Labyrinth
The land was sleeping this starless night; it was almost time for the dark creatures of the elements to appear. The outcast beings were being transformed into untold of creatures, while deep in the sea animals of unknown swam through the seaweed. Where the roots of the mountain and the trees touch there lay a labyrinth, of what seemed to be insignificant. Many of these labyrinths lay about the earth that held great power, representing either each clan or each element. The labyrinths held their own rank, just like the creatures of the land. The highest ranking Labyrinth held the great powers of the elements of the land, for it was the goddesses of the elements that created this earth. There was the goddess Shoka the earth goddess that started it all. She floated eternally in a black space of nothing and though she was easily content with her life she grew weary of no company. Her sisters were elsewhere in the blackness and she had no way to retrieve them. She created a signal for them in the blackness that was filled with hardness and sent it out floating in the blackness in hopes her sisters would come to it.
Aileana, who was light, came across her sister’s creation first. She was floating in the blackness when she fell into the hardness deformed piece. She was light herself but in order to light the way to her sisters she would have to use all her being. Being the youngest of the goddesses it would take her whole spirit away to create a light big enough. Through the darkness she heard her sister cries and decided to dedicate her life to reuniting them. She took all of her spirit being and formed a giant light in the sky she called the Sun, before dying off she ordered it to follow the hardness around, so no matter where it floated a light would guide her sisters together. With her last breath, her spirit blew up into pieces that spread across the blackness, and when the other sisters saw this they wept for they knew the death of her sister had come. Shoka was the first of the remaining sister to find her hardness again. She gathered all the remnants of her sister Aileana (the stars) and with her power of hardness she gathered them together to create a shrine for Aileana. She placed it next to the hardness and the Sun so that the light shone from it and onto the hardness. She called it the Moon, an angelic name in honour of her sister. Yet, when the Moon reflected the light onto the hardness Shoka screamed and cried for it was bare and ugly. It happened that her two other sisters heard the cry and followed the light.
Both Aria and Fenton came to the light, but it was Aria who spoke first. She asked Shoka what was wrong and Shoka could only point to the hardness. Aria the eldest and most practical of the goddess told her she would add a part of her being to it. She curved the land with flowing liquid and called it waters. There was so much of it big and small that she divided it into seas, lakes, oceans, rivers, and streams. It created large mountains and deep crevices of the hardness. Aria brought Shoka down into the hardness and told her to spread her love where ever the water was not. Green grass filled the hardness and trees, flowers, and all types of plants covered the ground. She called it earth because it was beautiful. Aria told Fenton to add to the earth but she refused, instead she created a barrier that would not cause anything inside the earth to leave. Nothing would touch the stars, the moon, the sun, or her. This took all of Fenton’s power and she too died, but as she died Shoka and Aria cursed her for they could not leave now. The remnants of her spirit were brought down into the earth so she may never leave as well. A labyrinth was created as a shrine to her, for all though they cursed her, she was also their sister. All her power was locked away and the labyrinth was sealed for eternity. Knowing without the magic of the black space they would die out, so they decided to put their last being into a last creation. Aria created magnificent sea creatures of all shapes, sizes and colours. To end off her creation she created beings like the sea creature but like her own image as well. She called them mer-people and set up a kingdom for them deep in the deepest ocean so no one can find them. She appointed a king and queen then set her labyrinth in the heart of their kingdom and waited to die their in peace.
Shoka on the other hand set up humans, and shape shifters, and all sorts of animals intelligent and non alike! She set the humans as the highest ranking for they had no powers like the others with intellectual minds and gave them a kingdom to call their own. She set up a king and queen and gave them rules. She then retreated to the mountains and created a labyrinth to die out peacefully.
