For a very long time, there wasn’t even day and night, for the sun didn’t rise and there was no earth except mysterious and magical creatures only, and there were two small genies flying very high to the point they were able to scare the people who were passing by, because they were two genies.
One day, a great sky goddess appeared to them as they were flying and fighting a lot, in what seemed like an endless game, but they were trying to kill each other, and the game was very dangerous but magical, and they were fighting each other for the favor of the great sky goddess, for each of the genies loved her from all the genies.
So the one who said the most: “What do you love most in life? One thing only, so I can’t offer you more than that.” The first genie advanced in conversation toward one of the great goddesses, and expressed to her his desire to fly above the mountains, above the clouds and the wind, and go out of the world.
So the great goddess said to him: “Are you sure that you don’t want anything else? So the first genie changed the scary speech about the skies she told him that had happened in the dreams like this great power, and he confirmed to the goddess that there was nothing he could make him more than that.
So the second genie flew above the mountains, continuing his path toward the sun, and in the clouds he was gone, and they couldn’t see him again when he flew his path toward the universe.
Then the great goddess turned to the other genie and said to him: “And you also, oh other one, what is the most precious thing that attracts you more?” The second genie was also terrified of flying a lot of height, so he advanced in thinking for a short time, then he looked at the sky, and looked at the earth, then looked once more at the earth, and the color of panic appeared on his face, and he said: “I want to accomplish all kinds of things before the sun sets, otherwise I will die when I return to the earth.”
In that moment, they began to hear a terrible sound like a distant shout but it was approaching quickly, and they could flee with their own terrible face that the oldest one was expecting to disappear completely in the greatest hurricane in history.
But before his fall, the second great genie killed his great genie mother with love and regret for his life, but the first genie escaped from his chest when the first one was escaping, and was sorry for his love and thought some time before choosing his desire, and if not for that, his mother would not have been lost.
So both were happy flying themselves with their same power, and the sky goddess had tied them together with friendship regarding all the things that bring the sky: the sun and the moon, and from then on both genies were flying themselves with their same power: the first one who gives the sun his cloud every morning, then goes down to the earth after a complete day, and gives the world his heat, then goes up to the sky and picks up his moon himself and flies with his moon all night, and both were happy with their same power.
