The Erondós, Legends of the Elder Days. 33rd Edition

Book 4 The First Mythos Age

[1:1] All the World of Erthos was peaceful and good, [1:2] and all the First Children of the Gods watched over the Gift of Erthos, [1:3] for it was good and plentiful to them.

[1:4] There was one child of the Gods named Lólos, [1:5] he was born of the Gods' love and passion for one another, [1:6] and he was made of their divine flesh and blood.

[1:7] He was more beautiful than many of his brothers and sisters, [1:8] for his hair was dark blue as the starry firmaments, [1:9] and his eyes green and lush like emeralds that sparkled of diamonds.

[1:10] He worked with his brothers and sisters daily, [1:11] he was fond of the earth and soil, [1:12] for he always tendered the earth and made it plentiful for all.

[1:13] Lólos provided food and drink (Lacuna)

(Verses 1:14 thru 1:16 Lacuna)

[1:17] Yet what he loved more in the world, [1:18] was to play tricks with his brothers and sisters, [1:19] and they didn't mind his trickery, [1:20] for all shared in warm laughter with him.

[1:21] One evening Lólos played a trick on his sister Eviovos, [1:22] she was enjoying her food and wine at their shared table that supper.

[1:23] Lólos changed her sweet wine into bitter drink, [1:24] Eviovos spat it out in disgust onto her plate of favourite food, [1:25] and all laughed at her moment of humiliation.

[1:26] "Sýύ Mǎstós iámǒ. [1:27] Ei̱n sýύ Tuǐjik Iāng'wuì Tiéshùg Âuǒyǒug toghěn Ghǎo." "Thou Mock Me. For thou Trickery will be The End of all that is Good." the Prophecy of Eviovos.

[1:28] "Sèimish, thǐshì yīgè lú'hài, ǐmig suribùqǐ." "Sister dearest, tis only a harmless jest, thy am sorry." the apology of Lólos to Eviovos.

[1:29] Eviovos shunned her brother's apology out of spite, [1:30] and she tossed the rest of the bitter wine onto the face of Lólos, [1:31] and struck his face before storming out of the banquet hall.

(Verses 1:32 thru 1:40 Lacuna)

[1:41] For many days Lólos followed Eviovos and begged her for forgiveness, [1:42] and he wept bitterly at her feet.

[1:43] Still Eviovos made her heart colder and harder onto him and turned from him, [1:44] never giving what he sought most and that was forgiveness, [1:45] Eviovos cast her brother down a cliff face, [1:46] that she caused the earth to fall, [1:47] and Lólos was taken in a landslide, [1:48] yet he lived but he lamented for his sister, [1:49] who left him at the bottom of the pit that he dwelled within.

[1:50] Twas than Lólos in his lamenting despair, [1:51] he heard a voice that beckon onto him, [1:52] it was the voice of the Chaotic Avatar Yarnǒtho, [1:53] and he had returned from his long exile.

[1:54] "Thy have seen thou misfortune O beautiful son of the Gods. [1:55] Yet thy alone know how thou can fix this estrangement with thou sister dearest. [1:56] Listen to me, to me, to me, and only me O child of the Gods and heed thine calling! [1:57] For thy shalt bring perfection and peace to thou world, [1:58] misery and woe shall be no more, [1:59] and all that thou desire most shall be thine wish to fulfilled." the Temptation of Yarnǒtho.

(Verses 1:60 thru 1:116 Lacuna)

[1:117] Yarnǒtho entered the Young World of Erthos (Lacuna)
