Origins of the world

It all started, with a seed.

A seed that would be later grow to be life.

The Gods at that time were simple, they wanted nothing else than to work alone, each fashioning his own planet the way he likes, building monuments as a source of pride, and mountains as a sign of royalty. So they lived on their lands, enjoying an eternity of satisfaction.

But the seed disturbed their lifestyle. It was exotic, something none of them had created. That alone caused anxiety to many Gods, fearing an existence even more powerful than them.

It had first appeared on Rhoton, a planet of the god Kami.

Kami had enjoyed making oceans, and indeed, his planet mainly consisted of that. He had the deepest waters in the galaxy, as he mentioned to every God that would listen. He had been near one of his many oceans, when he sighted a green object falling down at ferocious speed. Asteroids were definitely common, but never, in his many years, has a seen one so strange. It wasn't really big, but It was perfectly round, like no other asteroid he ever saw.

He didn't suspect another God, as none of them would meddle in another's land. They wouldn't even enter any if it weren't for their need to brag about their own planet.

It crashed into the water, falling deeper and deeper still, The water barely even slowing it down, much less stopping it.

Until finally, it landed.

That was the birth of the very first lifeform,

The Lerthis.

They were tiny green animals that swim using their many feathers. Truly a majestic creature, with beautiful soft fur and cute red eyes.

Pity they didn't last long

At first, kami was oddly interested, thinking of the reactions he would get from the Gods when they see them, But then he decided, they were far from a blessing, as the magnificent deep oceans he prided himself with were being ruined. These animals were feeding on the rocks and sand he worked so hard to create.

Drunk on pride, he unleashed his fury on the creatures, utterly destroying the first living organism, and ridding himself of the pain they brought, or so he thought. He was shocked to see yet another green round seed fall onto his lands. This time though, it was on dirt.

And so a single tree was born. A small fragile thing it seemed, with white branches that looked so close to falling apart. Kami thought this thing was much less threatening than the Lerthis, and decided he would keep it, but he wouldn't show it to any other God, as he would surely be made a laughingstock of the universe for making such weak forms.

He hid the tree, inside a cave in a small mountain surrounded by waters.

The tree reproduced by itself, creating hundreds of other plants, seemingly from different species. But that wasn't all, as the first tree had grown so powerful and so tall it broke through the mountain, its leaves seeing sunlight for the first time since it had been hidden. The mother tree, having finally acquired a source of light, absorbed that aspect and its branches now glowed strongly, illuminating the cave and assuring the life of all its descendants. That was the birth of the great Garden of Eden.

Kami would find out later, that he wasn't the only God who had life appear on his planet. Apparently, Relena who is a neighboring God had creatures with four legs that can run as fast as the win, and Bhoron had animals who could tear down mountains with a punch. all of these beings were made by the same occurrence: a green object falling down from the sky.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

But not all Gods were blessed by them, and those the weren't sought to create life on their own. Kami, who had destroyed a species because of petty reasons had only few forests on his few lands, which were now very common joined up with another God (an act that has never happened before) to create life.

His partner, Ghalz was one so famous before the start of the new era for his amazing landscapes. Unfortunately, during these times no one cared about them anymore. His need to prove himself left him no other choice than to join up with Kami.

So they worked, for what seemed to be an eternity. They mashed elements together, trying millions of recipes until finally, one worked out. They had created insects. Although their existence was pitiful, they were proud of it, as they had managed to learn the basics of life-making, they dropped the insects in the forests and continued their procedure.

they were addicted to the sense of creating, the sense of accomplishment they get when they watch their result of hard work. They had made hundreds of creatures, and this drew the attention of all the other Gods, who were quite jealous of them, and were waiting for a chance to crush their beings.

They got their chance when Kami and Ghalz created Humans.

Humans were their greatest pride, they had used all their knowledge and experience to create a being with pride, intelligence, creativity, love and magic. Truly the closest beings to Gods.

Kami sought to create something very similar to humans, but that can survive his fiery oceans. He used characteristics close to the Lerthis, as a reminder of the first species, and made the Sirens. They were the majestic population of Rhoton, they could use the mana in the world and lived in harmony with the other beings, just like the humans did in Ghalz's planet.

The Gods, affronted by such creatures, threatened Kami and Ghalz to undo all these abominations, claiming that they undermined Gods by creating them. Of course, they didn't respond obediently. As such, the Gods, created something immensely powerful with their hatred and jealousy: Demons. They sent them out to plague the humans and sirens, corrupting the animals and plants, striking fear into the hearts of many.

Their generations where close to extinction, but they didn't die out. Something unexpected happened in Rhoton, as the Mother tree and the Garden of Eden radiated a light lethal to the demons. They used it to make weapons, shields, even to fortify their walls, as such, they managed to survive. The humans weren't so lucky, not having a Mother tree, they relied on their own creations and strength. They managed to live, but through the sacrifice of many.

And that was the story of how we, the mighty Sirens came to existence, and how we it is our duty to  fight against the jealous Gods and their Demons to reclaim our lands! For the Glory of Kami the almighty!
