-Before anything there was naught but the Creator - and He spoke: "Let Us create, so that others might know Me. Let there be a beginning, filled with light and void to be filled by it." And it was so. The Creator then made shapes to fill the void and contain the light. He created the land and divided it from the sky. He caused the living things to spring up from the deep, and it was Good.

And it was so. The Creator then made shapes to fill the void and contain the light. He created the water and dry land and divided it from the sky. He caused the living things to spring up from the deep, and it was Good.
-And the Creator said, "Let Us create man, and let him be made like Me - able to speak words and create ideas." He created them, male and female. He bound man to the land, and gave him dominion over its fate. He shared with Man all that He had created, and showed him many words. And they were Good. The Creator rested.

 And the Creator said to man, "Thou shalt live and speak words with Us forever, you will be my people and I will be your God. Thou must not deny Me, or you will surely be destroyed and turned to dust." Now in those times man had spoken many words, and the Creator had given them all life in the great shapeless heavens below. One of those words came to man in the form of a dragon and said, "As you have created us, so the Creator made you. Why do you not cast down the Creator, and thus take the world completely for yourself?" Man answered the spirit, "God would surely destroy us. He has spoken it."
-"Surely you will not be destroyed," said the spirit, "the Creator fears that you will know too much, and become as powerful as He." And one man believed the spirit, and spoke words against God. He suddenly came to know Evil, and was afraid. He had others deny the Creator with him, and destroyed all those that would not.
+"Surely you will not be destroyed," said the spirit, "the Creator fears that you will know too much, and become as powerful as He." And Man believed the spirit, and spoke words against God. He suddenly came to know Evil, and was afraid. He had may others deny the Creator with him, and destroyed those that would not.
 God came to the man and said, "You have betrayed us, and are Evil in my sight. All of creation is cursed by you; it is no longer Good. You will turn to dust in days short numbered, and I will then destroy all the rest with fire." He cast them down out of the world and onto the land.
-Then God said, "I turn against you four curses you have spoken - Doubt, Envy, Fear, and Pain. They will torment and crush you; your evil will end. And behold with four more  words spoken - Fate, Thought, Freedom, and Uncertainty. They will frustrate and divide you; your evil will not reign. And behold four final words We have spoken- Faith, Grace, Peace, and Love. They will keep you from destruction until Salvation finds you and the Wind brings you back to me. Thus we will make the world anew. Go across the land, and bear Good fruit and multiply, for the world to come you will be more numerous than the stars."

 God placed a great fire around the world to destroy all Evil, and set the four Holy Words at the fire to keep Him from destroying the land. He set the other words upon the shapeless heavens below, where a great battle began to rage. Thus the land became the battlefield. There was night, and there was morning - the First Age.
