In the beginning was The Eternal One. In him was fullness of blessings. Nothing apart from him existed that does exist, and all that was in him was of the utmost good.
In the span of eternity, it came to pass that The Eternal One wished to share the wonders he was about to perform with others, thus he created the chief of his servants, the Inüyāré, the high angelic beings. It was their task to worship God by singing into existence elements and expanses.
At the first their songs brought wonderful light and color to the expanse, and God saw that it was pleasing. However, soon thereafter the Inüyāré named Vulnar witnessed the praises given unto The Eternal One and longed to take those praises unto himself. He began to sing into existence a darkness, a song of non-light and, in time, convinced a multitude to sing with him.
God saw this discord and immediately banished bear saying, “You wished to be lifted high, but instead, you will be brought low. You were proud of your beauty, but now others will cower before your dreadfulness. Your name shall no longer be Vulnar, lord of light, but Gávakh, worm of pride.”
So God created a separation between the light and the darkness and thus removed one from the other. This marked the beginning of the first age. For a time those who sang songs of light continued praises unto The Eternal One and those who sung in darkness were banished from the presence of God.
Then God spoke again to the congregation saying, “Behold I will give you another song to sing.” And there he gave to them the song of waters. The Inüyāré sang out praises of light and of waters creating beautiful works that proclaimed the name of The Eternal One.
Gávakh saw this new song and again warped it for his own use. He mixed in songs of putrid water that corrupted and distorted the pure, cleansing songs that praised The Eternal One.
So God created an immense expanse and divided the waters. He gathered the great waters above the heavens and separated those with waters beneath. So that the taint of Gávakh would not infiltrate the pure.
This marked the second age, and the Inüyāré sang again to him great songs of beauty.
And it came to pass that The Eternal One said to the Inüyāré, “Great have your songs been thus far, but even greater still shall I make them. Behold first the waters.” And God rolled back the waters and dry ground appeared. He called this ground earth. “Here too shall I give another song to thee.” And God introduced to them the song of fire, teaching the Inüyāré ways to sing and craft in both fire and earth. Thus marked the beginning of the third age.
These new songs excited the evil Gávakh for he could create much chaos and destruction with these. And so it was, many battles were waged during this age against the Inüyāré that stood with The Eternal One and those that desired power unto themselves as akin to Gávakh. The battles traversed the heavens leaving marvelous wonders of the elements in their wake. Many of which can be seen to this day as they act out their terrible dance. Even so, the destruction of Gávakh only led to more glorify the works of God by showing beauty prevail amongst the chaos.
After a time many planets and galaxies had been brought into being by the songs of the Inüyāré. Many of them glorious and marvelous to behold. God spoke saying, “Soon I shall bring forth the first born, creatures from the elements and of the elements. Whereas you were created, they shall be begotten. First, however, shall I choose from among your workings one of the planets on which to create them.” Many Inüyāré came to him, displaying their grandest works, boasting how that their creations were best for The Eternal One’s First Born.
Finally, the Inüyāré named Kulmo approached God and said, “Lord, I know my worlds are not as my peers, great and marvelous in grander, but you may do with them as you wish.” And God answered in saying, “Verily it is your world I shall use. For you were humble in your offering and though your gift is meek in thine own eyes, I shall make it great indeed in my care.”
The Eternal One again spoke unto the Inüyāré saying, “Behold yet another wonder shall I show you, but this now is an element you shall not be able to create. Nay, it shall be a mystery. And there upon the earth that Kulmo had set apart for God’s use, God created vegetation. Every kind of green and blooming thing sprouted up from the dry ground. The Inüyāré marveled at this new thing. Truly none of their arts could conjure such things as that.
God spoke and said, “This vegetation shall be for the use of the First Born. They shall use these plants as food and as housing. Their body being from the elements shall require the elements to sustain and nourish them.” The Inüyāré were amazed at this new thing, for they knew not the need of sustenance. For their existence came directly from The Eternal One.
Thus marked the end of the third age.
Finally, God said to Kulmo, “Behold, I shall stand watch over your earth and my face shall bring daylight to your planet. You shall stand guard over the night, and reflect my light to those in darkness. And you shall bear eyewitness to the First Born upon the planet you have given to me.” Thus were the sun and moon created, and in the vast heavens many of the Inüyāré gaze down upon the earth and seem as stars in their eyes.
And there marked the end of the fourth age as the Inüyāré marveled and contemplated what this First Born of the Eternal One should be like. However, Gávakh grew in hatred toward the thought of these yet unborn beings.
