Moirai groaned as she was softly shaken awake, with a groaned she nuzzled into the warm person next to her. "Mmmmh... just a few more moments Aion." Moirai mumbled causing the dark immortal to sigh.

"Come on Mora, you have to get up and raise the sun; you know it doesn't like me." Moirai groaned and sunk deeper into him. Aion sighed and snapped his fingers teleport out of her embrace. "Nooooo!" She cried out as he walked back over to her.

"Come on sleepy head, you we have a lot to do today." Aion said. Moirai grumbled as she rolled on to her back and her hand glowed with a white aura as she raised it and the sun began to rise. As she did this Aion raised his hand as well, a dark aura surrounding it. and above them the stars began to fade as the moon set and the sun rose.

After a few moment the moon had vanished and the sun had been set on it's course, Aion nodding in satisfaction as he turned to Moirai. "Well now that your up, I got something for you." he said as he set a down some folded fabric.

Moirai slowly reached for it and picked it up. "Really Shadow, more cloths?" she asked as she examined the cloths only to realized that it was a cloak similar to Aions but instead of it being black and tattered it was white and had gold fabric lining it.

"Well you've been asking for a cloak but if you don't want it I can always take it back" He said prompting the young goddess to pull it to her chest and give him a dark look. Aion smiled and chuckled as he turned and walked over to the fire pit and sat down reaching into the wood pile to transport a couple more sticks into the little fire. The hungry embers nibbled at the log till there hunger got the best of them, and with a chorus of crackling flames devoured the log. Once the fire was made he beginning to stir the contents of a crude clay pot that was set above it. Moirai grinned like a child as she pulled the cloak on and fastened the clip, the morning was filled with the calls of birds and the chirping of insects. Nothing quieted down for a second, it was as if the schedule was always filled with the need for some animal to call out and confirm its existence.

"Mora we've spent the past three years in this valley, and you've grown in leaps and bounds both in skill and power." Aion said as he ladled some soup into a bowl and handed it to her. "As the embodiment of Life it is your duty to create and maintain life. As the embodiment of Death, especial as the Grimm Reaper, it is my duty to rule the Underworld and guide the souls of mortals to the Gates of Eternity. We've performed our duty perfectly and you've even created the races of this world in the image of us. The Earth Ponies have done well maintaining the earth, while the Pegasus have maintaining the air."

"Aion, if you don't mind I... I'd like to ask about Moros Apocalypsis? I mean, what is his place in all this?" Moirai asked.

Aion was silent for a moment before sighing. "I suppose I'd have to explain who he is to you eventually." He said as he set the bowl of soup down. "My original home is far from this place, not simply on another world but in another dimension entirely." He started to explain. "When I was brought to this place I was not the only one, there were in fact three of us. The first of us was your predecessor, Morgana Le'fay the Embodiment of Life. She was... almost your opposite in every way. The next was myself as the Embodiment of Death and finally there was Moros Gravitas the Avatar of Gravity."

As time went on more and more immortal being appeared and with each group to come came different immortals with different powers. As time went on the first thirteen immortals, including myself formed a council that worked to insure that things ran smoothly however as time wore on it became obvious that three factions began to form, those that sided with Life and those that didn't were the first and each side was headed by either Morgana or Moros, I formed the third faction which was the neutral faction.

During this time Moros and I were close allies, bordering on almost brothers, but I'm sure you can guess that this state of events would not last. A darkness was slowly creeped in and began to corrupt us but we were all too arrogant to see it but this darkness would soon give way to Moros and his allies turning on Morgana in an attempt to kill her. The battle was long and eventually I and my faction were forced to side with Morgana in an effort to stop the madness. I tried to get Moros to see reason but he wouldn't see reason, he was convinced that Morgana had to die and all life be extinguished; in the end by the time I was able to confront him there was nothing left of my friend, he was just too far gone.

It wasn't long after out first confrontation that he abandoned his old name and took the name he now has, Moros Apocalypsis. After that everything went about how I explained it, Moros led the corrupted Embodiment to try and take more power with the war lasting longer than we ever thought and only getting worse with each battle. By the time of the final battle the whole universe was convulsing in agony, the last of the non-corrupted Embodiments barely able to standing against the endless hoard of abominations that Moros now commanded and Morgana was nearly dead so I ended it by destroying both sides. I ripped apart the fabric of reality creating an abyss from which nothing could escape to imprison his army before I dragged Moros into that pit of hell personally and used the life force of every living thing in existence that had survived up to that point, even my fellow Immortals, to fashion chains that would never break, rust or decay. He wanted to rule the universe from a throne so that's what I gave him, the throne he so craved would be his prison for him for all eternity.” As Aion finished his explanation Moirai sat in shocked silence. "In the end, as I said, there was no winner of that war. Morgana was dead and Moros imprisoned while I leveled the entire universe just to contain him.”

"So if all that you've said is true than how did he get out of his imprisonment?" Moirai asked.

"He didn't." Aion replied with a stern tone. "Or I should say that he hasn't yet. Apocalypsis is still trapped, I even checked the Abyss myself. But from what I can tell he figured out how can manifest his presence for a few moments but to do so would take a extreme amount of power." He explained in frustration.

"So it's like a 'once every hundred years he can appear for a few minutes' thing?" Moirai asked.

Aion nodded. "It's not possible to imprison an Embodiment forever, we can be contained and trapped but even that's not easy to do and ultimately is just a temporary measure. When you take into account that Moros ascended to become the Embodiment of Entropy itself then you realize that it's impossible." Aion said in a tired voice. "But we got a bit off topic with your question about Moros." Aion said as his tone shifted to a bit more happy, even if it seemed forced. "Moirai it's time for us to start creating the new Aspects of this world and the Avatars of power." As he said this he stood up and began to clean the area around them.

Moirai frowned. "Hey Aion what's the difference between us and a Aspect or Avatar?" Moirai asked.

Aion paused in his cleaning up to think for a moment. "An Aspect is a living manifestation of a certain part of the world. For example the Aspect of the Earth would have full control of the earth and anything to do with earth but would have no control of the air or sea because that is not there domain. An Avatar is the physical manifestation of a Cosmic Law, an example of this would be Moros, before he became the bringer of the Apocalypse he was the Avatar of Gravity meaning he controlled the laws of Gravity itself. Then there's us, as Embodiment we control all that Aspects and Avatars represent but we also represent something the Universe can not exist with out, Life and Death."

"Can I really create such beings? I mean sure I've created the races of the world but this entirely different!" Moirai asked as she shifted uncomfortably.

"Well, you'll need my help to do it but the short answer is yes, you can." He said with a dismissive wave. "As for your concerns about being able to create them, who was it that created the Earth Pony, Pegasus and Unicorn?" Aion asked as he turned to Moirai.

"I did but it was relatively easy I just took the components required and fashioned them after us." Moira replied.

"Hmm... okay maybe that's true, but who was it that created the Zebra, Griffon, Dragon and Minotaur after hearing the legends about them from me." Aion asked and smiled.

"The Zebra and Minotaur were similar to the Earth Pony and the Griffons are similar to the Pegasus. The Dragons were just like a lizard only more intelligent and able to breath fire. Besides you did better when you made the Reapers, Goats and Changelings." Moirai said with a scoff.

"Perhaps, so I'll give you a challenge. Explain the Phoenix and Windigo."

"Um..." Moirai stopped and thought.

"Moirai, no matter how much you try to deny it you are ready to do this. Besides I'll be there every step of the way." Aion said encouragingly.

Moira nodded and walked over to Aion. "What do I have to do and wouldn't you have to train them?"

"We wont need to train them, when a Aspect or Avatar is created it has the knowledge required to do its job from the start, think of the Aspect/ Avatar as a machine that has the basics programed in to them from the beginning, just don't treat them like a machine." Aion chucked at that and looked at Moirai. "Remember they are living beings and while they know what to do they will be like a new born child in that they will need to learn about the world."

"I understand, they institutionally know what to do but they are children in how the think and act. While we wont have to teach them there power we'll have to teach them restraint."

Aion nodded. "Correct, now we just need to figure out what we will be creating, do you want to make a Aspect or Avatar?"

"Um... I think we should try to make a Avatar, they seem to be the more important of the two." Moirai said hesitantly.

Aion nodded. "So which one do you want to create first? There's... hang on I need to remember." He said as he tapped his chin in thought. "Magic, Space & Time, Chaos, Harmony, Retribution and Probability? I think that's all of them?" He said with a shrug.

"Magic." Moirai said.

Aion nodded. "Okay so next we need a name."

Moirai paused for a moment as she thought for a moment. "I think we should follow the same concept for how we named ourselves. What was the Primordial of magic?"

"There wasn't one." Aion replied. "However there was being that represented Magic, Hecate the Titan of Magic."

"Hecate... I think we need another name to go with it. How about... Asteria." Moirai said slowly before turning to Aion "Asteria Hecate, Star Magic." She said with a smile.

"Alright now with all that done, all we have to do is pool our magic together and imagine what they will be like.

After Aion explained this the two immortals raised their hands and gathered as much power as they could before slowly pushing it together and allowing it to take the form. With a bright flash the magic transformed and a girl with pail white skin and snow white hair with small demon horns and wings appeared.

The girl yawned and slowly opened her eyes revealing they were a bright red and looked at the two tired Embodiment. "Mother, Father!" She cried in joy as she saw them. Moirai and Aion froze up for a moment before Moirai fainted and Aion simply sat down.

"I need a drink." Aion said mournfully as Asteria walked over and sat next to him confused.
