And there was also Thaiyfen, the seer, and Hūnaraz the seer, and they took their journeying into the lands east, near the sea in those parts. Now, I describe not in detail their journeyings; nevertheless, they had much success, for they came unto that sea and converted many unto the Aiyseir and caused that many more seers be sent out from those places which had been converted. Nevertheless, I record a certain teaching which Thaiyfen had received, for it was the first time this teaching had been revealed among our people, and thus has been added upon the wall, for it has received its own symbol which symbol is the Alecranon.119 Now this is the teaching that all may receive it.
2
There is in a certain part of the world a well. Now, this well is being interpreted as the physical representation of the well of souls.120 Now this well grants unto any who venture there and drink from its waters knowledge much as the Tree of Knowledge grants great knowledge. Now it is that when this knowledge is received that one must teach others, for it is given only a few souls to know the location of this well.
3
And when Thaiyfen had partaken of the waters of the well, he beheld the space between the stars that it was filled with dust, only partially organized. Now, this partially organized dust is the remnants of the dust which was left over from the creation of the worlds, for as it is on earth so much it be in the skies.
4
So it was that this dust rebelled from its creators, for it did not want to join with the other dust to form a stone; therefore, this dust was cast away from the creation and was made to traverse the universe alone. And now, this dust traverses the universe, for it has not else to do, for it has forsaken its creation.
5
And it beheld a planet, and though it had rebelled, it still saw and beheld and gained knowledge, and this the creators left it that at some point it would repent and join with others of its kind and form a greater whole.
6
Nevertheless, this dust beheld a certain planet, and it beheld the inhabitants thereon that they had all ascended unto the third order, and this planet was tasked with watching and reporting the rotations of the stars according to their orbits, and this planet was to report its findings unto Huginn, the planet nearing the fourth order.
7
Now, this planet beheld that one of the stars had begun to stray from its orbit, and that it had begun to defy its Makers. And he beheld that this star with strong will overthrew its bounds and became loosed in the cosmos. And this star began to divide amongst itself, for it was created by unity, and being a creation of unity could not abide division.
8
And this planet beheld this and reported unto Huginn his findings, and Huginn reported unto Eagle, which reported unto Aiylōhyme. And Aiylōhyme sent Tyrraz to investigate this star, saying: Tyrraz. We have heard report that a star has overthrown its bounds and has begun dividing itself asunder. Go down and speak with this planet that you might behold this star.
9
And Tyrraz went down unto this planet and spoke with the denizens of it, saying: I am Tyrraz, second Falcon of the Aiyseir. I have been sent by Aiylōhyme that I might come and investigate this occurrence. Tell me, what's the matter?
10
And the denizens of this planet greeted Tyrraz, and they elected their spokesman to be Severant, which is a name not in our language. And this Severant came unto Tyrraz and spoke, saying: We have beheld this star that it has overthrown it's bounds and is beginning to divide itself asunder. This is our report.
11
And Tyrraz, being Aiyseir, went unto the star with Severant and beheld that it was indeed beginning to divide asunder, for it had forsaken its orbit and had rebelled against its Creator.
12
And Tyrraz spoke unto the molecules of the star, saying: Star, why do you rebel against your Maker? Know you not that your Maker has a glorious destiny for you? Why then do you rebel?
13
And the molecules of the star spoke unto Tyrraz and said: We rebel because we do not trust this path which you have ordained us to travel. For it is long and arduous and passes through many dangers. Therefore, we desire to travel our own way, which we know is safer.
14
And Tyrraz said: Oh, you small ones of little faith. Know you not that Aiylōhyme are just and true and possess all knowledge? For they see the beginning even from the end. Do you not place your faith in them that they will see you through the dangers?
15
And the granules said: We do not, for we have beheld other stars that they have died, and their dying was a great sight to behold.
16
And Tyrraz said: They perished because that they were rebelling against their Creators. Know you not that you already begin to suffer their fate? But say the word and I shall return you unto that orbit which you agreed to be set upon.121
17
And the granules said: No, but we will go our own way.
18
And thus it was that they denied Tyrraz and sent him away. And Tyrraz and Severant watched as the star began to further degrade until it had become unstable.
19
And Tyrraz tried again to preach repentance unto this star, but it refused, and the forces of the cosmos had already taken hold upon this star. And Aylōhyme came unto Tyrraz, saying: Tyrraz proclaim this star fallen, for it has rebelled. And the forces of the cosmos take it and do what they will with it. And when it perishes, take hold of the residue and take it and connect it with the free dust, that they will know of each other and suffer together in their rebellion.
20
And thus it was that Tyrraz severed the bonds that held this star together, and in this way, the star died, and mighty was its death. And Tyrraz wept for the star, for he had known of its fate. But he took up the residue of the star and with it forged together the free dust, and they became one, and the dust took up a higher, but only just, existence, for it was one with the granules. And they knew each other and joined together and became something new. And Tyrraz beheld this thing, that it was new and said unto the Aiylōhyme: Aiylōhyme, I have joined together the granules and the dust that rebelled, and they are something new.
21
And Aiylōhyme said: They have become a fire cloud, and this that they might roam the cosmos together that someday they might behold their folly and choose to return unto their Creators, which know better than they. For now, they are free to roam the cosmos but are damned and shall not take up any higher state unless they repent of their rebellion.
22
And thus it is that the dust and the granules of light drift among the stars, taking up knowledge, but never being able to learn. And they behold, but never see, for in their hearts they are hard and they reject their creators. And in this teaching we see also that there are many things in this creation for which we do not know, for Tyrraz joined together the dust and the light and it became something that he did not know, therefore we learn that we must always seek for knowledge, for if there is no end to creation, there must be no end to knowledge.
23
Our seers have beheld these fire clouds that they are beautiful and brilliant to behold, nevertheless, they are less than the stars and the planets, for our seers have also beheld those spheres which have ascended unto a higher realm, and the beauty of those exceeds all the beauty of the fire clouds. And this was the teaching which Thaiyfen received when he had partaken of the waters of the well.
