In the beginning, there was nothing. Then came forth together at one moment the god Cardė and the god Gacatė. The two gods stayed long together, sharing many thoughts and hopes, until they decided to each build a world and to bring forth life upon it.

Cardė brought forth upon his world oceans and lands, days and nights, plants and beasts. The sun of Cardė's world had just risen on the thirteenth day when Cardė desired to create a supreme beast to rule and protect the domain of Cardė and all the life therein. However, Cardė chose to first visit his companion Gacatė, and so Cardė went.

Gacatė greeted Cardė with delight and invited Cardė to see his world. Cardė then beheld the world of Gacatė, and this is what he beheld: The world had two continents, split across by sea. The sea was dark, and dreadful sea beasts cried up from the waters into the endless night. The wind wailed and blew shadowed clouds over the two continents. The beasts were foul and hideous, and had no mercy on their fellow creatures. The plants oozed poison and blackened the rotten grounds below.

And Cardė spake, saying, "Thy world is wholly unlike mine. Come, see thou this land of mine." And thus, Gacatė went to the realm of Cardė and beheld it, and this is what he beheld: One large landmass connected all the plants and beasts of the world. Along the coast were many sweet fruits and calm beaches. The fair beasts ran freely across the open grassy plains in peace, and they attacked none of their fellow beasts. And the plants grew forth strong from the soil, giving life to the beasts. And the rain did calmly pour down to purify the land, and there were long beautiful rivers and caressing waterfalls.

And at that moment Gacatė knew envy, and he desired the world of his friend. And Gacatė spake, saying, "My Brother, verily, thy making is better than mine. I plead you, help me to repair my creation, so that the beasts and plants there will be happy, and the land beautiful."

And Cardė, being compassionate and merciful, spake, saying, "Indeed, thou art my friend, and I shall help thee so that we be both the guardians of a wholesome place." Thus spake Cardė.

And Cardė descended upon the world of Gacatė and began to make pure that land. Gacatė then went to the other side of his planet and then modelled after the work of Cardė. But then, Gacatė rested his weary arms and thought terrible thoughts.

And in his thinking, Gacatė chose to forsake his creation and to invade the land of Cardė, and so he conquered Cardė's world. Gacatė corrupted the wills of Cardė's beasts, and many resisted, yet the will of Gacatė was strong, and so Gacatė had an army waiting in the heart of the Cardė's domain.

And Cardė, his day's work done, searched for Gacatė to witness what work he had done, yet he could not find his friend. Cardė worried for his companion as he returned back to his own world. But when he did arrive, he saw that the land was changed, and many beasts had died. Cardė in rage did lament for the suffering of the lives that he had made as he returned to the center of his land.

And Cardė was surprised, and he wondered why his friend did betray him, but then the answer came unto him. Cardė spake, saying, "Gacatė, I gladly give to thee this one chance to return unto me that which is mine." Thus spake Cardė.

And Gacatė spoke no word, and he surrendered not. With the will of his mind, the beast army under the total control of Gacatė laid siege upon Cardė and inflicted many blows upon him. And Cardė became angry, and he did attempt to fight, yet his own creation bested him, and he was forced to become an exile from his own world.

Cardė returned to the world of Gacatė and immediately began repairing that terrible domain, and in ten days, his new world was transformed to be similar in fashion to the world that Cardė had initially created. But Gacatė had made demons and other fell servants for him in those ten days, and they brought tidings of the rebuilding of Cardė to Gacatė, and Gacatė became angry.

Gacatė rushed from the land that he had stolen and descended upon the new world of Cardė. And the two gods struggled, yet Cardė had done away with all the fell beasts that Gacatė had made, and so now the new beasts, under the will of Cardė alone, came to protect Cardė. Yet, the struggle of the two gods endured, and eventually all the land was laid bare and all living things perished in the fray to protect Cardė.

The gods then fought through the cosmos toward the world that Gacatė had created, yet this time Cardė had an advantage: Gacatė was already very weakened from the struggle and Cardė was fresh, because Cardė's courageous beasts had taken many of the blows. As Gacatė's strength weakened, his beasts rebelled against their tyrranical master more and more, and Gacatė met his end. Cardė imprisoned Gacatė in a great cell and cast him out of the world. And Gacatė drifted far away, yet he was not satisfied and his desire endured, and so he broke free from his cell...
