Oraterra was not a goddess. Not a being.

  It did not speak.

  Did not walk.

  Did not take form—

  And yet, it lived.

  A world with awareness. A memory that did not fade. An ecosystem where every mountain, every root, every river remembered all that had ever touched it.

  This was the world of the Beasts—creatures of will, each desiring its own dominion.

  From their opposing desires, two forces emerged—twin powers that upheld the balance of Oraterra.

  Two ancient currents that shaped its soul.

  The oldest consciousness—older than language itself—knew them by their primordial names:

  Ter’na — The Pulse of the Land

  The steady rhythm of earth, embodied by those bound to soil and stone.

  Kaivyr — The Breath of the Sky

  The wind of fate in motion, carried by those who moved with air and change.

  Together, these two forces were not enemies. They were rivals in an eternal dance.

  And when they moved in harmony—

  The world sang.

  From the ribs of the First Being ever formed upon Oraterra,

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  Ter’na and Kaivyr shaped the turning of seasons.

  Bone became calendar.

  Breath became cycle.

  Instinct became law.

  Thus were born three sacred seasons—

  each bound to the primal marrow of the Beasts of Oraterra.

  Season Veralis — The Season of Growth and Spirit

  Duration: Months 1–7 (The True Ribs — symbols of protection and life’s guarded core)

  Veralis is the season of awakening. Sap rises. Rivers swell. Spirits stir.

  It is a time of inner harmony, of resonance between flesh and unseen currents.

  Many call it:

  “The Time When Oraterra Whispers.”

  During Veralis, purification rites are performed beneath open skies.

  Soul-festivals blaze with lanternlight.

  The boundary between instinct and spirit feels thin—yet gentle.

  Children born in Veralis are believed to bear the Soulmark—

  an innate affinity for spiritcraft, sensing, and the subtle flow of arcane breath.

  They are said to hear what others overlook.

  Season Cindros — The Season of Fire and Fracture

  Duration: Months 8–10 (The False Ribs — supported by strength, yet fragile under strain)

  Cindros arrives like a spark in dry grass.

  The skies burn copper.

  The winds grow sharp.

  Peace fractures.

  This is the season when primal instinct surges to its peak among the Beasts of Oraterra.

  Wars ignite.

  Ambitions flare.

  Old grudges awaken like embers stirred by claw.

  It is known as:

  “The Season When the Teeth of the Earth Grind.”

  Children born beneath Cindros are said to carry coal-blood—fierce, unyielding, passionate.

  They are drawn toward battle, toward conquest, toward the heat of becoming.

  Season Nareth — The Season of Wither and Reflection

  Duration: Months 11–12 (The Floating Ribs — untethered, fragile, yet free)

  Nareth is a season of thinning light.

  Crops bow their heads.

  Leaves loosen their grip.

  An endless mist settles across valleys and forgotten plains.

  Decay does not arrive as cruelty—but as necessity.

  It is often called:

  “The Season of the Last Step.”

  For many creatures pass during Nareth.

  Not by violence.

  Not by wrath.

  But because the world is cleansing itself.

  Children born in this season are said to breathe between two worlds—

  their spirits walking close to the unseen,

  their flesh lightly tethered to the living realm.

  Ter’na anchors.

  Kaivyr unsettles.

  And through rib and marrow, through flame and mist,

  their dance continues—

  Turning bone into time.

  Turning instinct into destiny.

  And this story begins—With the birth of a kitten.
