Old Tales

The story of Ethraksha
In these stories, Ethraksha is the name given to "the mother and source of all magic", rather than the Cerulean. In these stories, Ethraksha will draw parallels to L.U.C.Y, but that won't be apparent to any regular reader for a LONG time.

One day, Ethraksha created the land of Arcerra.

Ethraksha split MOST OF her being into two equal yet entirely unique halves, and bestowed her great power to two young men: siblings who had proven themselves to be the generous and benevolent, the greatest among men, deserving of such power.

They would become the vessels that will enact Ethraksha's will and turn Arcerra into a paradise. The first vessel was Aether, the second vessel was Akasha; they would come to be known as the Great Kings who brought prosperity to the land

Beyond the Great Kings, there were others who were deemed worthy of becoming holy vessels, although they did not gain as much favor from Ethraksha. Pledging their allegiance to the Kings and vowing to serve Ethraksha at kings and vowed to follow them, assisting in their mission. They and theirs would become known as the Arkin: Kin of the Arcane.

There were some Arkin who did not want to follow the Great Kings. There are stories about that.

Aether and Akasha were too close to gods to relate to mankind, and they did not like this. They decided to share their power with mortals, giving them Magic. (This will cover up the Arkin Preventative Measure and take credit for the Diving Blessing at the same time) Doing this split Ethraksha's very being across each and every human being on Arcerra, making her holiness a part of all of us. (This will by why, in the Tsunian Mythos, there are no real gods to worship. Only the Arkin, who were revered.)

All was good in the world for a while. But then people began to abuse Ethraksha's power and it stirred her out of her slumber. She decided that there is no longer anybody worthy of her love. She took most of her power back, then she abandoned everyone.

The Artifacts are mentioned more than enough times in the Mythos as the personal weapons of the Arkin. They still exist today, with virtually zero differences between the real and story versions. The Government claim that the ones used in present day are just hyper advanced weapons BASED OFF OF the stories. Yeah sure.

Ethr Crystals that survived until Era IV are also just called "magic-technological advances".

Tsunian Nobility? aren't they kind of proof that the mythos has SOME truth? the powers match up and they're in positions of power? I guess they themselves really believe it and some other people do too. But most people decide to chalk it up to coincidence. It's kind of the same reason why the kardashians are famous.

That's what the general population know. Most just say they're stories and don't care about how it matches up with the real world. Others take it with a grain of salt and are skeptical/fearful. We all know that's nowhere near the truth, but how many people know that ACTUALLY truth, and how much of it? (edited). People who don't believe in the Tsunian Mythos and don't care about the past (most people) People who believe that these stories are true (Quite a few people) People who know that the Mythos is a inaccurate retelling of history, and partly know about events that took place in previous eras (Shadow Cult Member, Distinguished Houses, etc.) People who know the entire truth (You can count how many people know this much on one hand)

Cremating Flames
some guy that worked in a mourge when the great kings gave everyone magic

he gained a fire affinity, so he began to use his own fire to burn bodies

as he got better and better his flames got brighter, hotter, and burned faster

eventually his special type of fire magic became known as crematising flames

blah

the great kings gained word of this, and they decided to pay him a visit

they asked him to show them how he does it.

He gives a demonstration and the great kings mimic it perfectly. he has their praise

This type of fire became the offical advanced magic technique for fire.]

The Mcleods
I think there was some story (Put this in old tales) about some Mcleod that nobody knew was a Mcleod because he was outcast or left or some shit, and he like helped the Great Kings a lot while they were still "not able to OHKO superman". And then when he revealed that he's from a family of servants, the Great Kings felt tat shit hard. People started doing the same thing as that Mcleod so as not to be immediately judged, and it just caught on. This is also the story of how the Mcleods went from being "that servant family with the filthy blood powers" to "One of the most powerful clans in the Region who have close bonds with the Tsuneo Royal Family"

most propbably so that poeple do not judge others based on their names, which would tell them what family they come from. you are meant to determine whether you like a person or not based on them AS A PERSON, not. For example, the Mcleods

TSUNIAN MYTHOS CAN SAFELY STATE THAT THERE WERE MORE PEOPLE LIKE B.K BEFORE HE ASCENDED AND FOUNDED THE MCLEODS.

The Second Calamity: Extinction Event
That was nearly the end for our main cast. Many, MANY characters are going to be unfortunately killed off during this part. What makes this even worse is that most of them had their Programming (Mind, Body, and Souls) split up across several different Pallobalt Weapons, effectively corrupting and killing them for good. There isn't any coming back from that.

But then the same guy who figured out that Pallobalt > Ethraksha ALSO found out that if you absorb an entire Predater into a single weapon, you'll make a powerful weapon with the same powers as the "Demon". That was a big Fuck up; it worked on the first few dozen Predater, but then Humans tried to seal Coral and Gurass, the most powerful Predaters. They broke out and killed everyone in sight immediately.

So Humanity didn't try that again. Luckily for the Predaters, since only the exceptionally strong are able to unseal themselves from within Pallobalt. BUT, they just went back to doing what they were doing originally.

The Original was pretty traumatised by that point in the war. Emotions or desires that are running through a living being's mind are better absorbed by Ethraksha, and most of the people that the Original had absorbed during the fight were Fearful and Sad right to their very ends. Scared for his life and those of the innocent, the Original threw away his kin's dream of ascension through evolution.

He promised Humanity that the 15 or so Predaters left would stop absorbing and killing Humans; just leave us alone. And they did for about a month...until the Original found something:

Still grieving the loss of his family and friends, the Original Predater wandered the Wind Region for days.

It found the Aestithikodex, the one from "90 Days till Doom", and became all-knowing. Or at least all-knowing of everything that Humanity before the 1st Calamity.

It discovered that Ethraksha was an alien substance. That a comet as old as time itself crashed into the now-destroyed Moon and became the Nebula Skyfall. It learned that this Comet contained Flow, Ethraksha, and Pallobalt inside of itself and it had spilt onto the Earth as it broke apart. Day and Night used to alternate every 720 minutes, not every 6 months. There is more to the planet than the continent or Arcerra. Humans had been around for about 2 million years, a lifetime longer than any Predater, and yet they managed to bring the entire planet to the brink of destruction in a fraction of that time. If it were not for Origin, humanity would have destroyed itself.

The Original got really mad. Such a beautiful planet destroyed by greed and vanity. Disgusting. He will NOT let Humanity destroy Arcerra like it did to the former Earth.

"Everything" was pretty hard to contain without going insane. It ran the risk of killing itself, corrupting his own Programming. The Original removed a majority of the Aestithikodex's information relating to Human History from itself and stored that Programmed Ethraksha in an orb of Pallobalt. Then it removed its memory of finding the Aestithikodex and ran off...

The original had basically already gone insane, however. It decided it's disdain for Humanity and basically said "Fuck Peace we're killing all of them"

The Orginal spent 40 days finding the rest of the Surviving Predaters. With them, he returned to the shores that he was "Born" from and began to talk.

The knowledge from the Aestithikodex gave him mastery over how to Program one's own Ethraksha. He proved this by taking that knowledge, copying it into 15 other pieces of Ethraksha, and giving one of those pieces to a Predater. They know have the ability to Self-Program as he does.

Further utilising the concept of Self-Programming, he showed them how to give instructions or leave messages within other Pieces of Ethraksha that would self-destruct after they were carried out, so as not to affect the Predater recieving the message.

Lastly, and most importantly, The Original show his 15 brothers and sisters how to make the very ground they stand on do their bidding. Most of the Earth is actually intensely-Programmed Ethraksha that won't respond to any other Programming. One command to "Delete all Programming" and it'll return to being Ethraksha. This method worked on just about everything that wasn't a human.

After that little ascension class, The Original and the other Predaters went around injecting the Living Weapons that couldn't break out how to do so...And how they're gonna kill all of Humanity in a week's time.

That time came around and nobody could react fast enough to do anything. Arcerra's population went from 3 billion to 100million. They didn't even take any Programming from them, they just killed them. Every living weapon broke out, and there were no more.

oNow, what to do with the rest of Humanity?
