In that meadow that stretched beyond where the eye could see, two children named Fimi and Fili played and had fun. Until one day, strange shadowy silhouettes began to emerge from the onyx mountains that extended to the east of the valley. Fili used her special powers, releasing an amber aura around her that spread in a limited space. From that light emerged beings with tentacles that branched out and extended toward the sky, like the branches of a tree. She called them Kládos, because of their shape.

The Kládos were created to fight against the shadowy entities, but they were defeated and captured. The shadows took them to the mountains, where their fate is unknown. However, this did not discourage the girl, who continued to improve the design of the Kládos, making them more combat-oriented with longer and thicker tentacles. She also created another group for information gathering, with longer bodies and shorter, smaller tentacles that served as their legs. Additionally, she designed a third group with fleshy spheres for bodies and tentacles that served as antennas to send telepathic messages to other Kládos, allowing for the organization and command of the troops. Thus, the war against the shadows continued without a clear winner.

Fimi, seeing the devastation that the war caused to the Kládos and to themselves, decided to use his power to create a tree of crystallized energy. Both the children and the troops used it to rest and recover from their wounds. But most importantly, they seemed to recover from the shadowy influence imparted by the darkness. The tree absorbed all that darkness into its trunk, into each of its leaves, branches, and roots, gradually dimming its amber glow. This worried Fimi, as he could see within each part of the tree how the amber energy created life, but it was unable to withstand the power and intensity of the light, disintegrating and returning to where it was born.

However, with the arrival of the shadows, the entities could survive longer, only to be absorbed again by the darkness. Thus, the cycle of creation and destruction continued uninterrupted, until an anomaly was born from that limited amount of light that penetrated the growing shadows. The last creation and the first inhabitant emerged, a mass of pulsating flesh with a single eye and a tail made of bones, from which strange crimson threads protruded.

The first inhabitant knew the fate that had befallen his predecessors, so with great cunning, he placed himself at the spatial intersection where the light did not shine with mortal intensity, and the shadows were not deep enough. In that limbo of equilibrium, he remained to save himself from death, but his body continued to suffer damage from both the burning heat of the light and the maddening influence of the abyss.

To avoid that damage, the cunning creature came up with an idea: using his crimson tentacles, he created a sphere of amber energy that floated behind him, held by the ethereal tentacles. The warm and soft light of the sphere healed his burns, and his tentacles carried the darkness of his essence to it, purifying his soul. However, that energy came from him and was very limited; it would soon run out, leaving him adrift. Therefore, he devised a second plan: a source of infinite energy.

With that plan in mind, he created the first forms of life that would fight for their place in existence. These primitive beings could only survive by devouring others, as their souls easily extinguished without new energy. They were a great failure. Until, thanks to the muse, the perfect model emerged, a self-sustaining entity, though finite, but that could be easily fixed. With his design eternalized, the perfect entity spread his essence to all his new creations, marking the beginning of the mythical era, where creatures with a higher degree of consciousness had to make sense of coexistence with the darkness, leading to a time of great loss and suffering.

Seeing how his indirect creations suffered from something he had started, Fimi felt immense and suffocating guilt, which drove him to leave his home and Fili to try to study the phenomenon of the shadows and save the inhabitants of the crystallized energy tree. Fili tried to stop him, saying that she needed him by her side to face the shadows together. But Fimi ignored the words of his beloved friend and ventured into the chaotic interior of his own creation, where he still persists to this day. Did he succeed in his mission or fail miserably? I am still unsure.
