Mother Earth

Don't Mess With Nature!

She may be the center of the universe. Mother Earth is what humanity calls home, but if you want my honest opinion, she isn't just a planet that is to be reckoned with.

(ORIGIN STORY)

Mother Earth started out as a seed inside a young lady by the name of Amphora. As Amphora matured into a beautiful woman so did the seed. The problem was the seed was rapidly growing and needed more room for expansion. Amphora had reached her growing sprout, unfortunately... instead this seed adapted to Amphora and forced her to grow taller, wider, and bigger until the seed stopped growing completely. After Amphora could open her eyes there was no landscapes, no trees, rocks, or rivers insight. Just pure darkness blinded her vision. Not even adjusting her eyes could have helped any different. Until that she waved her hands in front of her face to make sure she was still alive had she realized that there was a three-dimensional map imprinted on her body. When she grew, she took shape and form from the seed. The seed absorbed so much, so fast that Olatin where Amphora was from and the entire continents with surrounding waters got sucked up and projected onto her body like a tattoo permanently from the inside is now a 3-D map of the world on Amphora's body. Blessed she was still alive after such a phenomenal experience, it was time she had to give herself a name...Mother Earth.

For the main reason why Amphora was selected randomly, was for the same purpose why the gods had created a seed inside her. To give hope to such a corrupt land called Olatin that the four of the second generation of gods had created together. Airison had the ability to command wind and give it direction. Landa could manipulate the ground to take whatever shape she so desired it to be. Sicilette was the goddess of water and could regulate precipitation to fall. As far as the last god goes, Heatfit had lit flames to a dark sun and had made it bright, while their parents Tinato and Kera created the moon and earth as it was envisioned as the paradise it to be before evil took over it. Thus the seed has all four gods' powers absorbed inside. As of Olatin and its inhabitants, as well as the rest of the world when they got sucked up into the vacuum of the seed not all of the people had died. Though those that did were the root of all evil...still, not all evil has been vanquished from earth entirely. Just ones that wanted to be gods of themselves. And by the speeding bullet of the seed as it enlarged itself, lifted, and threw people up into the sky and out of the earth's atmosphere where gravity then became their greatest enemy.

PART ONE: New Era of Civilization

She has been abused by mankind. we tear her trees down and build skyscrapers in place of them. We pollute the air we breathe, and bodies of water we bathe in and drink from. We have been blinded by these reoccurring actions, therefore we are killing her precious land. The land has changed drastically. From the creation of earth when the land was most prominent and was fertilized by the gods until they figured out that it was boring staring down at their beautiful but empty landscapes. The gods needed something to preoccupied their time with, so they thought it would be fun to add these titan-sized, walking lizards that are apparently descendants of birds called dinosaurs, once walked the earth. Wired right!

I just want to emphasize, when I say once walked the earth, I mean that they once walked the earth. Hopefully, this will give a clear explanation. One day Landa and Heatfit had a brilliant idea for a new game to play with combining one creation to another. Landa would throw enormous chunks of rocks at the earth while Heatfit would light fire onto them and at the end result, the rock known as meteorites would explode into earth's atmosphere in which had killed off the dinosaurs.

Then it was the medieval time period when wizards and kings, the most popular legend has it that Merlin and King Arthur had crowned the empire. Railroads were not introduced until western civilization. In the Victorian era, people practiced the virtue of being proper and having polite manners. Now we live in a more civilized era with technology distracting us at every turn. Hu!, I can't help but scratch my head at that notion.

There is something beautiful about how the way these two sisters chase after dandelions in the field under a vanilla lit sky. Evanesce and Essence's long brunette, kinky, curly, hairs blow to the rhythm of the wind. Soon the colors of the vanilla blend into one blanketing the sky black.

The girls lie down amongst the dandelions laughing and giggling out loud, with smiles stretched across their faces, revealing their white like phosphorus teeth. Fireflies blink light into the night air all around them. If these sisters were on any narcotics, it would be that they are simply high on life.

Staring up into the endless starry sky, the sisters see shooting stars blaze across.

A finger is being pointed.

Essence: “What did you wish for Evanesce?”

Evanesce: “If I told you my wish, it wouldn't come true.”

Essence: “That's okay, it's not my wish I'm telling.”

Chirping sounds from crickets are being heard

Evanesce: “I wish for a vaccine could cure you Essence. I do believe there is a potion, out there, somewhere in the alternate universe for you?”

Essence: " Now why'd you waste a perfectly good wish on me for? even if such a thing existed, this cure, we couldn't afford it.”

Evanesce: "Is it expensive?”

Essence: “yup! like gazillion dollars expensive.”

Evanesce: "Okay, It's your turn to tell me what you wished for lil sis.”

Essence: "I don't want to bring my hopes down.”

Evanesce: "But I told you what my wish was.”

Essence: “I don't know why you did since you clearly told me that it wouldn't come true.”

Evanesce: "Come on sis, are you really that superstitious?... pretty please tell me!”

As Essence moves her lips, silence spreads over her breath , both sisters witness something most phenomenal in that night-lit sky they were speechless. Instead of shooting stars displaying a show for these sisters, the stars in the universe form into letters, into words, then to be read into sentences. This grater life form had grabbed the stars for the sisters to read.

Mother Earth: "I WOULD TAKE SUPERSTITION VERY SERIOUSLY MY CHILDREN."

Not one sister could fathom what was going on. They want to speak but the phenomenal force of gravity hypnotized them and suddenly their bodies were ascending ever so softly to the moon. A levitational pull was occurring between both siblings and they were just hovering in midair. reaching for each others' hands, never intending to let go. Finally Evanesce broke the silence around them with laughter and Essence joining in. For no more than seven seconds these sisters were on cloud nine, but what goes up eventually has to come down to reality, and the only way for them to come back to reality is to hit the ground hard.

Essence: "I don't want stars to determine my destiny for me.”

Evanesce: points with her index finger showing Essence the extensive amount of stars in the universe on that night. While pointing another message was created.

Mother Earth: “I am Amphora... or.... just Mother Earth if it is easier. I need You now more than ever my daughters of virtue. My prominent land, flushed with green grass, towering trees and boulders move my mountains and raging waterfalls that fill my body with water given gracefully to allow you to roam on at your own free will is sick, potentially life threatening."
