The Second Age - Conflict in the Depths

And thus was born Nowa,

And Nowa looked and saw the Blue World

And she was captivated by its depths.

And so within them she created The Abysmal.

Prismatic they were

With glittering eyes

And beautiful tentacles tipped with pearls

And beaks as sharp and hard as stone.

Above all she gifted them

With the knowledge of foresight.

This vision did not betray

The Law of Time as dictated

By Sa and Ma.

No one could see the future.

Rather by instinct

The sunken creatures

Saw the clever mechanics of natural law

At its best.

At its most refined.

Soon their cities

Began to light up in the night

From harnessed lightening

And shifting transports.

And the Simsaur looked up to the heavens.

And saw the Blue world

And were jealous.

So they unleashed their minions

In the dead of night

Though a backway gate that slew

Thousands of their eggs.

And Nowa was wroth

And demanded reciprocity

From L’cin’bok.

L’cin’bok would have none of it.

And he laughed at his sister’s plight.

For all for him was order

And she had her jurisdiction

And he had his own.

How was it his fault if she could not protect her playthings?

And Nowa showed L’cin’bok

That Hila hath no fury

Like a woman scorned

And with a motion of her power

Widened the gate

Pouring a third of the blue world

To that of the green

Covering its surface with ocean.

Killing millions of the Simsaur.

Now L’cin’bok was wroth.

And moved to exude his power

To destroy Nowa.

But he could not.

For the second age was Nowa’s now.

And whilst Nowa could not undo

That which had come before

She could forestall her brother’s actions.

So it was,

That war began between the Abysmal and the Simsaur.
