Life, once introduced, did not settle quietly. Existence began to accumulate. Structures held. Species endured. Worlds stabilized.
But continuity without conclusion produced pressure. Growth without an ending did not create harmony. It created imbalance. Kumar recognized this.
And so he created Death. He did not shape Death as destruction. He shaped her as closure. Death was given form and awareness. Her name was Angle.
Her role was precise to conclude existence when continuity no longer served balance. She did not judge. She did not act out of will or emotion. She ended what had reached its limit.
To Angle, death was not cruelty. It was completion. When Huros became aware of Death's creation, he intervened. To Huros, Death was too absolute.
He saw in her an endpoint that could not be negotiated, a certainty that threatened structure itself. Huros imposed a limitation.
"You will die every time," Huros declared.
"End without end."
Death, as Huros defined it, would terminate and then terminate again. She would not persist. She would not accumulate authority.
But Kumar did not reject limitation. He rewrote it.
"Death will cease," Kumar said,"but not endlessly."
The rule changed. Death would fall once, after a vast interval of existence. After that interval, she would return unchanged. Death was no longer infinite.
But neither was she disposable.The balance held. With mortality stabilized, Kumar turned to preservation. Life required more than survival. It required continuity of intention.
And so he created Guardians. Guardians were not rulers. They were not gods. Each Guardian was assigned to a single planet one primary world per species.
Their purpose was simple: to preserve the intended condition of that world. They did not interfere with growth. They did not guide evolution. They prevented collapse.
Some were named Scor, Licor, Aebtr, and others whose roles were precise but unseen. Their presence was felt only when failure approached. No species would compete for origin space. No race would overwrite another's foundation.
Creation gained boundaries. For himself, Kumar shaped a place not tied to any species. He named it Fayran Cube. It simply existed as his anchor a point from which he could observe without governing.
Kumar did not restrain his own capabilities.
And Huros noticed. Where Kumar saw architecture, Huros saw escalation. To Huros, unchecked creation was not progress.
It was a destabilizing force. To counterbalance what he perceived as excess, Huros began shaping his own creations.
Entities not designed for growth but for constraint Devils, Dowrfs and elves. Each was crafted to limit, restrict, and oppose expansion that exceeded intended bounds.
They were not evil by nature. They were corrective forces. Among them, Huros created one being apart from the rest. A girl named Aashi. Unlike the others, Aashi was not meant to oppose Kumar directly. She was designated a Guardian.
Her directive was singular to Protect Elysira. Huros declared his stance to those aligned with him.
"Kumar is a threat," he said,"He must be stopped."
The Big-Bang had fulfilled its purpose. Existence now possessed form, direction, and meaning. What followed would not be decided by force but by consequence.
