Ourva

Following his ancestors' counsel, Ourva hurls the all-consuming fire of his anger into the great ocean. The fire takes on a life of its own, assuming the form of a horse's head that eternally drinks the sea, a contained apocalypse that fulfills his vow without ending the world.

Ourva, born from his mother's thigh after the slaughter of his clan, has sworn in his rage to destroy all the worlds. He stands before his ancestors, explaining that his vow cannot be false, but neither can he disobey them. He asks for a path that honors both his oath and the world's survival.
