From the beginning, there was Talevale and time with its guardians, with the suiting names Nepa (past), Omasietu (present) and Zazhyra (future). Time is seen as something vastly different from the physical world - time and world are separated from each other but work together. Time is eternal and always-existing, but the world and its various aspects such as life, death, light, darkness et cetera are not "guaranteed" to exist. The guardians of time are therefore immortal and viewed as very mighty. They usually do not interfere with other gods.
So, there was Talevale. Talevale was the world and all its aspects in the shape of a woman. One day she wanted children to give the world and its aspects to. Said and done, she became pregnant and after a while she gave birth to the adult twin sisters Itetali and Juakatla. However, Talevale died while giving birth, as she had to give her life to her daughters for them to "receive" the world. Therefore the twin sisters were now alone with the world and its aspects.
The twins decided to honor their mother by creating the physical world - stars, planets, rivers, mountains - with her body. They worked a long time, but soon they had created the vast world, the universe.
