For those who may read this,

Lady Gaia is not just the Earthmother, or Queen of the Wilds and Forests, as seems to be most associated with Her. She is the Lifemother, who brought the Cycle into existence before all.

And as the Seasons fill the Cycle, the Sky and the patterns of the clouds and weather adorn and dance alongside Her. For all the planets that hang in His endless Sky, they are blessed with Life from Her breath.

I hope for a world where mortals and Her Wilds may coexist, and reach equilibrium, as a few settlements already strive to do.

But, for those too stubborn to let that happen, to see what could be, Nature's Necessity calls for your culling. And should the whole of this world be so corrupted by mortal greed, then Necessity will call for the end of all sentient life, so the Cycle can return to balance.

For what are we but a part of the dance between Earth and Sky? She nourishes Life, and He helps it grow. Winds and storms to test and tend. Rich soil is the cradle and blessing of Her bounty.

So, glory to She who gives Life to all within His boundless Wings!

Glory to Earth and Sky!


Sincerely,
~*~ Ryssa Embersong, Child of the Wilds
