As The Chaos that existed in between the First World and This World whirled about her,
Mother stumbled forward across the rock. Broken by the woe she felt and seeing that her
children would have no future in this desolate place, she laid down and became the earth,
giving her body and her form so that her children might have a future.
As she transformed, Mother spread herself out as far as she could, covering whatever rock
she was able to- stretching across valleys and plains alike (even up slopes onto plateaus
where she felt able) and out from where the First World had stood all the way to rivers and
lakes and the sea, nestling around the bottom of mountains and other pieces of rock that
she could not cover.
And then Mother Earth decorated herself. This was something she had always had a
certain flair for, having designed and made most of her own clothes and furniture in the
First World and decorated her and Moon’s chambers. Designs and ideas that were copied
by the woman folk of that place.
Across This World Mother Earth made the plants grow from out of her new form. Grasses,
flowers, trees: all sorts, all colours beautifying and enlivening the brown covering she had
initially given the bare rock.
Then, after the bodies of the dead servants had been given to her, Mother Earth turned
each group of them into the first examples of each and every species that now live upon
This World.
Mother Earth then watched as the demon who had destroyed her love reappeared,
admitted what he had done and wrestled to take control as he had wanted to do in the
First World, his minions fighting as he stood back.
Later he was forced into the Underearth and Mother Earth, alongside the rock beneath
her, has kept him and his followers there as best she can. Continuously she feels the
pricks as he finds ways to try and force his way up and through to the Overearth once
more.
