Using the five scales, they created their own lands, their own mountains, their own lakes, and their own forests.
The people left their white world and sailed across the ocean. Instead, he reached into his cloak and pulled out five dragons scales, which he gave to the people.Īnd then, before anyone realized, the youth disappeared. "Then tell us, why did they create the island?"īut the youth did not answer. "Did you speak with the dragons?" the people asked. Some time passed, and the youth returned. He donned a simple cloak, climbed into a simple boat, and cast off alone into the murky seas.Īt last, guided by the sapphire star, he reached the Island of the Five. The people could not understand why the dragons had left, or why they had transformed.Įventually, a lone youth decided to go to the island to seek the answers from the dragons themselves. The last dragon climbed far into the sky to become a star of sapphire blue, shining brightly above the island. One dragon fell into a deep slumber and became the forests. One dragon stooped low and became the lakes, and scattered its scales to create the rain. One dragon lifted its gaze to the sky and became the mountains. One dragon sank into the sea and became the land. The dragons swam to the center of the ocean, and there they began to transform into an island. It rushed out in streams to create the sky and the oceans, and the dragons swam away. The dragons opened their mouths as if to answer, but from their mouths poured water instead of words. One day, the people began to wonder why their world had no beginning or end, so they asked the dragons.
In that world, there was only eternity, and a sun that burned without beginning or end.Īnd because there was only timeless eternity, nothing was ever lost.yet nothing was ever gained. The world was nothing but white light, inhabitated by one people and five dragons. The Tale of the Five tells of the creation of the world as we know it.
