The goddess of my original story, along with the first part of the prologue!
"Long ago, before the world possessed shape, there was only the Eternal Darkness. The Darkness held no life, suffocating all it touched, leaving only barren wastelands all around. The heavenly bodies far above took pity on the bareness of this space, and so nine beings of incredible divine might rushed to this corner of oblivion to chase away the Darkness. Among this group of holy crusaders was the Goddess of Light and Purity, a being who's entire existence was fraught with the challenge to bring Love and Justice to the cosmos, the majestic dragoness Ethelinda.
The Gods began to wage a war on the Darkness, each possessing abilities that a mortal could never even hope to imagine, and in so doing they dispelled the oncoming Shadow of Death. It was then, as they began to return to their shining domain, Ethelinda's compassion led to the creation of our world, her domain of Purity and Love piecing together dust and debris left from the War of Shadows. Soon after she had created this world, she set about producing the forests, the seas, and most of all, creating life.
The other Gods where displeased, stating that they had no right to create life, let alone commit the sacrilege that Ethelinda herself had created, and yet she remained with her progeny. It was then, as she proceeded to create and raise the Prime Species, she was struck by the other eight that she had originally arrived in the Darkness with. The Gods where merciless, but try as they might, Ethelinda refused to flee, to save herself from the pain.
When the assault ended, Ethelinda used up the last of her strength, the purity of her heart and soul, and her love for her children, to transform herself into pure light, creating a barrier through which none of the Deities could pass. Since then, our world has ever been shielded from their interference, all thanks to our glorious Mother. Now, I fear, a shadow of evil that once formed our world, threatens to shatter that same protection. Let us hope the All Mother will give us the strength to fight this reign of shadow, and live in peace."
