Book 4
(1) now in Naai, the Dragons and the Unicorns had proliferated faster than any of the other species.
(2) and because They were so many, They had become the favorites of Nature.
(3) They had become Nature's favorites because there were so many of Them, and each one of them gave Nature joy.
(4) so to the Dragons, who could fly, Nature gave them magic and gave them the ability to change the world with thoughts.
(5) so Time hated Nature for what Shi had done, because Shi had made the Dragons like one of them,
(6) and Time was soon to wipe all the Dragons from the face of Naai when Nature staid Hir hand by force,
(7) and saying, "No! Instead it is I who must suffer!" she bowed down before Time.
(8) so it was that Time raped Nature until Shi could no longer bear child.
(9) that is why today, the only species that walk the land are pushed from the loins of the fallen.
(10) though Nature cried in pain, Shi loved Hir Children all the more.
(11) so to the Unicorns, who could run from one corner of the land to another, Nature gave them strength over any of the other creatures.
(12) so Time hated Nature for what Shi had done, because Shi had interrupted Time's order.
(13) and Time was soon to wipe all the Unicorns from the face of Naai when Nature staid Hir hand by force,
(14) and saying, "No! Instead it is I who must suffer!" she opened Hir arms before Time.
(15) and Time beat Nature until Shi could no longer walk in the lands Shi had created.
(16) and that is why today, Nature does not create new lands for the fallen to walk upon.
(17) now Naai was a beautiful land, and Time had grown old there.
(18) Shi wished for another to take Hir place, but Nature had been crippled by Hir hand.
(19) in sadness, there is no end to corruption.
(20) so Time was suffering from grief, and every day Shi beat Nature.
(21) where there is power to feed corruption, there is evil ready to be born.
(22) so Time beat Nature one day and did not hear Nature's cries, and Nature was slain.
(23) so like the Fox that was Nature's first Child, Time wandered Naai alone until the end of Hir days.
(24) so even today, the spirits of Time and Nature cause rain to fall from the sky.
(25) and the rain is the spirits of Time and Nature weeping.
Book 5
(1) the spirits of Nature and of Time are in everything around us!
(2) so even today, their cycles of night and of day continue!
(3) so even today, there are high mountains and low valleys!
(4) so even today, we celebrate the changing of the seasons!
(5) with no Goddesses to guide them in Naai, all of Nature's Children faltered.
(6) though the Dragons and the Unicorns tried to bring peace,
(7) and the species fought on among themselves, the younger brother trying to overcome the older.
(8) the Unicorns and the Dragons used the blessings that Nature had given them to bring order back to the creatures of the land.
(9) but Time had impregnated Hir order with evil,
(10) and the species fought on among themselves, the younger sister trying to overcome the older.
(11) Time beat Nature and did not hear Hir calling:
(12) where there is evil, the ears cannot hear and the eyes cannot see.
(13) when a creature strikes his friend, his friend is impregnated with evil and strikes back.
(14) so today, because Time fell into evil, we must guard against striking our friends.
(15) when a creature bullies his friend, and his friend calls out for him to stop, he cannot hear and continues bullying.
(16) so today, because Time fell into evil and killed Nature, we must guard against bullying.
(17) when a creature eats another and does not pray for him and remember his life, that too is evil.
(18) so today, because Nature gave birth to every creature, we must pray whenever we must kill to survive.
(19) in Naai, no Creature guarded against striking his friend, and no Creature guarded against bullying, and no Creature prayed for those He killed.
(20) so today, we must strive to maintain the balance between order and chaos like the balance between the day and the night and the balance between the mountains and the valleys.
(21) and today, as we watch the seasons change from summer to autumn and from winter to spring, we must watch our friends change as well and strive to understand.
(22) this is the way we ward off evil, through learning.
(23) in Naai, no Creature learned the differences of his friend,
(24) and there were wars for many years,
(25) and there was no end to the fighting because spirits were all that was left of the Goddesses who made Naai and every Creature.
Book 6
(1) in the year 17, a Dragon was born to his parents.
(2) now this Dragon was born in the high mountains of the north, and when he first flew, he did not flap his wings,
(3) but he flew from this peak to that one without flapping his wings,
(4) so they called him Gural, for he drifted from this peak to that one.
(5) Kural was a boon to his family, for he did not speak out of turn.
(6) Kural married within his tribe to a female.
(7) their first catch was seven, and their second catch was twelve.
(8) he fought valiently in the War.
(9) but when he was one hundred and seventy-eight years of age, he refused to war against other Children of Nature, saying,
(10) "Why, when I have fathered my own children by my own seed, should I destroy the children of others?"
(11) so for speaking out of place, Kural was struck with stones by his elders until he could no longer speak and could not pass his wisdom on to his children.
(12) in the year 69, Kural's first catch was three males, two females, and two herms.
(13) the males were Ruj, Xu, and Ktilng.
(14) the females were Ojamn and Ulmn.
(15) and the herms were Djoam and Quam.
(16) in the year 132, Kural's second catch was eight males, two females, and two herms.
(17) the males were Be, Goar, Shtaia, Yadr, Vudr, Tvu, Rdo, and Tkul.
(18) the females were Aqumn and Iximn.
(19) and the herms were Shtem and Shtaym.
(20) the first male was named Ruj because he flew always from lower peaks to higher ones, so they named him Ruj, which means to beat or to rise flapping.
(21) Ruj was a pride to his father, for he was never violent to his brother-sisters.
(22) he fought valiently in the War.
(23) but when he was one hundred and forty-seven years of age, he killed his commander rather than kill innocents.
(24) so for being violent to his brother, Ruj was struck with stones by his superiors until he could no longer use his limbs to defend his family.
(25) Ruj was sacrificed for the War and produced no descendants.
Book 7
(1) there were of Kural's second catch the herms Shtem and Shtyam, whose blood was of their father's and whose orbs were filled with their father's seed.
(2) Nature saw that these two have love between them and saw that they be herms to one impregnate the other.
(3) their love was a secret to their father and to everyone around them.
(4) many nights they mated on each other, the one shooting hir seed into the other.
(5) when it became they could no longer hide their bellies,
(6) they drank noxious teas to annihilate their young.
(7) again they mated on each other, the one shooting hir seed into the other.
(8) again, they drank poisonous drinks so that their father would not see their huge bellies.
(9) Kural, thinking his young son-daughters virgins, mate mates for them from a neighboring tribe of two females and one male each.
(10) in exchange, Kural provided his four daughters and two of his sons.
(11) when they heard, Shtem and Shtyam fled into the mountains.
(12) their father wept, for he had provided much of his small catches and gained nothing in return.
(13) for Kural had no one to mate his recieved sons and daughters to.
(14) Shtem and Shtayam did not lay their eggs full,
(15) but always drank teas of noxious herbs so they would lay their eggs empty.
(16) and they ate their eggs and the same night mated on each other many times again.
(17) so their father, Kural, was shamed to his neighbors and shamed to his children.
(18) and where he drifted from this peak to that before, he now drifted alone.
(19) no one would fly next to him, because he could not speak and because he had nothing to say.
(20) Kural drifted alone until his death after three hundred and eighty-one years of life.
(21) his son-daughters Shtem and Shtyam never laid full eggs even with the many times they shot seed the one into the other.
(22) because they fled into the mountains, they never returned to their family.
(23) Shtem and Shtyam were never heard from again,
(24) and their names were forgotten.
(25) and that is why it is a crime against Nature to lay eggs empty.
