Astra

Key word-

Astra- Book of history, law, word, and of Holiness.

Founded June 3rd

In the beginning

Astra 1. A

In the humble beginning, there was a turtle. To the space around him he was known as Vastra-Cal-Kruz. He never questioned how he came to be for he knew that he had always been there. And on his back was a shell that held many matter in it. Since there was no time the turtle never grew old. But his shell grew bigger. The turtle never moved for fear that the shell would break off and the matter could no longer be carried.

Astra 1. B

Then one day the turtle looked in to what he would call his soul. His soul was burning essence of energy ready to give life to all that was around him. This sadden the turtle for he was very lonely and with this the turtle begun to think what this was. So he coined the term emotion, used to describe his fear and loneliness. He wanted more emotion and wanted interaction and wanted this space around him to be filled.

Astra 1. C

The turtle then took a single step and with that step his shell broke, releasing matter and energy of the likes that lit up the space around the turtle. This matter lit up a section of space that would come to be known as the turtle corner, an astronomical planes named after the great turtle god.

Astra 1. D

“Hope arisen from the bleak dark space, and thy light from within released upon these fields to create scenery that I couldn’t have imagined in all of my existence: Fire.”

Astra 1. E

For the light was indeed fire from a trillions of sparks all around the turtle that lit up in a dance that would last for millions of years until the sparks cooled in to solid ground, communities of what would be known as stars, and even created a hole in the fabric of time so that darkness may have a realm to rule. All of this overwhelms the turtle and he knew that with all of this intelligent design going on, there might be hope for others such as himself to exist to help maintain the wild space and wild unraveling order that was set forth by the turtle’s big bang.

Astra 1. F

“To those in the darkness: Yell at me from your distance and halt all whispering for my ears will better adapt to a sound that would echo across the far reaching of all that my eyes can see.:

Astra 1. G

The turtle took yet another step that would continue to carry him on a journey that he started with his first step. As the turtle’s steps carried him across the planes, the turtle realized that his skin was fading from roughness to that of wrinkles and lost in shine. The turtle disliked this but at the same time adored this for his wisdom grew. He called this phenomenon “time”.

Astra 1. H

As the journey continued, the turtle noticed a shimmering light coming from the end of the darkness that he ventured in to many years ago after his shell exploded with the light of a thousand stars. The turtle then found himself on solid ground, in a terrestrial planes, above millions of stars, rocks, and celestial bodies.

He looked up and saw the throne of a magnificent being. This was Tera.

Astra 1. I

“Look upon me, ye old and of wisdom. For your journey has brought you to the king of time, and with this achievement you may stroke my beard.”

Astra 1. J

Tera did not look like the turtle at all. Tera looked of a color that the turtle recognized as blue, his eyes were wide like the a star, upon his head sat a golden crown covered in galaxies instead of gems. Tera bestowed many wisdoms to the turtle and bestowed upon him the quest of creating life in his corner of what Tera called “The universe” and Tera then said

Astra 1. K

“Be my sword and shield and settler of life in the northern quadroon. You do this for me, thy souls, thy life, their lives, thy history, their history, shall prosper with many a good things that after your soul transcends to an even greater planes than of these, you would have already of been there through the word of others that have past long before you had.”

Astra 1. L

The turtle did this. He picked a perfect spot in the far regions of the turtles realms and created a single star. He called it the sun. And then he took many rocks and forged together a sphere of fire. And this fire grew wild and went on for millions of years, spinning, weaving the perfect formula for life. He placed this rock of fire at the correct distance from the sun. He watched as it all came together. He watched as the rock became bombarded with many other rocks, the turtle would call asteroids and those that went near the sun would catch a tail so he called them a comet, and these would fill the vast space just as many other stars would fill the space millions of miles away from his hopeful rock-ball of fire.

Astra 1. M

A cloud then reached out it’s hand and stopped the ball till it reached a moderate speed, and then fused with the ball. The fire then went within the ball and created a core that magnetically controlled this rock. All was ready. The turtle was growing old, and with each passing year, he grew more knowledge to bestow upon the future life. He called this rock a planet. He called the cloud atmosphere. He then had an image in his mind that he decided to make a reality. He called it water. He loved its waves and watched as it covered the world he created. He hoped that one day life would begin there.

Astra 1. N

Life begun. The turtle was pleased. The turtle returned to Tera to inform him of this milestone.

Astra 1. O

“I bring to you life, moderate life, early life, 1/trillionth the size of us and probably smaller. I call them germs. But their name years from now will be known as human and together: human kind. “

Astra 1. Q

“You have pleased the Gods today o great turtle! Let the heavens rejoice and sing out praises to your great act of humility to this planes. Now, leave them be, and watch them prosper for they, the germs soon to be humans, soon to be plants, soon to be animals, soon to be even greater life, will praise you in due time when the knowledge of an even greater being then themselves exist.”

Astra 1. R

“Go to the heavens now and relief yourself of this world for you will now be greeted by Gods of another world. As I am the God of this planes, even greater immortal Gods lay above this one. Go to them and be merry for eternity.”

Astra 1. S

The turtle left to the greater planes as the life he gave begun to evolve. He was proud of his work now and awaited for at along last happiness in the eternal sun and paradise among the stars, heavenly, oh heavenly, give thee a great honor and ceremony, for to him, he knows all was done well and of most deserving he is of this occasion.

Astra 1. T

As the gates opened up, a throne was prepared by thousands of glowing orbs. These orbs had no other identity then of this. But they would soon. And straight ahead of the gates was a citadel. And in it a hallway that leads to a grand area with a golden table, above many thrones for the many gods that ruled all of the planes. The turtle was humbled to find that the throne recently made was prepared for him. A tear shedding across the turtle’s eyes and fell past the clouds to the world he created. With this tear, the oceans opened up and created land.

Astra 1. U

This land would become fruitful. Plants, animals, running streams, lakes, trees, beautiful images that one must take in and process for the beauty of itself is far too great for even the conscious of one to understand. As the turtle laid on his throne, he saw all of this and joy over ran him. The other gods were of envy but praised the great turtle of his contribution to the greatness of life.

Astra 1. V

Time had gone by and the world grew with each passing second. It was no longer recognizable by the turtle. The germs had grown in to fish. The fish had grown in to a whale. The whale decreased in size and became a small dinosaur. The dinosaur at it’s height of power, ruled over all the land. Then the dinosaur grew hair and reduced in size. Then the hairy animal, known as the ape, became intelligent. It used stones as weapons and began to hunt prey in packs.

Astra 1. W

Soon the apes lost their hair. Their intelligence grew though. They began to migrate all and habit all the lands. The hunts would be great. Even as the world froze, and ice laid everywhere, the hunt would continue. The packs grew. Soon these communities started to settle in lands. These settlements became villages and tribalism grew. Soon enough, the lands began to populate with these villages.

Astra 1. X

“Beauty in the mind can lead to beauty in reality. I am happy with my creations: to toast my accomplishments, to toast my well being, and begin another chapter in my world’s history. In this, all things are fair,”

Astra 1. Y

Villages soon enough begin to trade with each other. As with interaction and trade, also came war. And war had always existed, even before village life. Packs always fought with one another. With villages came even more war and fighting. So, the people bowed down and invested power in to one man and he would become known as the leader of these villages. This is known as despotism and the villages came together to form a civilization to be lead by this man.

Astra 1. Z

Now that civilization has been born, the turtle has his scribes create another chapter in the history of his world. With the design of free will, anything can happen and the turtle knew of this. In the fore coming events, the turtle laid preparation for his visit to this world. His visit would spark what would be known as enlightenment, visionary, ideology, and religion. His visit would not spawn one religion but many. His visit would impact the history of his world forever.
