“Before the reckoning of days and the weaving of stars, the Wheel turned upon the face of the deep, and by the casting of lots was dominion given to LUMAD, the First Maker, who raised the isles from the abyss and wrought the gods of sky, stone, dream, and sea. Yet the beginning is veiled in mist, and the end lieth beyond the sight of gods and men. As the gods strive and the people of the isles lift their songs, LUMAD resteth crowned upon the Dragon’s Beak, His dreams binding the world. But it is told that at the last turning of the Wheel, the First and the Last shall awaken, unmaking all, and shaping anew the worlds and gods yet to be.”

10. For the mists are thick, and the beginning is hidden,


and the end no man may see, neither sons of gods, nor they who walk upon the isles.


11. Thus was brought forth Camiguyon, greatest and central isle of the boundless seas of the abyss;


and LUMAD beheld it, and sat upon the peak of the Dragon's Beak.


12. There He brought forth gods upon the isles and declared:


"Go forth, and fashion worlds in your image, for ye are made in Mine."


13. And the gods whom LUMAD had fashioned beheld one another with awe,


for each bore a spark of the First Voice, and each was shaped by the will of the Deep.
