In the beginning there was water. And then there was life. The end is the new beginning. Long synopsis: In the beginning there was water. In the land of the beginnings spirits mingled with the souls. We played much because we were free. And we sorrowed much because there were always those amongst us who had just returned, or went to the world of the Living. And when it was time for us to go, wondrous spirits danced around us to the music of gods protecting our souls across the interspaces and preparing us for existence. Each one of us made the passage alone. Alone, we had to survive the crossing.
