I'm going to translate this into Vtayn. Is there bad mistakes with English?
In First Era, people were children. Treecats spent most of their time in Dark World. Both people and treecats got their nourishment from nature. It was abundant because Light World was still young. But Coxa [Sun] doesn’t let anything stay unchanged in Light World. Savannah replaced the great forests of fruit trees. Saber cats appeared with savannah. Treecats also needed to struggle to get their food.
Boys lived in their mothers’ villages, like girls. But one man called Cambla [Shaman’s apprentice] used to wander in the savannah. He met a young treecat called Lïkieda [Young Treecat]. Lïkieda was starving. Cambla gave him jerga [a domestic animal] milk. Lïkieda followed Camba to his mother’s village. But when they arrived, they saw that saber cats had killed all the jergas. That made Lïkieda very angry with them because he liked jerga milk very much. Then he sent his spirit to Dark World and forbid saber cats coming to the village.
When people of other villages heard of how Lïkieda had saved the village, they also invited treecats to live with them. Thus, adolescent boys were sent to other villages wandering with a cat [an initiation ritual]. Thereafter treecats have lived with people, protected them, and helped shamans. And adolescent boys and treecats have been sent to other villages.
