Creation of Kentotra

The Kentotran creation myth is the cornerstone of all belief in Kentotran Aran'khutu worship. It details the gods and their interactions to create the planet itself. This telling was transcribed from various sources.

Myth
When there was nothing, there became Mytori, the ice, and Arjolas, the fire. For untold ages they were alone, caring for each other, but never touching, for the pain of their opposing forces was too great.

Once, from the nothing came Olakoye and Kotamotu. Delighted with the company, the four became fast friends. In the emptiness, the younger two created. Soon, this culminated in the creation of earth and sky that Olakoye and Kotamotu named Kentotra. When they showed their beautiful creation to Mytori and Arjolas, they fell in love with its majesty. Much to their dismay, their elements were too temporary to create a lasting effect on their friends' creation.

Soon, the planetshapers bore into the emptiness a son. This new life, Go'Shrahd, could move the sky from light to dark, and in doing so, time began on Kentotra. Later came Mazakyel, who brought verdant life that survived on the earth. The planet was soon coated in the beautiful, mysterious new life of the green plants, aided in their growth by Go’Shrahd’s time. Fire and Ice’s hearts swelled at the births of these new gods. They too desired a family like the one Olakoye and Kotamotu created, but they knew to do so would destroy each other.

Soon, the gods noticed how Mazakyel’s plants would not grow past a certain height. The young goddess exhausted herself making so many plants to cover her father’s ground. Despite their hope to aid the young Mazakyel, Fire and Ice found all their efforts to use their attributes to be injurious. Feeling their power was too destructive for their friends' creation, the two resolved to create a new element between their extremes, but knew that doing so would end their lives and create another. They wept that they could never have a family, and only watch Olakoye’s and Kotamotu’s grow, But they knew it had to be done.

Accepting their fates and trusting their friends, they embraced the planet and each other, allowing their own natural abilities to cancel one another out. In an act of love never seen before, their bodies dissolved into a mist which fell onto the planet. The resulting liquid, water, filled the deepest valleys and caverns, forming the great sea, and the lakes and rivers of the land. As the surviving gods wept in grief, out of the new sea rose a child; Klakelaya. Arjolas' and Mytori's divine energy remained in the atmosphere, circling the planet in pockets of heat and cold, bringing their magic with them and creating the seasons.
