Passages from the Holy Book of Dawn.
Chapter 1:
From JRMN came first thought. And This Lord, who serves his LORD he knows not in Beyond, came to observe the sand and the blank. The thought spoke words, commanding forth: 'This scroll of Fate and Law decrees for life. And thus, life was allowed.'
There was cold nothing, but nothing to shelter from the cold, so thus, This Lord allowed Winter to flourish and wither.
There was warmth and heat, but no heart or drums, so thus, This Lord allowed Summer to flourish and wither.
There was a bone, not of life, tasted of stone, not of food or soil, so thus, This Lord allowed Spring to flourish and wither.
There was void-sea, but nothing swam in it, no wind to blow, so thus, This Lord allowed Autumn to live and mourn.
All four would come forth at the same time. To shape the worlds and their heavens by Law of DSTN and Dream of JRMN.
…
Chapter 37:
Winter had a moon, larger and beautiful. Its crystal light could light up all corners of this Dream, brighter than Remnant and its brothers and sisters. And for that, Summer grew jealous of that beauty. 'For why is Winter allowed to be the keeper of the end?' Summer asked, wanting to know what is to come.
'Why is Winter to hold heavens together, keeping us from leaving and knowing what is to come? If it is in her nature to guard, then it is in my nature to know. I must know, so that I may serve This Lord more faithfully.' From this, Summer hatched a scheme to steal that brightest moon of Winter's cold.
Now by decree, the stealing of another was outlawed and immoral. So Summer will have to trick This Lord and his sister's Law. She came before This Lord and argued, 'if the Law is good, we Seasons must be free to shift as we are pleased until everything is ordered.' Winter called this a cosmic sin, yet one that was allowed for this holy dance of art, for it is said that by wisdom will one learn what mystery This Lord's will must be, what This Lord allows won't be like that of what we, who know nothing, would allow.
Summer was good and god. And allowed the stealing of this bright crystal moon. Plucked from the sky as the rage of the Winter sky furied with passion for This Lord and the Law.
This Lord saw beforehand that Summer will not commit grief against the Law, but he knew still there was justice to carry out for the sake of Winter. So from one of Summer's servants came an illusionist called Zoz.
This Zoz had gifts of Summer, also holding a green fire that saw glimpses beyond the moon. Greedy and hungry, wanting knowledge water from its well, Zoz leaped over mountains, jumping high, he pocketed the moon, and placed it inside his eyes. Now blessed with Summer's magical sunlight for them to glimpse things beyond.
Furious, Winter came after them. But she knew well that This Lord had already declared Summer sinless from breaking any Law. Thus so, the only way for Winter's wind to blow back for vengeance was upon Zoz himself. And there, cast down into the earth, Winter declared: 'May you never taste the whole fruit of Summer again, and only the scraps from the withering softening core. May you see things as predicted but be subjugated by cosmic Law. May you rule over nothing but fallen towns and palaces, to never know the fruits of kingdoms or empires, only to be known in name, this is the curse for you. Begone.'
As it was decreed, Zoz was tossed down, to be named something else, having scraps of divinity but no longer fully divine.
Thus, justice was done. Those who are wise in the way of the Law, study this case and learn the difficult wisdom of This Lord's decree. Learn why things were thus as it is written, and why Summer was sinless, why the punishment of this servant was adequate justice for Winter. You will not understand this until the day you return Dreaming and ask This Lord. But study it, and contemplate the difficult wisdom of the Law.

Chapter 107:
So thus, this was the heavenly mission of Auric the Lionshana. From him where rivers of Aura flowed from; the rivers of life. Hailed and served by This Lord as the one true Son of his LORD from the Beyond. Here to deliver the people from mortal sin that separated them from true Virtues of Eden. The LORD in mortal flesh, as JRMN would then praise unto.
Possessing Virtues of all four Seasons, immaculately birthed through their spirit, but truthly descended from LORD Beyond. There the songs of fire, ice, earth, wind echoed to praise the Son. Prophesied to sacrifice himself under the sins of those who knew not of the Law.
Now these were the names of the eight disciples of Auric. Four men and four women to serve the teachings of Auric who taught of the power of the Seasons. Red, Blue, Mandi, Steel, Angel, Iro, Maro, Sama. All loyal disciplic Giants, followers of the Golden King Auric, Lionshana.
…
Chapter 117:
Red came to her King Auric, upon a mountain looking down. There overlooking the island to the south, Auric taught the importance of temptation of power. Those with greatness like the disciples will be lured into using them without just. For the wise and strong knew well of boundaries and the Law, restraint and DSTN.
'You have done great unto the name of good," Auric said to Red. 'If you will follow me into worlds Beyond, then there is still much to do.'
'Yes, LORD. Where you go, I will follow.'
'In these specks your form is such so that the sinful people can understand. But my Father will use any who are willing for the purpose of divinity. You have done your duty in these specks. So now another shall take your place. But your color here must rest. Be at peace, for you have sacrificed as in my image. Follow me elsewhere, let yourself here be lifeful, but yourself that which is with me to follow me.'
And so, Red obeyed. Returning to the farm, forevermore. Knowing in other specks she would be something else, but still the same.
…
Chapter 121:
Betraying the Son, Mandi came handing Auric over to the Oniyurian government, for the sake of the silver he pocketed. Brought before the Accuser, King Mazon. Held before a court, Mazon asked: 'Are you of man or of Faunus?'
To which Auric simply replied: 'I am of my Father, and my Father of me. And my Father made you all in His image, LORD. All are in service of Him, even the Seasons and This Lord.'
Seeing what he saw as a blasphemer, Mazon ordered an executioner to beat King Auric, before sharpening a blade himself to cut off his lion's tail. Throughout it all, he bled, bruised by lashes, clubs, spit, and alcohol, but he remained firm, strong and humble.
'Call Angel to your side,' said Mazon, 'if you truly are the Savior, then call your servant, that loyal Angel to your side and heal your blood. Where is your army, O' great King?'
And to this, Auric responded: 'If I will it, Angel alone would be enough to consecrate these grounds to make you all infertile from the breath of life. If I will it, Iro would bring forth metal from the ground and wage burning wrath on those who dare touch their blades. If I will it, Steel would recite words of dominion and change your souls into stones. Maro, Sama, Red, Blue, they too knew how you would rue the day you blasphemed the name of my Father using his servants in the Law and Dream, using the servant's servants in those four as you see fit. Blessed are those who know the words of heavens, and who know restraint as the true wisdom of true strength.'
Furious, Mazon ordered the guards to take Auric away, for him to be beaten and executed during the day. To make sure the innocent babes of Oniyuri could witness the blood of their King.

Chapter 137:
And thus, the monks of Vale calculated from dusk till dawn that day. Understanding the decree from This Lord JRMN that the birth of Auric shall be christened as year 0, with all the years before to be labeled 'BA' and all the years after to be labeled 'AA.' Stepping into a new age to begin anew, awaiting the day of Divine Returning.
…
In the year 3335 AA, the Atlesian Superman invaded the heart of the Valley, the God King escaped into hiding, Vale would fall.
