where all races of Man, 

Sat together within, 

- He grew with great strength, 

And the Men took sight, 

And they could only see darkness, 

for too great was the light, 

- So they rose against the one blessed, 

in intent to end his life, 

But the blade turned around, 

And the village was pierced by the knife, 

- So he hated his name, 

"One" he cursed, 

for they conspired as one, 

and his sorrow almost burst, 

- So Corcei he was called, 

For blessed he still believed, 

But he knew not yet how great, 

Not even the two perceived, 

- He walked among the mountains, 

And shone among the stars, 

He swam with the deeps, 

and cried for the garden's scars, 

- And after many days alone, 

he ventured back among Man, 

To begin the work, 

that his fathers had planned, 

- And he came upon Hitoy, 

The Village of Fire, 

A phoenix called Molte' they called god, 

and for the two there was no desire, 

- So Corcei climbed, 

to the nest of the beast, 

To kill the god of fire, 

To make the two a sacrifice for their peace, 

- And Corcei attacked Molte', 

For many days they fought, 

But they were equal in strength, 

And the victor could not be sought, 

- So Corcei prayed, 

to the two in the sky, 

For the way to defeat Molte', 

And save the Hitoy from his eye, 

- So they opened his spirit, 

and spoke to the soul of the beast, 

"No longer shall any man 

make your feast," 

- "For you will walk among them, 

for all your days, 

Or until the two shall look upon you, 

With loving gaze," 

- And so the phoenix Molte' became a man, 

one of ordinary strength and size, 

And he was sworn to the two, 

And all of the village opened their eyes... 

- SO ENDS PART 1 OF THE TALE...
