"Kaa was a Goddess and she ruled from the Moon. But on Earth man grew proud. The princes of the world said, 'Let us put a silver collar on Kaa, so that she will be made to work in our fields and build us great cities.' And so they did, and Kaa became a slave while the princes became like gods. But Kaa's daughter, Alku, broke the silver collar and Kaa escaped back to the Moon. And in her wrath Kaa set fire to the world. All the fields, all the cities, all the princes were burned to ash. But Alku knew some men were virtuous, and she hid them in a cave deep in the Earth. And then she flew to the Moon and begged to her mother for mercy on our behalf. And Kaa felt great pity for the virtuous men, and so she spared them and said, 'Let these men be called, 'Sarl,' for they are my children.' And Alku flew back to the Earth carrying a bag of seeds and a skin of blood. She scattered the seeds, and plants grew. She poured the blood, and animals sprang forth. And that's why leaves and blood are green: because they come from the Moon."
