Will and Bill

(word-help below)

The Twayne are called Will and Bill; Will short for Wilder-- wild animal-- which he seems like at times, and Bill short for Bilewit, as he tends towards bilewitness.

Elemental Beings

The Wolken is like the humid atmosphere, as it is a cloud of being covering the Earth. Its nature is to ever reach out of its formless potential as does a writhing cloud makes shapes.

The Drygand is like water that fluidly fits to any shape that it encounters, as he shape-shifts to fit the circumstance. His nature is manifest-form to fit external requirements.

Man is like fire, which in Nature is a rare, accidental occurrence that consumes all before it. Man's nature is to burn with light and heat, to billow, flicker, and leap like ever-forming flames, and to leave char and ash behind.

The other living species are like stones which have been shaped by the elements, as the species have been shaped by natural selection-- and are now being shaped as well by human selection.

The Alfar are like air and water and fire and stone, having the nature of the Wolken, of the Drygand, of Man, and of the species that form the integrated Web of Life. All these elements are in the Alfar mixed in just proportion to make a new creature that fits salubriously within the whole Web, as within the array of elements.

The Byzener of the Menning

(word-help at end)

Deep in the endless Cloud-mind of the great Wolken, the Byzener blidhely weaves the Shape of the new Menning, evenso as it is woven in the minds of men who walk the Eorth.

Of many threads is woven this knot-work, to make a Tover-targ.

The Byzener, in the greening way, weaves this thwarly Maze-web that holds the Menning in its setness.

(word-help at end)

The Drygand is the Towyrding King, the King-to-Come, who brings back Edhlifrith.

He edhallows the Lands and Waters, wakens the Wights who lie hidden there.

He brings back the Sagen-verden of the Forn-tide with his Eormen-siden.

He brings the Cherrenge to Gumenn, from which arise the Alfar-- Frith-thanes to the Drygand.

Where he walks is the Neorxna-weg-- the Greening Way-- from which springs the new Menning, which he sows in orts he blesses with seeding, to then spread over the Eorth.

He sets all Life to quicken and rise to overwyrdhe and overgrow the Searuvel with the Weohsa-- the Holy Growth of the Life-drang.

And when all the Edhli has waxed once more to fullness about the Klode and thrives again in Gemaenwela, will the Wolken then move freely as the Luft through the whole of Eorth, and the Drygand shall sit in Wealddom of All-- the King at the Heort of all Life.
