Time since the asteroid hit Earth: ~6.13 billion years (subjective to Aryan)
Aryan floated in the deep silence between stars, feeling the endless quiet stretch around him.
> "Sound… the only force that can shape without touch," he mused. "What if life itself was pure vibration?"
With a flick of thought, he began weaving the **Resonant Choir** — beings made entirely of **sound waves**.
No flesh.
No matter.
Only frequencies, harmonics, and endless song.
> "Oh, great," Light God appeared, dressed as a rockstar. "A universe where everyone's a singer. Hope they're better than space karaoke night."
Aryan shaped vast gas clouds and crystal spheres across empty systems to serve as **resonance chambers** — colossal instruments tuned to host the Choir.
At first, the Resonant Choir sang simple tones — pure and clear. But soon they evolved into **complex harmonies**, vast living symphonies drifting through space.
They could **move** by shifting frequencies.
They could **communicate** by layering melodies.
They could even **heal broken matter** by vibrating damaged structures back into shape.
> "Whoa," Light God gasped, covering imaginary ears. "They're singing that asteroid belt back into a planet! Space opera just got real."
But not all was harmony.
A fracture appeared — a **discordant note** — as some Resonants began crafting songs that **broke** matter instead of healing it.
The **Dissonants** were born — rebels who sang destruction.
Their frequency storms shattered moons and silenced stars.
> "Yikes. Space death metal cult incoming," Light God muttered.
Aryan knew this was the danger of pure freedom — that music could build or break.
He created a new being: **The Conductor**, a titanic Resonant who gathered the Choir into unity, weaving harmony over chaos.
With the Conductor's guidance, the Dissonants quieted — for now.
> "Even music needs rules," Aryan whispered.
Selith, the Chronari, flickered briefly beside him.
> "Their song touches time itself," she warned. "Be cautious, Architect. Their resonance could wake ancient things."
Light God shook.
> "Did she just hint at cosmic horrors? Man, this universe has secret bosses everywhere."
Aryan listened to the Choir — a gentle cosmic lullaby filling galaxies.
He named this creation:
**The Resonant Choir — Life in Vibration, Harmony, and Dissonance.**
Proof that even **sound** could become soul.
