The Izumo Gensei and the Takama Divine Realm—twin planets bound by a shared, tragic fate, where a silent song permeates the Cave Where Light Hid. This song, an enigma, has no beginning, no end, no sound, and no echo; it emerges from no singer and reaches no ears. Yet, it speaks of:
Takamagahara, endless as Izumo, once a paradise perfect and untouched.
Darkness then cloaked the skies; the great sun's gravity stirred the tides, prompting the Kami to leave trails as if in migration.
The Yaoyorozu no Magakami unleashed merciless slaughter, little anticipating that their unmatched authority would be usurped.
In response, Izumo shattered seventy thousand and thirty-three warriors' blades to forge twelve majestic Sentinels:
Truth: Born from the slain Sovereign of Revelation, granting mortals the power to understand all laws, dissect realities, and recreate miracles.
Sky: Crafted from the slain Eternal Zenith, transforming the sky into impenetrable barriers, thwarting the steps of Magatsu no Morokami.
Howl: Derived from the slain Almighty Thunder, capable of tearing the heavens with lightning and meteors to deliver divine justice.
Mist: From the slain Everbreath, summoning endless raging gales that shear landscapes.
Frost: Forged with the slain Heaven's Winter Cloak, freezing time itself, extending moments into eternities.
Fate: From the slain Spurned Sister of Mortality, blossoming life on barren graves, intertwining life and death.
Flare: Created from the slain Flamebringer, able to incinerate worlds, scorching skies and charring earth.
Thought: From the slain Wisdom Supreme, discerning past and future through the reflective truths of water.
Root: Born from the slain Father of Lands, commanding the geography to reshape itself dramatically.
Form: Forged with the slain Nether Lord, unifying disparate entities into a singular force.
Bind: From the slain Omen Ward, caging misfortune and vanquishing demons instantly.
Maw: Crafted from the slain Woes Eighty, aging the mortal world, equalizing Kami and Oni by sundering their souls.
Following great turmoil, the underworld quieted, the wars ceased, and the twelve blades were broken and sealed.
Amidst the void left behind, restless souls stirred under a black sun. Two new blades were then forged, named "Origin" and "End"—signifying the commencement with humanity and the conclusion with Oni-kind.
The lamentations halted, dead flowers bloomed and wilted in cycles, and those defeated retreated into oblivion, while the victors faded into nothingness.
A hobbling monk, absent of melody, sang this song for those graced with the power of Kami, who walk backward toward their divinity.
Witnessed by the resplendent sun, the land once celebrated as Izumo lay barren, emptied of humans, Oni, and Kami.
Or so it should have unfolded, had not a lone spark of fire landed in the recesses of memory untouched by Nihility.
A spark of hope.
