In the beginning, there was That Which Is, and That Which Is Not. That Which Is came to realize itself, and took the name Uhl and called itself the Sea, and That Which Is Not named itself Yaw and called itself the Sky. The Sky blew above and the Sea flowed below, and where the two met a great froth formed. The froth churned and bubbled, and from it came a great green mass that named itself Ur, and was called Life by Uhl, the Sea, and Yaw, the Sky. Ur made it known to Uhl and Yaw that it was not born of them, but it had always existed, though without form.
Thus it was that Ur floated on top of Uhl and beneath Yaw, and as Ur's body lived, so to did it die, and sink into the depths of the Sea. And so, as Life was given body from the froth where the Sea met the Sky, and the death of this body created a great mound within Uhl, until it pushed Ur aside and passed from Uhl into Yaw. The Sky saw this and called the bodies Earth, and as Earth came into contact with Lice, it began again to live, and named itself Dou.
So it was that Uhl flowed and Yaw blew, and that from their froth Ur took body, and as that body lived and died it gave shape to Dou, and Dou continued to grow. As Dou grew wider, and taller, there ame to be parts of the Earth where Uhl could no longer reach, and so Uhl asked Ur what these parts of the Earth were like. Ur agreed to look, and crawled onto Dou, and thus Life spread across the Earth. As there was life, there was death, and where Life became death without the touch of the Sea, a new thing came to be. It burned, and scorched Dou's body, causing great pain, and so Dou begged the Sea and the Sky for help. So the Sky picked up great armfulls of the Sea and poured it onto the Earth, and when this water, now separated from Uhl, touched Ur it sprang to new life, and named itself Ber, and it was called Rain.
As Ber poured down, there came a great cry as the heat recoiled in pain. The heat named itself Man, and begged for the Rain to end. Dou refused, furious over the pain it had felt, but Uhl pointed out the pain of having the Earth inside of the Sea, and Ur the pain of the death that gave the Earth shape. So Dou relented, and Man became called Fire. Dou's heart hardened with resentment, but the Earth in time realized that Fire could not exist without the Earth to separate it from the Sea. Thus the Earth became sympathetic towards Fire, and separated from it's hardened heart, calling it Metal, and upon being separated from Dou it came into new life, naming itself Dai.
Man was greatful for the mercy of Dou, and yet worried that he could again grow wild and beyond control; and so, he dug great trenches, and asked Uhl and Ber to fill them. Ur, being curious, moved to see these new things, and called them River, and as they touched Life, they became aware and took the name Ban.
Thus it was, that the Sky blew above, and the Sea flowed below, and the Earth rose from the depths, and Life was given body and crawled from the Sea to the Earth, and Fire was born of death without water, and Rain and River were made to prevent the Fire from destroying all, and anger became Metal in the heart of the Earth. This, is how the world was formed.
