In the Beginning there was Darkness and out of the Darkness came the Mother

From her flesh She formed the Earth With her tears She filled the seas and lakes and rivers She walked upon her creation and where She passed grew grasses, trees, and flowers Her breath becaht hand She created all animals that run and swim and fly With her left hand She created all ani of birds

When She had walked all the Earth, She sat to rest in a circle of silver birch As She was lonely, She gave forht keep her company And the form was that of a beautiful woman Her name was Milthra and she was the Eldest of the Elder Races

When the Mother left the Grove, She gave form also to the other birches that Milthra would never be lonely as She had been It is said there is form in all trees if the Power is there to call the spirit out

And as the Mother walked the Earth, She bled four times From her blood came the other Elder Races, the Centaurs, the Giants, the Dwarves, and the Merfolk

And so She could see what She created, each tiht sky

Then another came out of the Darkness His name was Chaos and He lay with the Mother and She bore him a son And the name of the Mother&039;s son was Death He was very terrible and very beautiful

As the Elder races were of the Mother&039;s body and blood, they could see Death&039;s beauty but not his terror Though they could be killed, they did not die; and so they had no fear of hied her to create a people he could rule

Because She loved him, She did

But because She loved her newest creations as well, She gave theave theave them a promise that once Death had come to them, they would return to her once more She called them Humans, but Death called them Mortals which ift to create Gods They worshiped and made sacrifices in the hope that their Gods could keep Death away But the powers of the Gods, being Huainst the Mother&039;s true son

Soon Humankind abandoned the Gods and learned to face Death Some even came to see his beauty

But a God once created cannot be uncreated and so, no longer worshiped, the Gods grew bored Those given the aspect ofthe Earth in human form Eventually, they all lay with mortal women and from those unions the race of Wizards was born

The Wizards used the powers of the Gods to pervert the Mother&039;s gift and their first act was to turn on their fathers and destroy thereat council and for many centuries ruled the creatures of the Earth Even the Elder Races feared them, for it appeared the Wizards had conquered Death

Over the years, as their powers grew, so did their corruption By forcing the breeding of man and animal, they created the Werfolk in a mockery of the Mother&039;s work

And then the Wizards dared to create so-Dragons, giant beasts with command of fire and frost, rulers of the air or seas But the Earth was the Body of the Mother and the Wizards could not control it They had created their own destruction

The Dragons turned on the Wizards and in a battle that changed the shape of the land, slew and devoured their would-be ons that survived returned to the Earth from which they were e of Wizards, Death smiled
