"Dear beings, I give you the name of Elf, for great and beautiful shall your people always be so also children of the night. And all the races of beings shall be granted three wishes", and with that to everyone’s surprise and distress, for they did not like to see him take of any of his loveliness, he plucked three feathers and gave them to the Elvish leader.

She turned them over in her hands delightfully, for they were tail-feathers, long and pleasing to the eye. Her hands were tinted the slightest silver and her hair was lengthy and flowing. She was a very elegant being and her smile reminded many of The Great Bird’s. As all elves her ears were longer than humans and came to a soft point. Many beings took up that habit of piercing but it is mostly a racal thing of the elves to tattoo –and indeed they are much more beatiful and thin than those you ever might see and often placed upon the face around/on cheeks or below the eyes and often times brow. She laughed, a sound of the first music, pure and harmonious, for holding the feathers gave her joy.

She looked to her own kind and then back to The Creator, inquiring respectfully, "Sire, what is it about these feathers? For they seem to hold something that none of our words given to us can describe, something that makes up a greater part of you . . .or is it you are what is in essence in these?"

"It is a word named Magic" he responded softly.

The word seemed to inspire the elves and hung in the air. . .full of meaning and wonder. And it seemed as if it belonged to them, as if it was also a great part of their kind. "Sire, if it is not displeasing to you, could I ask for one of my wishes, one of out kind’s wishes to be that this thing be also for us? So we can please ourselves with the mighty use of this Magic."

And then and there the elves were shed with magic, overflowing. And The Bird instructed them, in the use of all their abilities, and so he also instructed the beasts, and second he gave the Unicorn’s and Gryphon’s and all other creatures more exotic magic. So came magic into the world far away.

There are many different kinds of magic, some more powerful some just for amusement but most being very helpful in ways of battle and everyday life.

The Great Bird said "I now shall tell you, I go now to create other beings and also will give them three wishes. Yet also they are already created and yet also they shall soon be. Let not anything worry you, keep to the Order and everything will be. I now go to make other lands," he spread his wings out toward the seas, "And one of these lands shall have One that the elves fate lies with. You shall know when it is right to wish again.

A young elf child said anguished that the Bird would leave, "When, please sir, when might You return, sir?" He rushed forward to the Creator.

"When the time is right my dear child," an elven woman quickly leapt to take the child back but The Creator replied "Let the children come to me, for they are young, but shall upon a time be in my household" He gently set aloof the child’s shoulder and told him something in secret. The child beamed and walked to his mother.

The Elvish leader (whose name was found to be Amorin {which is p. Ae-mor-in} for she was a child of the morning, of the first dawn.) said quickly, "Pardon me, but what shall we call you?"

And just like the word said for the elves creation terrible, painful, yet beautiful, came the word from the Bird, except this word was so pure, so lovely, no being could ever come to the full of it. "‘Aterous’" (pronounced ah-tur-ous).Or as many shall come to know Aitrus (p. ae-trus).

And He flew on. Sprouting up were he flew over trees and flowers and many plants that had not yet been created. Then he disappeared on the horizon.
