1.4 The first born

Eos stood firmly upon the obsidian slate, again searching for answers in his place of origin. The perished spires of space and time standing stoically abreast the gateway.

The light of his suns shone with their familiar and pleasant glow, the warm light they provided was akin to that of a sunset, though the air tasted adverse to the past. An unsettling humidity, accompanied by an intensified version of the regular reek of sulphur.

Eos' eyes were ablaze, an unforseen disturbance was surely approaching, but the temptation of possible evidence previously covered caressed his mind.

Through the pires of dark billowing smoke he spotted it. Movement, ever so subtle, amongst the sheets of rock protruding the walls of the crater.

Eos did not feel the sensation of one of his creations, and his face paused as his mind churned, requesting hypotheses for the possible creations of Kus that would venture to this domain.

Unable to acquire a culprit of suitable potential, he raised a hand, with a flash in his eyes he pulled the free matter from the wall upon which the movement had been seen toward him.

Eos eyes widened in shock, a large humanoid creature was detached from the wall. Draconic features, 8 feet tall and covered in scales of dark obsidian, golden eyes embedded within its large and powerful head.

This creature was also a child of his father, but not born of space and time. It squirmed momentarily in Eos psycho-kinetic grip, until their eyes met, as it was pulled through the air toward him it did not break its glare.

Eos' mind was rabid with intense thoughts, he had thought that the Twin Souls were the only left prior to the Context of Reality. This creatures existence surely posed many questions, with the possibility of answers within.

The creatures mouth began to curl at the edges, a smile, and two similar creatures erupted from the rock beside Eos. A harsh red light shone from their eyes and Eos recognized the energy of his origin within them, he lowered their bretheren and looked to each one in turn.

Eos visibly lowered his guard, in an attempt to ignite civil discussion with these entities. Note was taken by the creatures and the tension in the air released. A moments fraction before the first word was to be pronounced and a rustle behind Eos alerted the convened.

Eos snapped his attention back to see four bright, young eyes staring from skirting the plateau. Two of his children had followed him, he recognized their intrigued and beaming eyes as none other than the eldest two.

1.3 Convergence

Far from the bountiful plains enthralled by the presence of the peaceful two, deep within forgotten caverns, persistent from the commencement of the Context of Reality, an ancient serpent of immense collected energies began to awaken from a tedious slumber.

Its golden eyes, breaming with an arcane electricity snapped open, it sensed a great deal of energy within  what once was an empty verse. The serpent raised itself gradually through the caverns, it's near infinite energy awakening with ever inch of ascent.

As the head of the great beast exhumed the caverns, the magnetic winds of the atmosphere brushed it's face, below it a world the size of a galaxy persisted before it. 

The scent of his sibling, Kaos, was prevalent in the essence of the realm. The great beast scanned the millennia of kilometers below, and though it noticed the gate in which his sibling had traversed realities was not active, a great energy resembling Kaos swirled through the stone structure.

The golden serpent slowly opened their great maw, producing an immense monolith of ivory coloured metal, endrenched with primordial saliva and bile from within it's cavities.

This monolith floated high above land, in the highest reaches of the atmosphere. The serpent entwined itself with the monolith, diffusing extreme amounts of arcane energy to activate its purpose.

A pale teal light began to rise like smoke through the columns of the monolith, and from within the inner chambers came forth large creatures, covered in a tainted golden metal, where faces would exist instead sat masks covered in markings unique to each entity. Their shapes almost humanoid, with large shoulders and thin extremedies, their forearms and legs coming to pin-points instead of housing hands or feet. Static wing-like objects perched on the beings' backs, each also unique to the individual as their masks.

The first of a steady flow of these intimidating beings approached the serpent in complete silence. The serpent broke the silence, without opening its mouth a solid, commanding voice fell upon them,  "I am the Angvaegorm, and you are my Angvari," the attendants of this meeting slowly increasing in number, "I impart upon you my understanding of time and space within this realm, and my inherent resolve of balance, Justice."

The Angvari turned and descended upon the Context of Reality slowly, spreading like spores throughout the realm. Their purpose to measure and absorb the entities below into the being of Justice.

The Anvaegorm, now bound to the pylon contemplated, the reaction between his beings of balance and the diverse, unbound formations of the Twin souls would surely wreak havoc within the Context.

The precipice of the Era of Severance had arrived, by the emergence of balance against the whim of creators.
