Prelude: Before the Long Count.

It is very, very long ago, in a prehistoric age, in a primeval rain forest. It is warm now, but not very humid. The dry season is beginning.

It is dark and quiet now. There are only soft murmurs and rustlings in the trees, and a faint shining on the ground, like the first light of dawn.

"I am the Sun, I am the Moon."
