Ever Light thrust yet dissipated, and ever Night retreated yet smothered. Thus the two combatants locked in an ever-widening gyre of eternal creation and destruction. Countless champions of both Houses arose, scoured the face of creation in their potency, only to fall each in turn, their names now lost to memory. Then, in what some named the ten thousandth turn of the spreading whorl of the two hosts, there came to the shimmering curtain edge of battle one unknown to either House, and he did castigate the combatants. ‘Who are you to speak thusly?’ demanded he who would come to be known as Draconus. One who has moved upon the Void long enough to know this will never end.’ ‘It is ordained,’ answered a champion of Light, Liossercal. ‘Ever must one rise, the other fall.’ Disdainful, the newcomer thrust the opponents apart. And so both Houses fell upon the stranger tearing him into countless fragments. Thus was Shadow born and the first great sundering ended. Myth Fragment |
