In the vast expanse of The Sea of Existence, a place where all worlds, realms, and realities coexist, there existed a pre-existential entity who embodies Development the force that drives progress, stagnation, and regression across time. Known as The Curious One, this being transcends time, space, and form. He is a living concept, a pre-existential entity who seeks to understand, grow, and explore the mysteries of existence.
The Curious One exists before existence itself, an eternal being who was never created but has always been. He is the embodiment of Development, the force that shapes all things, evolving through the cycles of progress and change. In the timeless void before existence, he encountered his siblings, the other pre-existential entities, each of whom represented different facets of reality. He learned from them, understanding their roles in the grand design of existence.
Among his siblings are Ayin, the pre-existential entity of Non-Existence, who governs the absence and darkness of all things, and Yahweh, the God of Existence, the entity of life and creation. Barbelo, the all-loving mother, and Azathoth, the chaotic twin of The Curious One, embody different aspects of creation, destruction, and madness.
As The Curious One met each of his siblings, he sought knowledge from them learning the true nature of existence, death, time, and the forces that would shape reality. While Yahweh and Ayin created the fundamental aspects of the universe, it was The Curious One who sought to understand them, to experience them in their fullness. He was a being who was forever changing and learning, embodying the force of Development as he explored the inner workings of existence and the infinite realms.
The worlds of existence, each separated and isolated like novels and movies in a vast library, piqued his curiosity. He wanted to see more, to feel more, and to experience the diversity of life. In his boredom, he decided to create an incarnation for himself, one who could explore the endless possibilities within these worlds. This incarnation would awaken as a child in one of these realms, allowing The Curious One to experience life, growth, and power firsthand.
This is the story of The Curious One, who chose to experience one of these worlds, learning from the entities and powers around him, and finding his place within the grand design of the Sea of Existence.
Asher P'hnx Von Aether was born into a world of luxury, privilege, and love. The Von Aether family, one of the most powerful and respected aristocratic houses in the kingdom, had always been known for their wisdom, strength, and unwavering unity.
Asher's parents, Lord Aether and Lady Aether, were leaders who balanced power with compassion. Their love for Asher knew no bounds, and they believed in nurturing their children with the freedom to choose their own paths. They did not force their expectations on him, understanding that his future was his own to shape.
Asher was not alone in the family. He had twin sisters, each unique but bound by their shared lineage. Together, they formed a powerful and harmonious unit, often assisting one another in various roles within the family. While his sisters took to their training with enthusiasm, Asher's mind was ever curious, seeking answers beyond the walls of their grand estate.
Despite the wealth and expectations that came with his name, Asher never felt pressured. His parents encouraged him to explore, to grow, and to discover his own place in the world. Whether he chose to inherit the family's noble duties or follow his own path, they would support him wholeheartedly. They recognized the spark of potential in Asher, the curiosity that set him apart from the others, and they embraced it with love and encouragement.
Asher's bond with his twin sisters was strong. They played and trained together, but Asher was different. While they focused on fulfilling their duties as noble heirs, Asher dreamed of something more, something beyond his family's realm. His sisters often teased him about his endless daydreaming, calling him the most likely to become a scholar, a sage or even an explorer but they respected his aspirations and quiet determination.
His parents, seeing his growing curiosity and understanding of the world, never pushed him into any particular role. They trusted that whatever path he chose, it would be the right one for him. They loved him not for the title he might one day hold but for the person he was becoming.
At the age of seven, everything began to change. Asher felt the stirrings of memories fragments of a life beyond his noble one. The memories of his true nature, of the Curious One, came flooding back, and he began to understand the deeper mysteries of existence, development, and the flow of time. Despite this newfound awareness, Asher's heart was still filled with love for his family. The support of his parents and the companionship of his sisters grounded him as he embraced his awakening. No matter where his journey led him, he knew they would always be there guiding and loving him as he stepped into his true potential.
