In the beginning...

In the beginning there was nought but the Universe and she was all that be.
But in her endless dreams she felt lonely and so the forth she brought the water bird. And the water bird was her companion for the endless dreams and it delighted her.
In her delight she bore children, born from the whim of her mind and they, too, became her companions in her endless dreams.
In a time -or another- the waterbird laid an egg and one of the children took an interest in it, for it was beautiful egg; light blue and spotted; its shell smooth and cool.
And the endless dreams passed.
The child who held the egg dropped it. And it hit the hard edge of the endless dreams and broke; its essence spalttered and broken.
The child took apart the yolk and the albumen and laid them carefully on the weave of the endless dream. And the child cried for the lost of the egg and the tears got mixed up in the albumen;
the world of Talais was born.
