Creation washes up on a beach alone. Soon Destruction, who is his counterpart appears. Creation makes life, and Destruction unable to create, simply destroys, yet they live in a certain balance. But when Creation creates Humanity (Marta) for companionship a bitter strugle ensues. Humanity becomes vain and independent. Creation strikes out at her. Humanity begins to embrace Destruction’s path. Only with the gift of love can Creation finally defeat Destruction.
