Emptiness. There was only Nea, who was nothing, yet also everything, for in it were all the things in the universe. For millenia, it existed on its own, not needing anything else, for it had the essence of all that was to be. And so it was without being until it demanded a change. First it made the earth and the stars to watch over the world it was about to create, and then it birthed the three siblings; Dacera, the beautiful daughter, Dacata, the radiant son, and Monera, the dilligent daughter.

Being the only three beings in time, their own perfect creatures yet also tied to their parent Nea, Dacata espoused his sisters. From his union to Dacera came humans, proud beings destined to rule the world. From his union to Monera, however, came the countless animals that would populate the earth, birds who conquered the skies, fish that ruled over the seas and the rivers, wolves that preyed on the steppes and tigers that crowned themselves kings of the forests, brave aurochs willing to face any danger with their horns. But this only served to plant the seed of distrust.

Dacera’s children soon started to enslave and murder Monera’s folk and the dilligent daughter, grieving, begged her older sister for an end to the bloodshed. Then she found out the Pale One was as cruel as she was beautiful and dismissed her sister’s pleas. “Why should I care for the fate of lesser creatures?” She snarled.

Monera experienced a rage she had never felt before, and stormed out of her sister’s abode. Soon the steppes ran red with Dacera’s folk blood, such was the wrath of the betrayed sister. Against that fury, there was nothing the Pale One could do but to watch as her creation became victim of the pain it had inflicted.

In the end, only Dacata’s intervention put an end to the struggle, he condemned his sisters to dance in the sky and restored balance on the world. Then he climbed to the heavens so everyone would remember the original war, and thus came the night, in which the bloodthirsty sisters reigned, and the sun, in which the light bringer brought peace to all living creatures. Only rarely would the siblings meet, and on such times, wondrous things were bound to happen.
