3. In The Beginning
The God of the
Burning Orb,
Eloweigh, and his
wife Phay of the
Night Glow ruled
over the empty
heavens.
Eloweigh
Phay
4. Ba’het
Out of Boredom Eloweigh and Phay began to
stamp their heavy feet and dance, stirring up a
great chaos of dust and ice.
Out of this chaos a world was formed. They
saw that it was beautiful and called it Ba’het.
5. A Daughter
Even with their swirling world, they felt incomplete
and lonely so they pulled
a great boulder from Ba’het.
They wrapped their mighty trunks around and around
it. When the boulder cracked a beautiful she-phant
emerged. She had long, beautiful brown fur and eyes
that shone like crystals. Eloweigh and Phay wept at her
beauty and their tears became the stars. They called her
Astrid.
6.
Paradise
Astrid made many dolls and played with them
everyday on Ba’het. She filled their world with majestic
mountains, tall trees, sparkling rivers, and deep oceans.
She made Ba’het a paradise for her playthings.
7.
Astrid loved her dolls so very much and Eloweigh,
wanting to please his lovely daughter, breathed life
from his great trunk into all of the dolls.
They became all of the creatures that roamed
Ba’het.
8. For the ones who shared
the likeness of the Gods,
Phay sang the song of
culture into their ears.
They became the race of
the great Mamai.
The Mamai lived in the
paradise Astrid had made for
them and were the ruler of all
creatures. They multiplied and
soon all of Ba’het was
populated with this Majestic
culture, but Astrid could not
keep up with the actions of all.
