Synopsis[]
Karstein asked so... ...she's Aria, the one that Arin mentioned, she should come closer. Aria answered yes, Sir. Aria approached Karstein, answering shortly. Karstein said goodness, Aria is so tall, she should kneel down before him. Aria answered yes, Sir... Karstein used his magic on Aria, who was kneeling quietly, and examined her. Karstein thought Arin promised to revert Aria's original form, that does mean she's not human. Karstein was surprised and suddenly muttered that what kind of messed-up fool created this. Arin wondered. After a while, Karstein opened his mouth as if in disbelief that this is... ...the Almighty Creature. Pete was surprised and shouted what, Aria is... the Almighty Creature. Erkas looked at Pete and asked indifferently that what's with that human. Helmernod said what's wrong with him. Karstein said to Pete that ...why he does look so shocked, he seemed to know something. Pete swallowed. Pete opened his mouth cautiously to Karstein that he'll tell him everything... ...noble dragon.
Pete said ...and so, according to Charlene... ...Aria's physical body was modified into the Vessel of the Soul, a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons... Someone asked what. Karstein asked Pete should stop right there, what was that about the Vessel of the Soul. Pete said ah, yes, the Vessel of the Soul is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons... Karstein smirked. Karstein suddenly burst into laughter that hahaha, the Vessel of the Soul is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons. Pete asked huh... Rosarahim shouted wahaha, humans have such silly misunderstandings. Archiad said the story has been told by those with short lifespans, it could easily be relayed inaccurately. Pete asked excuse him... ...pardon him for asking, but this does mean the Vessel of the Soul is not the forbidden sorcery that created dragons. Karstein asked human child, the one called Aria does... ...have any features related to dragons. Pete was surprised. Pete thought Karstein have a point, he had no doubt since it was Charlene who told him... ...this is... ...an opportunity. Pete said o venerable beings of eternal existence... ...they mortals have yet to recieve the full truth, Karstein would graciously impart his wisdom... to this young and humble soul. Pete knelt down. Karstein asked where a kid did like him learn to speak like an old fart. Karstein looked back and spoke with a soft smile on his lips that well, this is a good opportunity, he two should also come and listen, it's something every hatchling has to learn eventually, they should come Arin, Eorin. Eorin is in a polymorphed state in human form. Karstein said well, then, he shall start the story from the very beginning.
At the dawn of creation... ...the very first thing to emerge from the void... was law. According to the law of causality. Every effect has a cause. In the beginning, it gave rise to order in accordance with the law. Amidst the disorder that was yet to be organized, chaos came into being. As it became tied to causality, chaos found order, giving rise to the creation of a new law known as mana. Mana was created to shape space... and began circulating to set time in motion. The second law was fixity. Space, once entangled by mana, became fixed. Time began to flow, anchoring the world in place. The matter adrift in space was swept up by different mana currents. They then stabilized and grouped together into existence. The third law was fixed cycle. The fourth law was stability. Life birthed from the cycle... gradually grew systematic. In this way, the first rational being, the gods, came into being. To sustain their existence, they had to keep the world's cycle in motion. No longer did the laws have to intervene directly in the world. The fifth law was non-interference. The world was now guided by the direct will of the gods. The energy of life dispersed throughout the entire world. For a long time, the world continued in stability...
Arin dozed off with clear saliva flowing from his soft lips, slightly open beneath his cute face. Karstein looked embarrassed and said it's too boring for him, Arin, goodness, he's already nodding off... Eorin also drolling and raised her hand and said Elder Karstein, she was listening. Karstein said she was also falling asleep, Eorin.
In the ceaseless passage of time, the world remained unaltered, merely preserved. An eternity passed, and at last, there emerged those who chose the freedom of oblivion over cruel immortality. They were the Elemental Titans in charge of the spirits that govern the four elements. Instead of existing perpetually as mere parts that sustained the world, they wished to live according to their own will even for a bried moment. And so the titans abandoned the duties entrusted to them. At last, they managed to create their own vessels... and relinquished their divinity without hesitation. The most destructive flame, the Elemental Titan Karlax of fire. The storm that cuts through the air, the Elemental Titan Velgaric of wind. The manifestation of brilliant light, the Elemental Titan Ameneon of light. The freezing ice crystal, the Elemental Titan Lucin of ice. The darkness that envelops all, the Elemental Titan Ahmed of darkness. The land that accepts everything, the Elemental Titan Ustrax of earth. The ever-flowing cycle, the lower elemental god Taminon of ice. And so, the first titans abandoned their godly duties... and enjoyed their freedom until their obliteration. Even with the titans gone, their descendants, the dragons, remained, free to soar the boundless sky. Despite relinquishing their divinity, they had not given up their divine power. Even the elemental gods created by the gods to replace the titans... could not escape their control. Naturally, the gods grew worried about the disruption of the world's balance. In order to maintain their immortality, the gods had to remove the traitors who had forsaken their roles. However, the moment the gods neglected their duties, they would lose their reason for being and vanish... ...Hence, they need an agent. This led to the creation of... an entity with forbidden reason, an existence that counters the law, yet whose deviation is so insignificant that it has no influence on the world. The renegades.
Karstein said that was how humankind came to be. Pete thought it aligned with Charlene's story to an extent, however... Pete asked Karstein is saying that the gods they worshipped and placed their faith in... were nothing more than cogs in the wheel that is the world, furthermore... ...this does meant that they humans... ...were genegades that go against the nature of this world. Karstein answered well, that's how the so-called gods defined him... ...and they're not entirely wrong, whether it's dragons, humans... ...or any other intelligent beings, they all have the potential to disrupt the world, but rather than existing perpetually as cogs in a wheel following established rules... ...it's not better to enjoy freedom while waiting for obliteration, that's not the meaning of life. Rosarahim shouted wow, well said. Karsenian said she doesn't fall for it, Goldie, that old fart is just repeating what he heard when he was little. Karstein said in an angry tone that shut up. The dragon command burst into Karsenian's mouth. Someone raised a hand and said so... Arin said ...just when... ...Karstein was going to talk about Aria.
