Oloyou the cat is the very first creature that God-child creates at the beginning of the ages, and he becomes the first friend. God-child and Oloyou play together for hours on end. But one day the cat falls into the depths of Nothing, into the kingdom of ferocious OkÔun ArÔo, the Sea. He falls madly in love with Kandili, the glorious mermaid-daughter of OkÔun ArÔo. Her father's rage at this turn of events throws the lovers up into the heavens, where Kandili becomes the Night in the Sky, and Oloyou a comet that leaps and plays through the night.
