Yumalaiella, a goddess who sang life into things (no less than the sun). Yumalaiella had five siblings (also gods and goddesses). They were killed by an evil god who wanted Yumalaiella to “sing back to life” a fallen warrior — but she saw blood on that wicked god’s hands. She refused — but the wicked god shouted fireclouds and cast a spell “from the black thunderhead.” The bitter irony: they stole Yumalaiella’s memory so she didn’t even know what was wrong (and that she had the power to sing her siblings back to life). Well, one rainy day, a statue would lead her to the light.
You, Yumalaiella, you weren’t the only special one — but you, Yumalaiella, you were my favorite one.
