"Telas, The Spinner" 

The second of the Vetarae to materialize was Telas, the Spinner. Shying away from her sister's blinding light, she retreated to a distant corner of a remote world, where she began spinning thread from loose atoms and matter. After a time--a second, a year, or an age--she looked around to survey her labor, realizing she had been moving forward, and her thread marked the record of her journey. Unwilling--or unable--to stop, she continues to spin the thread of time, hidden away.
