During childhood, Quainn stood beside the God-King in the great abyss of space; both of them much larger than any star or planet around them. Looking up at Him, she asked
Will you teach me about the power of creation?
In her hand, He dropped an orb: This is the planet Inkora XX. He walked her through the steps and in the center, circling it's soul core, sprinkled little creatures of aethyr: He called them Divu Dwarves and told her they would keep the planet alive and well for her.
Ecstatic and without much thought, she tried to make a creature of fire and magic- but was faced with a monster of ash and malice. She tried to love and care for it, but it would only spew poison and pollution. Don't weep. He told her. And don't be in such a rush. You must contemplate and put a lot of energy into your creations. They are living beings, they need enough vitality to manifest but also live and thrive.
Quainn thanked him, bowed, and set off to traverse the cosmos.
Quainn explored the stars for years, and in adolescence she found a galaxy so beautiful and serene she couldn't bring herself to leave it. Between the third and fourth planets, she placed Inkora. She'd never felt so at one with herself- She took physical form and explored her planet for many years, mapping it out.
To the north-east in what wouldn't become Lavalvia for thousands of years, Quainn placed a stone-like egg. She smiled and was proud of her first creation as it hatched. The beast was of magic and fire; a Caedium Dragon. She called him Jaddrayr and they spent 1000 years together growing and learning from each other. Then Jaddrayr saw the smoke in the trees; The Versipellis were spreading pollution and poison through the world trying to find them. Jaddrayr challenged the smoke with a vicious roar and took to burning the pollution from the earth with his dragon-fire. He pushed back the poison as much as he could, but he needed help.
Jaddrayr asked his Mother for siblings. She graciously dropped 5 more eggs in the mountains, each capsuling a new type of dragon. Jaddrayr was delighted as he raised his new brothers and sisters, each of them very different: An arctic dragoness of ice and cold, Evylth. A beast of thunder and magic; Choizanth the Furaevio dragon. A behemoth dragoness of Spirit and Aether, Aelladoth the Divu Dragon. A mystical beast of time, Xyldrir the Aevum Dragon. A social dragoness of music and rhythm, Tylei the Corüm Dragon. Quainn helped her children fight back the Versipellis, to the forest from which they came, and sealed them in the earth with all their dragon-breath combined. She was finally content and returned to the heavens observing Her children as they lived together in peace for thousands of years.
Suddenly, in the void of space, a wisp of light and life collided and gave birth to Elexine, the Goddess Herself. (There are those who believe she created herself/brought herself into creation) A young maiden, stood before our Goddess Quainn, and asked for guidance. Quainn took her hand and taught her about their wonderful powers of creation; Elexine sprinkled wilde animals of all shapes and sizes throughout the planet; from the jackalope in the forests to the great Woolley Mammoths that roamed the valleys. Quainn was so proud of her new sister's additions to their world, life under every tree, hidden if every bush.
Quainn started experimenting with her powers of creation. In the central lands, she placed the first Vampire Lord, Nicodemus and Osric the first Lykos Alpha. Across the land She placed Lynexia the first Vampire Duchess and Lorelai the second Lykos Alpha. She watched the two pairs travel, exploring and learning as they grew. On their 21st year, simultaneously, their hearts all stopped, but they did not panic for their Mother told them they would no longer age or die. After several more years, they found each other. The four worked together so naturally that Quainn decided to create more, several more Vampire Lord & Duchess and even Lykos Alpha bloodlines to carry on the species; and they flourished. Again, she was content.
