Anam Cara Parts 1 and 2

Part 1: The Creation of Jeken

In the beginning of time, there was a beautiful goddess called Ilana. She decided to create a world where she could place the things in her kingdom that she deemed worthy. This place would become known as Earth.

When Earth was first created, it was a barren ball of scorched ground. Ilana decided that it should have growth of plants. In order to grow, these creations needed a life source. Ilana then created the sun and the water. With these, the flowers could thrive.

After that was done, Ilana decided to create a being that she could control. She called it man. He was created from the Earth itself. He had hair as black as the night sky (for there were no stars), and eyes as deep blue as the ocean. This man, named Jeken, was the first human on Earth. He was placed on the Earth surrounded by flowers of all kinds, every taste and scent a man could dream of. The garden in which he lived was fragrant and fruitful.

Though Jeken did not know it at the time, he was destined for great things....

Part 2: The Creation of Dibena

Years went by, and Jeken grew lonely. He pleaded with Ilana to make him a mate. She knew that he was lonely, and therefore she consented. She took a beautiful flower, with petals as red as a ruby and an eye as yellow as the sun.

The petals became her hair, and the yellow became her eyes. She was tall, with waist length red hair and alabaster skin. Her golden eyes were a strange, deep color. She was a beauty to behold, but she lacked the pure heart that Jeken had.

Many years passed in harmony, but the children of Ilana were growing discontent with their lives. They yearned for something more, but Ilana had greater plans for them than either of them knew....
