Ye magnificente beggininge of Brazile

Ye Beggininge of it Alle
The great Tupan, Lord of thunder and light, descended upon the earth after his marriage with the fair Goddess, Arasy, with the intention of creating a world that would entertain Them during Their infinitude. He created all the mountains, valleys, animals, trees, rivers and lakes upon Earth, including a hill in Areguá, the exact point where He stood while doing his creation. And after He was done, He started working on his most magnificent creatures: a man and a woman.

Tupã searched upon all Earth for the materials he would need. He crafted a paste with a mixture of the finest clay, magical juice extracted from yerba mate, blood from the mighty short-tailed nighthawk, several of the most beautiful leaves of all, and a centipede. He sculpted two statues of His image from the mixture, and left them dry under the sun. And then he instilled life into them.

This is how the honourable first inhabitants of my nourishing land: the tupi-guaranis thought the world was created. And this is also how I begin this, that shall be the greatest compendium of the colossal deeds achieved by my most magnificent people. Actually, I have not begun it yet, this was merely an introduction. The beginning would be something more like:

"And this was also how Capiota thought the world was created. For Capiota was one of the prehistoric grandfathers of the tupis. A mighty warrior, and most attuned with the life-giving and life-taking forces of Nature. Capiota held the high ideals of living with nature highly, like most of the other peace-loving indians."

There. That would be the beginning. In fact, that is the beginning, if you didn't notice it yet.
