| |Translator's Note: This seems to be a small excerpt from a much larger story. What I found most interesting is that it wasn't written in any dialect of Falatacot that I've ever seen before. If I had to guess, this piece was written by a culture long sundered from the Falatacot that the people of Dereth usually deal with

| |In regards to all things, the Universe strives to maintain balance. So when darkness grew in power in the form of the Three Dark Matriarchs, the Three Light Sisters arose to keep the schemes of evil in check. Drawing their powers from the rhythms of nature, each sister had a time of day in which she was the strongest.
| |
| |The first sister was the Lady of Growth and Beginnings, so her time was that of morning and unto her the Desert Flowers were sacred.
| |
| |The second sister was known as the Lady of Harvest and Justice, so her time was that of the high sun and unto her the Bloodroot Vines were sacred.
| |
| |The third sister was known as the Lady of Twilight and Rest, so her time was the evening and unto her the Alb'arean Ore was sacred...

| |...The forces of the Dark Matriarchs used false raids to get Sath'tik into the Cities of Light, under the guise as a prisoner who was rescued by the Cities of Light's armies. His charm got him introductions to higher and higher ranked individuals, until he finally met the Lady of Growth and Morning, who was sought to heal his wounds. She was enchanted with Sath'tik as she had to be. Through her, he was able to meet the other sisters and one by one he began to seduce them. So great was his power of enchantment, they all fell hopelessly and blindly in love with him...

| |...All this time, the youngest sister was doing her best to bring her sisters to their senses, but as her Deru masters began to fall into corruption, she realized that there was little she could do. The remaining Deru imbued the youngest sister with eternal youth, by turning her into a spirit that only became corporeal during certain phases of the moon. In such a state she was unable to save her country or her sisters, but as each sister lay dying, the youngest was able to turn her into a giant bulb with outer leaves so hard, neither blade nor magic could penetrate it. In this form she was also able to collect the lost teachings of her sisters, as well as preserving the teachings of her Deru masters, hiding them in secret grottos and caves, so that one day she could show others the way to undo the evil that had been caused by the Dark Matriarchs and their puppet, Sath'tik...

| |...The Light Sisters were as wise as they were powerful and each set up a temple of learning to teach what they knew. Since their powers came from balance, their students were required to follow three paths of learning -- the magic specific to each sister's domain, a combat skill and a healing art. <br><br>These temples grew in reputation and helped the cities that grew around them prosper. As generations passed, a new 'sister' was chosen from the bloodlines of the original three to keep the order. The descendants of the original sisters often intermarried in the hopes of producing stronger offspring, to the point that after many generations there was no separation of the bloodlines. Then an unheard-of thing happened, three actual sisters were chosen to inherit the positions. There was much rejoicing from the population who believed...

| |...As a reward for his excellent service, the Dark Matriarchs gave Sath'tik the reward they thought he most deserved. They twisted his body to match his warped soul and transformed him into thorn bush, whose leaves would inflict blisters on the skin of any creature that touched them, whose fruit was saturated with deadly poison and whose flowers stank of rotting flesh -- all in honor of all the deaths he had caused. Why such a reward? He was male after all, and no male should think that he could take down any female, even when ordered, and expect to get away with it...
