How the Islands were formed

by Jeff

Haring Manaul was once a powerful king who ruled the creatures of the universe. Until he became ruthless and greedy; eventually neglecting his duty to create and preserve order.

The forces of the universe finally decided to punish the incorrigible king. He was banished to the forbidding realm of endless seas and skies.

After ages of hovering and soaring, Manaul eventually grew tired of flying. His mighty wings were searing from pain, his beak was rattling achingly, and his talons were limping and almost numbed.

The banished king knew he needed some land—in this endless realm, however, land was nowhere.

He thought of a big idea.

He mustered some more energy and flew to the Sky. His innate shrewdness then came to action; he said to the Sky: "I heard the Sea is thinking of a clever way to conquer you—the Sea is planning to rise up and drown you—be wary." Of course, the Sky was enraged as he told Manaul: "Wretched Sea! Then I shall throw rocks and boulders and mountains to conquer its waters!"

Manaul then rushed excitedly to the Sea and announced the Sky's "evil" plan: "The Sky told me he shall throw rocks, boulders, and mountains onto you to prove his power over your waters!" The Sea went berserk—it almost boiled.

The war of the Sea and Sky began rather quickly and violently.

At last, clever Manaul finally found land.
