Once, in the dawn of time, when the world was but a swirling canvas of raw creation, there existed a realm beyond the reaches of mortal sight and comprehension. This ethereal domain was known as Lumina, the celestial cradle where the cosmic forces danced in an eternal symphony. Lumina was ruled by the divine and mysterious beings known as the Luminari, who embodied the essence of creation itself.

Among the Luminari, there was one called Althea, the Keeper of Dreams. Althea was a radiant and gentle presence, with eyes that sparkled like stars and a heart that overflowed with compassion. She was responsible for weaving the dreams of all living beings, shaping the tapestry of their hopes and aspirations as they slumbered in the mortal realm.

Althea cherished her task dearly, for she believed that dreams held the key to unlocking the potential of life. In every dream, she saw fragments of untold destinies and possibilities, waiting to be fulfilled by those who dared to reach for the stars.

Yet, amidst the beauty of her work, a seed of longing had sprouted within Althea's heart. The dreams she weaved were meant for others, and she wondered what it would be like to have a dream of her own, one that belonged solely to her. She pondered whether the Luminari themselves could experience such personal dreams, for they were bound by their sacred duty to maintain the harmony of the cosmos.

One fateful eve, when the veils between Lumina and the mortal realm were thin, Althea wandered closer to the boundary. As she gazed down upon the world below, she saw the tapestry of dreams unfurl before her like an infinite web of shimmering threads. In that moment, a bold and daring idea bloomed within her heart – she would create a dream that would forever alter the course of existence.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Althea summoned stardust from the heavens and wove her dream into its very fabric. She poured her heart and soul into this dream, infusing it with all the love and wonder she had ever known. The dream swirled and coalesced until it took the form of a radiant, celestial orb.

The moment Althea beheld her creation, she knew that this dream was unlike any other. It was alive with the promise of endless potential and untold journeys, a dream that held within it the essence of a new existence. She decided to call it "Eterna," for it would forever endure as a testament to her boundless aspirations.

Eterna, cradled in Althea's gentle embrace, glowed with a captivating light. As Althea stared at her creation, she knew that for it to take root in the mortal realm, she would have to relinquish it. With a heavy heart and a bittersweet smile, she kissed Eterna and released it into the swirling currents of creation.

Eterna descended from Lumina, hurtling through the cosmic expanse until it reached the mortal realm. There, it burst forth in a dazzling display of radiance, illuminating the night sky like a beacon of hope. This celestial event became known as the "Eternal Dawn," and it marked the beginning of a new era for all living beings.

From Eterna's descent, the world bloomed with life and diversity. It sparked the birth of stars and planets, the rise of oceans and mountains, and the emergence of countless creatures, each carrying a fragment of Eterna's dream within their hearts. It became the source of inspiration for poets, artists, and dreamers, infusing their works with a touch of celestial magic.

And so, Eterna's dream weaved itself into the very fabric of existence, guiding the destinies of countless souls who sought to fulfill its luminous vision. From that day forth, dreams became not only a source of inspiration but also a testament to the eternal bond between Lumina and the mortal realm.

As for Althea, her sacrifice did not go unnoticed. The other Luminari saw the depth of her love and dedication, and in their benevolence, they granted her a unique gift. Althea would forever remain connected to Eterna, and every dream that blossomed in the mortal realm would carry a trace of her presence.

And so, the myth of Eterna and the Eternal Dawn became an enduring tale passed down through generations, reminding all who heard it of the profound power of dreams and the enduring connection between the ethereal and mortal realms.
