More sad doomed gays for pride month I guess? There are multiple of these, all the gods are gay. Maybe I'm the problem. No one likes burying their gays more than the gays.
-^- The Sky's Severance
Once in a time before time, the day and night were one in the same. The sky a mix of dark and light, the sun shined with the stars and danced with the moon in the early days of existence. Space and all that crossed it was unified in divinity as a lost elemental, Cyfnos.
Space is the barrier between the Now and the Before. The pressure of looming infinite creation caused the beginning of the sky's collapse, cracking and splintering apart releasing some of that everything beyond the clouds.
Cyfnos first went to Knowledge to ask and beg for a solution of which he could only offer one. To hold the heavy sky the burden must be spread but no other elemental could reach the sky to hold it's weight, only Cyfnos. Even Nova was to low to hold what Cyfnos carried. So, together Conrad and Cyfnos created a plan of the only way that was known. It was to separate the primordial soul of Space and those two halves would carry it together.
With this knowledge, Cyfnos approached Time. He asked for him to tear the sky in half, allowing for two to carry the burden so that the weight would no longer be too much. Zaman was hesitant with the knowledge Cyfnos wouldn't survive. But seeing the future which had already lost him, he knew there was no choice.
He pulled Space and Sky into two, separated, night and day. The sun no longer met the stars, the moon no longer danced with rainbows and the sky no longer fell. The two halves forever only partial, new from an immortal soul, separate from it's full life.
Lux and Nox two pieces of one soul apart eternally, after the severance on the first of many nights Nox cried and when celestial tears fell on muddy shores and grew a sapling. When light rose with the first of many days it nurtured the sapling into a tree infused with divine energy.
And twice a year on the equinox, when day and night are closest the sky grows heavy and is pressed thin by creation, you can see The After through the sky. The trees will glow a dim ghostly white and mark the fight between the Now and Before.
