In the timeless expanse that predates the dawn of creation, there existed a mystical realm known as Avianthria. Within it dwelled the Aetherocti, sacred owls that transcended the boundaries of existence itself. Coveting their omnipotent power, a malevolent force older than cosmos waged war against the Aetherocti. The very fabric of reality shook as shadowy legions clashed with the guardians of cosmic balance, threatening to unravel the very essence of existence itself. Despite their valor, the Aetherocti faced annihilation at the hands of the unnameable darkness.

During the darkest hour of the cosmic war, Hushra, the eldest among the Aetherocti, ascended to the highest realm. With a resounding HOOT echoing through the cosmos, Hushra unleashed a torrent of pure Aether. The celestial sound reverberated with the essence of creation, shattering the encroaching darkness. The malevolent force recoiled as the brilliance of the Aether illuminated Avianthria. Hushra's primal cry marked a turning point, a beacon of hope in the midst of despair. The cosmic balance teetered on the edge, swayed by the magnitude of Hushra's ancient call.

As the light of the Aether faded, the survivors of the Aetherocti embraced their new destiny. Infused with residual Aether, they evolved into the Aethernyx, beings of both light and shadow. Their numbers diminished, the Aethernyx vowed to uphold the cosmic order and prevent the malevolent force's resurgence. Their existence became a testament to sacrifice, rebirth, and the enduring power of the Aetherocti.
