Go'Shrahd

Go'Shrahd is the Aran'khutu god of Time, Life, and Death. He was the firstborn of Olakoye and Kotamotu.

Birth of Go'Shrahd
Go'Shrahd was born to Olakoye and Kotamotu after the latter two created Kentotra. As he aged, he discovered he had the power to move his mother's sky, creating the passage of time. As he was still young, his parents helped him control his power so time did not pass too quickly or slowly. By the time his younger sister, Mazakyel, was born, he'd all but gained complete control over his abilities. Thus, Mazakyel was the first god born with a definitely date and time of birth; Go'Shrahd's actual age is unknown, as are those of Olakoye, Kotamotu, Arjolas, and Mytori.

Creation of Life
He is notably absent for most of the myth and only appears at the end of the accounts I have been able to uncover as a sort of deus ex machina wherein he intervenes in the quarrel between his sister Mazakyel and Klakelaya. The latter in a jealous rage tore out his eyes and threw them far into the sky where they became the sun and moon. Given this discrepancy it is possible that somewhere in history, the origins of the sun and moon were tacked onto the end of a different myth entirely. This might be hinted at by the continuation of the uneasy relationship between Mazakyel and Klakelaya.

Regardless, it is evident that Go'Shrahd resents Klakelaya for a long time after the incident, but he does not let that stop him from fathering his new children. The two function much like a divorced couple without actually having been "together," so to speak.

The Reign of Chaos
When the antagonistic human Esthra'ag courted Mo'thagrah, he threw Go'Shrahd out of the realm of gods and onto Kentotra to prevent him from interfering in his plans. With the additional blindfolding of Mo'thagrah's third eye and To'hkadma's birds-eye-view too broad to pinpoint his exact location, Go'Shrahd found himself blind and lost on Kentotra with no way to see where he was going.

The determination to save his daughter fueling him, he stumbled around until he found a middle-aged woman who was willing to lead him to the nearest temple. Much to his dismay, it turned out to be Klakelaya's, but he took the woman's arm anyway. Along the way, he noticed the woman had some internal distress. He soon learned this was due to her mother being deathly ill and the fear of being unable to travel in time to say her final goodbyes. Once they arrived at the temple and Go'Shrahd summoned for Klakelaya to take him back home, he revealed his true self to the astonished woman, promising her a few extra days to visit her mother.

After Mo'thagrah was rescued and Esthra'ag was punished, Go'Shrahd's resentment for Klakelaya started to fade. He realized she'd matured since blinding him all those years ago, reserving her emotional outbursts for the truly wicked. The two were never truly friends, but he came to accept her apologies in time.
