Babuyanen

Origin Story
In the beginning, there was a vast expanse of emptiness, devoid of any existence. Yet within this emptiness, there floated a massive orb that contained three beings: Babuyan, Mindoro, and Yalen. Babuyan was the eldest, and they were wise and compassionate. Mindoro was envious and destructive, while Yalen was kind-hearted and gentle.

As time passed, the orb began to crack and buckle, and eventually, it shattered, releasing Babuyan, Mindoro, and Yalen into the void. Babuyan, with their divine power, created the Rathnir, a lush and fertile world teeming with life. Babuyan watched over their creation with love and care, but they felt lonely and longed for companionship.

Moved by this loneliness, Babuyan decided to create a new race of beings to inhabit Rathnir. Babuyan tore off their own fingers and formed humans in their image. These humans were given the gift of free will, and they flourished on Rathnir, building communities and civilizations.

But Mindoro, consumed by envy, looked upon the humans with malice. Fueled by jealousy, Mindoro unleashed destruction upon Rathnir, scorching the lands and killing many of the inhabitants. Babuyan was heartbroken and wept tears of sorrow, which flowed to become the seas, and their body became the mountains and land of Rathnir.

Yalen, witnessing the devastation caused by Mindoro, felt a deep sense of empathy and compassion. Yalen transformed into the sun, shining its warm light upon Rathnir, giving life and hope to the survivors. Yalen also decided to reincarnate Babuyan's last creation, the humans, allowing them to be reborn and continue their existence.

Mindoro, in a fit of jealousy, created the moon to bring darkness to Rathnir, forever locked in a cosmic battle with Yalen, creating the cycle of night and day. Yalen and Mindoro fought each day, with the sun rising in the morning and setting in the evening, and the moon casting its glow in the night sky.
