“ It's a dream about how the world was made ... he looked into a mirror and the mirror cracked, and thus the world was made. We can wander about picking up the pieces if we like, but all we ever see is our own face squinting back. Through a crack. Darkly. It's a cold place, you see. A place of question and cold wind. And with such poor lighting that we can only see at all because the mirror's back is black. It was a botched job. ”
Neither side wanted the other to have rule. Both had their plans, and the universe did not agree with either.
But, war is war. And even with endless battles, there are victories. Large and small. And in those, history is written. The Aspirant do not know what triggered it. Some have come to reason it was the simple causation of existence: that eventually, every living thing makes a choice in its own destiny. Others still claim there was a shiver through the Zam'ak'kor (/tsaːm;'ɒk'cor/ The Admonition). Whatever truth there may have been once is too far gone now. All that can be told is the facts. There came a day when the Aspirants were told not to simply stand guard, but to act. And in that, a massive blow of victory was given to the SAMS'ATI whose battle leaders came together to create the first true council of the war. Ado'Brahm Sema'Dyvos (fountainhead; risen source; blue and gentle epoch). The Creator themselves.
“ All that is comes from one source, and one end. Time and distance. Stars, and candlelight. They rise together; they bend toward the same sky. All that is named, all that has been forgotten, is a sigh between the syllables of the great, true word. There is only that name, whispered slowly by the shine of every star. The first sigh, from the first sky, began the utterance; all else has simply been trying to finish the phrase. ”
For a while, their new duties were obliged. They stood at the precipices of life itself: the end, the twilight and the beginning; the old, the prime, the young. Each Isqa'las paired off against one another at these awkward stages of what life would look like. They held no sway over these forms, held no affection or affliction; they were simply bodies, flesh to contain the strength of their power, and that was all. Aspirants did not need to abide by the rules of the mortals that began to crop up. Instead, they simply were; ever and always, they existed, persisting, beyond illness and bleed, beyond rot and decay. It was as it should have stayed, if not for the curiosity of Su'en.
The Aspirants had been given need, and reason, but that was not enough to set life truly free. For life, for will, there need be more. There needs to be knowledge, and that is born from experience. Aspirants were not made for life and, yet, Su'en was the first of all things to break the trust born of ignorance. Su'en was the first to crave a learning. For that, life has been punished ever since.
Between Su'en and her shadow, she isn't sure what brought the urge. She hardly remembers what life was like without urges, so many cycles into this torment. But that first bloom of want, she does not recall. Between Su'en and her assailants, between Su'en and all those who have marked her sinner (broken, wicked, monster) there is another lie truth: that life required being lived, so live was what she was wont to do.
That was the first sin. The challenge against the nature of them. The breaking of their great Zam'ak'kor. Su'en, kissing some being other than they, to see what it felt like. To be touched, to be kissed, and be held, by more than what you were built into being part of. To find something, instead of simply belonging as you always had. A violation of all the laws of nature. A violation of all the laws of the Kurizark as the Aspirant understood it.
“ The forgotten man ran toward the horizon. Death followed. ”
“ when skies were not yet named / no gods were manifest / nor names pronounced, nor destinies decreed / then gods were born within them / of the Mother-Abyss, / who formed everything, / he has prepared irresistible weapons: / he brought giant dragons into the world / with sharp teeth, / from r u t h l e s s fangs. ”
