Once there was a maiden...

...whose domain was the ages
Her wings spanned the changing seasons
Her fangs dripped the passing seconds
The day turned to night by the twisting of her tail
"What became of the Dragon of Time?"
But no one knew to ask.

The Dragon of Time

When the Primordials built Creation, and gave pieces of themselves to become the Incarnae, Haht'hek, the Dragon of Time, volunteered to oversee the Loom of Fate, which weaves the strands of the future into the tapestry of the past. The Primordials took Haht'hek and divided him up, spreading his power among his seven subsouls, turning them into Incarnae. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are well known. Alongside them were Neptune and Pluto. At the moment of their creation, they spun backwards and forwards through time, their true origin wiped from all knowledge (though Jupiter may still remember). In the times before the moment of their birth they were the Fates, and from then on they were the Maidens of Destiny.

The Twilight Clock of Ages

When the time came to create the Exalted, the first Five Maidens each chose 20 strands of Fate to become the Fivescore Fellowship. Gaia meanwhile was creating her Elemental Dragonblooded. Neptune, having been the Reflecting/Reproductive soul of the Dragon of Time, lent her Elemental Aspect to a host of Dragonblooded, who became the Princes of Time. Pluto chose 100 of these souls for Autochthon to forge into Celestial shards, and these became the Chosen of Hours.
