from The Shaggy Saga

(word-help below)

The Lodestone was fostered like a bairn in the womb, deep in the Wolken over long time. And when it was ready to be born, the Wolken called to the Twayne, to their marrow, so softly. And they were led as if blind into the Mistryne, going by feel only, and the murmurs in their blood, toward the Lodestone. And in a long wayward faring through the Twyrymet they neared its stead. And when the Lodestone was found, it was made known to them that this was not theirs to have, but they must bring it to the Drygand.

Now the Drygand had lived wild and free, frisking about the Edhli at play, diving in and out of the body-shapes of all Life-kinds in an endless frolic, falling from one kind to the next as the samen-flowod flowed twixt them in the Net-working of the Edhli. And so over time he had learned all there could be known of the Whole of Life, its hungers and fears, gladness and sorrow, in all of its Kinren, his bredhern. He was beloved Child of the Wolken, free to play as he would, but never straying far from Its hearth.

But the Drygand had felt the coming of the Dilgoth as Man strengthened his Rykedom over the Edhli and knew the worsening harm it had wreaked, and so he saw his childhood coming to an end, and when the Twayne came to him, led straight by the Stone, the Drygand saw that he would undergo a cherrenge, and become a new, greater Being. The Lodestone drew him mightily, but he felt it a hard thing he must risk, to be made over, and he quailed from giving himself to it and knew not how he could do it. But the Wolken murmured within him, easing his fears, sending him on, and so he came to the Twayne, who bore the Lodestone both at once within them, as it was a living stone, and together they clasped their hands about his head, and by the Will of the Wolken the Lodestone was dubbed onto the Drygand's head, through the handhold of the Twayne, and it came and melded to his brain. And many things happened there which cannot be told, as much that had been worked in the deep Mistryne of the Wolken now worked quickly within the ferth of the Drygand, edmaking him, bringing his being and knowing and life-drang under a new mynt-- to fight the Dilgoth so that the Edhli could live on, that Life could live. And when the Cherrenge was fullfilled and the Drygand made into Halleth of the Edhli, he then came and in like way dubbed the Lodestone back onto the Twayne, but with something of the cherrenged Drygand to it now, so as it melded to their own selfness, and edmade with that a new whole, an Aukin-self, they each of them, Wildeor and Bilewit, became Thegns of the Drygand, Drygand-Twynechts, guided always by the Lodestone to fight for the Sake of the Edhli, and for the new Menning which is the only hope for Man.

And so these three, Drygand, Wildeor and Bilewit, went everywhere, offering to gift the Lodestone to everyone fit to undergo the Cherrenge, Wights of the lands and of the waters then becoming Land-drygands and Water-drygands, and the Alfs becoming Drygand-alfs and Kynechts, and to Man-kind they told of the Dilgoth and of the Edhli-menning Sake, and some that were ready anfonned the Lodestone into them, becoming thereby true Alfar.

And that is how this great Cherrenge in Time has happened, out of fearsome need, to stop the Dilgoth and to make a new Menning of Edhlifrith, so that Life may live.
