The Elder Deity mourned the loss of the Younger Deity for many years, but he eventually grew accustomed to his sad, lonely life.
One day, unable to bear his loneliness any longer, the Elder Deity removed one of his eyes and created a goddess. The new goddess looked at the Elder Deity and exclaimed: Thou art handsome. With this voice, the world was filled with sound.
The Elder Deity and the new goddess gave names to each other. The Elder Deity received the name of Sol, the God of Creation, and the goddess, Myulin the Goddess of Harvest. Then the Elder Deity created a land of the dead in the darkest part of the world and sealed the spirit of the Younger Deity and gave him the name of Cerunnos, the Lord of the Dead. This was how all things were named and given a purpose. Sol gave birth to more gods and goddesses. Myulin gave the new gods names and Sol gave them purpose. One rules the sun, and another the oceans. One ruled the weaving thread, and another the stoves. This was how the sun traveled the sky, the oceans beat against the shores, the loom spit out threads, and the stoves held the fire within. Sol then gave birth to trees, plants, beasts, birds, fishes, and insects. They were all spread throughout the world and found a place to live.
The world was filled with life.
Last to be created were the elves. Sol created them in his image and he loved them best. Sol asked all the gods and all creatures to grant the elves their blessings.
Each god, goddess, and creature happily gave its blessings to the elves.
As a result, the elves were faster, stronger, smarter, and more beautiful than any other creature, and they were able to speak the language of all creatures.
However Cerunnos, the Lord of the Dead withheld his blessing from the elves. Unaware of darkness, the elven hearts were ever wrapped in light, but because of it, the elves had an incredible innocence in them.
