As Lavaria shaped what was going to be their new world, the Sun Goddes floated above the gathering of deities and up to the towering form of the Forger, and gently placed her lips on the colossus's cheeks, fueling her own Divine energies with the mighty stream of power that the greater God emanated.Heliasillyel exploded with light, as the impossibly strong current of Divine energies swept her away - she was now a twig, floating on the surface of a torrential stream of power that sprang forth from the Forger's form. "How can anything have so much power!" the Goddess cried silently in anguish, as she attempted to harness the Overdeity's energy and prevent her own destruction.As her form grew brighter and brighter, the Sun Goddess wished herself away from the Gray Mist, before she would blind those that were not meant to endure such intense luminosity. Heliasillyel found herself in the center of the vast Crystal Sphere that the Forger had created for them, and far in the darkness of space she could see the little orange dot that was the new world, taking shape under Lavaria's guidance.The Goddess floated in the midst of this darkness, which some called realmspace, contemplating her own existence for the briefest of moments. She had been conceived thousands of years ago, as the first Sun Elves had outgrown their base needs for food and shelter, and had turned to their own star and worshiped it, conjuring The Smiling Maiden in the process. Fate had now turned, and it was Heliasillyel who was spawning a sun, soon to give life over new races and creatures. Was that first star her people had worshiped, that gave Heliasillyel her divine form, created by another Deity long forgotten in the unkept history of the multiverse? Was this a perpetual cycle of birth and rebirth - symbol creating God and then God creating symbol?Even a Divine mind was not limitless, even a Goddess was not truly omnipotent. Heliasillyel realized her own boundaries at the face of the monstrous power that threatened to burst her essense to bits. The Sun Goddess cautiously tapped in the Forger's energies and with great care, began feeding the sunspark she had created. The ball of fire swirled around and began to grow exponentially, swallowing Heliasillyel's form in an instant, and radiating an explosion of light towards the edges of the crystal sphere.The Goddess floated amidst the fire of the newborn star, as the shape of the Sun grew larger and larger, fueled by the Forger's sublime strength. "My own power would not be sufficient to create something so vast outside Solarianderriel." the Goddess mused as she soared trough the sea of whiteness and fire. Careful not to create a violent outburst that would swallow Lavaria's work, Heliasillyel gradually expanded the new star in size, until it dwarfed the new world-to-be and made it seem like a speck of ember next to a raging pyre.The Goddess had hidden Ubariya's gift well, so that it was not affected by the creation of the star, and now focused solely on taming the powers of the Forger and securing lasting light, warmth and energy for the new world. It took the limit of her concentration to open only a minuscule portal to the Positive Energy plane and intertwine it with a portal to the Plane of Fire, securing a tickle of fire, light and life giving rays that would forever fuel this new sun.Creating something small with the Forger's power was like attempting to hammer a glass nail with a boulder - losing control even for an instant would mean certain disaster.It took Heliasillyel an eternity to shape and tighten the new sun's form, and although there was no sound in realmspace, the Goddess was sure she had been deafened by the roaring thunder that was this giant inferno. Finally, when she was done, Heliasillyel ripped herself away from the entangling embrace of her own self, and wished herself next to Lavaria's creation. The Sun Goddess was weary and her form would have been trembling, were it truly mortal. Heliasillyel produced the white smooth eye of the Weaver Uncaring, and directed a much narrower and weaker stream of the Overdeity's power at it. The moon grew slowly and steadily, and it's shiny glass-like surface expanded with amazing harmony.Soon, a perfect silvery-white sphere of crystal, four times smaller than the new planet, began slowly rotating around the massive ball of lava, rock and fire below. It reflected the newborn sun's light that streamed from the far distance, and reminded Heliasillyel of a mirror. "Henceforth this celestial body will be known as Ubariya's Mirror." declared the Goddess as her form reluctantly relinquished the Forger's power. The vibrating energies, threatening to burst the Goddess to bits, left her in an instant, and Heliasillyel sighed with relief.</blockquote>
