Исса | Issa

NOTE: Alazavirra is my original fantasy world with its story and characters. i develop it in russian. everything i post regarding it in english is rather abridged and not perfectly translated, as it is for fun and practicing my english.

Issa was the first deity to ever take a material form to better understand azavirra (read: living beings). In doing so, she mimicked those around her: the shape resembling that of an avir (read: human) with horns and a tail similar to the ones a zav (read: animal) has and the blooms and leaves resembling azza (read: plants) on the hem of her dress. Those who witnessed her in person claim that her hair has a texture that no avir has ever touched before. Flying zavva, when they were still able to communicate with avirra on the same level in the beginning of the time, explained that this is what the clouds of the endless white skies feel like.

Having great interest in the living beings scattered aimlessly across the dunes of the Sands of Time, Issa was always around them. It was her who first understood that these dunes were not the place where these creatures could thrive - not with the blood coursing through their sandy bodies, not with the sparks of consciousness that Issa lighted in them. And so she led them all to the place of her own creation, still made out of sands, but imbued with her own power. As the beings followed her the sands crumbled under them and thus the Sands of Time began their flow.

Issa brought time and new lands to the living beings and was now known as the ever caring maternal deity of everyone and everything, the goddess of time and history. The longer azavirra lived in these new lands, the less they could understand the primordial language that didn't require words or sounds. Thus, they created a new language which was suitable for their material forms and reflected their thoughts. As much space Issa occupied in the thoughts and hearts of azavirra, as many words in this language referred to her.

As the first mentor, Issa is a maternal figure to the entire world. She also imbued the Sands of Time with her own powers, bringing new matter and materia into the world, hence why the new lands were now called materics (=continents. i develop this setting in russian language and sadly there is no english equivalent to материк, which literally translates as continent, yet has this "mater" root in it, so i guess i'm just improvising with english using some latin roots at this point).

The first such materic bestowed by Issa to azavirra was named by them as Alasseia. "Al" (from russian adjective алый-alyi translating as blood-red/crimson/scarlet) refers to the blood in the River of Life, which followed azavirra out of the dunes of the Sands of Time into the new lands. "sse" part of the name refers to Issa, by using the same sounds as in her name. The name Alasseia literally means "the materic created by Issa where the River of Life flows".

Using the sounds of Issa's name created many words associated with her as the goddess of time and beginnings, as well as the development of society and culture: исток & источник (source/rise), исход (outcome, result), история (history, story), истина (truth), искусство (skill/art/craft), etc. (once again, very hard to adapt this into english. in russian there is a prefix ис- (is-) which can be found in a lot of words)

Issa, albeit not being the creator of this world, is a crucial figure in its development. She is the first deity to ever care for azavirra to such an extent, and, even though later new deities will appear, none of them will ever come close to the place Issa occupies in minds and hearts of everything and everyone in this world.

She is the most caring and forgiving figure, yet she is also a deity which witnessed and still remembers what the world was like before the time began its flow. She remembers all the births and lifes she witnessed, she remembers all the deaths. She remembers each and every azavir she nurtured, and she remembers their misdeeds. Just because she forgives does not mean she forgets.

first time drawing and coloring a tail - very happy how it turned out :)!

the top part of the dress designed is inspired by my friend's art of Issa for my birthday 🤍

experimenting with the signature btw :)

i'm open for questions, comments and discussions regarding my original world, story and characters :) thanks for reading this!

black & white version of this post

regarding my last three posts (i intended them to be ONE?? ok girl give us nothing)

[gdlavzo]

NOTE: Alazavirra is my original fantasy world with its story and characters. i develop it in russian. everything i post regarding it in english is rather abridged and not perfectly translated, as it is for fun and practicing my english.

Before this world was named Alazavirra, or even Alasseia, before the time and life began flowing, there was nothing but a void. A void and its creator, who will be later known under many names so different yet common in one aspect - they all resemble the sound of sands. Sands were the first thing (not counting the void itself) conjured up by Shess, the creator, the primordial and the immemorial deity. To see the sands, Shess created light and shadow. To hear the sands, Shess created sounds. Such was the first scenery of the world - the endless white dunes, like a blank canvas able of containing many creations. And create Shess did then, conjuring up many preimages from the sands.

This pristine scenery was cut with the flow of the River of Life, and just like any cut the scenery bled. It bled with scarlet waters of the river. The sands near the course of the river soaked and changed their colors to all the possible shades of scarlet. Little streamlets spread far and wide and nourished the preimages, turning their dry sands into wet flesh. The River of Life is in constant motion and so are the preimages soaked with its waters - they move, they walk, they fall, they crash, they blend with each other, they fall apart in pieces, they lose the shapes bestowed upon them by the creator.

In these blood-soaked dunes another being appeared on its own, a deity which will be later called Issa, the maternal figure of the entire world. Much like Shess, Issa didn't have a corporal form, unlike the now living preimages. Like the River of Life brought changes to the sands, Issa brought changes to the bloody bodies as well. While the blood brought motion and life, Issa brought consciousness.

Pristine and unmoving preimages existed in the white dunes, but the now living, moving and thinking preimages could not. These were now fully fleshed and bloodied preimages of the many forms a life could take and they were not fitted for the primordial sandy landscapes. And so Issa led them all to the place of her own creation, later to be named Alasseia, although still made out of sands, but imbued with her own powers, and as the beings followed her the sands crumbled under them and thus the Sands of Time began their flow. This was the actual beginning of this world, as finally the time itself was created.

Such is the story of creation passed on from generations to generations and, as far as the living beings of Alasseia and later Alazavirra are concerned, it's the undeniable truth, as Issa, the ever maternal and guiding figure throughout the times, told and retold it herself.

i'm open for questions, comments and discussions regarding my original world, story and characters :) thanks for reading this!

got possessed last night and wrote (!!!) like 10 pages (!!!!!!!) of the prologuesque birth-of-the-world part of the story i've been daydreaming about for the past decade or so (and actually developing for the past year or few) AND i actually liked it (!!) while rereading it today

that's such a big step for me as i was severely bullied for my existence art in general from the very young age and thus i had a profound fear of writing ANYTHING original even if it was a few sentences of my opinion on some matter for the homework back at school (literally had instances of fainting from stress when asked to read out loud what i'd written in class)

so proud and happy for myself :)
