Book 0 (English Translation)

To the Muses who dance and frolic,
The Muses who dream and wander
Into the House of Dreams,
The Tricksters gather and sing
As the Subterranean Realm of
Tears, starting to tremble
Violently with a screaming wail.
The Crafty Tricksters entertain,
As the Celestial Angels dance,
The House of Dreams radiates
With joy and laughter.

Ye who witnessed the great event,
Who saw the Great Trickster Evas,
The Silver-Tongued Storyteller
That has told several bizarre tales.
The Greater Trickster Evas¹ speaks,
As words seep from his lips,
The audience gazes with awe and wonder
Of the Great Trickster's great talents.

So speak, Great Trickster!
Entertain not only my Muses,
But the entire Universe,
Tells us your tales of the Gods,
Of tragedy and love,
And let the House of Dreams
Become radiant with bliss!

Yes, Klias of the House of Dreams,
One must remember that what
My tongue will speak are not stories;
But rather a tale of Dreams,
What once was fiction will now
Become the Rawness of Reality.
So Muses, you who are ready
To hear the story of this world
And the Fictional Realm in that we stand!

And we have seen them, O Muses,²
The masses cheered with glee,
Drunken with the pleasant speech
From the Greater Trickster Evas.
The glass of golden amber whiskey
Ice glistening an exquisite hue,
With the Realm of Tears once
Roaring again with howling wails,
Swearing to the Gods, we declare,
That the rumbling howl changed
Into sounds of sorrowful screaming.

But we clapped with joy,
The Greater Trickster started
A plethora of words started
Seeping from his delicate lips
Blasting like the harsh gales,
As the other Tricksters danced.

Book 1 (WIP)

When our world arrived into
The Realm of Existence,
As Zero³ and One⁴ touched
Their hands, their offspring
Fell into the lifeless milky
Tonic of Life, in which
Soft-Spoken Dyovyos given
The lifeless ones a breath
Of invigorating pristine life, to
Experience the stimulating
Sensations of blissful life.
Alas, for one to be alive was
An ecstatic vehemence,
What we adored and cherished
For several eons as creation.

But who knows if Zero and One
Existed, if they have given birth
To the Soft-Spoken Dyovyos or
The Belligerent-Minded Xhayos?
For no man has ever questioned
At the Beginning of Time, as now
They are all shattered and naked
To all of Creation's Eyes.
The Gods cannot comprehend nor
Understand the rudimentary
Concepts of their creation,
How their ancestors shaped
And formed into manifestations
Of Concepts, an unfathomable riddle.

But Muses, one must not fall into
The despair of an unsolvable mystery!
The moment when the Lifeless Tonic
Is given the Secret Essences of Wonder,
The Tonic started to churn aggressively,
An equivocal enigma spurred induced,
Soft-Spoken Dyovyos had spoken,
“Rise, you who came from the Lifeless womb,
I redeem you with the Breathe of Life,
To experience the new stimulation that
Has been brought into Existence.
Feel the fresh wind against your skin,
One who was formed from the Womb!
I shall protect you from the destructive
Belligenrnet-Minded Hayos, who seeks
To destroy the new creation of us!”
And as the last word slipped from radiant
Soft-Spoken Dyovyos, Wicked-Doer Hayos
Having heard all of their warnings and commands,
As Belligerent-Minded Xhayos sought to
Shatter⁵ the Good-Willed Dyovyos,
Which Good-Willed Dyovyos did not know yet.
