I will tell you a story that was told to me by a traveler, a strange traveler, like this story.

From the ashes of space and water, the Earth was born.

Soon, she longed for intelligence, and she told the cosmos of her desire.

The universe is kind, it is its nature, and it began to search for someone to share its «wits,» and the moon, a mysterious and cold companion, responded.

Mother moon gave the earth all the living and went to sleep of illusions, to rest.

The creatures gifted by the Moon were of various forms and abilities. It was obvious to them who they were and where they came from, what they could and could not do, but there was still a mystery that was hidden from their minds. Why did they come to Earth, who were they to Earth, and why were they given knowledge and wisdom? This was a secret that they had to discover for themselves as they followed their own paths of choice.

The traveler talked a lot about Krast, who was one of the first to materialize from the rays of the moon and stand on the solid surface of the Earth in the form of a strong and handsome young man. Although beauty is a matter of taste, he could easily change his appearance to suit any situation. This was one of his survival strategies.

Tall, black-eyed, with aristocratic features, this was the image that Krast liked the most, and he considered it to be his by right.

The Moon had given Earth creatures with a wide variety of appearances. There were one-eyed, four-faced creatures who looked in all directions, as well as eight-armed creatures with empty eye sockets and even creatures without heads, just walking bodies. Their personalities were also diverse, with some being stern, some being playful, and some being evil and cunning.

There were also those who had not yet decided on a body and were guarding the swamps or managing the forests, only occasionally materializing to engage in equal conversations with those who were clothed in earthly «dirt.»

At first, the chaos was overwhelming. The struggle for territory and the exploration of themselves and their bodies led to a state of intoxication. Everyone believed themselves to be the strongest, most beautiful, and most intelligent.

It must be said that the people were indeed gifted. Everyone communicated in images. And words had great power. They were spoken to stop the lava of a volcano, calm the ocean, and quiet the wind. With the help of sounds of a certain pitch, they lifted heavy objects, built cities, and communicated with the Cosmos.
