When the flames came out of the fires in the dark night the people fell like stones and joined the earth.
Afterwards in the great scrolls it was written that a lake arose in the sky and the mountains flew like clouds.
Those who remained knelt before the great healer, a man with white flowing hair and copper woman breast-plates, and received the blessing of the future.
Golden grains of the earth filled the communal baskets of the dreaming woman.
