Femehan creation myth

PLANS

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the ancient times, just as now, femehans lived in leaf tree forests. Mountains rose above them, leaving

valleys in between.
***mountains, forest, sky***
-----
The lands were fertile and other creatures seldom bothered the intelligent and peaceful femehans who lived here

in this promised land.
***forest and river from above***
In the beginning, all femehans were the same.
-----
Fourteen of them there were. Their skins were dark magenta, their hair red and their eyes violet. Yet they all

were different, for they had distinct and unique personalities.
***trees, plants, femehan figure***
They lived together in the forest, learning and aging. Yet they remained young, for the first femehans were

immortal, though unable to reproduce.

Near to the femehans' home there was a place of reverence. Every fourth week, every frindo they went there and paid their respects to the galanfetzcan known as Tiiomagao for ey acted as their link to the Spirit Plane and lended eir aid when it was most needed.
***two cliffs, rock formations, tiny femehans walking***
-----
They sang a song in Tiiomagao's honor and left em an item one of them had made.
***femehans posing inside the rock formation***
----
Even though Tiiomagao was not always there to receive the item, it always disappeard within two days of leaving it.
*
No one ever saw whether it was Tiiomagao who took it when ey did not directly take it.
***item***
-----
Ey often returned the item, frequently accompanied by a note. Sometimes ey gave back improvement suggestions. Rarely ey kept the item for emself.
***item upside-down with a note***
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Tiiomagao did present emself, ey rose from behind eir cliff edge as if flying. A few times ey rode an airship.
***cliff, rock formation, airship, sky***
The femehans revered em like a deity. Khirijeel Tiiomagao Hoojatevvelki they called em, Far-Walker Tiiomagao the Caller of Gods.
-----
Ey was tall, taller than any galanfetzcan of today and at least as tall as the femehans. Eir skin was dark violet, eir eyes blue as the sky and eir form beautiful.
By eir mind, ey was wise, intelligent and fairs. Ey never mistreated the femehans and alwayshelped them to solve the problems they could not overcome by themselves.
*
Ey often told how ey had made the femehans. Why ey retold it again and again they did not know, but evidently ey did not want them to forget.
***Tiiomagao floats***
"I gathered several materials and parts and assembled you, a little like you build the items you make for me. After I was done, you had bodies, but you did not yet live. Therefore, I gave you each aspects of my spirit, enduing you with spirits of your own."
*
"Now I only want you to grow and cherish those spirits, for they are the dearest thing that you can have; a mind of your own. I would only like you to live happily in peace and tell me, should there be any distress in your lives."

Even though they could not have children, they were not unhappy, for they knew not of any better and they had each other. They were happy together and there never was a fight bad enough to hurt them.
***huggly***
-----
One time Anni found two injured animals in the forest and nursed them back to health. They were cute and fluffy and the femehans liked them and called them tuuhis.
***Anni and two animals***
-----
Wage had noticed pretty flowers growing just outside eir house, so ey fence the little area and watched them grow.
***Wage and flowers***
-----
An was interested in these noticeable life-forms—they were clearly distinct from everything else they saw. Ey studied them meticulously. An was puzzled as to why more flowers kept on growing. Some of the old ones shriveled and died.
***An and flowers***
-----
However, the real shock came when the two fluffy tuuhis gave birth to a litter or tiny tuuhis.
***shocked An and six fluffy animals***
-----
"The tuuhis multiplied! They created more animals like themselves out of nowhere! They reproduced!"
***An agitatedly explaining things to the others***
-----
"Do all things do it?" Do the trees reproduce?" "How about insects?" Geniwa: "Can we reproduce as well?" Wa: "Can we create new femehans?"
***femehans asking questions***
-----
The femehans started conducting studies. They looked for distinct plants an animals in the forest, caught them and waited to see if they would reproduce. Not all of them did.
***catching, fencing, keeping, growing things***
-----
However, those beings that did reproduce were enough to convince the femehans that they wanted to try it as well.
***animals with offspring, bathes of flowers***
-----
The day of Tiiomagao's praisal was near and the femehans decided that they would present one family of tuuhis as their "item" for Tiiomagao and ask em if they could be given the ability to reproduce as well—they had not found out any way in which they could spawn new femehans.
***femehans at the stone formation, tuuhis in the "cup"***
-----
...
-----
"Immortal beings do not need to reproduce. In order to be able to reproduce, you must give up your immortality, grow old and die when it is your time. Your heritage, mental and physical, will live on in your offspring. If you still want to be able to reproduce, tell me how you want to do it and I shall give this ability to you."
***Tiiomagao***
-----
Geniwa: I want to reproduce in all possible ways!
-----
Wa: I want to carry children and impregnate others!
-----
Wage: I want to carry children and give them for others to carry!
-----
Ge: I want to carry children and be able to feed them!
-----
Gewa: I want to carry children!
-----
Niwa: I want to impregnate others and give children for others to carry!
-----
Geni: I want to give children for others to carry and be able to feed them!
-----
Anni: I want to give children for others to carry!
-----
Nige: I want to impregnate others and be able to feed children!
-----
Ni: I want to impregnate others!
-----
Anwa: I want to carry others' children!
-----
***An is quiet***
-----
Tiiomagao: An, how would you like to be able to reproduce?
***Tiiomagao on eir cliff on the left, the femehans on the right***
-----
An: I... do not care. I will not want to live forever if none of my friends will, but I only want to be able to learn everything.
-----
"Then so shall it be! To the eleven of you I give the ability to reproduce like you wanted, and to An I give the means of knowledge!"
***Tiiomagao with lightning coming from eir hands***
-----
***lightning strikes all twelve***
-----
When the femehans woke up, Tiiomagao was gone and they all had changed. They all were now of different color
