Before creation itself, there were six singularities. Then, the universe exploded into existence and the remnants of those systems were forged into concentrated ingots: reality, time, space, power, soul, and mind.
Infinity Stones.
The Elders of the Universe arose at the same time, the most powerful among them a remnant of the Stones themselves: the Stonekeeper, Lady Infinity, Adonia.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed! :))
