Description
Contest piece, modeled after the creation story of Azuyan.
Here's and excerpt:

"In the time before the world, the Great Goddess Am'hatai strode into the darkness, cupping her hands--for although she was a pony, she was a shapeshifter and could become anything--and breathed into these hands the mists of twilight, which settled into the seas, becoming the Great Ocean.

"This pleased Am'hatai. The deep rumble of her laughter echoed in the skies as she struck the seas with the electric spark of life. Am'hatai's eyes--for she had thousands with which to see all things--became the sparkling stars in the sky. With her fingertips twirling and her palette of mud and clay and seeds, she scattered land in various patterns and designs, thus creating the islands.

"Am'hatai brought forth her daughter Viridia Aether. Into Viridia's keeping, Am'hatai put the new world, and with it came careful instructions. The world needed tender care. Viridia agreed and named the world Azuyan. She brought into it light and love, and with her own radiance she brought forth the first ones, the very first ponies."

The Contest was to depict Am'hatai.
