When God, glowing over his head
When God took into his hand
the halo glowing over his head
and held it high, it became the sun.
God waved his staff,
and the nothingness was ripped into two,
one forming the sky and the other the land.
However, the line was skewed,
thus creating mountains and valleys,
"It was a mistake, but it's just as well",
said God.
When God drew pictures on the land,
grass and trees grew,
and birds and animals came to life.
God then envisioned creatures that looked like himself,
but these creatures were too similar to himself and were a failing,
so he colored their wings charcoal,
made holes in their halos,
named them Haibane
and tucked them away in the back of his head.
After that, God created human beings that did not have wings or halos.
This time, it was a satisfactory creation.
Completely content,
God, despite himself, fell asleep.
The Haibane, destined to be erased
were hence able to escape from his head.
When God awoke, the Haibane were already floating in the sky.
However, ever tolerant of mistakes,
God decided to let the Haibane and their tiny world be.
This is why the town of Glie is still floating somewhere today,
where it is neither on land nor sea.
