Gradually, writing has worked its way into the Buburok’un lands. It has been written on clay tablets, to be fired and saved for future generations.

In 1600 BCE, many of the greatest and most important individuals in the lands met at Ilmenbuisun to literally set in stone their faith.

Over the past centuries, as the faith has been passed down orally through generations, its stories have diverged, and this conference will end the diversion and create, once and for all, the Nlahun- Earth’s Word.

^{I’ve also included footnotes where they might be needed to understand some stuff! :D}

a. Frosa (Nothingness)

Before Life, before Creatures, and Humans, and Small Ones^[1], there were just two things. Aye and Iko, invisible and indivisible beings. They were what populated the sky, without them there would be Frosa- nothingness.

Aye and Iko are opposites. They dislike each other, and upon contact with the other form, will be repelled so violently that they create bursts of light and sound.

However, they also like the other forms of themselves. Aye is attracted towards other Aye, and Iko to Iko. In time, much larger clouds began to form, this time due to the substances attracting, and eventually centralised as two giant forms- Nlaye and Tobiko^[2].

b. Akoko (Beginnings)

Nlaye and Tobiko started out as passive beings. They were merely hubs of Aye and Iko, and served little purpose. They simply floated around alongside the other Aye and Iko, reacting as their smaller counterparts normally would.

However, that was until the Raiko.

Nlaye and Tobiko were slowly gravitating towards each other, unable to be stopped.

As they approached, the sky began to turn a brilliant white, and had it happened today, it would have blinded every animal on earth.

Their impact was that of 500 lightning strikes, stronger than anything that had ever (or will ever) happen. There was so much force involved in the strike that it birthed the living Nlaye and Tobiko, transforming them into sentient beings- capable of creating, well, everything.

c. Otli (Origins)

Nlaye and Tobiko were immediately at all out war with one another.

They were powerful enough to be able to control the smaller Aye and Iko, and morphed them, launching hordes of each being’s substance at the other.

Nlaye eventually found that he could set together groups of Aye, and used it to form the first things- the Ira^[3]. From there, he worked to build the largest and most expansive project in history: the Bati.

Tobiko would not let Nlaye create, however. He built the Mi^[4] up from the Bati, swamping it in liquid and forcing Nlaye to continue to build up the Bati, to force away the sea. The Bati, made of Aye, and sea, made of Iko, continued to push off one another, and as Nlaye and Tobiko continued to forcefully push away one another, it became the source for the brightest light since the first impact.

[1] All living things, animals, humans, and bugs.
[2] Greater Aye and Greater Iko.
[3] Stars.
[4] Sea.

TL;DR: At first there was just two substances, Aye and Iko, who reacted violently towards the other. Eventually, enough Aye and Iko built up in centralised places to form the two largest ‘beings,’ Nlaye and Tobiko. Eventually, the two crashed into each other, causing a reaction that turned themselves into living things. They used their own substances (Aye for Nlaye and Iko for Tobiko) to try to destroy the other. Eventually, Nlaye got the idea to make stuff out of Aye, so he did, creating the stars. Then he went a bit further, creating a more complicated thing, the Bati. Tobiko, angry at this, created his own substance- Mi, or water. It reacted so violently with the Bati that it caused a bright light to be emitted. This light keeps getting emitted as Nlaye and Tobiko keep adding to the Bati and Mi. That’s how the sun was created, and how it emits light!

So yeah, I also haven’t technically developed a writing system yet, but I’m working on it! This is written in the future, anyway. Just wanted to post it!
