Countless millennia have transpired since the inception of these extraordinary entities, yet they remained immobile within the confines of their ethereal abode, immune from any threats or disturbances that could potentially disrupt their tranquility. Such is their sanctity and magnitude. Nevertheless, their destiny inexorably bound them to rouse from their slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emanating from their crystalline cocoons, the nascent beings bathe in a gentle, celestial luminescence. Each entity possesses a visage both exceptional and beguiling, resplendent with the very essence of its elemental representation. Some are resplendently adorned with iridescent scales akin to the enigmatic depths of the unfathomable ocean. Others bear feathers that shimmer with the ethereal luminescence of a celestial tapestry adorning the night sky. Lastly, a few are enveloped in gossamer vortices of delicate, swirling flames, emanating an aura brimming with both potency and fervor.

The Fire, being the firstborn among them, possessed a truly awe-inspiring form. Its magnificent body was akin to that of a dragon, adorned with scales crafted from prismatic white flames that danced with a captivating brilliance. Upon its regal head rested a crown fashioned from the very essence of starlight, befitting its status as the pioneer of their kind. Its colossal size, a testament to the eons spent in slumber, lent an air of unparalleled grandeur.

As the Fire witnessed the awakening of its brethren, a surge of anticipation coursed through its being. Eager to explore the extent of its newfound power, it yearned for an opportunity to wield its dominion over flames—the sole source of fire within their ethereal realm. These flames possessed a duality of essence, capable of both consuming and birthing, embodying the forces of destruction and creation in equal measure.

Yet, the Fire intuited that its crown symbolized a deeper reservoir of yet-untapped abilities within its essence. And so, with a focus and concentration hitherto untested since its birth, it summoned the wellspring of power that resided deep within its soul. As the energy surged and surged, there was a sudden hush that fell upon the world, shrouding everything in an eerie stillness. For a fleeting moment, the Fire stood startled by the silence, until it realized that it had not merely quelled the noises of the world, but instead, halted the very passage of time itself.

When the Fire willed it, the world resumed its normal flow, and when it desired, time accelerated or even reversed at its command. Satisfied with its display of power, the Fire patiently awaited the hatching of its siblings.

Next came the Sun, born second in the lineage of these ethereal beings. Its tremendous form took the shape of a colossal serpent, adorned in scales that shimmered like liquid gold, resembling the flowing sands of a desert dune. A radiant golden tattoo adorned its forehead, depicting a wheel with flames dancing around it, emanating a celestial glow upon its scaly surface. As the Sun awoke from its slumber, the world was instantly bathed in a radiant light, illuminating every corner with a warm embrace.

It was at this moment that the Sun sensed a presence, a consciousness observing them from a nearby place. Turning its gaze in the direction of the watchful eyes, the serpent discovered a being crafted from ever-shifting flames, adorned with a crown fashioned from the very essence of starlight.

As the Sun and the Fire locked eyes for a moment, the space before them began to shift and transform,

As the space in front of them transformed, the being that had been observing them materialized before the Sun, projecting its thoughts into the serpent's mind. In a voice that echoed with the weight of cosmic knowledge, the stranger welcomed the Sun as their sibling, stating with certainty that they were born from the same source.

Confused by this revelation, the Sun asked for clarification. The stranger explained that they were the source of the First Flame, the one closest to their creator, and that the world and all of their siblings were formed from this divine entity.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Initially skeptical, the Sun requested proof. The dragon replied with a gentle suggestion, telling the Sun to delve deep into its soul and feel the connection between them and their other siblings. As the Sun followed this instruction, it felt an unbreakable bond form within, confirming the stranger's claim.

However, something caught their attention, so they asked,"Other siblings?" their Sibling replied with a smile ,"Yes, our other siblings, look there" they pointed their flame writhed claw. The Sun serpent turned their attention to where the dragon had pointed and saw seven other beings that had been hidden from their view. These beings were shrouded in energy, and they appeared to have been in their current positions for countless ages.

The serpent was intrigued and asked the dragon how it had managed to move from its original position to their current location instantaneously, showing more interest in this question than in the identity of their other siblings. The dragon smiled at the serpent's inquisitiveness and replied cryptically, "It is the same for you. Feel it within yourself, and you will wield your own power."

The Sun serpent were perplexed by the dragon's words, but they knew that they had to unlock the full extent of their power if they were to unravel the mystery of their existence.

when the Sun delved deep within their self, they sensed the presence of a vast untapped energy, so the sun did what most would do in such a situation, they concentrated on the power, to move it, to control it and it did move and it did come under their control.The serpent basked in the newfound power that emanated from within. As the light and heat engulfed their serpentine body, they truly became the sun of their world. The tattoo on their forehead was merely the beginning, as their entire being shone with the brilliance of a real sun shining in the sky. It was a sight to behold, awe-inspiring and magnificent.

But even as the serpent marveled at their newfound power, they sensed that there was more to discover. There was a deeper, more reclusive power hidden within them, waiting to be awakened and harnessed.

In a moment of revelation, the Sun replicated their previous actions, and a wondrous spectacle unfolded before their eyes. Delicate, ethereal threads of energy, extending infinitely, began to radiate from the Sun's radiant form. Within this extraordinary display, the Sun's attention was drawn to a dragon, subtly nestled in the midst, adorned with scales that flickered with prismatic hues of white fire. Intrigued, the Sun endeavored to manipulate these threads, attempting to prod the dragon with an intention of interaction. Alas, their attempts proved fruitless, unable to stir the dragon from its serene repose.

Undeterred by initial setbacks, the Sun persisted, refining their approach. Utilizing the threads, they sought to tether these interdimensional ribbons to a nearby object. To their astonishment, the moment the connection was established, a profound insight befell them. The Sun discovered a remarkable ability to perceive potential destinies encompassing the chosen object. Seizing this newfound power, they manipulated the threads to shape the object's destiny, envisioning a scenario in which it would soar gracefully and alight upon the forehead of the slumbering dragon.

Driven by a profound determination, the Sun exerted their control over destiny, guiding the chosen object with the intricately woven threads. As if synchronized with the Sun's intentions, the object adhered to their guidance, soaring effortlessly through the air until it accomplished its destined purpose, delicately settling upon the forehead of the dragon.

Awakening, the Dragon swiftly assessed its surroundings, locking eyes with its sibling, the Sun serpent. Momentarily taken aback, the Dragon couldn't help but express its exasperation. With an eye roll, it questioned the Sun serpent's motives, playfully accusing them of using their newfound powers for such an unexpected encounter. Chuckling, the Sun serpent conceded, admitting that their prank had been a bit mischievous.

Once the prankster moment passed, the Sun serpent continued to explore their enhanced abilities, delving deeper into their unprecedented potential. Every test revealed new facets of their power, satisfying their curiosity and leaving them contented. Turning their attention to their dragon sibling, the Sun serpent asked, curious to hear their perspective on the situation. "So, what should we do now?" they inquired.

The Dragon, taking a moment to ponder, responded with a measured suggestion. "Let us wait," they said, their gaze fixed upon their remaining dormant siblings. The Dragon proposed patience, allowing their other kin to awaken and join them in this vibrant existence. Recognizing the wisdom in the Dragon's words, the Sun serpent nodded and acquiesced.

As time passed, they watched with anticipation as some of their siblings began to stir. The energy within them grew restless, their dormant forms showing signs of life. The Sun serpent, reclining upon the solid surface beneath them, observed their siblings with fascination. A sibling stretched awake, their movements accompanied by cascades of dazzling hues, while others remained in peaceful slumber, their awakening soon to come.
