Space rippled as Kaelthar stepped through reality and into the source of the energy he felt earlier.The multiverse peeled open with almost reluctant grace, revealing a deep, ancient realm hidden beneath layers of concepts and myth. Not a universe, not a timeline — something more secluded and forgotten, like a memory the multiverse itself tried to bury.
A vast ocean stretched beneath him, ink-black and unmoving.Above it hung a sky with no stars, only swirling colors shifting like the slow inhale of a sleeping god.
Kaelthar hovered in the air, scanning the horizon.
Then he felt it.
A presence.Ancient. Heavy. But not hostile.
He turned his head — and saw her.
Tiamat.
Not the monstrous beast whispered of in modern legends, but her true form — the primordial mother of life long before myths watered her down.
She stood barefoot atop the still ocean, the water cradling her feet as though worshiping her touch.
Her appearance was strikingly overwhelming:
A tall, breathtaking woman with skin like polished opal, faintly glowing with blue and violet undertones.Her hair flowed down her back like a river of midnight, streaked with luminous lavender strands that shimmered as though constellations lived inside them.Her horns — curved, elegant, obsidian blue — rose from her head like the crown of an empress.A thin mantle of transparent draconic silk draped over her shoulders, but aside from that… almost nothing covered her.Her figure was sculpted, divine, mature; the embodiment of fertile destruction.Eyes of deep ocean blue watched him with a wisdom far older than any mortal myth dared imagine.
Her gaze sharpened.
"…Guardian of Order."
Kaelthar blinked once."Been a while since anyone called me that."
His dragon nature stirred under his skin, reacting instinctively to the presence of another old power — a feminine, alluring, ancient power. His pupils thinned slightly, the dragon within him rising with interest.
He smirked faintly.
"Oh? You know about me, woman?"
Tiamat did not bristle. If anything, she looked amused by his dragon self slipping through the cracks of his calm.
"We have not met," she said softly, her voice echoing like waves hitting the shore of creation. "But I have seen you."
Kaelthar raised an eyebrow."Seen me?"
"Yes," she said. "A long time ago… before the Root, before this multiverse fully formed."
Kaelthar's expression changed — subtly, but enough.Surprise flickered in his eyes.
Before the Root?
That shouldn't have been possible.
Still, he kept quiet."Explain," he said gently.
Tiamat looked up at the sky, as though searching through memories carved into the bones of her existence.
"In the beginning," she murmured, "I witnessed a war between two beings. One was chaos incarnate… a devourer."
"Vorath," Kaelthar said.
She nodded once.
"And the other was you."
The memory seemed to shake even her.
"The force of your clash…" Her voice trembled slightly. "It threatened to collapse the newborn fabric of the world I resided in. I had never seen anything like it. Even now, I can hardly fathom the power you two wielded."
Kaelthar let silence stretch.
Most beings who witnessed that era were dust or forgotten.The ancient war was so old, even myths were too young to remember it.
For someone to have seen him in that age…
"You're not lying," he murmured, studying her. "And you shouldn't be alive if you were born before the Root."
Her lips curved slightly. "I had help."
Then she said something that made Kaelthar go still.
"I was saved by a presence older than the Root."
Kaelthar's brows furrowed.Very slightly — but for a being like him, that was equivalent to a gasp.
Older than the Root?
That should have been impossible.The Root was built by the Primordials, the First Born — his siblings. Their work was perfect, foundational, the bedrock of countless realities.
For something to predate that…
Kaelthar's eyes narrowed a fraction.
"Older than the Root?" he repeated quietly. "Nothing in this multiverse should fit that description."
Tiamat lowered her gaze. "And yet something did."
Kaelthar fell silent, thoughts moving with the speed of collapsing stars.
(Older than the Root…? Who could've managed that?)
Only a few could.
His siblings?Dead. Their essences shattered and drifting as fragments across creation.
Unless… one fragment temporarily regained coherence?
Or maybe—
(A friend…)
One of the few beings who stood beside him before existence fully blossomed.He thought them gone, erased in the Collapse of the First Cosmos.
(Could it be one of them…?)
He reached inward, letting omniscience flood through him like a tidal wave.
Past.Future.Unborn timelines.The empty spaces between realities.The first sparks of creation.
He searched—
And found nothing.
A perfect blank.A deliberate cut in the fabric of information.Like someone had placed a veil over the truth itself.
Even his omniscience could not pierce it.
His jaw flexed.
(Someone hid their involvement… from me?)
Annoying.But also… fascinating.
"Troubling you?" Tiamat asked softly, sensing the ripple in him.
Kaelthar let out a quiet breath."Nothing you caused. I'm just… reminded that existence still has a few tricks left."
He closed his omniscience and folded it away.
(If it was one of my siblings… why here? Why her?)(And if it was a friend… why hide from me?)(Or is it someone — something — I've forgotten?)
Curiosity crept into his chest.A rare feeling.
He looked back at Tiamat.
"So. You survived that war. Saw me fighting Vorath. And you're still standing."He tilted his head slightly. "Impressive."
Tiamat smiled faintly."Only because something far stronger than me saved me. But yes… I remember that war. And I remember you."
Kaelthar's voice lowered.
"That war was the night before creation. I didn't think anyone who witnessed it would still exist."
His gaze softened just a little.
"…Yet here you are."
The silence between them carried centuries of weight.
Kaelthar finally spoke again.
"You're full of surprises, woman."
Tiamat met his gaze steadily.
"As are you… Guardian of Order."
