In the beginning, there were five.
在一切开始的时候，有五位虫神
Yul, the Honest Worm. Akka, the Worm of Secrets. Eir, the Keeper of Order. Ur, the Ever-Hunger. Xol, Will of the Thousands. And they were Virtuous.
诚实虫神，尤尔。隐秘虫神，阿卡。秩序虫神，艾尔。饥饿虫神，厄尔。千之意志，尸飕。并且它们都曾是高洁的。
In time, Yul spoke truth and bargained well. Its children escaped the Fundament and spread throughout the worlds. They followed the words of the Deep and brought low many agents of the Sky. They took, and a portion of all they took was returned to the Virtuous.
一段时间过后，尤尔开口说出真相并交易。它的孩子们逃离了基本面传播到了世界各地。它们遵从深渊的话语带来了天空的代理人。它们夺取，并将夺取的所有东西的一部分都还给了美德。
They grew strong.
它们开始变得强大。
In time, Auryx learned Akka’s secret. That he was stronger than the gods. That they had given their power, and in giving, it was diminished. Auryx rose up and slew Akka. He took, and he grew strong with Akka’s power.
又过了一段时间，欧里克斯学习完了阿卡的秘密。这让他比虫神们更加强大。它们给予了欧里克斯它们的力量，在给予中，虫神的力量减弱了。欧里克斯崛起并杀死了阿卡。他夺取了阿卡的力量，并因它变得更加强大。
After the five became four, Yul spoke.
当五位虫神变成了四位后，尤尔开口了。
Behold my majesty. Behold my crushing might, my staggering size, my scales that shine with an oppressive gleam.
且看吧陛下。观我摧枯拉朽之力，观我遮天蔽日之形，观我抑光闪耀之鳞。
Behold my wings, which create winds that sweep through the stars.
观我塑风驱星之翼。
Together, we have called life to Fundament, and made that life thrive. Protected it from extinction. They are our hosts, and we are their strength.
让我们一同为基本面呼唤生命，并让这种生活滋长。保护它免于灭绝。它们是我们的主人，我们是它们的力量
But we do not give. We take. For this is the struggle to exist. We are not immune. The weakest of us must give way to the stronger.
但我们不会被给予，我们要去夺取。因为这就是生存的斗争。我们无法避免。我们中最弱的人必须让位于强者。
And Xol felt [fear|cunning], for it knew that Yul would in time turn its teeth to Xol.
这时，狡诈的尸飕感到了恐惧，因为它知道尤尔会在某时把獠牙转向它。
But Akka was not the only one with a secret. Xol had a pact with a forgotten child, abandoned by its father.
但阿卡不是唯一一个有秘密的虫神。尸飕与一个被他父亲遗弃、被遗忘的孩子达成了协议。
The cursed one took a fraction of Xol’s power, and in return, Xol took the heart from the child, whose name had been struck from the World’s Grave. The orphan called life out of death, and fed that power to Xol.
被诅咒之人夺取了尸飕的一小部分力量，作为回报，尸飕夺取了那个被世界坟墓除名的孩子的心脏。孤儿从死亡中召唤生命，并用这种力量喂养尸飕。
Together, they would find a new world to rule.
他们会一同找到一个新世界去统治。
And the five became three.
然后五位虫神变成了三位。
I, the child become [herald|death], record these words. They are not of the Sorrow. They are mine.
而我，成为了死亡先知的那个孩子，记录下这些话。它们不属于忧愁，它们属于我。
