THE CREATION

In countless ages, at a time when chaos prevailed in the world, the word arose and from it everything else was formed and order was used. Love and hate were always present, but they did not touch anything, so they did not interfere. But one day the two fell on each other, love over hate. A thundering flash broke out and took control of everything, which lasted for three days. Then the light was separated from the darkness and the word was hailed. A word in itself was life and death. And anything alive that touched it would die and over anything lifeless the word would inflate life. From the air that was launched over the word, spirits arose. From the fire, demons and shadows formed. The earth made clay, from which men emerged. And the water originated a whole populous horde of marine beings. Arred and proud, who hated humans and were hardly seen on the surface. Everything that was created was done through love and hate and through the word they were born. As time went by as creations of the word also sought for it to have absolute power and to dominate death and life. For this reason, a spirit called Trúvio gathered the word in a book and kept it out of this world. But the word was alive and difficult to contain. When it wanted to, it could multiply and was volatile, converging now for good, now for evil. But before the word was removed from the reach of any living being, spirit or shadow, these beings: spirits and shadows, forged with eight animal words. They were forged from the earth's ores and four would serve spirits and the other four would serve demons and shadows. Are they: Those who serve the spirits: Horse, Tiger, Phoenix and the Winged Serpent. And those who serve demons and shadows: Dove, Bear, Doe and Lion.
