Once there was a world without time. The world was nothing but white light, inhabited only by people and five dragons.

In that world, there was only eternity, and a sun that burned without beginning or end.

And because there was only timeless eternity, nothing was ever lost...yet nothing was ever gained

One day, the people began to wonder why their world had no beginning or end, so they asked the dragons.

The dragons opened their mouths as if to answer, but from their mouths poured water instead of words.

It rushed out in streams to create the sky and oceans, and the dragons swam away.

The dragons swam to the center of the ocean, and there they began to transform into an island.

One dragon sank into the sea and became land.

One dragon lifted it's gaze to the sky and became mountains.

One dragon stooped low and became lakes, and scattered it's scales to create rain.

One dragon fell into a deep slumber and became the forests.

The last dragon climbed far into the sky to become a star of sapphire blue, shining brightly above the island.

The people could not understand why the dragons had left,or why they had transformed.

Eventually, a lone youth decided to the island to seek the answers from the dragons them selves.

He donned a simple cloak, climbed into a simple boat, and cast off alone into the murky seas.

At last, guided by the light of the sapphire star, he reached the Island of the five.

Some time ed, and the youth returned.

"Did you speak with the dragons?" the people asked.

"Yes I spoke with them," he replied.

"Then tell us, why did they create the island?"

But the youth did not answer. Instead he reached into his cloak and pulled out five dragon scales, which he gave to the people.

And then, before anyone realized the youth disappeared.

The people left their white world and sailed across the ocean.

Using the five scales, they created their own lands, their own mountains, their own lakes, and their own forests.

Last of all they created a bright moon, so that the sapphire star, which had guided the youth during his voyage to seek the

The land grew large enough to obscure the sun, and day and night were born.

The mountains, lakes, and forests breathed together, and the seasons were born.

And thus time was also born.

Swept up in the almighty current of time, the people came to know death, but also came to know life.

Countless days and countless nights have ed since people first came to live on the lands they had created.

As time ed, they lost their memory of the five Dragons, and even the memory of how time itself had been born.

But deep in their hearts there dwelt a quiet knowledge of the Island of the Five, the most sacred place in the world, which to this day sleeps in the middle of the ocean, uninhabited by people, and unchanged by even the relentless flow of time.
