17 Chapter 16

The Terra formed on the edges of the ash lands, their flames giving life to the poor soil around them. As their earthly brown flames burned the souls around them rose and surrounded the flames.

It took quite some time before the Terra's bodies completely formed, their size dwarfing the area around them, the smallest of the bunch reaching a height of 15 meters. Their first born reaching a staggering 30 meters, all over her shoulders and head green flora grew, acting as hair for the terra it grew until it reached her back.

All around them the earth of the ash lands sprung to life in the presence of their, even the beasts around them started to change from the presence of the terra.

Just waking up from their slumber they looked around the ash lands groggily. During their slumber the lands around them changed to suit their needs, the land of ash now a peaceful green forest, a stark contrast to the gray beyond the forest.

*Yawn*

As the leader of their group Gaia looked around at her kind. She knew she could not stay in these lands as they could not suit her race.

She bore into the black dirt of the forest until she reached a certain point, at the end of her cave like tonnel a portal into a world where her kind can shape it to their wills welcomed them.

As they formed there world, one full of mountains and hills, rivers cutting through the valleys in between the mountains, and lush forests full of beats covering the land, she knew she was different.

As her kin struggled to help shape their world she could easily shape the earth around them to form wonders. One of her masterpieces, a mountain the broke through the white clouds above them, a certain type of energy seemed to form all around the mountain giving rise to a mysterious fog.

Her connection to the earth was far deeper, on a level hard to understand unless they themselves felt it. In her mind knowledge of what she was sprung forth, she was a representation of the very type of soul flame that burned within her. She was a divine, a being that could control the power of their element.
