「 PANYA'S ✿ BIRTH 」████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
✿ █ ... 》 From the beginning there was only her, the sleeping pup in the sky, whose skin danced with the patterns of her dreams and her fur came in the color of the world. She dreamed of forests, grasslands, oceans, rivers, mountains and deserts, all manner of land and water that built itself in her sleep. When she awoke, there was an empty world with her as the only living creature. She named herself Panya, and wished for a world with life. From there, she worked to build the animals, from the smallest insect to the creatures that became our predators. Finally, she craved company from others like her, so she wished to give life from herself, so that they would be in her image.
From this fatherless birth came the goddess Lilla, who embodied the love Panya had for all creatures she had made. And then with her paws she made the other children who became gods and goddesses, and when she was done, she gave her power of life crafting to her first daughter, who created the mortal mice and rats, and eventually her own children. Now, Panya was tired, but she wanted to be able to watch over her children always, so she pulled out her eyes and placed them in the sky overhead, one for the daytime, and one for the nighttime, always watching her beloved children and protecting them.

「 SJETA'S ✿ HEARTBREAK 」████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
✿ █ ... 》Long, long ago, when the gods were new and young, the seasons were much more predictable than they are now. The god of summer and the goddess of winter were in love, and shared the year equally between them, for six months of beautiful, bountiful summer and six months of cool, quiet winter for the world to regenerate in. The two gods were wed in a grand event, and peace was known.
Sjeta loved Vidan with all her heart, and they were blessed with two divine children, both girls. Lieda was given three months from summer, and her sister Dinja was given three from winter. The two new goddesses created their own seasons - Fall and Spring, and the four were a happy family, with simple transitions between their seasons, and mortal mice and rats were pleased with the weather.
However, Vidan's love was not as wholly given, and he was known to love mortal mice as well, and Sjeta did not approve of his dalliances, and was hurt by him. She would go to Lilla for guidance, and beg her children to ask him to stop, but nothing she did would stop her fickle lover from straying.
Eventually Vidan came to Sjeta one fall, and told her he no longer loved her as he once did, and believed they would be better as just partners for the seasons. He wanted to end their union and be free to love others without her.
"Who else is there to love but me? We were built from the same mold, me and you and all our divine siblings, who are children of our mother Panya. Who is it that you would love?" Sjeta asked of him, for she could not understand what could have changed to make him no longer love her.
Vidan had no answer that could please the winter goddess, and he said only: "There will always be others to love. For you as well as me." And he left Sjeta alone in her grief.
Sjeta, who had always made the winter gentle, her snow a blanket on a sleeping world, her chill a simple breeze... she changed her winter to a harsh and cruel one, to match her feelings. Snow became sharp as needles, cutting down the trees and crushing homes beneath its weight. Colder and colder still became the world, freezing all water and putting out each and every fire she saw.
She sent her wolves out to guard the world and put an end to any who would stop her winter and try to beg Vidan to bring back summer or give him offerings. She had no taste for her old offerings of wine and milk, and demanded true sacrifice and death to please her. Blood became her wine and bone became her milk, and she would be left alone until she decided she was done grieving.
It took a hundred years before any was brave enough to try to talk to the maddened goddess. Lilla sent silver-tongued Dinja to talk to her mother, and beg for an end of the winter and the wasteland it has created in the mortal world.
"Sjeta is hurting my families and my children, and so you, as her child and family must speak with her. Bring your young spring and lead your mother away from the mortal world so that we may do our duties again," Lilla said to her, pushing the young goddess to speak to Sjeta.
"Mother, it is time for spring to touch the world," Dinja said gently. "We are all mad at Father for leaving you, but you cannot stay here and destroy the world any longer. Lieda and I do not want to see you hurt anymore... we shall lead you to a place where you can keep your winter without hurting the mortals."
Sjeta would not speak, but she allowed her daughter to take her paw and lead her to the north, where few lived and her wintery snows would not harm anyone. Temples were erected for her, and the mortals accepted her new terms of offerings, and gave her the blood and bone she desired to appease her anger.
The more Sjeta was cared for and given offerings, the further she stayed from the south, and the longer she allowed summer to thrive. So long as she was given her sacrifices, the bitter goddess kept her misfortune from the mortals...
But she kept firm that she would not speak to Vidan, and allow only her children to change the seasons, and work as a buffer between them so that she would never need to see the fickle god who could find no one to love longer than a season.
