And that's it.
So here are eight sentences from my current WIP, A BIRD'S EYE VIEW. This is an excerpt from The Lore of Legends, an ancient collection of myths passed down from Keeper to Keeper. It is an oral tradition, there is no written record of any part of the Lore (until now, wink). Sahlaana is The Creator and Taijala is her daughter, Guardian of the Spirit.
One day the earth trembled with a mighty roaring from the beach.
A bear swam out of the sea and stood bellowing on the shore.
The people were afraid, the bear was fierce.
The gods were afraid, where had he come from?
Taijala, Sahlaana’s only daughter, decided to speak with the bear.
The bear was sad and angry because he had lost his mate, and he’d swum for many fathoms across the Endless Sea looking for her.
Taijala wanted to comfort the bear and lay with him.
Much appeased, the bear returned to his search.
ON FEB.25 I WAS AWARDED THE FOLLOWING SONG, WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY BASAN, INSPIRED BY THIS EXCERPT (teehee!):

This event triggered a rebellion among the gods, which resulted in the sundering of the land into the many islands that make up the setting of my story.
