It is said that back in the ancient times, the world is "normal".
The humans do not have a "gift."
Mundane things are manually done by hand. Then humans experimented and invented things. The gods are fascinated by it. So curious about their reactions and the way they are given "free will" by one of the gods who created them. "They are so fun to live with" said the cheerful god. And then younger gods, descended in the world. They played with them, they drink with them, they ate with them and lastly fell in love with humanity. So much so that they had children with them. And these children had gotten "gifts" from their parents.
But not every gods liked humanity. Envy within the divinities circulated. They wanted to create a different version of "humans" too. A far superior and stronger. So they did. Some gods created these "better humans" in their likelihood. Someone they envisioned that should rule and had pure Arcanum in their blood than the "first humans" who had half divinity.
But as soon as they are made – it does not resemble the first humans at all. In fact, they look like half of these humans and half of the animals they mostly seen when observing the world. And that is there first mistake. The second one, is giving them gifts. The problem is that, the gods made them without the emotions the first humans had. So they do what they like. They murdered people in cold blood. They do not care about the world burning.
To minimize the damaged that had been done, some gods bestowed their gifts to humans, even though they are not half divinity themselves. And so – them came the power of Arcanum that is within us.
Are you still listening, Selene?
Yes… a bit? But what are these… Creators, something hancers, menipulators? Something elements? I want to know where I gotten this strange "gift", Mom.
I'll be telling you that in another story. Sleep well my dear.
