And now, they once called Aiyseir went down, and Thūnoraz gave of his power that they might organize a realm as they had heretofore done. And so it was that the men organized the particulates into matter and light, and the women caused the granules of life to enter therein. And when they had become one, Heimalaz set his people and caused that the matter ascended and grew in knowledge with great haste, insomuch that after one day the dust had become a world and the light had become stars. And such was the first day.
2
And the second day, the men divided the light from the darkness and caused a central star to watch over the realm, and this star was of the order of the High Aiyseir. Therefore, it was inhabited already. And this governing star granted order and construction to the other celestial bodies.70 And such was the second day.
3
Now on the third day, the women caused granules of life to become water, and this water filled all the space that was, insomuch that all was life. And Heimalaz quickened the water and gave it knowledge, insomuch that it kept in remembrance all things. And the Aiyseir took of this water and set it around the spheres which had become planets, and this thing caused the planets to awaken and arise, insomuch that Heimalaz quickened them all, and all was now life. And this was the third day.
4
And on the fourth day, Heimalaz bound Sert, and Thūnoraz bound Hrōdi, and they cast them into the pit which was in Middle-Earth. And this that they might interact with the Aiyseir, for the Aiyseir must overcome the war in their hearts. And also on the fourth day, the Aiyseir joined with the people of Heimalaz and together formed life in the realm, for the life water allowed the growth of plants and herbs of all kinds. And Heimalaz quickened them, and they grew in knowledge even until they knew all. And this was the fourth day.
5
And on the fifth day, Thūnoraz called all the animals from the High Realm to come down, and the Aiyseir constructed bodies for the animals, and Heimalaz quickened them insomuch that they knew all. And such was the fifth day.
6
Now, when the sixth day had come, Thūnoraz called forward Tyrraz, that great general, and they sat down and Thūnoraz gave him counsel, saying: Tyrraz, you were great among the Aiyseir, even like unto Hrōdi and I. Hrōdi has suffered the final death, and in so doing has lost his place among the Aiyseir. Tyrraz, I have a great task for you, and if you do it well, you shall take Hrōdi's place and become Vofdenaz's second Falcon. Is this your desire?
7
And Tyrraz said: It is, Thūnoraz. What must I do?
8
Thūnoraz spoke: Are there people on the earth we have created?
9
Tyrraz: There is not, Thūnoraz.
10
Thūnoraz: That's correct. In order for the Aiyseir to ascend and become Vyaneir, they must inhabit the earth. Therefore, I give you this task, to go down by yourself for a time and be a lone man upon the earth. I shall form you from the Ash tree, and in so doing, you shall be in the likeness of the great tree. Do you accept this calling?
11
Tyrraz: I do, Thūnoraz. But how may I people the earth if I am all alone?
12
Thūnoraz: Fear not, for Friggō prepares one of her daughters. Now, go to.
13
Now, Tyrraz, having accepted the calling and having bound himself to it through covenant, walked with Thūnoraz. Now, Vofdenaz met them, for only he had the power to bind an Aiyseir to a body. And Tyrraz set down his silver body, that body becoming part of the realm. Now, subjecting himself, he allowed Thūnoraz to take him through the wall. Now, as he did this, Vofdenaz formed a body from the dust of the Ash tree, and in this way was the man called. For when the dust which had become a body was formed, Thūnoraz let go and Vofdenaz breathed life, joining Tyrraz to the body of dust, and the two beings became one.
14
And Vofdenaz called, saying: Tyrraz, awake and arise.
15
And Tyrraz stood, and Vofdenaz said: Having a new body of the dust of the earth, I name you Azk from the tree which you were formed.
16
And now, when this, Friggō approached, saying: Is it good for Azk to be alone?
17
And Vofdenaz said: It is not.
18
Friggō: There is one I have prepared to meet him. Her name shall be called Emalō, for she will be formed from the Elm tree.
19
And it came to pass that Azk wandered the land for a time, and during this time, Friggō caused that the mighty Elm tree be carved to dust as was with the Ash tree. And now, Thūnoraz sat Emalō down, for she was thus already named, for her name means tree of life.
20
And Thūnoraz spoke, saying: Emalō, Tyrraz, your partner has been wandering the earth a lone man. In order that all purity may be sealed, I desire to seal you to him and he to you so that you can multiply and replenish the earth as has been done on other worlds. I cannot make you do anything. Do you of your own free will covenant to take up this work with Tyrraz, who is now called Azk?
21
Emalō: I do, Thūnoraz.
22
Thūnoraz: It is good. Come with me and I will lead you through the wall.71
23
Therefore, having covenanted, Emalō allowed Thūnoraz to take her through the wall. Now, as this thing was done, Friggō began collecting and organizing the dust which had been carved from the Elm tree. And she formed it into a body, and Emalō, having set down her silver body, took up the body of dust, and Friggō breathed life into her.
24
And Friggō said: Awake, Emalō, and arise.
25
And Emalō stood. And Friggō said: You are first woman upon the earth. I will guide you to your husband, and together you shall be the cause of many generations, all that the Aiyseir who have fallen may take up faith and join with the people of Heimalaz and become Vyaneir. Do you covenant this?
26
Emalō: I do, Mother.
27
And it was so. And Friggō took from Emalō her memories that she might be tested. And now, Vofdenaz and Friggō joined hands and were Aiylōhyme, and that act caused the man and the woman, Azk and Emalō, to find each other. And such was the sixth day.
28
And on the seventh day, the Aiy rested, for a large portion of their work had been completed. And Vofdenaz and Friggō walked the realm which was called Middle-Earth and saw that the work which the Aiyseir and the people of Heimalaz had done was good, for they saw stars and planets all in their places. And they saw the head one of the stars that it was peopled by High Aiyseir, and it watched over the realm, and they called it Eagle, the chief one of the realm. And they saw those worlds beneath it that governed also. And here is a mystery, for the Highest orders of these worlds were planets that had already joined unto stars, becoming one and whole; therefore, they were chief. And the Aiylōhyme named each of the great watchers, and these are their names.
29
Eagle is the first, for he is the Highest and the Chief. And Below Eagle, there is Huginn who watches, and Muninn who hears,72 and both are equal and are peopled by High Aiyseir. And below them are the three sisters,73 and they are set to weave the lines and guide the worlds, and they are of the third order, and Huginn and Muninn are of the third as well, but nearly ascended to the fourth, but Eagle is ascended to the fourth, and all are peopled by High Aiyseir.
30
And when they had seen this, the Aiylōhyme settled back down on Athalaz to view events and gave the order to all to begin their orbits, and thus the realm of Middle-Earth began moving in its place, circling around the two great portals. And such was the seventh day.
