Myths of the Elemental Religion Phyarx builds himself a housePhyarx decided he needed a house to live in. It would shelter him from the evil vibrations that still echoed through space. And he bound his light together with the snares of space, and the most beautiful palace appeared. Phyarx called his house Fon.Fon was made of shiny gold, with diamonds and mirrors that reflected the light of its builder. Fon was so bright, it was visible from everywhere. But it also hurts the eyes, for no one will be able to see the reflection of Phyarx. Fon is huge, like a city, with floors of gold, and walls of mirrors. The tapestries are made of woven light and silk, silver is the furniture. High rising towers and turrets are pure gold, topped with gemstones. The windows of Fon are all crystal, and in the garden blossom only the trees that grow gold and silver. The fountains sparkle with gems of all colours, and the rivers are full of mead. And all of Fon is hallowed in the light of Phyarx. It was Fon that Phyarx wanted to give to Nox, as a house in which they both could live and love. But Nox did not want the light and the gold. She kept in the shadows of Airtha, and only sometimes visited her brother. LukarnaPhyarx was full of passion. He loved almost everything, but his love consumed everything like fire. Only his twin sister Nox could withstand him, and she loved him deeply, for they had been one.Their love resulted in a daughter. They called her Lukarna. She went to her father, who gave her light, and she turned to her mother, who gave her darkness. And both Phyarx and Nox gave the child the best view over Airtha, and from Airtha, one can see Lukarna in the sky. When the gods started their war, Nox decided that little Lukarna could not live without a mother, and Lukarna was only visible at night, in the cold embrace of her mother and only sometimes in the daylight, at times that Phyarx looked at Airtha from his home Fon. But Lukarna still had the gift of light, a light that was not as strong as the light of her father, but it was light, and her mother hated it. Sometimes Nox would take all the light away from Lukarna, and the night sky would be dark. And once in a while, Nox forced her daughter to visit her father Phyarx, and destroy his house Fon. Airtha would turn dark in these times, and the people mourned for the loss of Fon. They knew Phyarx would rebuild his house, but once, who knows when, he would not be able or willing to rebuild it. And that would be the end of times. [Back to top] Related topics: |
