The last dragon climbed far into the sky to become a star of sapphire blue, shining brightly above the island. One dragon fell into a deep slumber and became the forests.

One dragon stooped low and became the lakes, and scattered its scales to create the rain. One dragon lifted its gaze to the sky and became the mountains. One dragon sank into the sea and became the land. The dragons swam to the center of the ocean, and there they began to transform into an island. It rushed out in streams to create the sky and the oceans, and the dragons swam away. The dragons opened their mouths as if to answer, but from their mouths poured water instead of words. One day, the people began to wonder why their world had no beginning or end, so they asked the dragons. In that world, there was only eternity, and a sun that burned without beginning or end.Īnd because there was only timeless eternity, nothing was ever lost.yet nothing was ever gained. The world was nothing but white light, inhabitated by one people and five dragons. The Tale of the Five tells of the creation of the world as we know it.
