Ranying Atala

A benevolent sky god who descended to earth, newly formed by Hatala. There he found seven eggs made of earth, one of which contained a man and one a woman. He returned to the sky to get breath for them, meaning to give them immortality, eternal youth, and all good things, but during his absence the wind god Sangsang Angai breathed live in them, as well as the germs of death.
