Poetry: Creation of Wyrmool

So this pertains to a novel idea I have. It's the creation myth of the world of Wyrmool.

Sucky names abound? Feel free to critique it. ^^




Creation of Wyrmool

Once emptiness endured
Between the stars and lifeless planets

Freeg, sister dragon of ice
Jaeptu, brother dragon of illusion
Settled
Before Chronay, horse that never halts
Played to his imagination
By their crystal breaths, their grandiose tricks
A sphere where
Little things grew
Thriving on their own will

Chronay neighed enthusiastically
Calling the rest of the gods:

Geodann, island-backed turtle of earth
Aquima, shark-specter of water
Peratur, small sparrow of weather
Flietr, winged snake of air
Weldin, lion of glittering, jeweled mane

Excited Chronay proclaimed
“Make this world true!”

Jaeptu kept vision intact
As the other gods worked:

Weldin took one of each of his jewels
And crushed in ferocious paws

Geodann swallowed the pieces
And spat out an encrusted sphere

Freeg breathed on the sphere
And coated in frost

Chronay galloped around with the Sun
And created day and night

Peratur soared across the globe
And formed weather

Aquima wept on the sphere
And made water

Flietr flapped his wings
And birthed winds

Where Peratur and Chronay influenced
Melted frost to land
Floating on Aquima’s oceans and lakes
Moving to Flietr’s gales
Freeg’s icy plains cooled the mass
As Weldin’s wealth gave it charm
To Geodann’s crusty foundation

They were proud of the work
They found it good

Jaeptu then said
“Now to make little things”

Jaeptu kept vision intact
As the other gods worked:

Geodann drooled tiny shells
Aquima gifted the shells life by water
Chronay gave the shells time
Crafting the first plant seeds
Peratur spread the seeds ‘round
As Flietr taught the seeds
To spread themselves by the winds
Once mature
Weldin had another idea
And told some to be charming
Tasty in their fruits and seeds
Things would come to eat their loins
And do the work instead

At Weldin’s teachings
Freeg froze Aquima’s tears
Each tear was different
Spawning a different animal
And eventually the first human
They all shivered and shuddered
So Peratur took some of Weldin’s jewels
Imbued them heat
To make hearts
And stuck them inside bodies
They had no personality
So Jaeptu and Chronay worked together
Turned Illusions to Dreams
Turned Dreams to Realities
Turned Realities to Objects
Turned Objects into organs
And stuck them inside bodies

All the animals and humans
Acted the same
So Peratur changed some organs’
Size, function, presence
Created personality and purpose

The sphere was flat
So Geodann raised mountains
As Jaeptu and Chronay worked together
To make fiery volcanoes, alive and dead
Weldin crashed through some mountains
Revealing rich caverns
Freeg drooled into freezing waters
Coasting by as glaciers
Geodann raised cliffs
And in anger of imperfection
Burst crag spires from one ocean floor
Aquima, startled
Forced the ocean to become violent
Creating Craggle-Tooth Ocean
The “Sinking Shores”

Proud of their work
All decided to live in it
Chronay picked a space
Uninhabited
Away from the mainland
Across Craggle-Tooth Ocean
Constructed a shrine
To reside in peace

Chronay said
“This world shall be called Wyrmool
“In honor of Freeg and Jaeptu”
All roared in pleasure
As Wyrmool was perfect in their creation
