You remember the great flood, yes? All life but a family of 8 people and 2 of every kind of animal gone as a punishment for the overwhelming wickedness that had engulfed your world.

Never before had such a great number of souls, wicked or otherwise, been ferried at once, and thankfully, never since, even in the advent of the Jarwa.

My Acolytes, you must believe me when I say that while there is war and sorrow, there is also hope. A hope that remains, however faint, and burns brighter than a trillion Suns combined. It is a promise, a prophecy given to your kind from the very beginning.

Remember the serpent in your garden, whispering to your ancestors with the voice of Sevaasi? Da Vaada did not curse it and its line without a purpose. The enmity, the perpetual war between it and the offspring of the woman, was a seed of redemption, a path back to him. A certain messiah, if you will. 

Ah, you know the tale. Very well, I would hope. It will be important later.

For the longest time, my Acolytes, your people and the more intelligent beasts on your world were indeed alone in the universe, as far as sapient mortal life was concerned. Sevaasi, ever the persistent disruptor, would often propose the question to his former brethren: Why?

Why is the universe so large and empty? Why do all these planets exist with no life on them? Why does Teyra hoard it all?

Now, Sevaasi had laid eyes on the Titaness, Fari Hasira and his heart filled with hate. She was born from Kallor and Kibet's fatal and final union that brought death to the stars. She was void of light, as he was, yet having light as he once did, and raised to Udamu to be amongst the hosts HE once commanded as Onárstil, defending the humans he so despised.

He would have her as he had them. She would fall as they did, as he did.
