A Song for the Festival of Water

 

the ocean calls, her voice so sweet

the waters call me into the deep

the ocean calls, she hopes to meet

the waves they sing their song over me


O, Marisha, call me home

far far over the lands I roam

O, sweet Idol, hear my song

 I know the deep is where I belong


the rivers call, dear sisters speak

the waters lead me into the deep

the rivers call, they’re guiding me

the streams they sing their songs over me


O, Marisha, call me home

away away from ground I roam

O, sweet Idol, hear my song

I know the deep is where I belong


beyond the horizon I’ll  find my home

the Idol, she knows where I belong

deep in her waters beneath the foam

her voice calls my spirit, child my own


O, Marisha, call me home

over over your waves I atone

O, sweet Idol, hear my song

I know the deep is where I belong

The Dance of the Stars

 In the world of Oros, all stars except one are alive. They watch the world below and take notice when things of great significance happens. Occasionally, the One will tell them to watch a certain place or people when something important is about to happen.  When night comes the star perform these events for those below. They move in formations (similar to constellations in our world) to depict historic events, though some of their meanings are lost to time. When they are anticipating a new event, they will perform the stories they believe were crucial in leading up to it. On shorter summer nights, the stars perform one story and when the nights get longer in the winter they can do more. Not only is the dance of the stars a beautiful thing to behold in the night sky, it insures that no matter who much time may pass the stars will always remember. And perhaps, if one is willing to take the time to watch, one can rediscover what had been forgotten.

The First Monsters and Heroes

  Ages passed after the stars were created, more Idols were born and the stars became jealous. They did not possess power like the Idols, nor were they worshipped as the Idols were. As mortals came to be, they admired the beauty of the stars and some of them were drawn to the adoration, falling to earth. The first star to fall was Zekael, who seduced a young mortal woman called Naballa. She came to be with child but, knowing the power the offspring would have and seeing an opportunity for chaos, Kaelos cursed her womb. When Naballa gave birth, she bore three children, which were deformed and destructive. But she refused to abandon her children, even when they grew to crave the flesh of Men. She ran away from her people, taking her children to the Valley of Teratan, into the woods now known as the Forest of Beasts. The first monsters of that forest were the descendants of Naballa and Zekael. Serpon, born with scales and poisonous fangs. Gathirio, huge, shaggy, and stronger than a do...
