Once the Cavnod had been put in place by Intredu, the Triple Goddess (consisting of Cren, Treven and Hesbrid), they decided that it should have life, just as there was life on Addewid, but they disagreed on how life should take place within the Cavnod. Cren and Treven felt that life within the Cavnod should have a beginning and an end, unlike the eternal life experienced by the Henin themselves, and all of the creatures that Cren had developed on Inniscren. They felt that the exerience of something they called "birth", as the beginning of life, and "death", as the end of life, would be the perfect cycle of an existence. There would be a beginning and an end, something that none of the Henin had experienced. Hesbrid, on the hand, didn't like the idea of "death" at all. She felt that once she had given birth to a new Spirit that Spirit should continue to live, without end. But with respect to Death, Cren and Hesbrid were in strong disagreement on what should happen after Death. Cren felt that the Spirits of the Dead should be taken out of the Cavnod and brought into Addewid with newly constructed bodies prepared for them, bodies that would not age or wear out. Treven, however, wanted the Dead to be reborn, their Spirit placed into a newly born creature, with a new life to be experienced, but neither Cren nor Hesbrid liked like that idea. Cren wanted one Life for each Body and Hesbrid didn't like the idea of Spirits experiencing more than one Life. But it was Cren's decision to bring only the Spirits of humans back into Addewid that was the issue frought with the most conflict, leading to the total dissolution of the relationship between the three of them. Treven rejected this action and set out to find a place to receive the spirits of all creatures rejected by Cren. She would not allow even a single Spirit to be cast aside by Cren, and Hesbrid was with her in this. The creation of the Cavnod was, in and of itself, an act of grave concern amongst the Henin, and the creation of new life within the Cavnod was even more egregious, but to create life in the Cavnod that would eventually find a home in Addewid, life that would possess the attributes of Henin, life that would possess free will and creative instincts that would exceed the capacity of the Henin themselves? That was intolerable to many of the Henin. |
