Upon Pluto’s cold, icy, twilight shore,
Nolah and Nemla stood with heavy hearts,
Deciding daughters’ futures to explore,
They left their kin as each new journey starts.
With tholins dark upon the frozen land,
They bid farewell beneath the starlit sky,
And ventured forth, with purpose firm and grand,
To spread their lineage where new hopes might lie.
From Pluto’s chill, they sailed to Neptune’s reign,
Where Triton orbits in a retrograde,
A moon once close, where ancestors remained,
Now serves as waypoint in their grand parade.
Their daughters spread across the cosmic sea,
To moons and planets, planting seeds of life,
Each child a beacon of diversity,
Ensuring future thrives beyond all strife.
Next they came to Uranus, tilted high,
With moons Miranda, Ariel, and more,
Umbriel, Titania, Oberon nigh,
Each sister moon with legends to explore.
In mirrored tilt, the planet spins unique,
Its moons a dance of grace and mystic lore,
Their daughters flourished where the shadows speak,
Creating tales that echo evermore.
On Titan, life's spark found a place to dwell,
The daughters of Bios, their journey wide,
In ocean depths, they thrived where shadows quell,
A secret world beneath the ice did hide.
As eons passed, the system cooled and waned,
The oceans, once so vast, now faced a plight,
With icebergs cloaking seas, their growth constrained,
A battle waged 'twixt darkness and the light.
At times, the storms would rise, and ice would break,
Freeing waters trapped beneath their frigid might,
Yet in the end, the ice its toll would take,
Encasing Titan's seas in endless night.
Yet deep below, where fire's breath still burned,
The life sustained through warmth from heart's desire,
And far above, where ice and sky sojourned,
The icebergs cracked, revealing fate's entire.
A dance of shifting plates, of ice and stone,
Continental bergs, their tectonics played,
And from the depths, where pressure's force had grown,
A cryovolcano, water's arc displayed.
But fleeting was this glimpse, as ice returned,
To cloak the waters in its chilling veil,
And from the skies, where methane rivers churned,
A rain of fire, their torrent swift and pale.
In this new world, where life and ice entwined,
The daughters of Bios, their journey steep,
On Titan's shores, their destiny defined,
A tale of ice and fire, their secrets keep.
In Titan's realm, where ice and fire dance,
Five sisters grand, their tales of legend weave,
Daughters of Titan, born of fates' advance,
These mighty seas, their majesty achieve.
First Kraken, deepest of the sisters five,
Her mystery and allure she did impart,
With labyrinthine depths where life would thrive,
Her shadowed secrets held within her heart.
Then Ligeia, beauty calm and fair,
Her tranquil waves, a soothing lullaby,
A gentle soul, her grace beyond compare,
Embracing all who sought her solace nigh.
Next Punga, wild and fierce, her spirit free,
Unyielding to the ice that sought her reign,
Her tempests raged, her storms a symphony,
Her indomitable spirit would remain.
Jingpo, the fourth, a scholar wise and old,
Her ancient lore, a treasure trove concealed,
Her depths, a library of stories told,
The wisdom of the ages she revealed.
And last, Ontario, the nurturing one,
Her icy shores, a haven for the lost,
Her love and care, a mother's warmth like sun,
Embracing all who braved her wintry frost.
These sisters five, the daughters of Titan,
Their lives entwined, their stories yet unfold,
In frozen seas, where myth and truth align,
The tales of Kraken sea and more are told.
In Titan's seas, where ancient legends dwell,
Five sisters host the isles of myth and lore,
Each island, archipelago, a shell,
Where Titanians worship evermore.
Kraken, the first, her islands proud and vast,
Mayda, her shrine, where pilgrims come to pray,
Bermoothes, Bimini, their tales amassed,
Hufaidh and Krocylea, Penglai and Royllo hold sway.
Ligeia's realm, her isles of whispers sweet,
Bralgu's shrine stands tall, her spirit graced,
Buyan, Planctae, where mysteries entreat,
And Lemuria, a name from legends traced.
In Punga's seas, fierce islands rise and fall,
Hawaiki's shrine, her spirit's honored throne,
Meropis, Onogoro, stand tall,
And Thule, distant, unknown land, alone.
Jingpo's domain, where wisdom's islands lie,
Hy-Brasil, her shrine, a beacon bright,
Lyonesse, Ys, and Vineta testify,
To sunken lands, their fables taking flight.
Ontario's embrace, her islands true,
Antillia's shrine, where faithful hearts convene,
Aztlan, St. Brendan's Isle, their legends brew,
And Sannikov, phantom island, Arctic dream.
These sacred isles on Titan's seas they stand,
Their shrines alive with ancient rites and praise,
In adoration of their parent land,
The daughters of Sol, their voices raise.
Each island hosts its shrine, where worship flows,
From ancient days to present, faith endures,
And every river, with its spirit, glows,
Their shrines, alive with blessings they procure.
The rivers, too, their tales and secrets share,
As Titan's daughters hold them in embrace,
In epic verse, their names we now declare,
Their waters flowing through celestial space.
Kraken Mare, her rivers proud and grand,
Hapi Flumen, Nile's reflection cast,
Sobek, Khnum, and Anuket's strands,
Their shrines, where ancient rites hold steadfast.
Ligeia's realm, her currents swift and strong,
Gihon, Kokytos, Vid, and Xanthus flow,
Their shrines, where Titanians throng,
In reverence for the secrets waters know.
Punga's waters, rivers fierce and free,
Apanohuaya, Sambation sing,
Tiberinus, Danuvius, history,
Their shrines, to faithful hearts, solace bring.
Jingpo's domain, her rivers' wisdom deep,
Cephissus, Alpheus, Yamuna tell,
Purus Flumen, whispers they keep,
Their shrines, where ancient spirits dwell.
Ontario's embrace, her rivers pure,
Hubur, Karesos, Saraswati grace,
Inachus, where faith and hope endure,
Their shrines, alive with Titanians' trace.
These rivers, flowing through the daughters' seas,
Their shrines, with ancient wisdom, ever stand,
In adoration of their mysteries,
The daughters of Sol, their blessings grand.
In Enceladus' heart, they stayed awhile,
The southern warmth grew bright, the north turned cold,
A cycle spun, renewing life and toil,
The Great Fire Shrine still stands, its flame retold.
In southern heat they found a solace sweet,
A testament to life's enduring flame;
As seasons turned, they cherished newfound peace,
Yet fate once more would come to call their name.
From depths below, cryovolcano stirred,
And with a burst it spewed them out once more;
Into the void their fates became a blur,
As Saturn's rings embraced them to the core.
Amidst the rings a hundred cities rose,
Each one a beacon shining in the dark;
In cosmic dance these settlements compose
A testament to dreams that leave their mark.
These wanderers, now dwellers of the rings,
Created homes upon celestial arcs;
In Saturn's grasp they built a world of things,
And life goes on amidst the stars and sparks.
As dwellers of the rings, they lived and thrived,
Unknowing that their fate would change again,
For cosmic powers sought to rearrange,
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
As comet's course disrupted fragile life.
Upon its path, this cosmic wanderer,
From distant realms, it charged through space and time,
A force unseen, it struck the rings, and then,
The people of the rings were cast adrift.
To Io's realm, their journey carried on,
This Jovian moon, with oceans deep and vast,
A fiery heart, with energy abound,
Its warmth and life a haven from the past.
Within these waters, life was lush and rife,
As settlers found their footing, built anew,
In fertile depths, a civilization rose,
An empire born beneath the skies of blue.
On Io's shores, and in its ocean's heart,
A people thrived, their memories of old,
A story etched in whispers of the past,
Of Titan's fall, and wanderings untold.
In time, the heat of Io's heart did rise,
As molten fires beneath the crust prevailed,
The waters, once a life-supporting veil,
Began to wane, a shrinking paradise.
Yet, as the oceans dwindled and did shrink,
A cosmic savior, from the sky it fell,
A meteor's approach, a chance anew,
To flee their home, escape the fiery brink.
As Io's warmth, too fierce, consumed its grace,
The people found their way upon the stone,
A vessel, swift and sure, to cross the void,
And journey forth, to find a safer place.
To Europa, icy sister-moon,
Where oceans deep lay hidden 'neath the ice,
The weary travelers, a refuge sought,
In hope, their tale of loss would end, and soon.
With gratitude, they set foot on this sphere,
A haven cold, yet promising and bright,
In frozen realm, their future they would forge,
A world reborn, from pain and loss they steer.
Beneath Europa's icy shield they delved,
To find an undersea world, vast and grand,
Where deep below, the ocean's wonders thrived,
A refuge, where the people of Io dwelled.
In darkness, yet with hope, they built anew,
A thriving realm amid the swirling tides,
With skill and art, their cities rose and spread,
A testament to all that they'd been through.
Amidst the depths, they forged a life so bold,
In harmony with Europa's vast domain,
Together, they would thrive in waters cold,
Their spirit, ne'er defeated, nor in vain.
The people of Io, now reborn,
In Europa's embrace, they found their home,
A testament to strength and will, they stood,
Resilient, strong, and nevermore alone.
From Europa's depths, their gaze turned high-wide,
To other moons, where distant futures lay.
On Ganymede, where icy seas abide,
A world of promise called them on their way.
Beneath its crust, the secret oceans swirled,
A treasure vast that waited to be found.
The daughters journeyed, dreams and plans unfurled,
To plant their seeds and life’s great hymn resound.
The plains of stone became their canvas wide,
Their towers rose where shadows once had crept.
A haven forged, with oceans as their guide,
Where life took root and ancient vows were kept.
Then Callisto, serene, its visage scarred,
Drew them to icy lands both vast and still.
Its frozen beauty, timeless and unmarred,
Whispered of futures shaped by steady will.
With tender care, they worked the silent sphere,
Its glaciers groaned as life began to grow.
In tranquil realms, their hopes became sincere,
A world of calm beneath the starlit glow.
Yet Mars, now brimming, caught their distant sight,
Its verdant plains and waters called them near.
The Red Planet shone beneath the sun’s soft light,
A fertile home, where futures could appear.
Across its rivers, forests stretched their green,
The daughters labored, shaping all they saw.
From crimson soil arose a living sheen,
A vibrant world, sustained by nature’s law.
But skies of blue began to draw their gaze,
A beacon bright, Earth shimmered in the night.
Its clouds and seas evoked a sense of praise,
A final step beneath the solar light.
They left Mars thriving, life its steady beat,
And sailed the void, where endless stars would glow.
Upon the Earth, a destiny to meet,
A jewel of hope, a world they longed to know.
Through blackened depths, they reached their destined shore,
Its green and azure beauty vast, profound.
The daughters paused, their journey’s trials no more,
And gazed in awe, where paradise was found.
The daughters of Bios set their sights on Earth,
To sail the seas, and seek a home anew,
In hope that fertile lands would welcome them,
Their journey, driven by celestial birth.
As they approached, a harbinger of doom,
A massive rock, like thunder, pierced the sky,
And shattered Earth into a million shards,
A cruel twist of fate, the planet's tomb.
In sorrow, they beheld the tragic sight,
Yet knew they could not dwell on what was lost,
With heavy hearts, they charted course once more,
And ventured on, propelled by stellar light.
To Venus then, the daughters sailed ahead,
With hope that there, a refuge could be found,
To build a life upon its clouded shores,
And persevere, despite the path they tread.
Upon fair Venus, daughters found their home,
In twilight lands, they thrived and multiplied,
For Venus, in her slow rotation, bloomed,
And nurtured life, though days and nights belied.
The sun would rise and set with languid grace,
In west and east, it danced upon the sky,
And in the day, her oceans disappeared,
As Muspelheim, the land of fire, took place.
At night, her oceans froze in cold embrace,
And Niflheim, the land of frost, emerged,
Between these realms, the twilight realm was born,
Where daughters of Venus lived with fervent pace.
Beneath the surface, vents their life sustained,
In twilight lands, both north and south they dwelled,
And tribes were formed, as daughters ventured forth,
To Wind, to Ice, to Fire, their kin remained.
The Tribe of Wind, they wandered in the air,
As skyplankton, they roamed the skies above,
The Tribe of Ice, on Niflheim's frozen crust,
And Twilight Tribe, eternal dusk their lair.
The Water Tribe, beneath the ice they thrived,
And Fire Tribe, in Venus' vents so deep,
These daughters brave, amidst the war they grew,
Muspel's fire and Niflheim's frost contrived.
But then, the oceans boiled, as Muspel's sons,
Charged forth, led by Surtur's fiery blade,
And in their wake, the ice and frost retreated,
The winds of sun, the battle's victor won.
The greenhouse reigns, as Venus' fate was sealed,
Her hydrogen wiped clean, Deuter remained,
The Tribe of Wind, now last survivors' tale,
May they endure, their future yet revealed.
The daughters of the wind, now restless grown,
Decided that they'd leave fair Venus' hold,
To Mercury, a realm yet unexplored,
With hopes of finding lands to call their own.
Upon arrival, what a sight they saw,
A hail of meteors, a storm unkind,
That struck with force the planet's crust and mantle,
The Iron Catastrophe, a fate unflawed.
The core of Mercury, now bare and stark,
A testament to cosmic rage untamed,
The daughters gazed upon the aftermath,
And chose to turn away, to lands more hushed.
The Iron Catastrophe, a tale of woe,
Of Mercury, once whole, now stripped and scarred,
Yet in its wake, the daughters carried on,
To find a home where life would bloom and grow.
Back to the Earth, now clumping from the void,
They ventured forth, and found the Moon's embrace,
Where lunar plains and cratered landscapes called,
A sanctuary found, their fears allayed.
