The Story of Beginning
|
|
|
|
In the beginning there was nothing. A god came across the nothingness and
|
|
laid down for they were tired. The body of the god started to be consumed
|
|
into the nothingness and they could not longer rise up again. The body of
|
|
this god, known as Lomoti Aran which means 'source of earth', became the
|
|
land that we live on.
|
|
|
|
A second god came across the body and was horrified to see what had
|
|
happened. They swore to unmake this emptiness, but Lomoti Aran spoke to
|
|
them and said: "Do not forsake what is left of me".
|
|
|
|
This made the second god pause, and they agreed to not unmake the
|
|
emptiness. The two gods spoke for a while about what they ought to do, and
|
|
eventually decided that they ought to make the emptiness empty no more.
|
|
The second god got to work filling it with all kinds of marvels: lights in
|
|
the sky we now know as stars, the sun, and the moon; valleys that we call
|
|
our home; the mountains in the west; the rivers that we get our sustenance
|
|
from.
|
|
|
|
However, they could see what they had created was empty still. Then Lomoti
|
|
Aran had an idea, and told the other god: "This world needs something that
|
|
is of us, but is not broken. Become a part of this world with me, and give
|
|
fill it with life". The other god hesitated, but eventually agreed. We
|
|
know this god as Ritul, 'life', itself.
