Editing Sehashi (section)

= Origin =
Within each living being is a spark of light. Some races of people call this spark different things. Essence. Soul. Spirit. Psyche. Energy. Anima. Ego. Pith. Pneuma. Whatever the word it was called by, it was the same thing. Without this light, no life could exist. Opinions differ on where this spark of light comes from. Some say it was a gift from their gods. Some claim it evolved spontaneously. <br>
All of those in possession of this light are free to do with it as they choose. Like any light, it can dim and grow dark over time or its shine can grow brighter. It is ultimately up to them. Some are born with purer light than others, others are born with a dimmer light. Not many of these people are aware of the purity of this light within them and go about their lives never realizing that it is there, without knowledge of the potential they possess. As a result, their light dims over time. Others, rather than dimming, grow corrupt, their light becoming darkness.<br>
There are those who discover that this pure light lives within them and learn how to use it. These people become sehashi, defenders of their worlds. 

== Sehashi and Myths ==
Not all figures from ancient mythology were sehashi. Some were real people and many of those so-called gods were called by different names in different countries. Some had as many as four or five names for one person. It tended to get confusing. Earth wasn’t alone in that, but it was often used as the example. Trayos VI was nearly as bad, as was Phrya Prime, a world not far from where [[Laira]] was born. When belief in gods faded, some worlds came to think of sehashi as demons or witches and some even ceased to believe in them altogether. Witch hunts on Earth and a few other worlds managed to kill a large number of sehashi before they ended. Earth hasn’t believed in the sehashi in hundreds of years. Some are glad for that but others… Well, some came to resent that.
