Seeing as this thing hasn't had an update in a while I'm gonna add the second installment of my little religionthing, to be referenced throughout the Dessies world.
(This was mentioned here.)
MEANWHILE.
There is a really life-changingly serious question that needs to be answered here: who is going to die in or at the end of S2? We need MAIN CHARACTERS to kick the bucket, not just a bunch of secondaries - people we care about. It's a tough decision.
We don't need plenty - two or three would be fantastic. I've got ideas as to who would be good choices and so do a few others, but we need to get all the ideas out there in reference to who and when and why, and of course, to have the characters' owners agree.
Give it thought, and fire away.
In the beginning, there was Oe, or “Nothing.” Oe was an ageless thing, terribly old—and terribly lonely. One day, the grief of eternity alone became too much, and he threw all his sadness and pain into one being and turned it into light, and created Lai, “the Beginning.” Lai was beautiful and wise, and the two of them loved each other to unfathomable depths and spent a timeless time together.
Eventually, though, Lai could feel all the life in her bursting to be free of her body. She and Oe had grown lonely once more, even despite each other’s company, but Oe could not create any more life. He had only had enough power for one.
But Lai was full of the life of everything, and she knew it had to be set free. Despite Oe’s pleas to find another way, she exploded and created a thousand stars a thousand times, and a thousand times again. Every star a son or daughter.
Oe desperately tried to save her, but the only thing he could salvage from her body was the first letter of her name, which he took for his own and became Loe, or “the Beginning of Nothing,” or “the End.”
All life is made up of the spirit of Lai. She gave herself so that the world and all that lies beyond the world could be. She resides in every tree trunk, every raindrop, every flame and star and heart. When a thing dies, Loe takes its lifeforce and puts it in “the waiting world,” a paradisiacal land left somewhere deep in unexplored skies by Lai’s exploded body. There the lifeforce lives in bliss until all life in the universe has extinguished, whereupon it will all reunite into Lai. Loe will give the first letter of her name back and become Oe once more, and they will live happily in the paradise of her old, ruined body.
One star, Shale, shone brighter and more beautifully than all the rest. She reminded Loe the most of Lai, and so he placed her in the middle of all her brothers and sisters so he could admire her. But the others grew jealous of Shale and tried to kill her.
To protect her, Loe formed a hard shell of rock and earth around her, where she lived within the hollow center, turned into the form of a woman.
This shell of rock and earth was the planet.

Only one being, Clay, who loved Shale, felt strongly enough for her tragedy to try to aid her. He coaxed Shale into coming out from the center of the planet: he said he would sacrifice his freedom, become “planet-bound” and live in the form of a man if she would live on the surface with him. She agreed, but was reluctant to come out of hiding, so Clay asked his closest brothers, Glinnh and Allix, to protect the planet from the rest of their brethren. The two agreed, but on the condition that they could leave and come back at regular intervals. They became the planet’s moons. (And sometimes they get lazy or forget to come back on time, and this is why sometimes there is only one moon in the night sky, or no moon at all.)
Clay himself vowed to protect the planet during the other half of the time that his brothers would not, and he became the planet’s sun. In the day time, he would fly across the sky, warming the planet and keeping it safe—at night, though, he would land on the ground in human form and be together with Shale.
The planet was bountiful and beautiful, and as the centuries passed, some of the brothers and sisters of the two “planet-bound” began to feel guilty and remorseful for their actions, and envious of the beauty the two were able to enjoy. They pleaded forgiveness and Shale and Clay, being forgiving people, accepted them and let them walk on the planet’s surface. The stars, delighted, shone so bright that their reflections burned in the glass-flat oceans, and out of each reflection, the star’s spirit rose. These spirits became the plants and the animals during the daytime, but Loe, who could not bear to be alone without Lai again, told them that they could only stay on the planet for so long. So, every night at dusk, some of the spirits return to the skies, and some come down from above – then, at dawn, they switch again.
