في البداية لم يكن هناك سوى النار. كان هذا نور الخالق نفسه. كانت قوية.

ألقى شاكرته في أعماق العالم. أعطيت جميع حيواناته الغرض ، لتحقيقه بدلا منه.

PAGANISM / BELIEF

 

In ancient Hayawanism, the creation of the universe was foretold as the song of Ashra; the expurgation of the omnipotent lord. He carried seven chakras in his body, each with a different purpose; the Crown, the Eye, the Throat, the Heart, the Chest, the Sacral, and the Root. 

 

Once the omnipotent lord set his design into motion, His body split into a hundred segments and seven energies. The segments of the Creator came to be the Aengul and the Daemon, whereas the seven energies slept in the bowels of the cosmos.

 

Hayawanism spread across the world after the first awakening of the seven energies, causing their manifestation into the mortal realm. A story whispered unto a campfire turned into parables scribed by prophets, until the pantheon of Hayawanism culminated amongst pagan tribesmen. These pagan cultists painted murals and carved shrines to honour the great chakras. 

 

The followers of Hayawanism believe that the world is a playground set in a universal loop, to allow for His children to dominate and influence; the seven chakras are first sons and daughters of the omnipotent lord. 

 

As of the modern age, Hayawanism has become less profound outside of mere ancient shrines or invoked large statues, but the essence of the chakras have touched the world once again, and they have awakened for a second time.

غنى الخالق مثله في الأعماق الفارغة ، حيث بدأ الضوء في التحطم في الكون.

ومع ذلك ، بدأ جسد الخالق في الانقسام ، إلى سبع طاقات مع قدرته المطلقة.

THE FIRST SONG

Song of Ashra

 

A voice mellowed into the depths of the cosmos, one sang by the omnipotent lord. He brooded for many days, contemplating his vast design. The lord creator thought of the design of man, and that of trees. He understood the height of mountains, but did not know how tall they should fall. The questions bequeathed by the creator were all sung in a gentle euphony that permeated His godliness into flickering stars and gusting winds. However, the energies of his chakra powered his true design. 

 

The Crown ensured stability upon the world He would make, and that it would be filled with people of love and affection. 

 

The Eye endowed all creatures with knowledge and wisdom, that of the all-knowing lord. However, this wisdom brought discord and strife into living creatures, who wanted to use it for their own demise.

 

The Throat ensured all would find innovation in trade, so that their gifts of architecture could be spread onto others. It brought the systems of economy, and that of politics. However, it powered voices, to speak on truths and lies, that of uncertainty and of myths. 

 

The Heart brought peace into all that lived, so that even the most vilest creature would be able to rest. It created vast illusions of the outlines of the world, to let people know that it was the working of the omnipotent lord.

 

The Chest ensured that all memories either prevailed or faded; everything would flow onwards, and never backwards. Histories would speak on the past, whereas mediocrity deigned into the future.  

 

The Sacral gave people the desire to speak of stories, so that the omnipotent lord could spread his name across all living creatures. He proposed adventures, so that others could understand the breadth of the world.

 

The Root sowed fear into the hearts of men, to ensure they feared the omnipotent lord; all creatures were filled with a greed to survive. 

 

Upon the eve of His creation, the omnipotent lord broke into segments that were of his nature; ruin, order, purity, nature, innovation and etcetera. However, the chakras of the omnipotent lord fled into the graves of the cosmos, to sleep until awakened by those who touched their energies.

عندما نزل الأول من الاثنين ، جاء أحدهما على شكل قرد والآخر على شكل فيل.

ومع ذلك ، فقد ارتكب أحدهما إثمًا على الآخر ، لذلك لعنه الأخ فخجل الأخ فطلب المغفرة.

THE FIRST SINNER

Parable of the Elephant

 

As the light of the decaying lord was tethered by seams of energies, the first of the two chakras made their descent into the mortal realm, that of the Crown and the Root. They were mirages of shattered flames, one that withheld an omnipotence from the lord creator. For many years, the chakras manifested only as undetailed embers that were unable to extinguish. Old tribesmen formed shrines surrounding these two kindled flames, both that lacked idea or purpose.

 

Upon the second coming of the ages, the descendants knew how to build mighty kingdoms and how to secure food and land. The Crown was no longer a flame, but now stood as the apparition of a monkey, swinging across trees and gazing at the breadth of the world. He spoke to simple-minded descendants, and endowed them with emotions that were untouched. He slept upon a perch of peaches to bring nightfall, and moved the seas to give them better access to other wayfaring lands. 

 

Sadly, the Root did not understand the beauty in descendants, and saw to abuse his power. He came forth as a triumphant elephant, and trampled on those who did not befit his jewels and his power. In truth, he was fearful of descendants, and could only see greed in their eyes; those who desired to steal his omnipotent flame.

 

The descendants saw the Monkey as a tutor, who wanted to nurture them. He began to overshadow his brother, the Elephant, who people leered at with fear. As the Monkey slept on his divine perch, to blot the sun and bring nightfall to descendants, the Elephant bore a shroud of darkness and held a cutting-knife.

 

He chopped the Monkey into four pieces, and scattered them across the world, so that he could no longer influence the mortal realm. Thus, the first sinner was born. 

 

As fear culminated in the hearts of the descendants, the Elephant came to realise his divine mistake, and returned the Monkey to normal. In the heart of this brewing discord, another chakra awoke in the bowels of the cosmos. With decrepit movements, the Eye appeared from under the crust of the world, and manifested as the Owl.

The nature of the Celestial Lords is mostly left undiscovered outside of the parables.

In order to understand their existence, the ‘chakras’ are manifestations of the omnipotent lord, and appear in the world as animals.

PARABLE OF CREATION Celestial Lords   The Monkey and the Elephant descended onto the mortal realm. Whereas the Monkey helped others, the Elephant was too stricken by greed and power. In his envy, the Elephant cut the Monkey into four pieces, and scattered them across the world, before he was forgiven for his sin.   The Owl came from the discord of their fight, and broke out from the earth. He was witnessed by the Elephant and the Monkey. Whereas the Elephant accepted the Owl as a brother, the Monkey could feel something off about him, and knew that the Owl was up to no good.   The Giraffe appeared from the trades made by the three celestial lords, his neck winding out from a cosmic portal. He was neutral across all three, and only wished to enjoy the trade of mortal descendants.   The Panda manifested from the bandits that rose into the world, fighting to steal from the merchants under the Giraffe. He protected the merchants and took in all mortals, in hopes of ensuring peace lasted. And in his rest, the Panda slept upon grass, witnessed by unruly gardeners.    The Tanuki was once a star, but was shot out from the skies and fell into the world. She existed after men began to hide their wealth that could not be looted by bandits due to the protection of the Panda. Her followers began to adventure the world, in order to find all long lost relics of old.    The Pig was always, but he never knew when to step in. He existed in the past, the present and the future - but where would he land?
PARABLE OF WISDOM Lord Eye   As the Owl sat upon his golden perch, the celestial lord stared down at a travelling scholar. He flew down, and greeted the scholar. “What begets you, to wander this world?”   In response, the scholar answered. “Great Owl, I only wish to see the fruit of this world.”    The Owl learned of mortal desire, and their wish to learn more.	PARABLE OF CONFLICT Lord Crown   The Monkey wrangled a peach from his sacred tree, seated cross-legged. However, the villainous Owl came to disturb his feast.  “This tree is mine!”   With a whip of his golden staff, the Monkey sent the Owl plummeting off the tree. “Find your own tree!”   The Monkey learned of his brother's nature, and the conflict that was surmised.
PARABLE OF BROTHERHOOD Lord Root   The Elephant trampled over the sand, adorning a satchel of jewels. Upon his journey, the Elephant came across his brother, the Owl.    He extended his trunk, and offered the Owl a red jewel. “Brother of mine, take this as a gift.”   The Owl curved his beak into the jewel, and accepted the token. “Thanks!”   The Elephant learned of brotherhood, and came to respect the Owl as his own.	PARABLE OF TRADE Lord Throat   The Giraffe leered at the price of a merchant’s jewel, as he then deigned to a trade. “How about this, for that?”   He removed another two jewels that seemed to be slightly worn out. The merchant examined the two jewels, and then looked at his singular one. “Lord Giraffe, I accept your trade.”   With a smile, the Giraffe exchanged the jewels for his own, and wandered off into the distance.    The Giraffe learned of mortal nature, and on how to win their hearts.
PARABLE OF PROTECTION Lord Heart   The Panda surveyed the scorching desert, covered in a thick fur of sweat. He used his bamboo-stick to walk around the treacherous path.    On his journey, the Panda came across a pleading man who thirsted for water. “Please, give me something to drink!” In order to help the man, the Panda brought the tip of the bamboo-stick towards the lips of the man, as water began to gush out from it.   The Panda learned to help others, and that the world was filled with hardship.	PARABLE OF ADVENTURE Lord Sacral   The Tanuki held a treasure-map in her fluffy palm, being followed by other like-minded adventures. She noticed a cross on the sandy floor, and conjured a shovel to dig. “Dig with me, everyone!” As all the adventures began to grove the sand away, the shovel of the Tanuki landed onto a wooden surface. She ripped the treasure-chest out, and pried it open to find numerous jewels and riches within. She divided the plunder amongst them.    The Tanuki learned of the secrets in the world, and that sharing was a part of the adventure.
PARABLE OF HISTORY Lord Chest   The Pig opened a rift into the history of a dreaded war, and stared at the bloodshed. He wanted to change the history of these unfortunate people, and so delved back further, to speak to the King of the past. “Hey! Be careful of those guys! They’re going to war you in a few years!”   As the king listened, he began to prepare for the war, and he won. The Pig moved back into the present, only to find that a different kingdom entirely had vanished, one who lost to the kingdom he warned. “Oh no… what have I done?”    The Pig learned to grieve, and that tampering with time was but a fool's act. He called for the Monkey and the Owl, who used their powers to reset time to how it was.

Though the Monkey soon found it within him to forgive the Elephant, the murderer could not. No matter what he did, his hands were eternally stained with that first sin.

[Werew0lf 12005]

The Owl sat upon a golden perch, staring out towards the world. He did not forget his own sin, but seemed to embrace his mistake. 

 

Upon turning around, the Owl leered at his numerous relics, before noticing his golden mask had vanished. "Where is this?!"

Somewhere, along the galaxy sky, did the eyes of a young and sickly boy dream with gaze open as they traced the luminous dots above.

 

There was the GREAT OWL, within the stars, inside that awoken dream, chased forever into the night. So the sickly boy, went back to sleep to wander an endless cosmos.
