The Dawn of Civilization
As time passed, the Luminaris and Noctiris spread across the world.
They discovered, built, explored.
Aiden and Nihlus watched over them, not as gods, but as architects, letting them shape their own destinies.
The Luminaris built towers that touched the skies, harnessing energy from the very stars.
The Noctiris carved great underground cities, their wisdom stretching into the depths of the world.
And yet, despite their differences—
They did not war.
Not yet.
Instead, they were curious.
Seeking, learning, growing.
But Aiden knew—
It wouldn't stay that way forever.
Because where there was life—there would always be conflict.
And this world had yet to see its first great challenge.
The Shadow on the Horizon
Far beyond the lands of the Luminaris and Noctiris—something stirred.
Something ancient, beyond even Aiden and Nihlus's understanding.
A force that had been waiting since the very first moment existence was born.
Aiden felt it.
