In the depths of a cosmic void, an ancient creator stands before a blank canvas, haunted by worlds that destroyed themselves-again and again. Around him writhe seven shadow-eels, living manifestations of his past failures: doubt, destruction, entropy itself.

As he attempts to paint existence anew-separating light from darkness, waters from sky, breathing life into clay-his shadows corrupt and destroy. But where he once would have abandoned everything, this time he fights back-transforming his failures into the foundation of creation itself.

Can a broken god learn to create alongside his shadows-or will the pattern repeat once more?
