This may need some tweaking still. It potentially could be part of the Anwyn story (See Right Column). But I haven't yet decided.
How I Came to Be
The great one dreamed with me. I, the Newling, remember. "Come, and I will show you" he said.
Hunched at his feet, arms wrapped around up-drawn knees, I listened to tales, time-worn. I heard not as if hearing with the ears but rather as one examines relics from erstwhile ages. This is how I came to be.
The first morning I arose to a sun rooted in the horizon. It's plush roundness seemed a celebration of my arrival. The sensation was not unlike riding through the sea on the back of a dolphin, above the surface there are glimpses of sparkles of light bouncing off the water. A quick breath, then down where watery colors sway like mingling curls of gold and green. Then up again, crashing through the taut surface to take another quick breath. Disorienting then illuminating, in turn. This is how I came to be.
The first night, as I lay down atop the warm sand, the great one dreamed with me. I, the Newling. "Come, and I will show you" he said.
The night-sky's lights, shone upon that same sea. Then out across we walked. Together we moved along an avenue of glass, through which the swirling currents below were still visible. As we did, he spoke of many things, and I saw all of that which was before - before the great one dreamed with me. This is how I came to be.
