The Canticle of the Worlds

The Red world was a world of fire and hot to behold.

The Orange world was a place of moltan metal, also hot.

The Yellow world was a world of dust and sand.

The Green world was just right and home to all manner of plants.

The Blue world was a world of many waters.

The Indigo world was a world of Crystal and Jewels.

The Violet world was a world of Ice and Air and Cold.

And L’cn’Bok was pleased with the Green World,

For it had Granted more of its power

Than any of the others in the living form of plants.

And L’cn’Bok blessed the Green World

rising it above the others.

And L’cn’Bok was pleased with the Green World, for it had Granted more of its power than any of the others in the living form of plants. And L’cn’Bok blessed the Green World, rising it above the others.

And the Green World was pleased and created animals of all kinds that it might garner more pleasure.

The Blue World also created animals, similar to but not the same as the Green World.

The Red World was jealous and created the Mak-Ka-Ma, the creatures of living fire that would consume each other and all other things of the other worlds. Down it sent these creatures to the Green World to consume them, but L’cn’Bok intervened and cursed the Red World that it may never harm the creatures of the Green world without their permission.

The Blue world plead for her children as well, and L’cn’Bok was moved and heeded the cries of the Blue World, citing that the Mak-Ka-Ma or their ilk may never harm the children of the waters without the permission of the creatures of the Green World.

The Blue World begged that it be the permission of her own children but L’cn’Bok would not hear it.

The Orange World created the Mak-Ka-San, beings of fire and earth to create great and mighty temples to L’cn’Bok that they might worship him. L’cn’Bok found this worship odd, and demanded that they worship Action and Reaction instead. And they did so.

L’cn’Bok turned to the Yellow World and asked, “What will you make of your world?”

“Nothing” the Yellow World said.

L’cn’Bok was about to curse the Yellow World but the Yellow World said, “I am the reflection of the Suns. In my vastness, in my emptiness, there is a reflection of what came before.”

L’cn’Bok pondered this riddle and said no more.

L’cn’Bok turned to the Indigo world and asked, “What will you make of your world?”

The Indigo world replied that it did not know, for it was afraid to make a race for fear it would displease L’cn’Bok, but it was also afraid to do nothing for fear that it would displease him.

L’cn’Bok laughed and then asked what he should do then.

The Indigo world replied that it would simply do what the others did.

L’cn’Bok said that so it would be, and that thus the Indigo world and her children reflected the nature of the other worlds; each a color according to its own kind.

L’cn’Bok turned to the Violet world of Ice, and L’cn’Bok saw that it too, had quietly made the Mak-Ka-Fa, creatures of ice.

L’cn’Bok asked what they were doing and Violet said nothing.

L’cn’Bok grew angry because the Mak-Ka-Fa would not answer his questions, neither would the Violet world. L’cn’Bok could not understand, but he decided to take no chances and so cursed the Mak-Ka-Fa to be cursed like unto the Mak-Ka-Ma.

Still the Violet world said nothing.

Grunting in annoyance, L’cn’Bok returned to his slumber for a time and thus ended the first turning.
