How Tetesh Made the World

About a month or so ago, the Wanderer's Library--a collaborative writing site I'm a member of--created a sword and sorcery setting revolving around a caravan that travels the desert and the four species that live in the desert. Then we made some fiction for it, which is all collected (along with the setting information) here. My contribution, in addition to a very short in-setting herbal, was this myth. It's on the website here but I thought I'd post it here as well.

For reference, the yaka are a species of hexapodal foxlike beings. In the modern day, they're silver, though in this myth they aren't--yet.
