In the beginning, there was Eldar and Kala.

And Eldar did get bored.  So he made the
World.  And he saw it was boring.  So he 
made Bunnies.  And he saw that the bunnies
were pink and blue, and he was happy. 

And it came to pass that the bunnies did
get restless and told Eldar off for bringing
them into such a meaningless existence, so
Eldar saw fit to create Boats.  And Kala 
rolled her eyes.  And so the bunnies learned 
that boats made great chew toys and for a 
while, Eldar, Kala and the bunnies were happy.

And Eldar noticed that there were actually a
lot more bunnies than he had actually created.
So he paid attention for a while and saw some 
very shocking scenes.  And Kala did grin.  And 
it came to pass that Kala bore Kel-Sir.

And Kel-Sir saw that there were Boats, but no
sea for them to float in.  And Kala said to
Eldar, I Told You So.  So Kel-Sir nagged Eldar
until he made the Sea.  And the Sea was good,
and the world was flat, and the Sea poured off
over the edge.  And Eldar said, D'oh!

So Kel-Sir did curl up the edges of the world,
and Eldar created the Sea again, and it was
good and stationary.  And Kala smiled.

And it came to pass that Kala bore Eryn.  And 
Eldar saw that he now had a son.  And Kel-Sir 
felt neglected.  And Kala bore Tarlek, Nox, 
Mereth, Herulok, and Tariana.  And Kala told
Eldar to stop mimicking the bunnies and create
something else.

And Eldar went to think.  While Eldar was
thinking, Kel-Sir created fish, and also did
create many beasts of the sea.  And Eryn did
create a great globe of light, and there was
Day.  Then Nox created a great sphere of
cheese and there was Night.  And Eryn and Nox
did argue and fuss.  And Kala sent both of 
them to their rooms.  And Tariana created
trees and also created beasts that did eat 
the bunnies, for there were far too many.

And it came to pass that when Eryn and Nox
got out of time-out, they compromised and
let the days and nights alternate.  And Kala
did smile.  And Mereth did create writing.
And she did create copious Trashy Romance
Novels and passed them out to the bunnies.
And the bunnies were afraid and learned to
hide in holes.  And Herulok created grain 
and fruits so that it may ferment and make 
beverages.  And He went down into the holes 
with the bunnies and created the Party.

And Tarlek did nothing, and many bunnies died.

It came to pass that Eldar emerged from his
study and created Humans.  And Kala stared.
And Eldar said, Oh Wait, That's Not Quite
Right, and went back into his study.

And the various Gods (excepting Eldar) did
speak to the Humans and teach them many 
things and Humans did discover that Boats
were good firewood.

It came to pass that Herulok taught the
Humans how to hold their liquor.  And many
Humans had the first Human Party on an island
in the sea.  And the island sank for no 
apparent reason.  And Tarlek grinned.

And Humans thrived and created temples to
the Gods and the Gods smiled.  And Eldar
emerged once again and created Monkeys.
And Eldar was happy.  And Kala did shake
her head in shame.

And Kel-Sir taught the Humans to fish.
And Mereth did teach them to write and to
speak.  And some Humans did learn to enjoy
reading Trashy Romance Novels.  And Tarlek
taught the bunnies to Kill Humans who enjoyed
Trashy Romance Novels.  And Eryn discovered
Fair Play and taught Trashy Romance Reading
Humans to defend themselves.

And Kala knew she must be doing something
right.

And it came to pass that Tarlek caused the 
Trashy Romance Reading Humans to become 
overzealous and they did begin to hunt down 
and to exterminate Bunnies.  And thus it was 
that the one hundred year Human and Bunnies 
war began.
