Legend has it that the
first of oceans had a composition similar to that of blood, and that life within it was not individual. To set foot upon land or take to the skies, life evolved blood vessels to keep that primordial ocean flowing within itself. The beating heart that commanded this primordial sea of blood was the first
Hydro Dragon. Each time that heart pulsed, all life would arise and give it praise.
Of course, these are simply tales that the
Hydro Vishaps tell each other, and are not to be trusted. Perhaps this tale is told differently amongst other vishaps, and the stories passed down between
Oceanids speak of what came after:
When that first heart was removed, the
envoy of
Celestia, the leader upon whose shoulders lay the duty to create life, came to the great primeval sea, and there she created
another heart. That heart had like nobility unto a dragon, but lacked its outer form, and had the majesty of a god, yet was bereft any divine duty. And though it was created by a ruler of humans, its substance and essence were all original matter from this world, entirely without outside elements.
