Mellivora, goddess of love and oceans, rose from her slumber of eternal absence as Ravien tugged her into existence. She stood tall, black hair and dress whipping around as if a strong, mighty gale had overcome her. Millions of galaxies were born and died within her silk gown and ebony hair. Her brother Akhen graced the world with stars, and white dots shining brighter than pearls formed throughout her dress. She smiled pleasantly, smoothing a wrinkle along her dress and in the process giving life to several new worlds. The proud goddess strode towards her brother, lightly tapping her graceful fingers across his hide. "I am flattered, my brother, these small wonders do our family much justice. However, I believe you are forgetting something very important." With that, she touched her hands to her heart, producing a faint white glow emanating from her chest. The white light slowly spread throughout her entire body, every expanse of space in the universe. The light subsided, her cheeks glowing cherry red. "Now, my brother, all of our creations can truly enjoy your wonderful gift. I have given them something they cannot hope to achieve by themselves: Love and compassion for eachother. Surely, the nature of mankind prevents love from overpowering greed and hatred, but I hope that it will further their survival. The beauty you have captured in the stars will go unappreciated by mortals, who will fail to recognize the gods' appearance. As such, I have created a beautiful species of mortals who will be sought after by all; the Mermaids."
