		The ancients speak of a time before the world was formed, before the gods existed.  In this time, there was only the Goddess, Hine. Hine lived in a vast emptiness.  There was nothing except her and the yidaki that she would play.   However, her instrument was not enough to occupy her, for everything else remained the same.  Soon Hine began to feel restless.  She yearned for something to alter the unending monotony of her existence.   Even then, something would still be missing.  Another feeling grew within Hine as well...loneliness.  She knew that even more than wanting change, she longed for a companion with whom to share things. The Goddess put her lips to the yidaki and breathed out.  She lost herself in the music of her breath.  As she played, Hine began to think about how lonely she was and how she wished for someone to share her life.  The song she played became melancholy. It wasn't long before Hine's song changed along with her thoughts. Imagining the kind of companion she yearned to have, the Goddess closed her eyes.  In her mind, she saw a tall, beautiful woman with long, flowing black hair.  She was dressed in midnight blue clothes embroidered with silver thread.  The woman was strong and athletic, yet soft to the touch.  Piercing blue eyes could chill the heart with a single look, but her dazzling smile could melt that very same heart.  She possessed a rich, melodious voice so beautiful that Hine's body shivered when she heard it join her song. The Goddess' heart pounded in her chest upon hearing the voice with her own ears as well as in her mind.   Continuing the tune, she slowly opened her eyes.  Before her stood the vision made flesh.  The dark woman grinned at the shocked expression on Hine's face as she started singing to the yidaki music.  Both tune and voice wove around each other for long moments. When they ended their song, the Goddess lowered the yidaki and watched as the dark haired beauty approached her with a smile on her lips.  Hine was the first to speak, "I'm Hine.  Your name is Rona...isn't it?" "Yes.  That's the name you gave me in your mind when you played me into life."  Rona squatted beside the smaller woman dressed in green and brown, looking at her closely.  Her eyes seemed to be made up of one thousand shades of green, and they sparkled with the wonder of this new development.  Her hair was short and golden.  Smooth curves defined her body, from the flare of hips, to the generous swell of breasts, to the defined cut of muscles.  Rona could tell that Hine's compact body would be much shorter than her own if they stood beside each other. Though Hine had long craved the presence of someone with whom to talk, now that her wish was right next to her, she found herself very shy.  She didn't know how to handle the blue eyes studying her.   Looking down, her fingers traced idle patterns along the surface of the yidaki.  She sighed softly, "I can't believe this.  You're here, and I don't know what to say." Rona stilled Hine's hand with her own.  "Then don't say anything right now.  I'd like to hear you play again.   Just let yourself go."  Hine shivered from the touch of the dark goddess and nodded.  Closing her eyes, she took a breath and played.  Rona listened silently for a time before whispering close to a small ear, "Let your mind wander with the music.  Hear the images...see the song. Make it real."  She pulled back and softly added her voice to Hine's music. Rona opened her mind like the wings of a great bird.  Her voice took flight, dipping under and soaring over the steady drone at the foundation of Hine's song.  It swirled around Hine's being, caressing her senses, moving through her and urging her on. The Goddess followed her companion's voice deeper into the tune...deeper into herself.  She sank down until nothing mattered except the music.  It swirled faster and faster around her mind, becoming more solid with each passing moment.  Rona's mind followed that of the blonde goddess. In the music, a lithe and beautiful young goddess formed and began dancing before Hine and Rona. Brown skin covered wiry muscles.  Her lips were full and she had black eyes that flashed with fire.  She wore a short brown leather skirt and top and small gold bracers.  Her body swayed and twisted in tight circles.   Long curly black hair with copper streaks flew about her head like the flames of a bright blaze.  She was an awesome sight to behold, both fearsome and seductive in the heat of the power pouring from her. As Hine and Rona's music intertwined and merged, their spirits gave the dancer life.  At once they both knew their daughter's name...Arohi.
