When Feredolobidy has given birth to a son from Risumar, all the gods will give them their good wishes and the mother goddess will go to Edartnaspal to ask her what her son's task will be. And the goddess with the black gaze will tell her: "Daughter of Gelgmus, the clouds have flown and the stars have separated to remove the veil that covers what will be and, among the skies, I see what will be written in the head of your son; his steps go straight towards the sky, to touch it[1] and his voice will be the echo of the news in the hearts of men, which announces the inevitable change; the last, bearer of light and shadows, of an end and a beginning that will unite in him; what I see is just a reflection, a glimpse of the truth that shines beyond the stars; and your son will be the star that will shine in the depths of the eternal night; for this reason the name you will give him will be Scartintus[2] and it will be the narrow entrance through which men will not pass; but the gods who will pass through it will also be few." And the goddess with the crystal eyes Will say to the goddess gaenerge[3]: "Scartintus will be his name and I will be the guardian of his steps, because we gods cannot stray from the path written behind the stars, although I am confused by your words." And the goddess with the black gaze will say to Feredolobidy: "The eyes of your son will see beyond what the gods can see and he will read the words hidden behind the lights of sky, where the lives of all the gods and all men were written, in words older and more eternal than the gods."
And the goddess will go to her ice castle with her son, in the waters behind the island Colatius and there Scartintus will be a child and wil be young until Sulguded[4] arrives at his home, who will ask Feredolobidi for her son to teach him to hunt animals that live in the waters of the sea. And the god will take Scartintus to the Caulus, where there are whales, seals, birds and crabs and will teach him to catch some to summon others. And the young god will take a crab, which are the animals whose eyes see what the other animals do not see. And the crab will speak to the god in those words that the other gods do not know and will tell him not to kill him because he will have words in his mouth that the god will want to hear. And the god, fearful, will agree, will not kill the animal and will listen to him. And Sulguded will see the young god speaking with the animal, but he will not know the words that one will give to the other. Then he will say to him: "Young god with ice eyes, I have seen you talking to that animal and I have heard words that are not those that we gods recognize." But the young god will be prudent and tell Sulguded that what must be will not allow him to tell him, in the words of the gods, what the crab will tell him. And the young god will leave the Caulus, when Sulguded does not see him, leaving the sky of the gods, to the limit of all the skies. Then Risumar will go to Sulguded, when he knows that his son is in his castle, and he will ask the god of the seas to give him his young son. And the god will tell him that the young god is not with him, but Risumar will not believe him and, enraged, will throw lightning at him, which will not touch the god and will reach Inamamale and Rocaa, burning them. And Sulguded will raise the waters and throw them towards Risumar, but they will not touch the god and will reach Kendaloronay, devouring it. Dadulaquib[5] will go with the six sons[6], because all the Kendaloroneans pay her many tributes. And he who strikes the ground[7] will also go to his father. And the lorus[8] of the Aquipsmalorus will accompany the great goddess of the seas. And Feredolobidi and her two fathers[9] will go with Risumar and they will be joined by Naspalebe, leaving the son[10] to follow the mother[11], and Nergmo[12], leaving the daughter[13] to protect his kingdom, and the two brothers, the king of the white star[14] and the king of the red star[15]. And the lorus of the Saetidesmalorus will serve the great god of the skies. However, all the gods will not join one and the other and Etaste and her daughter[16], the one with the black eyes, the one who takes men[17] and the one who brings darkness to men[18] will leave the battle.
And Tasdolobidy will fight with his mother on Colatius Island. This will lift the land that faces Inte, where the goddess will be, and make it move violently, killing the Gelcilcians. So, to stop him, Naspaleba will make him sleep and sleep will cover the Kendaloroneans. But the goddess, distressed by believing that she has killed the son, will give herself the dream. Then mother and son will not wake up again and sleeping men and animals will not eat, so they will die between the dreams. And the brother kings and the twin brothers[19] of the seas will go to the tundra where Terfen, Fara and Liscray are. And Ginit will take away the light of sky, so that men will not see his steps and the animals of the night will devour the animals of the day. But Borxa will knock down Lospidomus, who will fall into the waters, and the god who does not see[20] will make them move and devour him. But this one, before dying in the waters, will take the gatiort[21], whose edge will be stripped of the fire by the waters, with his hands and will stick it in the heart of the god of water, who will die there, carried away by the waves of the sea, therefore that many animals will die of thirst. Then Ben will raise waves that will touch the sky and throw them against the ground, where Ginit will be, devouring the three cities, but the waves will get out of his control and capture him, drowning him in his waters and taking him along with the body of the god king.
Then Risumar and Feredolobidy will see Sulguded and Acipsiudas in lands where the Symbaians live, where green joins the cry of Caulus. And Scartintus' parents will find the inevitable end. From Cipte they will see the arrival of Sulguded and his brother, the one who gives rise to the Waters from skies. The sky will darken with clouds full of anger, while the sea will roar. The frightened Symbaians will observe from a place behind the mountains, recognizing the time of their death in the hands of the gods who govern their lives. Lightning will fall from the sky, illuminating the night with violent flashes, while the waves will rise to the sky, threatening to swallow the ground. The winds will howl with a pained voice, uprooting trees and throwing animals into the clouds. Then, Risumar will launch a lightning bolt at Sulguded, but it will not touch him and the flash will reach Tantulimalte, setting the men's bodies on fire. For this reason, Sulguded will launch another lightning bolt towards Risumar, but it will not touch him and the flash will reach Targathe and Emun, causing the crops to burn, so the animals will die of hunger and the men will not be able to eat their meat. Then Feredolobidy will widen the waters of the Epy and the Intoetasty, breaking the ice and taking them to the Stigie and Belelumpicie, cities among which Acipsiudas will be found. But these will not touch him and the banks will overflow, reaching the cities, breaking the dikes and walls. Then the young god will make large sets of water fall on Elvenmeler, the city where Gelgmus' daughter will be, but its drops will not touch her and the water will accumulate in the streets until it reaches the heads of the Symbaians. Then Sulguded will raise the waters, forming several waves, and launch them against Cipte, but the waters will rise above him and devour him, along with Risumar and his wife, Cipte and the Symbaians who live behind the mountains.
From Udgen, Caesadargus will keep the waters under his control to protect his city. While in Egacib, Reltutedy will gather the waves of the Caulus to defend it. In Inte, Calgmus will wait while in Papscrande, the violent winds of Gelgmus will carry away the loroacips that will try to enter it. The gods will not leave their city for ten lifetimes of men, shaking the earth and hitting the skies, until Caesadargus will send an unstoppable tidal wave that will carry away Udgen and the god, drowning the inhabitants and submerging the city under the waters. always. And Reltutedy, controlled by anger, will release violent waves that will completely flood Egacib, taking it away and the god leaving with it. Calgmus, seeing this, will invoke a disease that will devastate Inte, causing its fields to wither. And Gelgmus will raise strong winds from the earth that will tear Papscrande from it. And only the parents of the goddess of the sea will remain standing.
The skies will darken and the seas will become rough when Dadulaquib, the goddess of the great fingers, with the water lorus, whose forms will rise above the waves, sees Nergmus, the god of the golden hair, followed by snow lorus, that will come down from the mountains. And, with a scream of fury from the sky, the lorosaetides will enter Rumaralorus, which will be the first to fall, fearing the strength of the frozen armies, trapped by an eternal winter. And Dadulaquib, from the depths of the waters, will summon her armies, who, emerging with a shout, raising enormous columns of water that, crossing the ice, will reach Farinte and Saetidodae, taking the two cities, taking the bodies of the Gelcilcians in their cold hands. And the gods will fight in the skies and the seas, with thunder rolling and waves crashing against the ice. And Sotir and Pantidoty will be battlefields, where lorus will enter with fury. And Dadulaquib will emerge from the depths of the sea, while Nergmus will descend from the skies, with lightning and dark and violent clouds. And the two will touch, roaring, shaking the foundations of the earth, taking their own lives. And, after the fight is over, when the dust has stopped and the waters are calm, there will be no cities of men and all the lorus will lie dead on the battlefield. Through the silence, there will only be the echo of the destruction that these will have left behind.
And, under the shadows of a lonely sky, among the smoking ruins and rubble of fallen cities, the goddesses Edartnaspal, Etaste and Calgmus will meet, together with the gods Imbidmus, Rospomus and Gelgmus, seeing the empty sky of men. And, from the skies, an echo will resound, announcing the return of Scartintus, who will be gripped by a strong pain for the lack of his parents, which will be reflected in his crystal eyes, while the gods will approach and, with his hearts full of sorrow, he will say to them: "Brothers! Why have the skies written this horrible story? What must be has no compassion even with the gods." And his words will echo in the silence of death. The gods will surround him and Edartnaspal will place a hand on his head, saying: "Young god, you see what the other gods do not see, your eyes have told you what was to happen before it happened and you have moved away from us to fulfill what was appointed to you." And Etaste will bow her head[22]. Calgmus and Gelgmus will maintain silence and their gaze will be lost in the devastated horizon, searching for the image of his daughter. Imbidmus will collect the bodies of men and the bodies of animals and Rospomous will protect the small trees that will be growing under his hands. In this dark moment, among the ruins of a fallen sky, the gods will mourn for those they loved and protected.
