The Creation of the World
It is the mythos for the creation of the planet and the existence of Asha and Kasim.
Folklore
In the beginning, there was stifling darkness.
From the darkness, was born an egg.
The egg bore light and within, the birth of sound.
Upon cracking, the shell fragments created the earth.
From the egg, was born Aiskasim.
Aiskasim spread the fragments in all directions, molding them in shape.
Exhaling in satisfaction created the sky and the heavens above.
Wiping sweat from his brow, he created the waters.

Before Aiskasim rested, he created the mountains for his bed.
He caressed the earth, making vegetation, to rest his head.
As the first day passed, Aiskasim realized he was alone.
His tears became the rains that fertilized the land.
Attempting to make a companion, failures became animals.
He was pleased with his creation yet wished to share it with another.
At the end of the second day, Aiskasim tore himself in half.
One took the name Asha and the other, Kasim.

The twins decided that their creation was not finished.
Asha created the sun, to replace the egg, and called its time Day.
Kasim created the moon in response and called its time Night.
Asha dictated which creatures roamed during the Day.
Kasim dictated which creatures roamed during the Night.
Because of the sun's light, Asha became bright and warm.
Kasim's lack of light turned him dark and cold as the night.
The bright, warm, dark and cold became the seasons.

At long last, the twins decided they were lonely still.
They made creatures in their image, one light and one dark.
Asha and Kasim became one and conceived their new creations.
They breathed in to their creature's lungs, giving them life.
Asha gave them the ability to love, to feel and to think.
Kasim gave them courage, strength and instinct.
Their creatures returned their god's love.
They were pleased with their new creation and named them Jehkuhn.
Ancient Jehkhun
They can see both deities and feel their presence.
It speaks of creating things out of love, selflessly, without asking much in return. Unconditional love and duty to those who are dependent on their creators.
