As a child Haumea had once snuck away from the chambers of her family and entered
the realms of the servants. There she saw the animals that were kept and used in various
ways and she fell in love with them as she watched and marvelled at them.
As she stared in wonder, Haumea was seen by a servant and in their shock at seeing
one of the higher-ups and in disgust at what they saw as a freak, as well as in seeing the
joy on her face and wishing to wipe it away, they showed her what happened to these
creatures, slitting the throat of a pig in front of her and processing it, telling her where each
part of the beast would end up in her diet.
This, rather than shocking the girl, actually impressed her somewhat and she carried the
memory of that day always in her mind.
When she rose to her feet, her eyes wide and her cheeks covered with dried mud,
Haumea rushed to the ruins of the servants’ realms to try and find any surviving animals
but found none. Instead she first helped Ceres bury the dead before exploring the New
World and bringing back to the First Settlement animals Mother Earth had created during
The Chaos to keep and domesticate, leaving those she was less sure of.
Haumea brought back cows, pigs, sheep and chickens (Makemake was only interested in
birds that flew) and showed people how to house and care for them and also what parts
could be used- expanding the menu that Ceres had created but also helping to clothe the
people’s bodies and feet as well as give them other items such as soap and blankets. She
also showed the people how to chop down trees and make fires out of them for cooking
and warmth.
Later she found horses, dogs and cats- animals that would serve other purposes. And
later still she would teach people to hunt and trap animals she felt should be used but left
free to wander.
And happily Haumea lived in This World, pleased Mother Earth had spoken to her and
enabled her to return to that early memory and live a life with This World’s creatures.
