But the people also came to know life.Ĭountless days and countless nights have passed since people first came to live on the islands they had created. Swept up on the almighty current of time, the people came to know death. The moon casts its light on the ocean, and waves were born. The mountains, lakes and forests breathed together, and the seasons were born. The land grew large enough to obscure the sun, and day and night were born. Last of all they created a bright moon, so that the Sapphire Star, which had guided the youth during his voyage to seek the dragons, would no longer shines alone in the sky. Using the five scales, they created their own lands, their own mountains, their own lakes, and their own forests. The people left their white world and sailed across the ocean. And then, before anyone realized, the youth disappeared. Instead, he reached into his cloak and pulled out five Dragon Scales, which he gave to the people. “Then tell us, why did they create the island?”īut the youth did not answer. “Did you speak with the Dragons?” the people asked. Some time passed, and the youth returned. He donned a simple cloak, climbed into a simple boat, and cast off alone into the murky seas.Īt last, guided by the light of Sapphire Star, he reached the Island of The Five.
Eventually, a lone youth decided to go the island to seek the answers from the dragons themselves. The people could not understand why the dragons had left, or why they had transformed.
The last dragon climbed far into the sky to become a Star of Sapphire Blue, shining brightly above the island. One dragon fell into a deep slumber and became the forests. One dragon stooped low and became the lakes, and scattered its scale to create the rain. One dragon lifted its gaze to the sky and became the mountains. One dragon sank into the sea and became the land. The dragons swam to the center of the ocean and there they began to transform into an island. It rushed out in streams to create the sky and the oceans, and the dragons swam away. The dragons opened their mouths as if to answer, but from their mouths poured water instead of words. One day, the people began to wonder why their world had no beginning or end, so they asked the dragons. And because there was only timeless eternity, nothing was ever lost … yet nothing was ever gained. In that world, there was only eternity, and a sun that burned without beginning or end. The world was nothing but white light, inhabited only by people and five dragons. Who Is The Sapphire Star? Tale Of The Five - Story Time …
