Alright, now I've posted three poems in Fervian, and decided I'd bring out something a little heftier than a poem or two. Here we have, in Fervian and English, an entire Fervian folktale. This folktake tells the story of why water puts out fires, and why fire can evaporate water. It also tells of why thunder and lightning strike, and why only thunder and rain are in the air, and only fire is on the land.
A’ye’ela y’Temo, Iinira, Kratau, ein’Aleli
The Tale of Flame, Sky, Thunder, and Rain
Orole-ar-an, Temo ein’Iinira dai-an a’hakar-iaraa y’gra’a. Temo oko’a-an Iinira di’irri bi’marre, viarre-oha a’aierka-ar ein’durereh-oha.

Cearu ve’ker-an qwan’zikai Temo, ein’jeia Iinira qwan’kai’cearu. Kratau aerneta a’qiarra y’marre ein’areir-ce.
“TEMO, DAG KE’KERAH INKI QWAN’A’KANDU!”
Iinira dai-an waraaka-an, zuru’a Kratau dai-an ti’tire-for qiarra ein’nei-dai-an owala la’ra’i. Oroki, Kratau dai-an xakar-for ein’guhara, ein’ceara waa-an a’mutaa-kah.

~Translation to English
"Long ago, Flame and Sky were the closest of friends. Flame chased Sky in circles every morning, stirring the clouds and laughing. Rain never harmed Flame, and Flame never made Rain disappear like he does now-a-days. Thunder, however, was jealous of their happiness. He sought to destroy Flame, and take Sky for himself. Thunder broke the peace of morning with his voice.
“FLAME, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FIGHT!”
Sky was shocked, because Thunder was usually calm and never made trouble. Now, Thunder was crafty and smart, and he had a plan.
He called again, “FLAME, COME HERE AND FIGHT ME!”
Flame never backed down from a fight and charged into battle. He lashed out at Thunder, hoping the fight would end soon. In a shocking twist, Thunder threw Rain at Flame and Rain began disappearing into the clouds. Rain struck back at Flame, thinking he intentionally struck him. When Rain’s strike touched Fire, Fire began disappearing too. Flame’s pain was intense. He was forced to retreat to the earth, far from his friend Sky.
As Flame retreated from the above-land and to the ground, Thunder laughed and Rain crashed down with anger. Sky was sad, but she could do nothing. And now, Flame stays upon the earth and never the above-land, and when Thunder laughs and Rain crashes down with anger, Flame hides himself under the stones with sorrow because he can’t see his friend Sky."
This took about two hours... it wasn't quite simple!
Will be editing to ping the few people on my other posts who liked my poetry.
