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 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 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...

The Creation of the Stars

Long before the memories of men, when Earth, Sky, Life and Death were young, Kedar Idol of darkness longed to create something for his lover, Elaen. This was before the sun and moon were born to bring light in the heavens, so Elaen was the only light. Kedar took a few rays of light from Elaen’s head as she slept and cut them into diamonds of different shapes and sizes. Their daughter, Evette, came to admire the beautiful things her father had made but at her touch they became alive. When Elaen woke the heavens were filled with dancing, young stars, going in circles around Kaelos and Mizrana. But one star remained untouched by the young Idol of life and stood completely still. This was Komi, the star by which men navigate, as he is the only star in the heavens that never moves. Now, every night the stars perform the stories they witnessed from above back to those below the heavens, to be sure that what has been is never forgotten.
