BOOK II
THE DEIFICATION OF NADIE
One of the groups of humans was returning to their village
after guffawing and laughing at the misery of Stîf and Laîf
at the expense of the siblings. The group divulged the tale to
the other locals in the village, near the residents' square homes,
humble adobe abodes constructed out of bricks formed from
the moist mud of the earth and dried from the heat of the sun.
Inside these houses are plastered surfaces featuring painted designs
of members of the family, of various of the Jólian gods, each
featured for the appropriate prayers and needs of the residents,
whether it be for good crops or the health of their family, and special
floor designs, including plaid, hexagonal patterns, and rustic style.
In one of these stone houses, there resided a man by the name
of Nadie, a cantankerous, old, elderly man who held an extreme
dislike towards everything modern simply for not being the past
but instead the present, and the adults controlling all, those filthy
peasants who dare want a better life and economic prosperity.
The thoughts and feelings of Nadie would ultimately align with
those to all men, all women, and all beings that reside in the East.
Nadie was in his home reminiscing about the days of order, when all
made logical sense, back when there was still slavery of minorities,
angry about young people existing. Then, as quickly as the tide rises
when Mun gets close to Òchen and how rapidly the sea sets when
the moon retreats further away from the ocean, the life of Nadie
came to an abrupt end.
The terrifying son of black Dãrc, son of broad Ürt who carries
all of man on her belly and bosoms, arrived on the scene to
take Nadie's spirit away from his body and into Onsîn, the
realm of Onsîn the blood-born.
None in the village noticed what had happened to Nadie until
ten days after the event, when the denizens noticed that he was
suddenly stopping complaining about how women should stay
dressed in less revealing clothing than lengthy rags that cover
every single inch of their bodies, leaving no corner uncovered.
They had discovered the lifeless corpse of Nadie. Now they all
had the issue of what to do with it. Several hours of deliberation
among themselves produced no ideas or solutions.
Suddenly, one of the members produced a thought on what to do
with the body. The rest of the group, unable to produce any other
concepts or answers, decided to go ahead with it.
The idea was this: carve a sharp blade out of a stone, use it to
tear the skin, muscle, and tissue off the corpse to remove the
skeleton, take out the internal organs, and, using the plaster
made originally for the construction of the village's homes'
rooms, reconstruct the whole body, using seashells for the
eyes, and painting the areas where the hair earlier was.
This the group did. The plaster solidified. It looked almost
like Nadie, eerily so. The plastered body couldn't walk, or eat,
or converse, or spit at the young people whose most heinous
crime is just struggling to get by and be successful.
Again, the group had to make an important decision regard the
body of Nadie. They ultimately figured that as the realm of
Onsîn, home of the lord of the dead Onsîn, is located in the
land beneath the overground, it would make perfect sense that
the plaster-covered skeleton should be buried deep beneath the earth.
It would serve as a connection between the world of the living and
the world of the deceased, so the passed person could possibly
have effects on the lives on the surface of the earth.
After several decades, these practices soon became adopted throughout
the whole village, then to the village of Plen, and soon all life on earth.
