1In the
beginning, there was no heaven or earth-only a bottomless deep and a world of
mist. Everything was shapeless and formless- the earth, the sky, the sea, and
the air were almost all mixed up.


3One
day, Tungkung Langit told his wife that he would be away for some time to end
the chaotic disturbances in the flow of time and in the position of things.
However, Alunsina sent the sea breeze to spy on Tungkung Langit. This
made him very angry upon knowing about it. A quarrel between them
followed. He lost his temper and divested his wife of powers and drove
her away. No one knew where Alunsina went;
she merely disappeared.

5Tungkung Langit came down to the Middleworld and
created the land; then he planted this with grasses, trees, and flowers. He
took Alunsina’s treasured jewels and scattered them in the sky, hoping that
when his wife would see them she might be induced to return home. The
goddess’ necklace became the stars, her comb the moon, and her crown the sun.
However, despite all these Alunsina did not come back.
