"The creation of Stelera."

"All the gods and goddesses were gathered in their usual spot in their domain called Galaktaeum when one of the goddesses, Luminosa, the goddess of light, joy and comfort, had an idea. What if they all joined together and combined their powers to create something absolutely beautiful? She coaxed each and every one of her fellow celestial beings as she began to describe what they were going to create using the powers of the other gods and goddesses."

"Which made them enthusiastic about the idea, because they could have a part in whatever it is they were going to create. She said that it would have the intelligence of Intrelektum, the god if intelligence and knowledge, the heart of Korazinoa, the goddess of love, sympathy and empathy, and most of all, the life and soul of the most powerful celestial being of them all. Their leader and the one that created them who they simply call Theall."

"Luminosa and the others were only lower class celestials compared to Theall. Theall was only one of his kind and he created all the others including her. He was the main and supreme celestial as he was the only one who can create life as well as destroy it. All the other gods and goddesses were getting excited as more and more ideas started to be included. Of course the creature needed a place to call home and they can't just be floating around in their domain, so Ethertha the goddess of soil, earth, mountains and crops suggested that they create a giant ball of earth they can live on."

"Then, Aquonous, the god of water, the sea and sea creatures asked if he can put some water on this giant ball of earth so this creature they were going to create can enjoy the wonders of the sea. He also asked if he can create some of his own creatures of his own design and let them live on the water part of this giant ball of earth. Luminosa suggested that it would be a splendid idea to create a source of light for these creatures so that they would not live in complete darkness."

"And many other gods and goddesses joined in and created a crowd of excitement at whatever it is they were trying to create. As

all beings do, like when you're trying to create a project in class and all of your fellow classmates start suggesting things that would make whatever project it is you're creating ten times cooler."

"It would of course, catch the attention of the teacher, in this case Theall. He asked them what is it that they were making. They all said that they didn't have a name for it yet, but that they have an idea on what it would be like, what it would look like, where would it live and how it can live. Theall stepped closer and inspected the creature they had wanted to created."

"As he inspected all the things they planned to create, he started to smile. All the gods and goddesses were anxious. They didn't really know if Theall will allow their creations to live. He is the only one who can give life to their ideas and their creatures. Finally, Theall gave a hearty laugh and gave all of their creations life."

"With a thunderous, yet joyful voice, he said

'I will name this creation "Man" and this one, "Woman". They will live in this world which shall be called 'Stelera' filled with all the other creatures I have breathed life upon and which all of you had joined together to create. Name all the others you want. But, these two are the most wonderful idea you had created. I have wonderful plans for these two wonderful creatures.'

"And so, after uttering these words, he had done something that he had never even done to his own gods and goddesses that he had created first before this Man and Woman."

"He gave them a part of his soul."

"All the other gods and goddesses were shocked. As life was simply breathed upon them, and the souls they had was something they had to grow themselves. But these creatures were so special that Theall used his own soul so that they will not start empty handed like they did and would already have a soul when they walk across the earth they helped create."

'These creatures are special. They must be above any other creature that you create, as this creature had brought all of you together, just to create it. I can see this creature will always bring all of you together if there was ever a chance that all of you would be torn apart from each other. Is that understood?'

"All the gods and goddesses nodded in agreement."

"Except one."
