According to legend, in the beginning there was nothing but the emptiness of the void. The universe began from a single point of sound—the sound Yo.

From this came Farom he water spirit, Teliko the Air Spirit and Pemba the Creator Spirit. Pemba created the Earth.

 

 

Yo lowered him down to Earth and as he drew closer, a great Tree grew out of him.

 

The humans who lived on Earth took refuge under that tree. This became their sanctuary.
