Lyllion

"True creation is self sufficient and never-ending."

Introduction
Lyllion is a First Elder Empyral Generation, being among the first created by the All-Maker. She is perhaps the greatest of all Empyrean scholars, and some would say she is partially obsessed with collecting knowledge. She has aged throughout the years unlike the Seraphim, who remain youthful because of their power given onto them by the All-Maker. Lyllion is the leading ruler-figure in the Empyrean city of Mercury, and is well known throughout the Empyral race.

Significance
Lyllion is renown for her unmatched discovery of how Empyrals could procreate despite the All-Maker's slumber. It all started upon witnessing the creation of the Second Elder Empyral Generation. The All-Maker drew together a massive sphere of light, and within it formed countless new Empyrals. Once emerging, they had but the appearance of an older human child (~12years old). It was roughly a millennium later when the All-Maker fell into slumber. It was after this event when Lyllion started to research for a process in which Empyrals could reproduce. Her breakthrough came when recalling the creation of the Second (Elder) Generation of Empyrals. She theorized that if two Empyrals combined their sphere of light (which drifted just above their heads, above the centerpoint of their halo's) it would generate a new individualistic Empyral. She presented her theories to the Seraphim Council, despite initial controversies, she was given permission to test her theory. She and her spouse, Shobek, combined spheres and chose to impregnate herself with the combined sphere. Some time later, the sphere of light emerged from her and formed into a new Empyral. The child upon 'birth' had the same appearance as when the Second Elder Generation Empyrals were created. The child was also given the name Destiney. This process of procreation was advocated by the Seraphim Council, and it has become tradition for mass simultaneous sphere exchange every thousand years.

Informal
Lyllion has an aged appearance (~66 year old human) by the time of Eliaz; due to her not being empowered by the same energy that the Seraphim possess. Her true age is somewhere around 5400 years, just as other First Elder Generation Empyrals (such as Aekiem or Razak). This is due to 100 years of Empyrean aging being the equivalent to 1 year of Human aging.

The symbol above her is the insignia for the Empyrean city of Mercury.

Abilities
Her long life and fascination with learning have only sharpened her already bright intellect. She would rather spend her time learning than in battle, though she should not be taken lightly in regard to strength. Some report her strength to be on par with that of the Seraphim, albeit when not in their Seraphic Form. Those of whom knew her when she was young do remember her temperamental nature, along with her fierce strength. However, she has become more tempered with age and now is in competent control of her emotions. She is a wise and trusted adviser to the Seraphim Council, and is quite privy to the true nature of her peers. She is aware of Arciris' semblance, the necessity of Razak's role, and many other facts and secrets concerning her race as well as individual Empyrals.

I FINALLY FINISHED THIS~! You could say I was able to  break those chains that bind me.
I wonder if any of you got that song reference... Regardless, I have finally found resolution in finishing this drawing~!
Hug-tacular days all around, and remember don't be hesitant to critique because I have almost no clue what I was doing when drawing this elderly woman ... oh, and I decided to shade again (finally).
