CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

1. Eartum and Earthus tarried in the moon until it was directly over the continent of the oceans.

2. Then Eartum said, it is time to plunge into the ocean eartum.

3. And Eartum had made a device for seeing afar. And with this he knew that the moon was over the oceans.

4. Then did Eartum balance Earthus on his wings and flew with the speed of the earth.

5. And the force was so much that Earthus fell off the back of Eartum and got stuck within the body of a phibiosis.

6. And the head of the great fish went apart from his body.

7. Then Earthus appeared to be naturally possessed with the body of a fish.

8. And Earthus wept greatly when he saw this. And she said, Eartum, take me out of this phibiosis.

9. And Eartum laughed, saying, you looked perfectly framed in it, o Earthus!

10. I would that you remain in it forever. And let her tail and body make up for your lost legs.

11. But this thing displeased Earthus. And she pleaded day and night for Eartum to pull her out of the body of the phibiosis and put the phibiosis together again.

12. Then Eartum said, do you think the phibiosis does not know what she did?

13. I can perceive that she willingly waited for you to plunge into her body, else you will break your head against the crystals of tepex beneath the ocean.

14. Or against the ice that are hiding their bodies in here.

15. The phibiosis gave its life for you, such as one of them also helped Jasheb to escape the ocean.

16. Did you not see this through the satellite? Did you not see how the phibiosis ate up all the furs on his body and left his skin as smooth as yours?

17. But Earthus insisted that Eartum should take her out of the body of the phibiosis.

18. Then Eartum obliged her and began to pull her with all her strength, but she cried in pain because she felt her skin tearing apart.

19. And it became impossible to take Earthus away from the body of the phibiosis, lest her body would be rented apart.

20. Then Earthus succumbed and ordered for the gathering of all the phibioses in the oceans.

21. Then he blessed them, saying, for helping me, an helper of homos shall you be forever.

22. And whenever you hurt yourself or whenever you are being hurt by any external force, your wound shall heal up in no time at all.

23. Immediately she said this, the phibiosis stuck to her body began to close more on her flesh.

24. And the cut on her body healed up.

25. Then her blood mixed with the blood of Earthus and her nerves connected with the nerves of Earthus. And the brain of Earthus began to control it immediately, such that whenever Earthus thought to move her legs, the tail of the phibiosis shook as though it was part of her from creation.

26. Thus did Earthus have the torso of a homo and the tail of a fish and also her offsprings thereafter.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
1. After three years of the dwelling of Eartum and Earthus in the moon, she told him;
2. Eartum, I can no more bear it. Let us go back into the ocean and take charge of all our creatures;
3. The whales, the phibioses, the tergunis- they shall all die for our absence.
4. And Eartum said, why do you worry all the time over the creatures made by my own hand and the ones made by the bang?
5. You do not consider your own safety over theirs.
6. If they die, can we not make others to replace them?
7. But if we die, how shall we be replaced?
8. Moreso, Apollyon your son have we kept in this moon with us until a time he would be able to withstand the turbidity of the ocean.
9. Why do you even bother, O! Earthus? Have I not sent down my force from the moon into all the oceans and seas and water bodies on the face of the earth to protect them?
10. So keep your peace O! Earthus! For it was because of your great care for the homos that you lost your limbs.
11. And Earthus said, my limbs are nothing to me in this matter. I shall even offer to lose my life if need be.
12. And for Apollyon, did Knoliud not appear to us last night to tell us that he will grow up to rule the earth with a rod of iron? But this thing I am against.
13. Let us depart into the oceans immediately, for I can no more forbear it.
12. With this, Eartum knew that her heart was fixed. And he said, O! Earthus, mother of great Apollyon, (also called Apollo) I can perceive in my spirit that in a distant world, the spirit of Apollyon shall lead some homos here.
13. And when they shall explore this moon, their findings shall put Nymphidis to shame, because he has assumed that the moon is a light and therefore not explorable.
14. So Eartum and Earthus were set to leave the moon.
15. And he made a satellite like the stars of the great bang. Then he kept Apollyon in the satellite to grow therein.
16. Now Nymphidis had released his dragon upon the homos on earth who kept on visiting the ocean to worship Earthus.
17. And the dragon flew across the continents, putting the life of many worshippers of Earthus to death.
18. And Petunia discovered an element called Publum. And Nymphidis was glad at the discovery because he thought he would feed it to the worms of Ephradite which he had taken.
19. Nymphidis made a molten lead with his fire and fed them to the worms of Ephradite.
20. Immediately the worms had tasted the publum, they fell dead like a grass dried up by the sunlight.
21. And Nymphidis called one of his homos and fed him with a molten publum cooked in oil, disgusing it like pottage.
22. Then the homo died.
23. When Nymphidis saw this, he was very pleased within his heart. And he named the molten plubum wormwood, because it was what killed the worms of Ephradite which even fire and sulphur could not kill.
24. Then he arranged his followers to go round the continents to declare peace, saying, let us be at peace with one another again.
25. And Nymphidis said, let everyone worship whosoever he chose to worship.
26. Go into the seas and the oceans and the rivers and drink of the waters.
27. Worship the image of Earthus if you wish, for at the beginning she was charged with the control of this planet.
28. Hearing this, everyone on the face of the earth was glad. And they hailed Nymphidis again, saying, Alsadur! Alsadur! you are the greatest among the sons of God.
29. You are Peace and the god of it. You are not the god of war, but the god of peace.
30. Then Faulkin arose amidst them and said, I am the Prince of Peace. Therefore let peace reign in this planet.
31. And these deeds of Nymphidis and Faulkin were the fulfillment of the divine prophecy of Knoliud, saying, "And one of you sons of God shall give himself a name. He shall be called Peace. And his adopted son shall be called the Prince of Peace."

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

1. Faulkin was shocked when he saw the manhood of Jasheb.

2. The two fruit of tacamid had also fallen off his chest.

3. And Faulkin required to know who he was. And he replied, Jasheb.

4. And Faulkin's wrath waxed hot against him. And he threatened to take him to Nymphidis to torture him.

5. Then Jasheb vehemently pleaded for mercy. And Faulkin said, you shall only be granted mercy on one condition, that we continue in the affair.

6. And Jasheb said, impossible! For where in me shall your rod go through?

7. And Jasheb gathered confidence and said, Faulkin, you have a secret to keep than myself. I shall tell your father how you did fare with Waldis while she was alive.

8. Now I adjure you, stay away from me.

9. But Faulkin would not hear. And when he did not let Jasheb have a rest of mind, he allowed him to pass his manhood into him through his anus.

10. And this affair continued for a long time, but Nymphidis knew not what they were doing.

11. And as knowledge increased, the homos began to discover what was hid in the earth.

12. And Dadoni of the land of Ephradite was the one who discovered iron.

13. But Nymphidis was greatly displeased by this discovery, for his soul hated iron greatly.

14. And he sought to kill Dadoni, but could not because Dadoni had made a chariot with iron. And he escaped to Ephradite in his chariot.

15. And Tetrucan of the land of
Nymphidis was the one who discovered sulphur.

16. And at the discovery of it was Nymphidis glad because it supported his fire.

17. And Nymphidis had heaps of sulphur, but no one knew what he intended to do with it.

18. And it came to pass, that Nymphidis was weary at the continuous visit of the homos to the ocean to worship Earthus who was no more in the ocean.

19. And in anger, he killed a thousand and twenty-five of the homos made by his own hands.

20. For he poured out fire and brimstone upon them and they died.

21. And this did not stop the remaining homos from visiting the ocean to bow their knees.

22. And Nymphidis declared, if you will worship at all, then worship me. For I deserve to be worshipped than any of the sons of God.

23. How do you do your worship to Earthus who by now should be spending his second life in the chumorld? For she was but dead before Eartum rescued his body.

24. And the people began to make gates of brass and bars of iron for protection. For the fear of Nymphidis had engulfed them.

25. And Nymphidis commanded his men to go forth and break every gate of brass and destroy every bar of iron. But himself would not go with them because his soul hated brass and iron.

26. And Faulkin led the war. And they broke down many structures made with brass and iron.

27. They also destroyed the brazen images of mother Earthus which many homos worshipped.

28. And Nymphidis went forth into the continent of Ephradite, for he heard that Dadoni was there.

29. And Nymphidis struck stones together to make fire in the midst of the land.

30. And when they saw the fire, they were amazed because they did not know that stones could make fire.

31. For since the existence of many of the homos, they had been going from one place to the other to get ready-made fire without knowing the origin of it.

32. And Nymphidis burnt about two hundred thousand homos of the land of Ephradite and took away about one thousand worms which Ephradite had kept for the purpose of knowledge.

33. And Ephradite could not overcome Nymphidis and his homos who had invaded his continent.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

1. And Jasheb came out of the ocean alive at the third week.

2. For he had been helped by one of the fishes in the oceans.

3. And the fish looked beautiful and fresh in all manner to him.

4. Then Jasheb, when he had come out of the waters, began to think of disguising himself to look as beautiful as the fish itself.

5. For the fish itself had eaten up all the furs on his body such that he now appeared naked.

6. And Jasheb felt the need to cover up himself like the sons of God. And he went to the land of Phidis and found there some strands of the hair of Earthus on the tree where she was hanged.

7. Then did he weave the hair on his own head and his countenance was fair to look upon. And he was like Earthus in appearance. He also stuck some saps from the bark of the tree upon his lips; this thing was what Earthus always did while she was on earth.

8. And Jasheb saw a nut from a tree. And when he broke it, he found oil in it.

9. And he anointed his body all over with the oil to make his skin look smooth like Earthus' and like the friendly phibiosis in the ocean which had helped him get to land.

10. Then Jasheb walked gracefully like Mother Earthus. For he had also pierced his ears through and fixed some gold in them, all for the intent of looking like mother Earthus. He had also stuff some soft fruit of tacamid in his chest to make them appear like breasts.

11. And at that time did Nymphidis pass by and saw him.

12. And he curiously approached him, because he looked like Earthus.

13. And Jasheb was scared when he saw him. And he felt to make light his feet and flee.

14. But Nymphidis commanded him to remain because he meant no hurt.

15. And Jasheb remained, trembling; because he feared that Nymphidis would know him for who he was exactly.

16. And when Nymphidis had approached him, he yelled, Waldis!

17. Then did Jasheb understand what Nymphidis meant, because he had read of her in the book of Eartum the son of God.

18. And Jasheb mimicked the voice of Earthus saying, how do you know my name?

19. And Nymphidis was amazed when he heard the voice. And he said, are you truly Waldis?

20. Then Jasheb replied, yes I am. I have been lost in the desert for ages. My brother left me when I was surrounded by an unknown flame, but I was not burnt by the flame.

21. And when Nymphidis heard this, he fell into an embrace with him.

22. And he wept bitterly, but did not weep for a long time so that he would not be discovered to be weeping, for the homos may count it as a weakness to him.

23. Then did Nymphidis take her home with gladness of heart, thinking he was his daughter, Waldis.

24. And when Jasheb saw Faulkin, he was afraid that his secret would be discovered.

25. Then did Faulkin do exactly as Nymphidis had done, because he cried Waldis! when he also saw him.

26. And in those days, Faulkin began to demand of Jasheb those things he had been doing with him while they were away millions of years back.

27. (In those days, the homos made by birth do not grow more than the appearance of a youth).

28. And Jasheb said, "Faulkin my brother, my memory has been partially lost by the heat of the flame. Tell me what it was that I have been doing for you and I will do it again."

29. And Faulkin whispered into his ear.

30. Then Jasheb began to rub his long hair on Faulkin's feet, pouring ointment on his feet, according to what he had been told by Faulkin.

31. This same thing was what Waldis his sister had been doing with him because he loved her so much. And he took pleasure in the softness of her mammary glands which rested on his feet whenever she was doing that to him.

32. And the affair of Faulkin
and Jasheb continued for a space of a year until he asked him that he would see his unclothedness.

33. And Jasheb was afraid because he feared that his secret would be discovered.

34. And Faulkin said, "You are my sister, Waldis. Let us have the taste of what our fathers also had for I perceived it is the sweetest thing one could have on earth.

35. Was it not for this purpose I stole you away while you were yet a baby? Because I said in my heart, Waldis shall grow up to have the beautiful countenance of Mother Earthus and our fathers shall fight to take her as their wife.

36. And for this did I take you away to nourish you until a time like this. But at a time I thought you were ripe to be deflowered, the flame of my father engulfed you, but you did not die because you are the begotten daughter of the consuming fire himself.

37. And when Jasheb heard this, he was sore afraid, thinking he would flee the house of Nymphidis by night.

38. And when Jasheb was about to flee, he ran into the hand of Faulkin.

39. And Faulkin stripped him naked in his chamber. And he was shocked when he saw it.

40. And Jasheb was sore afraid, shaking violently on a spot.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

1. And the destruction of the great vessel of Deganis caused great death among the homos.

2. Because only eighty and two homos survived it, besides Nymphidis and Faulkin who were not homos made by hands. The rest went drowned in the water because they could not swim.

3. And the eighty-two souls which remained were Deganis, Aeriel, Rauel, Chapetan, Cirius, Chami, Regel, Manimor, Mephedec, Gumid, Palitus and Velech all which were the creatures of Chaleb.

4. And the creatures of Euchlydes which survived the disaster were Lamur, Chetur, Haleb, Belitis, Medo, Farafat, Parfos, Coriel, Marmech, Lacris and Setub.

5. And the creature of Largas who survived were twelve. And their names were Cumim, Horiel, Metur, Manimor, Nimelech, Esra, Patiel, Jados, Dultiel, Siperet, Dadinimalel and Colominis who was a dwarf.

6. And the homos which were made by Chimides and survived the disaster were Lagonis, Volumis, Sagnon, Bel, Zedec, Bakuni, Murminis, Cradiel, Jasheb who was a scribe, Lemech, Bachus, Sirigus, Keltiel who was an expert in construction of towers, Farkin and Melech.

7. And the homos made by the hands of Ephradite and survived the disaster were Clemus, Lacrus, Falach, Dadoni who was also very skilled in crafts, Regalis whose garden was large in the land of Chimurmoh before it was divided, Nuel, Sema, Zaruch, Fagon, Balkum, Hibidoz, Rauel, Sagonis and Phemis.

8. And the homos which were made by the hands of Nymphidis and survived the disaster were Griffidis, Marmidis, Sarmurdis, Abedon, Tetrucan, Nadis, Taloma, Cadrech, Miph, Dolomis, Elium, Cadiri, Muhdi, Liphet, Phobetan, Atonis, Lagami and Petunah.

9. But for Faulkin, he escaped by balancing on a little fragment of the gopher wood which was broken.

10. And he was the last of all to escape out of the water, just at the time the other eighty-two standing at the bank of the water were mourning him as one of the dead.

11. And they saw him from afar off as if he was sliding over the water.

12. But before they came close to the brink of the ocean, Faulkin had stepped out of the water and the wave of the ocean had swept away the light gopher wood fragment upon which he stood on the ocean.

13. Then did the eighty-two homos bow their heads to worship him, because they thought he had authority over the oceans.

14. And Eartum began to devise a mean of saving Earthus. And he returned to the moon to make his plans.

15. And he fixed his satellites at Nymphidis and his followers who had hung Earthus on a tree by her long hair.

16. Behold, the blood of Earthus had been shed on the land of Phidis where she had been taken to.

17. And when Earthus was about to breath her last, Eartum flew right from the moon and aimed her.

18. Straightaway, he picked her up like in the swiftness of a Parakreet and went with her body to the moon.

19. And Nymphidis and all around him were amazed, because they did not know the direction to which the force had taken her.

20. Then Jasheb began to write in a stone that Mother Earthus must have been taken up to the city of Gold alive.

21. And Jasheb, who was the first scribe which was a homo made of the hands of Chimides gave himself to the worship of Mother Earthus.

22. For he took his time to write about her beauty and spledour. And he also worshipped her statue which he had stolen secretly from the chamber of Nymphidis.

23. And in no time at all, the writings of Jasheb began to take root in the hearts of millions of homos.

24. And they longed to see Mother Earthus again.

25. And when Nymphidis had known that many homos had begun to read the book of Jasheb and worship the image of Earthus, he sprang up to his feet and gave Jasheb a chase, for he was intending to end his life.

26. But Jasheb ran like the wind and plunged into the ocean hibidis.

27. And one-third of the homos on earth began to visit the ocean to drink of the waters of it and to beg Earthus for pardon for their sins against her.

28. Her image was also passed from hand to hand so that Nymphidis would not be able to locate it, because Jasheb had stolen it from his chamber.

29. And when Nymphidis saw that the people would not stop to visit the oceans to weep for Earthus and drink the waters, he began to find out how he would poison the water.

30. But Eartum remained in the moon with Earthus for a year. And the issue of her blood continued, but Eartum had worked upon it to bring it to a great reduction.

31. Then Earthus spoke for the first time after a year, saying, Eartum, let me return into the oceans, for I can perceive the agony of our creatures in the waters.

32. They cannot live alone in the waters for they shall all die for my absence.

33. Eartum, I plead with you, let us return to the oceans.

34. And Eartus said, stay peaceful Earthus, for no harm shall come upon our beasts.

35. I shall send down a permanent force into the oceans and the rivers and wheresoever upon the earth the waters are gathered.

36. And this shall regulate the waters to make them not overflow. This shall help our oceans and the seas and all water bodies to have their balance and preserve the lives of our fishes, our whales, our phibioses and all beasts which live in the waters.

37. Then did Eartum send down from the moon into the waters on earth a pulling force, such as the one he had also already set down in the moon before.

38. But Earthus remained in doubt that such thing would work to protect lives in the ocean.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

1. And Deganis, a homo of the land of Chaleb began to increase in his mental ability. And he began to make a vessel from the gopher wood.

2. For the wood was gotten from the lightest tree on earth named the gopher tree.

3. Deganis got the gopher wood from the garden of Nymphidis while he was away in a fight with Ephradite.

4. And the wood was so light that a log of it could float totally on water. Nymphidis got this tree by planting the seed of Caravas and the seed of Melamis tree together.

5. And the gopher tree measured up to two hundred cubits in height and a hundred cubit in width.

6. And Deganis had made a great invention to cut down the tree. And he did this in no time at all.

7. The aim of Deganis was to traverse the oceans with it to fetch Mother Earthus.

8. For he strongly believed that she had returned to the ocean with Eartum.

9. But Eartum and Earthus were still in the desert where they had escaped to. And Earthus said, Eartum, my soul desires to retun to the water. What do we wait for in this place?

10. Our creatures would be now weary of our absence. Let us return to the ocean, for we are safer there than here.

11. And at the third year of the pleadings of Earthus did he listen to her. And they returned into the water.

12. And Deganis had assembled a thousand homos. And Nymphidis thought to lead the war. But he knew not where Deganis got the wood for the large vessel.

13. And Nymphidis doubted if the large vessel of Deganis would float on water. And Deganis said, my lord, Nymphidis, the vessel had been tested on the four rivers which flowed into your garden.

14. Apenas was there as well as Cirius when I put the vessel on the rivers and it stood.

15. And when Nymphidis asked where he got the wood from, he said he got it from the land of Chimides (for Chimides was the creator of many trees).

16. And Nymphidis himself carried the vessel in his hands and led them to the continent of oceans.

17. And the vessel was so light in the arms of Nymphidis that he doubted if it would be able to carry their weight.

18. The weight of the vessel was about eighty-two shekels. But the weight of Nymphidis alone was about thirty-eight thousand shekels.

19. The weight of Deganis was nine-thousand four hundred and eighty two shekels. And the weight of Cirius was eight-thousand five hundred and two shekels. And the weight of Apenas was seven thousand and one shekel.

20. And the weight of Aeriel was six thousand four hundred and eight shekels. And the weight of Chapetan was six thousand two hundred shekels.

21. And altogether, the weight of all the homos and Nymphidis was in millions. But the weight of the gopher wood was only eighty-two shekels.

22. Then Nymphidis would not accept that they travel in the vessel because it would be destroyed by their weight.

23. And Deganis said, my lord Nymphidis, I have made a lot of findings and I know that the waters will support us with its own force.

24. For when I pushed my hands inside the river Euphrates, it pushed it back.

25. Our weight shall not break the vessel of gopher because the force of the ocean shall support it.

26. And again, Nymphidis said, we are so many. Our weight shall sink the vessel and Eartum shall have us by surprise.

27. Again Deganis replied him and said, we shall spread throughout the vessel, for it is large enough to contain everyone of us such that no two people shall be together at a spot in it.

28. So did Nymphidis listen to Deganis and they entered the large vessel through the ocean called phiph.

29. And they sailed for many days and soon came to the ocean called phidarth. And when they came to the ocean eartum later, they got set to trap mother Earthus, for Deganis sent a loud noise down the ocean and from the response he got, he told them all to get ready to catch Earthus with a huge harpoon crafted by Marad.

30. Then Rauel entered into the harpoon and they let him down into the ocean, right at the centre where Earthus and Eartum lay.

31. And when Earthus saw the harpoon and Rauel trapped in it, she felt pity for him.

32. Then did Earthus persuade Eartum that they should come to the rescue of Rauel, for she knew him by his name.

33. And Eartum said, let us hold our peace because Rauel is a follower of Nymphidis.

34. And what is our concern if Nymphidis has intended to punish one of his followers by drowning him in the ocean?

35. Then did Earthus continue to adjure him, but Eartum gave no ear.

36. And Earthus said, my lord Eartum, only this once shall I disregard you. For you know not what pain I carry in my heart whenever a homo has died.

37. I shall rescue Rauel from this great cage and he shall be one of us in the oceans.

38. Then Earthus leapt forward and caught the harpoon with the intent of opening it for Rauel to come forth.

39. But she knew not that he had begun to cleave her long strand of hair with the harpoon.

40. And in a twinkling of an eye, Nymphidis lifted up the harpoon from the waters when he felt that it had become heavier.

41. And Earthus followed the lifting up because her hair had been entwined with it.

42. And when Eartum saw this, he leapt in the water and caught the limbs of Earthus.

43. And the vessel shook greatly for the forces of the sons of God.

44. And Earthus cried for pain, but none of the sons of God was ready to leave her.

45. Nymphidis pulled her by the abdomen while Eartum pulled her legs, which was the only place left for him to pull.

46. And the pulling continued for a whole day, from the rising of the sun to another rising of the sun.

47. And Earthus' body was dissected by the forces of the two sons of God.

48. And Eartum parted with her two legs while Nymphidis got her torso, besides her hands.

49. And the water of the ocean was turned into blood.

50. And in anger, Eartum reached out for the vessel from beneath the ocean and struck it with a great force.

51. Then did the vessel break into pieces but Nymphidis had flown out of it before the wreckage.

52. For he had taken away the body of Earthus with him, except her legs which were in the ocean with Eartum.

53. And Eartum wept greatly. This was the first weeping of a son of God.

54. And his tears filled the ocean, tasting like the tepex with which Reverad made his priests.

55. Thus did every water into which the ocean eartum flow begin to taste tepex until these days.
