MUN

The Sècund, now known as the Jólian gods, named after the mountain

on which they reside, now ruled all the universe, after usurping control

from the egg-hatched gods, the Fúrst, and denying the subsequent

generation of gods, the Lest, any power or influence whatsover—

being stuffed deep in the earth will teach them to exist!

One day, while the noble madam, Chôstes, was walking back to Jóli

picking up some groceries from the local ShopRite, flowing, all-circling

Òchen, being kept at bay by the great turtle and sky gelder Ürtaívur,

was lusting over the earth mother yet again.

As she was walking by the vulgar display of ecstasy, the truthful,

nude maiden had her foot grabbed tightly and accidentally by the

mighty ocean, colliding with round Ürt in the skirmish, causing

her lower tibia to split apart from the rest of her gorgeous leg,

tearing through her flesh, releasing streams of blood all around.

The goddess of justice's foot, once part of her nude body, now

separated from her and was flown away into the cosmos. The

nude, truthful goddess stared at the ocean and the mother earth

for a moment in silence, before finally, spitefully, speaking to

the two holy beings: “Oh, you stupid jackasses!”

Chôstes' severed foot flew into the starry heavens. It grew cold

and started to mutate. The blood of the wound started to coagulate;

the toes started to curl inward; the whole foot started to swell up.

Then, the mutilated foot transformed into something else: a new god,

known to the tongues of men as Mun.

Smaller in size to the Jólian leader, Sån, but still of grave importance

to everything, because of the fondling by Òchen on the original foot,

sane, polite Mun had control over the sea's tides.

As Sån held dominion over things related to the bright day, so did

Mun hold dominion over all about the dark night, including the night,

the stars, dreams and nightmares during the sleep, but funnily enough,

has no dominion over The Dark Knight.

Mun is quiet, polite, and rather timid. Even so, like many gods before

him, he lusted after dark, corpulent Ürt, barely masking his eros for

the mother earth who bears the weight of men, gods, and beasts, as

does the great eye Sån—that is, have lecherous feelings toward mother

Ürt, not bear the weight of men, gods, and beasts.

Although sharing opposing ends of the cosmos with the broad mother

between them some distance away, the sun and the moon both were

hostile towards one another, both wanting dark Ürt for themselves.

Worse of all, the round mother couldn't stay in one realm for too long.

All-seeing Sån produced an area of brightness and heat that, at first,

seems nice and warm, but if something like the grand mother that bears

all life stays there for too long, the result would be a great conflagration.

Pale, aloof Mun resided in a chilly domain of darkness, accompanied only

by the stars that were once the Égborn. If Ürt remained there more than

needed, she, and all life on her surface, would be encased in solid ice.

None knew what to do at first. Then, dark Ürt did something she never

did before and offer a suggestion to a situation involving gods being

lecherous towards her enormous mountains and vast valleys.

“I bring an answer to this quarrel between the bright, hot sun and

the cold, sane moon: I have this idea of four-legged creatures that

lack paws and feet, but instead have black, stone-like hooves used

for galloping across coarse terrain, like that on my surface. These

creatures have the ability to pull immensely weighty loads with

incredible speed and sensational strength.

I could create these creatures so that they could pull me around into

your respective fields and I could visit you both without having any

physical damage applied to me or those on my surface.”

Mun thought the idea was splendid; the great queen Sån wasn't too

fond of it, but—in an move uncharacteristic for her—felt it was a

compromise with which she could live.

And thus, the great mother earth created some horses with wheels

attached to their hooves to increase their already prodigious strength.

She, too, was attached to a set of wheels so her horses could pull

her through the cosmos from bright Sån and timid Mun and back again.

Sometimes, carnality would flow in the head of Mun as the enormous

mother earth drove by him, whether in front of the all-knowing sun or

directly behind the wide, life-bearing mother earth.

Nowadays, when humans witness the foot-born Mun, his normally

sane mind corrupted by desire, temporarily step in front of the sun,

it appears as a blinding eclipse, with the sun being covered by a

black disc and emitting a crown of shiny, pale rubies against a dark sky.

Whenever the moon gets directly behind Ürt, man can only see the result

at night, when the moon is out, but looking as though he has been bathing

in blood. To mannerly Mun himself, the event would look like an eclipse

in the earth sky, with the home of men appearing to be the black disc.

And thus did Mun join the pantheon of Mount Jóli, ruling the universe,

all of whom were content with absolutely everything—except for a sudden

recognition that made them discover that nothing was serving the gods above.
