The Creation of the World

According to Fay :   At the beginning, before time and before space, there was The Great Void. It was cold and silent and dark.
Inside the Great Void, there was the Infinite Sea Of Chaos. It was in perpetual storm, full of bright colors and strange noises.
  From The Great Void, an egg appeared. It hatched, and from it came out Selam, Goddess of Matter, Child of None. She grew up alone, floating in the Void, above the Infinite colorful sea. When she reached adulthood, loneliness became too much to bear and slipped from her eye as a single tear that fell into the Infinite Sea Of Chaos.
The Chaos felt the loneliness of Selam and was so moved by it that it gathered all of its love and gave it a body. Thus Piya, Goddess of Energy, Child of All, was born. She came out of the Sea and hugged Selam with all of her love, she hugged her so tight she squeezed her loneliness and sadness out into the Void.
  Since then, they have nerver been appart. Selam became the Earth, Piya became the Sky and her Heart became the Sun. They hugg so close that they create Sparks of Love between them, fusion of Selam's body and Piya's spirit. They are the plants and animals. They are the Life on Earth. They are made of love and happiness. Their life is short, but it shines bright as the Piya's Heart. And when it stops, their body goes back to Selam, full of all the experience they have lived. And their Spirit goes back to Piya, full of all the feelings they have felt.  

Summary

The world is made of two Goddesses in love. Selam is the Goddess of everything material, Piya is the Goddess of everything spiritual. Selam is the Earth, Piya is the sky.
  Every living being is made of a piece of Selam's body, and fragment of Piya's spirit. They are Sparks of Love.
When a living creature dies, its parts go back to Piya and Selam, bringing back everything they have experienced and felt.
If the individual had a great life, full of different experiences and with a majority of positive feelings, it will deepen the love of Piya and Selam. If it has lived a life of unfulfilling repetition, with negative feelings, it will hurt Piya and Selam.
Thus, the well being of everyone is extremely important in Fay society. Hurting someone means hurting the Goddesses. Doing so repeatedly or on purpose is a Blasphemy.   Black Bloods are seen as Sparks of Conflict. As in every relation, there is conflict and misunderstandings, but in those conflict there is still love. Black Bloods have the duty to resolve the conflict that gave them life. Thus, they usually become artist, because Fay believe that Art is communication, and communication resolve conflicts.

Spread

This myth is the basis of Fay's religion. It is known by all.

Variations & Mutation

According to Humans :

 
The first humans learned this myth from the Fay. But as they drifted appart, the Myth got corrupted.
In human's version of the Myth, Selam was sad of being alone in The Void and decided to create Piya by throwing a dropp of her blood into the Chaos. Piya was born to be Selam' servant, but since she is made of Chaos, she was unruly and untrusty. So Selam created Life by binding her body to Piya's.
Humans can use magic because they are made from Selam's Body, and Piya has to obey them. She must be tamed by strong choregraphies, else she will find a way to disobey.   Black Bones and Black Bloods are seen as weaklings, unable to be chain down Piya's spirit to their will.
