The Creator's Handwriting
When we eight shapeshifters had reached our majorities and were fully of age, we heard the call of our Creator: "COME." So we followed Him into the caverns, through a narrow passage that no aignaoi could even squeeze a head through, over fire and shadow, until at last we came to a wide room with high, smooth walls. We followed Him, and His Brilliance flooded the cavern, so bright that the aignaoithe miles behind saw it. The Light carved into the walls, sizzling, each character utterly perfect. When it was done, we could do nothing but read the words over and over again, until the Fire of them burned within each of our imaginations, and we could do nothing but follow His example. Thus we wrote and drew and invented. It fell from our fingertips, insatiable, inevitable. Any who read this: follow us, and follow Him in creation.The Creator wrote the words of the Sacred Writings of the Cavern with His own hand on the walls of the Cavern at the Top of the World in the presence of the Saints. Inspired, the Saints added their own creative works alongside the divinely-written sections. This is a central story of Aignaoi Creationism and its descendents, such as Crathlian Creationism, forming the basis of the authority of their primary sacred text.
