Amidst the boundless expanse of the Universe, a shimmering distortion began to unfold; slowly and steadily, an ethereal figure materialized, its grandeur unparalleled and awe-inspiring. Towering in stature, the deity's form was a captivating interplay between two realms; its upper torso - chest, broad shoulders, and a dignified head - was firmly anchored in the Material Realm, emanating an otherworldly radiance, while its lower half seamlessly merged with the backdrop, tethering it to the enigmatic Astral Realm. His gaze settled upon the Khodex of Creation, floating majestically in the void, as memories of bygone eras flooded his mind; a sigh escaped his lips. Reflecting, he thought, [b][i]"Once again, I find myself at the cusp of creation, helping shape the destiny of a new Universe."[/i][/b] His thoughts wandered back to his original realm, the place of his true origin, and the siblings he once knew; suddenly, a melancholic yearning took hold, with the weight of eons pressing upon his ethereal shoulders. He then surveyed the vastness around him, acknowledging the grand arrivals of the other deities; each one unique in their splendor, they brought with them a distinct essence and energy. One of them shined brilliantly in an inferno of passion, giving her all to the Universe from the get-go. Others were veiled in mystery as they cycled around the Khodex; an aura of stabization emanated from the trio as they seemingly enchanted the scroll with their essence - he could feel the changes taking root in the nascent Universe, particularly within the stars. When a particularly... unique creature broke through the fabric of space, barreling into the Universe with a surprising determination, he questioned what exactly it would contribute to the Khodex. Even back in his original home, he had never managed to unveil the mysteries of the powers that be, the ones that had the ability to call forth beings such as themselves. Yet, the moment he felt the concequences of the creature's additions into the Khodex - it was as if his mind had been caged within a fog cloud, unable to pierce through and swim along the currents of knowledge that was previously available to him - a slight frown marred his otherwise emotionless face. Maybe the powers that be were not as considerate after all. He made a mental note of this deity as he watched its retreat from the vicinity of the scroll, for he would have to be wary of its actions further down the road. As he was thinking that, another deity had made her appearance; he watched as the newcomer was overcome by a frenzied, almost zealous expression as she ravaged one of the strange, sprawling veins that covered the expanse of creation, emanating a faint, otherwordly glow - undoubtedly an addition into the Khodex that happened before his emergence into this Universe. The duality of her form, after she completed her addition, intrigued him; coupled with the faint humming from the Khodex, it made him eager to see how her gift would blend with the future inhabitants of this world. Just like that, he floated in space, surveying the coming and going of deities as they continued making their own little contributions towards creation. Yet something inside of him hesitated... calling these ones kin and putting them in the same pedestal as the ones from his original universe did not sit well with him. He could already foresee his interactions with them, and though he would hope for them to be cordial, it seemed more fitting to think of them as colleagues sharing a common purpose, but not a shared history. Not yet, atleast. Shaking off the weight of the past and the uncertainties of the present, determination flashed in his eyes. [b][i]"I shall aid this Universe to the best of my abilities,"[/i][/b] he resolved, [b][i]"and then, I must seek a way back to where I truly belong."[/i][/b] With a final glance at the vast expanse and the deities present, he turned gracefully. The ethereal form that had graced the Material Realm began to fade, fully merging into the Astral Realm, leaving behind an echoing silence and a trace of his magnificent presence. There was work to be done; his fellows would undoubtedly become busy with populating reality with their creations, and exerting their influence upon the fabric of the Universe. He ought to do the same, for no one would achieve his goals in his stead. [hider=Summary]Ull'yang emerges, observing the Khodex of Creation and the other deities' actions. Reflecting on his origins and previous universe, he feels disconnected from these new deities. Despite feeling deep uncertainty, he resolves to aid this universe before seeking his true home.[/hider]
