# kalama pali pi kulupu Kala
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've wanted to write a novel for a while, and I think I've finally got a solid
|
||
|
|
idea for it. I want to write about the good guys winning against an oppressive
|
||
|
|
system. I've been letting the ideas and thoughts marinate in my heart for a long
|
||
|
|
time; these short stories are how I am exploring the world and other related
|
||
|
|
concepts. I want to use language as a tool in this world. So here is my take on
|
||
|
|
a creation myth for the main species of this world, the Kala (the title of this
|
||
|
|
post roughly translates to "creation story of the Kala").

In the beginning, the gods roamed the skies. Pali, Sona and Soweli talked and
|
||
|
|
talked about their plans.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tenpo wan la sewi li lon e sewi. sewi Pali en sewi Sona en sewi Soweli li toki.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Soweli went down to the world Pali had created. Animals of all kinds followed
|
||
|
|
them as Soweli moved about the earth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sewi Soweli li tawa e sike. soweli li kama e sike.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sona followed and went towards the whales. Sona took a liking to how graceful
|
||
|
|
they were in the water, and decided to have them be the arbiters of knowledge.
|
||
|
|
Sona also reshaped them to look like the gods did. The Kala people resulted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sewi Sona li tawa e soweli sike. sewi Sona li tawa e kala suli. sewi Sona li
|
||
|
|
lukin li pona e kala suli. sewi Sona li pana e sona e kon tawa kala suli. sewi
|
||
|
|
Sona li pali e jan kama kala suli. kulupu Kala li lon.
|
||
|

|
Pali had created the entire world, so Pali fell into a deep slumber in the
|
||
|
|
ocean.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tenpo pini la sewi Pali li pali e sike. sewi Pali li lape lon telo suli.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Soweli had created all of the animals on the whole world, so Soweli fell asleep
|
||
|
|
in Soweli mountain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tenpo pini la sewi Soweli li pali e soweli ale. sewi Soweli li lape e nena Soweli.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sona lifted themselves into the skies to watch the Kala from above. Sona keeps
|
||
|
|
an eye on us to make sure we are using their gift responsibly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sewi Sona li tawa e sewi. sewi Sona li lukin e kulupu Kala. kulupu Kala li jo
|
||
|
|
sona li jo toki. kulupu Kala li pona e sewi Sona.
