"And then the Eternal Radiance spoke to the two First People: 'This world is your home. I have gathered My light here for you, Promethiades, to use. Fashion this place into a garden where you both might live. I leave the sun-side prepared for your careful tending. Plant it well. Care for it, both of you, that it may become a Garden of Light. And you, Pyrrha, obey Promethiades and aid in this holy work.

"My children, I leave you two reminders of My presence here. The first is the light of My hand in the sky as a heavenly Trellis to support your endeavors. And second is the darkness of My absence on the night-side to remind you of what could yet be should you fail to make this place a Garden of Light.'"

—from the Holy Ovidiana
