Life was good for the women and men upon the Earth. Praboh’s breath did fill their lungs, Daboh’s brightness did delight their eyes, and Perun’s might did fill their hearts with piety and trust in divine power.

People spread to all parts of the world to live amongst plants and animals, cutting down trees for houses and hunting game for their meat and hides.

Life was good for them, for they lacked naught, and the gods protected them from hunger, cold, and beasts. And so they multiplied, and the more there was of them, the more Praboh rejoiced. He believed there would soon be no piece of land the people had not discovered and no secret they had not confessed to gods: and the gods enjoyed their prayers, for they were sweet as nectar and did fill them with power.

Meanwhilst, the Earth did change under the influence of the humans. Tree branches did kneel before the blows of their axes, hunted beasts did lie in rows, and fertile thickets did turn into silent deserts.
