In the beginning there were two lovers. This couple loved each other because they worked hand in hand. The woman was Motom and the man was Tamot. Motom was the mother of the universe; she loved to create. Tamot was the destroyer; he broke Motom's creations. Despite this, they loved each other and were content with life.

One day Motom decided to secretly make something special for Tamot to impress him. She made emotions. Until that day they only knew love for each other. After she finished she formed a gigantic ball of rock which she covered with water. She made a small piece of land that rose above the water. She called it Dwilight. She also made a large orb of fire which she placed in the sky. Then she beckoned Tamot and they stared at the fire orb drop below sea line of the horizon.

As the orb of fire, Motom called sun, went, away darkness was slowly covered the two lovers. Quickly Motom unveiled a small box containing her gifts for Tamot. On the outside of the box seven figures stood. Opening the box Tamot was shocked. He began to sense things within him. He was confused as he looked into his lover's eyes.

After the gift they both went away. Tamot wanted to destroy Dwilight, as it was his purpose in life. As he began to prepare, Motom held him back. She felt emotions of compassion towards her creation. No longer should he destroy things she created she decied - they would keep them all. She felt regret at letting him destroy her creations. As Motom re-examined Dwilight, Tamot felt angry. He felt a destructive urge as was his purpose in life. He grabbed the box in which she had given him feelings and threw it at Dwilight. Motom saw it falling and she raced after it. She caught it just before it shattered upon the ground. Then it happened.

Some time ago Borric, who was then Lord of Rye, was visited by an old man. The hermit refused to give his name to Borric and one of Borric’s guards tried to remove him from the court. The guard was struck down with one blow, after which the old hermit walked towards Borric. Borric could smell the hermit before he even was half way the court. The smell could kill a man if he wanted. The hermit threw old book to Borric after he turned around. As he walked through the door he said that they would meet again.

Tamot crept behind Motom and pierced her back. Motom felt the pain, the only time she would feel it. She fell on the ground of Dwilight and summoning her last strength she turned around. She looked at Tamot and she forgave him. She was the one to blame. As Tamot looked at her he broke into tears. He never felt so lonely as when he killed his lover.

Borric, first upset by the insulting appearance of the hermit, refused to look into the book. But after time his curiosity became to great and he looked into it. He could not read much of it, as if the words didn’t allow him to read them. After some time he could read the first pages which told him the tale of the beginning. In time more and more pages “let” him read them. Here is a collection of the stories he was able to recover.

As Tamot cried beside Motom's body, he knew what must be done. He would destroy Dwilight with his lover within it. He would destroy the blame from everything he knew. As he flew through the sky to destroy it all, his tears were scattered throughout Dwilight's sky. The tears slowly started to shine and became the stars we know today.

As Tamot turned around he looked at Dwilight. What he saw made him shiver of fear. The blood from his lover had reached the box in her hands.

The seven figures, four females and three males, were able to stop him. Their names were:

They worked together to stop Tamot from destroying Dwilight. They kept him, their father, on his knees as they looked at Motom, their mother.
