Once upon a time,
there were two goddesses,
EOS
ASRA
At the beginning,
The three goddesses of time as we know it — Past, Future, and Now, were filled with boredom. The astral plane was far too quiet, and the sisters had spent an eternity amongst themselves. They decided, to create a being, a goddess like them.
The first they created, was Asra. A being of darkness, of weakness and dirt. The sisters, noticed how withdrawn Asra was — quiet, to herself, and weeping of loneliness. It was Past, who grew tired of the weeping and sobbing first. Then Now. And finally, Future.
And so, Eos was born. A goddess of light, courage and strength. To their surprise, Eos, was not annoyed by the weeps and sobs that filled the astral plane. Eos, instead of wishing for Asra to be gone, comforted the being of dark.
The three sisters witnessed a relationship bloom. It was Future, who gave Eos and Asra, a quest. Go far, and see what it makes of you, Future spoke — while Now and Past watched impassively. And so, the astral plane opened.
The two beings — of light and dark, spent an eternity, in the space outside the astral plane. They ventured to the depths of space — and came out with a world. At first, nothing grazed the green planes. Then, Asra, made the first animal, with fluffy ears that would feel like the dust of the space. Soft.
Eos, on the other hand, created a human — someone who seemed like them, but not quite. And when Eos saw Asra’s creation, she felt the need to take those fluffy ears, and give them to the human. She did so, before she made another one. They laughed at the idea — and ventured into the depths of space again.
When the two goddesses came back and looked at this planet — there were more little beings with fluffy ears, more humans than they had made first. Protect each other, Eos said. Go to the depths of this world.. and see what you find. Asra said softly. And then, before the humans and their fluffy-counter parts could speak — they disappeared. Not into the space, nor to the astral plane.. but somewhere else.
