Two strands of power danced over the land in a dance of beauty and creation. The pale strand, held by a magnificent, glittering serpent with wings of steel, danced and wove itself into mountains, clouds, rocks, and seas. It created the sky and the clouds, pulling all things to the planets' surface, shielding all creations from the volcanic eruptions within, sealed by the land and sea.
The dark strand was held by a twin-tailed fox with inky fur that glistened in the light. Its power caressed the beauty of the world, covering the barren landscape and gifting it with life, shaping animals and plants and bringing color to the canvas the serpent had created, spreading it with the power that it held.
With these two beings of creation, the world was formed.
The serpent and the fox always knew of one another, traveling around the world. However, their powers chained them to the day and night, pulling them apart and holding them away from each other. The only sight that one could hold of another was if they were lucky enough to look over the horizon just to see the other disappear before they can shout out.
This was their existence for many eons, as they created new places and creatures for one-another. Never meeting through anything other than the mementos they left behind.
That was until the fox created the humans.
Creatures designed to hold power and intelligence, to exist as the new rulers of the world. and to serve as the vessels of the old deities. With this, the fox and the serpent planned to break from their chains, to place all their power into new beings and new life.
To end their existence and start anew.
With this creation, new dawn rose. The serpent gave their form to create the fast and cunning, writing the future of assassins to come, gifting his form to the power of the new. The fox shed his fur and created humans of delicate grace and beauty, placing his faith in the power of kindness in their souls.
With these two families, their fates are written.
Set in stone.
Finally, the fox and the serpent shall meet.
