Beginning

In the beginning there was only one goddess if you could call her that. She hovered below bedrock trapped against the void. For many centuries she dozed but then one day she woke, her loneliness nearly ate her alive as she regained consciousness. To remedy it she created three sons for herself. She crafted their bodies from bedrock, so that no one could ever hurt them. Then mixed in the essences of biomes to give her sons life. Her first two sons she made strong and capable, she named them Onicent and Dauntice. But when she looked at them she realized they would never truly need her as a mother, so when she created her third son she made him smaller then the first two, and when she her completed him she named him Maiguh.

For a short while she was happy with her company, together her sons and her floated in the endless void and darkness. Her sons talked of many things though. Things that weren't in the void but above. The old goddess tried to content herself with their stories and assure herself she'd been right to make them down here. But soon she started to realized in the void her sons could never grow. They had come from above and she had pulled them down into her prison. Though they all loved her dearly none would ever be truly furfilled, so one by one she sent them away.

Onicent and Dauntice went full of ambition, but of course carried regret as well to leaving their mother behind. They both promised they'd free her too, she tried not to show her sadness. Maiguh on the other hand was less inclined to leave her, even if he missed the world above. Once, twice he tried to leave her to join his brothers, and each time he came back to her. She could tell he was suffering.

Finally his brothers came back for a day to see them and convinced him of the world above and at last he left too. He too promised to return soon, of the three he kept that promise best.

From time to time a son returned to her, but they came infrequently and she missed them terribly, only Maiguh stayed at her side long. Eventually she began to fall back into deep sleep, she may have been dozing but her sons, fresh and ambitious were only getting started up above.
