was born. Xomni, while reflecting on his thoughts, had a vision. His vision was one of eternal lonliness. Longing companionship, he created the earth, water, and stone as his companions forever. He was happy with his creations, until he had another vision that showed him destroying his lovely works. Fearing the destruction of all existence as he knew it, he split himself into three beings: Dunia: who held domain over the earth, Ramar: who held domain over the water, and Nasiki: who held domain over the stone. Xomnis remains became the sky, where he could forever watch over his beautiful creation until the end of time. Ramar and Dunia soon fell in love, and when they met each others embrace, life on earth soon began, and flourished. Nasiki was lonely, and soon became jealous of the twos bond. Whereas Dunia and Ramar could create beautiful beings, Nasiki could only create fire and death. He soon took out his anger on the creations of Ramar and Dunia, sending storms of bloodfire to rain hell down upon its recipients. Ramar sent a river to help his children. When the bloodfire met the rivers cooling embrace, a beautiful pillar of shadowstone appeared, Ramar took the shadowstone as a dagger and confronted Nasiki at his Foretress of Stone. Driven mad by his loneliness and his actions against life, Nasiki attacked Ramar, and a fierce battle ensued. Ramar was winning until Nasiki had fled, or it seemed so. He returned, and in his hands, he held Dunia. Ramar, losing the will to fight, dropped his blade, letting it shatter amongst the ground below. AlecRosner@yahoo.com
