Your world, like every other, is but a blemish upon its perfect fabric. A truth you would recognize if you looked up at the night sky. You think there is, convince yourselves, but it's all a cruel accident. Stolen away by events beyond your control. Happiness, should you find it, is inevitably lost. Why choose to prolong your suffering? Effort, ambition, love-they amount to naught. When Etheirys became affected, the ancients' governing body sacrificed half of the planet's populace to summon Zodiark to continually agitate the stagnating celestial aether, preventing the Meteia's dynamis from penetrating and affecting the living on the planet's surface, even when Etheirys itself came to be splintered into the Source and its thirteen reflections in the battle between Zodiark and Hydaelyn. The Meteia flew to the edge of the universe to nest, and collected the despair they had found and experienced and used it to stir the dynamis of the universe into motion with their song of oblivion, powerful enough to slowly still the layer of celestial aether that shrouded Etheirys, starting the Final Days. Hermes, similarly torn by the revelation, covered Meteion's escape so she could reconvene with her sisters at the edge of the universe, though Venat managed to cast a tracking spell on her before she escaped the planet's atmosphere. Her individual mind was suppressed as the shared consciousness concluded that existence was suffering and resolved to end all the life in the universe as a mercy. The Meteion by Hermes's side was horrified when she linked to her sisters to compile their findings. The collective suffering and despair of a universe of souls ended up infecting the empathic collective consciousness. The Meteia only found dead worlds or worlds on the verge of collapse, including some they unknowingly destroyed when their empathic abilities affected the denizens of those worlds. She and her identical sisters (collectively referred to as the Meteia) possessed a shared consciousness, with one Meteion remaining by Hermes's side as a terminal and his companion while her sisters were sent out into the universe, riding waves of dynamis to discover other life-bearing stars to ask their denizens the reason for living they had found for themselves, the ultimate purpose for which Hermes had created the Meteia. Meteion was created as an entelechy from the emotion-derived energy known as dynamis rather than of aether, the energy that most life forms are composed of. Meteion was created by Hermes, an ancient residing in Elpis on the planet Etheirys.
