Harmony, stories of fairies and the legend of the phoenix

Chapter 13

At first the world was covered with ice, on its surface there was no life, everything was endless darkness, the fog reigned supreme in that desolation that had never once seen the dawn.

But then finally came the first day, the sun risen on the horizon, the flare lit up that expanse of ice, the dense fog thinned, and the darkness hides in the deepest darkness.

On the first day the ancestors appeared on earth, enormously powerful and limitless creatures, created to bring life to that infertile planet, the ancestors of the great species of the world, who would one day be remembered by their descendants as deities.

To maintain the balance between chaos and life was born Kismet, the great dragon god, a being with amber eyes and a mantle of indestructible scarlet scales, he melted the ice with his immortal fire bringing magic into the world, he was remembered with the name of god of origin and destruction.

So the earth from a dester of ice became a kingdom of light and life.

Many millennia passed, the ancestors disappeared from the world leaving their descendants respectively of dragons, spirits and demons, who decided to retreat into their respective realms with their knowledge and powers to make room for young creatures, becoming for them almost legends, a memory that in reality is not. Meanwhile, new species began to thrive in the world: elves, dwarves, orcs, humans and many others. They developed over time, fought for them and created villages, nations, kingdoms, empires.
