The Cosmic Tree,

Yggdrasil, has always been.

No one knows why,

But the tree willed

And bore a fruit.

And thus from this fruit

A being was born,

Though he did not know

Himself from where he came,

But it made sense.

Prime Mover,

Precursor,

Enchanter,

Starbreather.

All of these names denote

Him: the Supreme God, One.

For some reason,

There came a time

When One decided to create.

And so the Great Enchanter

Called forth from the soil

Of Yggdrasil.

From it, beings were born.

These were the first created,

The Angels.

They were happy for a time,

But soon they cried out:

'Make us like the Aeons!

Give us mighty power,

That we might be strong!’

The Starbreather saw his

Creation and felt

Compassion.

With a flick of his wrist,

He enchanted their blood,

Giving them mighty magics

And the power of the Halo.

Time passed, and soon

One decided to create again.

Once more, he called forth

From the soil of the Tree.

From the dirt came the

Animals: beasts of the

Air, land, and sea.

They were happy for a time,

But then they began to cry:

‘Give us the forms of the

Angels, that we might be

Beautiful!’

Seeing this,

One felt compassion once more.

With his powers,

He gave them them

The forms of men.

Once again, One sat to create.

From the soil he formed

The Darklings, the blue Elves.

They were happy for a time,

But they soon cried out:

‘Unlock our minds,

That we shall know

more than anyone!’

Once more,

One felt compassion.

With his might,

He gave them

The secrets of the World.

One last time,

The Starbreather sat to create.

From the soil came humans.

They were frail and weak,

And they too cried out

For power.

This deeply saddened

The Starbreather.

‘All of my creations

Only want power!’

He cried as he hid himself

In the garden.

Only one

Dared enter the

Garden: a small

Human.

Her name was ‘Vespira.’

With great passion,

She fell and wept

At the Starbreather's feet.

‘Thank you,’

She cried.

‘Thank you for giving me life!’

At the sight of this,

The great god was

Vastly moved.

‘I will give you

The greatest power

Of all...’

He took her hand and said:

“‘I will breathe the stars into your veins.’”
