities, later known as the Grand Aeons.
These twelve sons and daughters were Bahamut, Ave, Demantra Ent'tra, Mythria, Karasu Tengu, Ifrit, Titan Og, Nyanja, Eira, Ba'i Yang, Astamat, and Rivotra. Each bore the seed of unique power and destiny.
Long ago, before the schism and the eternal wars, the Naraka Continent was unified, stretching like a breathtaking expanse, a masterpiece of the Creator's design.
Laila, the Daughter of the Sun who radiated brilliant light, suddenly became aware of the manipulation of will perpetrated by Akh, her eldest brother, after giving birth to her twelve children. A bitter truth struck her like a violent storm.
Akh's power, once unmatched, was now divided among Laila's twelve offspring, slowly but surely weakening his influence over the Daughter of the Sun.
Laila was overcome with profound fear for her transgression, for the seed that grew within her womb from her own brother, Yom, the Son of Night. Guilt haunted her every passing moment.
In despair and gripping fear, Laila concealed her children within a hidden dimension she named Orkusshura.
There, she created life, endowing them with environment and form. However, her power was not that of the Creator, who transcended all.
Her creation was marked by inherent limitations and imperfections.
Ironically, the contents of the Orkusshura World underwent uncontrolled changes and mutations.
The Blight's curse, which had also tainted Laila during Akh's punishment, permeated her created world. Darkness and strangeness became the inevitable hallmarks of Orkusshura.
Nevertheless, fate had its own course. Laila's twelve children emerged from Orkusshura with ease, as if the dimensional walls could not contain the power that flowed fiercely within their blood.
They were captivated by the beauty of Naraka, so different from the dark Orkusshura filled with terrifying, bizarre creatures.
Even the sun in Orkusshura cast a mystical purple light, painting the sky with a similar hue, a stark contrast to Naraka, which radiated warmth and abundant life.
However, this beauty fostered greed within the hearts of Laila's twelve children, including Ave. They began to vie for power, ambition blinding their hearts, and division became inevitable.
Once, the skies of Naraka wept. Torrential rain drenched the earth for forty days and forty nights without ceasing. Bahamut, Laila's firstborn, felt an extraordinary unease.
His instinct for dominance drove him to seize territory from his siblings without delay. With reckless courage, he emerged from his hiding place. Instantly, his Mother's tears, transformed into a tormenting rain, lashed his body with tremendous force.
For seven days, he lay helpless, unable to move from the spot where his feet first touched the ground. His skin blistered horribly, blood flowed freely from every pore and opening in his body.
Yet, on the seventh day, a miracle occurred. The pain and torment slowly faded, replaced by the warmth of his Mother's love seeping into his soul.
He felt a strong connection, and most importantly, he had been freed from the shackles of the Blight that had plagued him since birth. Bahamut gained profound wisdom from his painful experience.
He began to lure his siblings out of hiding, hoping they too would be touched by the cleansing rain. Merrily, Bahamut danced in the downpour before Ave's hiding place, hoping his younger sibling would be tempted to come out.
Initially, Ave was afraid to emerge. He felt excruciating pain as the raindrops touched his skin. However, he also witnessed the miracle around him. Plants grew lush, and all manner of living creatures seemed to thrive under the deluge.
And there, his brother Bahamut danced joyfully, as if the rain had no ill effect on him. This sight enraged Ave. With all his might, he lunged at Bahamut, venting his pent-up frustration.
Ave suffered a fate similar to Bahamut's. After enduring great torment, he was finally freed from the Blight's grip. Together with Bahamut, they sought to persuade and entice their other siblings to come out.
Ave even stood tall before Rivotra's hiding place, trying to lure him out of the darkness. However, the rain suddenly stopped, and his efforts met with failure. On that day, under the scorching sun, destiny had set its course.
Only Bahamut, Ave, Demantra Ent'tra, Mythria, Karasu Tengu, and Nyanja managed to break free from the deadly clutches of the Blight.
Meanwhile, Ifrit, Titan Og, Eira, Ba'i Yang, Astamat, and Rivotra remained trapped under the misleading influence of Akh's darkness.
The Blight awakened a thirst for power within them, driving them to claim Naraka as their absolute domain, without sharing with others.
Disputes and wars among the siblings raged for centuries, staining the landscape of Naraka with endless destruction and bloodshed.
Until one day, amidst the eternal chaos, an unexpected miracle occurred. Two human figures suddenly appeared from nowhere, entering the domain of Bahamut and his siblings who had been freed from the debilitating Blight.
They were new humans created by the Creator with a beautiful promise. The Grand Aeons felt immense joy at the arrival of these two mortal beings. They believed that their mother had sent this pair of humans as a gift.
The humans were named Astaguna Rah's and Hara Constantine, a man and a woman. Their arrival brought a glimmer of new hope to a world ravaged by ceaseless war and strife.
One time, as Ave observed the two humans, he underwent a segema, suddenly shifting into the Nypocampus, a mysterious realm of consciousness. It was there that Ave first understood everything about the creation of the universe.
A voice echoed, filling the space, declaring itself as the Creator. It was his Uncle, his mother's younger brother, Jagannath. Jagannath then called out to Ave, his voice filling the conscious space with a powerful vibration.
"Ave, my beautiful niece. I deeply yearn for a direct meeting with you, but because you have been purified by the tears of my sister Laila, who is your mother,"
"Then you would perish merely by My presence there. Therefore, I can only speak with you, but cannot be present to meet you physically."
"Guide Astaguna and Hara to come before Me. Teach them how to worship Me sincerely, so that they and you may return to Me in the promised place."
"Refer to Me as the Creator before these humans. Never utter My name, nor the names of My siblings. Likewise with your Mother. Call her the Sun Goddess before these humans."
"For they will perish if they know Our names filled with Astral Flux power, as well as the name of your grand mother. Our power is too immense for fragile mortal beings to comprehend."
"Seven days from now, do not meet with these humans. I will send down the Sun Scripture and the Scripture of Knowledge to them, guiding the initial steps of their new civilization."
"Ave, my beloved niece. There is one more thing you must not do with your brothers and sisters. That is to marry these humans, be it Astaguna or Hara, and all their descendants. Marriage with mortal beings will bring unforeseen and possibly terrible consequences."
After that, Ave awoke from everything, his breath ragged. He immediately told his siblings everything he had experienced, about his mysterious journey into the Nypocampus.
However, it turned out that his brothers and sisters had also been visited by Jagannath at the same time, each receiving different messages and tasks according to their destined paths.
With Jagannath's loving guidance, they divided the tasks of guiding the newly arrived humankind in Naraka. A new era for Naraka and its inhabitants had begun with new hopes and challenges.
Bahamut patiently taught them about vast astronomical knowledge, the regular cycles of day and night, the mysterious movements of stars and planets, opening their understanding of the boundless universe.
Ave devotedly guided them with unwavering faith in the Creator, and built a magnificent Sun temple as a center of worship and reverence for the Almighty.
Nyanja wisely taught them how to catch fish and make necessary tools, also emphasizing the importance of preserving natural resources so that life could continue harmoniously.
Mythria diligently taught them reading and writing, and developed simple yet useful technologies to support daily life, laying a solid foundation for the progress of their civilization.
Karasu Tengu skillfully taught them effective hunting methods, accurate archery, and formidable martial arts, equipping them with the ability to survive in the challenging wilderness.
Meanwhile, Demantra Ent'tra, with his profound knowledge, taught efficient irrigation and farming techniques, as well as animal husbandry, ensuring the availability of food for Astagana and Hara.
Thus, Ave and his siblings joyfully guided the two humans in their new lives. Until one day, Rivotra, who was never satisfied and always sought chaos, came to tempt Astaguna with all the deceit of his power, still influenced by the dark Blight.
He poisoned the fish in the sea with the deadly Blight, making it so Astaguna only needed to collect the floating fish without the effort of fishing as before.
Rivotra also manipulated Astaguna's plantations, unnaturally accelerating plant growth so that Astaguna did not have to wait long to enjoy the harvest.
All of Rivotra's deceptions successfully ensnared the unfortunate Astaguna. Everything felt easy and instant, requiring no hard work or sacrifice.
Astaguna, now influenced by the Blight, tried to persuade Hara to listen only to Rivotra and immediately build a small temple to worship Rivotra, promising ease and abundant wealth.
But Hara felt a gripping fear in her heart. A strong instinct within her said that something was wrong with Astaguna and his drastic change in behavior.
Hara, who was pregnant, disliked the fish caught by Astaguna, sensing a strange and unpleasant aura from it. Due to her pregnancy, she only wanted to eat meat from fresh and natural forest birds.
Astaguna, now completely under the influence of the Blight, continued to try and convince Hara, even attempting to forcibly take her to Rivotra's domain filled with darkness.
But Ave sensed Hara's deep unease and immediately took her, protecting her from Rivotra's misleading evil influence. Rivotra, who had just nearly secured the two humans, was furious that Ave dared to interfere with his cunning and wicked plan.
With burning rage, Rivotra pursued Ave until he entered the peaceful domain of Bahamut. Bahamut, who was searching for Astaguna, saw Ave carrying Hara being chased by an enraged Rivotra.
Without the slightest hesitation, he lunged at Rivotra with full force. With his mighty power, he struck Rivotra with a devastating lightning strike that shook the heavens and the earth.
The land of Naraka trembled violently. A massive chasm yawned open, splitting the land into two separate parts from the easternmost to the westernmost edge.
Bahamut firmly demarcated the boundaries of his domain, issuing a stern warning to Rivotra to acknowledge his insolence in entering his territory without permission.
"Rivotra! Never again dare to enter and cross this divided land!" His voice echoed throughout the heavens, shaking the sky and the earth with irresistible power.
