She called upon the Great Prophet Giovanni of the Humans to command a mass exodus to the region of Lakia. Filled with remorse, she realized that there was no hope for the Zereca, a race created in anger, and that she must somehow shield the Humans from impending doom. She watched, horrified, as the Zereca ran bloodthirsty with power, bringing the Humans close to extinction and forcing them to hide in fear. The Retreat to the Sky - Aika grew weary from her many efforts to devise a faultless world. The Goddess released the Zereca upon Arcan. She desperately imbued her third creation with fragments of her own limitless essence - the better to overpower those whom they were destined to preserve or condemn. It was in this unhappy state that she conceived the Zereca, a race of arbiters to act as judge, jury, and executioner for the Humans.
Arcan, her first and most precious creation, was quickly becoming overrun by Humankind's hatred and destruction.Īngered and embittered by the Humans' excesses, Aika vowed to create a race which would cleanse the land of its defilement.
Human civilization thrived, but soon Aika learned that her second creation was also flawed. She set out to correct her error in the genesis of the Humans, a race whose inherent balance of good and evil would inspire the meaningful struggle which the Scinic had so sorely missed in their peaceful lives. Aika, in her wisdom, recognized that she had failed in her first attempt to create the perfect creatures to live in harmony on the world she had brought out of nothingness.
