Chapter 5

Weh <-> Sra / Collectors <-> Borrowers

In the beginning there was only Weh. It was a dark and monotonous time.
Bleak. Empty. To break the boredom, Weh created an egg. The egg hatched and
Sra emerged. Sra was bright and vibrant and full of life. Weh got jealous of
Sra and squished it into the ground, leaving itself alone again. But the
remains of the squished Sra gave life to another Sra which was even more
vibrant and vivacious than its predecessor. The new Sra, now knowing the
jealous nature of Weh escaped and sprouted life everywhere it went, fleeing
Weh. So Weh created the Collectors. They were the agents of Weh made to
capture Sra and bring Sra back before it was Sra's natural time to die. In
response, Sra gave life to the Borrowers whose task was to interfere with Weh
and its Collectors and borrow more time for Sra to die of natural causes.
Collectors thus claimed lives, while Borrowers protected them.

At times, the Borrowers were successful and Sra lived to its natural death and
lands flourished with life and prosperity. In other times, the Collectors
caught up with Sra and the lands became bleaker and more monotonous until the
new Sra emerged.

This is the cycle of Sra, seeking to borrow time from Weh.
