In the beginning of time, during the upheaval of floods and as the magnetic forces of the planet were still forming, a supernatural being emerged from the nothingness of that abyss and harnessed these chaotic energies. This being, Raven, collected and expressed these energies and ushered in the first dawn. Raven brought about the sun to rise.
