~ Velantra — The First and Last Rupture.
Long ago, there were eight gods: Velantra, Velonov, Cantelmo, Drastra, Berlanda, Krestio, Thyros, and Astryds. They were not merely divinities, but constant presences to one another, gathering to share creations, ideas, and experiences that shaped existence itself. Velantra, the oldest among them, upheld the order of the universe and ensured these gatherings endured, while the others filled that space in their own ways, like distinct parts of a single whole.
Drastra and Berlanda, sisters, brought motion and structure to galaxies and cosmic dust. Cantelmo observed in quiet contemplation, accompanying the meetings with simple melodies. Velonov delighted in experimentation, in shaping and transforming new forms, while Astryds illuminated all with her steady radiance. Thyros provided abundance, and Krestio recorded every detail with near-obsessive care, as if afraid that something essential might be lost.
For ages, this coexistence sustained creation. The universe expanded not only through power, but through trust, continuity, and affection. Nothing suggested that such a bond could fracture, and the gatherings remained the invisible axis that kept everything in balance.
In one of these meetings, something failed to hold. What had once been shared became contested, differences long ignored began to weigh heavily, and their creations started to mirror tensions that had quietly accumulated over time. For the first time, they no longer acted as friends, but as forces in discord, and the conflict threatened to spill far beyond them.
To prevent absolute destruction, Velantra abandoned his original form and condensed into a single world, sacrificing his own essence to contain the others. Thus, each god came to exist as part of that creation, shaping themselves into continents, seas, and regions, bound to the world of Velantra and deprived of their full freedom, retaining only fragments of their divine nature.
This event became known as The First and Last Rupture, not of the universe, but of the friendship that once united them.
