The big bull was overjoyed to have found some creature so excited to hear him out. There was nothing so satisfying as sharing a belief with someone willing to listen.<br/><br/>â€œYou see, in the time between worlds, there was only the void. Nothingness. And in it dwelt creatures who reveled in destruction. None so devastating as the Dire Wolf, Dirus himself. Dirus could only devour, never create. But there was, in the most hidden place in the void, one who did not want destruction. And he was called Aurox, the Great Bull, and the father of all Brahmen and Brahwomen. Aurox could not father the world on his own however. He had to find a wife among the creatures of the voidâ€¦â€<br/><br/>Mohejere paused and flicked an ear toward the upset male. â€œOh dearâ€¦â€ He spoke of pure power, and the minotaur was certainly glad that he hadnâ€™t aroused that ire.<br/><br/>But he caught the thread of what he was saying once again, â€œThe six daughters of Dirus, unlike their father, had the power to create. But only one among them was good, and she was the most powerful and the most beautiful of all. Aravasti was her name. It was only her that Aurox dreamt of, and only her that he wanted to make the world with him. Aurox tricked the Dire Wolf into leaving his daughters. To Aravasti, to show her his eternal love and dedication, he gave the most beautiful of the old birds, which he named Soam in tribute to her grace, knowledge, and the perfect union they could have.<br/><br/>â€œDirus discovered Auroxâ€™s plan, and ripped the Great Bullâ€™s entrails out with his teeth, slaughtering him before his six daughters as a warning. But Aravasti had already come to love Aurox, because he was a guileless creature and only knew selflessness. To remember him, she created all the world so that they might come to know of him as well. She made the earth from his bones and his innards, the waters from his blood, hung the stars on his horns, and spread his hide as a blanket across all the heavens.<br/><br/>â€œSo we give praise to Aurox, because without him there would be no world.â€
