2.39 Waters of Creation


        Zara had fallen in love with the music and was very confused when she woke up the following morning. Why was it banned in Atlan? What new mind-altering things would she experience today? She didn't have to wait long to find out. After the morning tea and delicacies were cleared away, Mina brought the obsidian goblet to the table and offered it up to a volunteer.
         "The War of the Gods. Netu was the center of the Universe! Who would like to share the next chapter in the story?"
         Min raised her hand first and took the goblet with a big and beautiful smile. Zara found herself staring again. Her hair was so red, so silky and sparkly in the candlelight it was utterly gorgeous, she looked so much like Mina it was fascinating… 
         Min gazed into the dark bowl, recalling the ancient chapter from the past, but this time, instead of sunlight, it was the reflected candlelight dancing across her face.
         "The Great War started from relatively innocent, misdirected intentions" she began. "Every planet had its own task. Elon was the Darkness that gave way to Netu's Light. Tasked to balance the energies of the Universe, Elon wanted to shine bright. But because her attempts to generate her own light were futile, the only thing her Archonic Spirit could do was to harvest Netu's light. Gifted with magnetic energy, she used the energies of the other planets to leverage herself closer to Netu in order to harvest more light. Her theory proved true, the closer she got the more light she could harvest but the closer she got, the harder it became to harvest Netu's Spirits of the Eternal Flame. The Phoenix Flames were too intense, incinerating her Archonic Spirits the moment they reached her aura. Elon grew angry upon defeat, generating an electromagnetic pulse so powerful it scattered the planets out of their orbits."
         Zara reached for her tea as the story became too ridiculous once again. This was sounding even worse than the last chapter, did Min really believe this rubbish too? It was a bit of a letdown after she had made such an incredible impression.
         Min noticed Zara zoning out but continued on anyway. "For some, Elon was now the brightest light they had, the new center of their universe, they became captured in her magnetic wheel, revolving around her in loyal orbit while Netu dwindled away in the outer limits of the galaxy."
         Zara was having a hard time listening now. Images of Orien's teary face were returning out of nowhere, as if to deliberately torment her, they wouldn't go away.
         "Now that Elon had balanced the light with Netu's distance, she sought to balance creation, too so her next task was to harvest creation from Silva, the god of Eternal Creation. Silva sustained the most life, she was made of water, she created intelligent beings because her water stored the Knowledge from Netu’s Light. She was oozing with magic and beauty, Elon couldn’t resist her."
         It was easier to pay attention to Min's ridiculous story than it was to deal with the holocaust going on inside her own mind as she struggled with thoughts of Orien now. In and out of consciousness, Zara tried to listen, trying to view it as mythology instead of worrying about whether it was truth or not, wondering why they claimed this story could help her confusion.
         "Once she had drawn Silva close enough to capture her, Elon let out a powerful pulse of electromagnetic energy, designed to harvest her Waters of Creation. But the Archonic Spirits were unable to mobilize in the water. Without a rescue, they were helpless, at the same time the planet was turning to ice from lack of Netu's love and light, trapping them forever beneath Silva's icy shell.
         Defeated once again, Elon exploded in violent rage and blasted an electromagnetic current towards Silva’s heart. Frozen solid, Silva exploded into a thousand drops of ice, showering the galaxy with her watery seeds of Eternal Knowledge and Creation, the frozen Archonic Spirits trapped inside, splitting them apart."
