Omniscient POV( Third Person)

A Millennia ago, the moon Goddess stood in her Astral form and gazed down upon the earth. Seeing the earth and its people thrive on their own of course with the help of her sister Solehra, -Mother Nature herself. It indeed was a wonderful sight for her to witness. In fact, the goddess was so pleased, that she- along with the help of the all-father, chose to bless the earth with new inhabitants, a new race of beings, and they shall be called werewolves. For without the all-father's help, no new life can form. With that, came her wonderful blessings, her gifts. From then on they will be her people and will be taught to pray to her for guidance.

She is a god after all.

"It's Time".

A Long Time Ago...

Solehra danced as the earth beneath her rumbled with light tremors, signaling a plant was going to sprout. Not just any plant, but a flower, and this was no normal flower either because this flower held a special being and that being was going to be all hers to nurture, and protect.

This was the birth of a new shifter.

The ground opened and what shot out was a giant sunflower's stem. Solehra rejoiced" gather around, gather around everyone!" changed her form into one of a giant and looked as the flower began to open its petals to her. In full bloom, with a stature that rivaled the outside world's Eiffel tower, the flower released a pungent scent that caused all of the trees and other alike-beings, surrounding it to dance. In the middle of the sunflower lay a tiny shifter, about the size of an average 3-year-old human being. Solehra swiped his sleeping form up with the summoning of her winds, and he landed softly in the palm of her hands.

"He's beautiful." Solehra thought out loud and smiled. Her heart soaring. He was the first of his kind, the only plant shifter born from her garden, that had a little of her in him. He was truly special." Your name shall be.." she miniaturized her form to where she can hold him in her arms and whispered in his ear," Tabek."

As she said his name he began to open his eyes. Blinking just a few times, he looked at Solehra and then smiled at her, knowing instantly that she was his mother. Little beings and small Woodling creatures bowed all around them, and then divinity happened. The wind began to swirl as the sun began to slowly diminish as an eclipse began to take over, where the sun once shined its bright powerful rays.

In the distance, Solehra felt the presence of her sister, the moon goddess Mawu.  She appeared in flowing black hair that danced around her body and glided down to greet Solehra. She had beautiful bronze skin, and her eyes glowed like the moon itself with an exception of a third eye on her forehead that was pitch black. She had gold bands around her wrists and a gorgeous crown that held a crescent moon and stars that danced around the top circumference of it. She was truly a sight to see.

  "How wonderful, dear sister, the great creator blessed you with a shifter of your own. I had to see him for myself. Oh... the first of his kind..." She gazed at him and Solehra smiled, nothing but pride in her eyes as she allowed her sister to gaze and rubbed a finger against his cheek.

Without any sort of warning, Mawu began to summon a nebula that was filled with purples, blues, pinks, yellows, and specs of whites. In this nebula, a star was formed, and with this star, Mawu gave little Tabek her blessing." May you bring true joy to everyone you meet, little one, and know no sorrow." The eclipse began to slowly move away and Mawu's form began to sparkle away. In her final parting, she smiled down at them and left him, with a necklace.

"To humble beginnings my dear child," Solehra announced as the wind blew and trees danced around them.

Tabek's POV


I ran a hand through my long hair and lazily laid in my hammock swinging my left leg as it dangled, I let out a long dramatic sigh.

"What seems to be the problem, my prince?" Timberwood, my caretaker asked me while floating on a leaf near my feet. He was what the humans would call a male fairy, here in the garden mother called his species her fae people. They, along with the Redwood giant trees, protected the borders of the garden and maintained order.

But nothing out of order ever happened here. Nothing can penetrate the garden, you can't come in from the outside or leave from the inside. That's just how she has it made. We were all just stuck in this giant eutopia of a garden, that resembles an island. It was so big that it had two great lakes and four gigantic mountains that each housed Pheonix's that also protected the garden.

I've traveled every corner of this garden, to the tundra, the desert, the jungle, and of course the forest where our Kingdom sat. There's nothing in the garden that I haven't come to unveil, and it truly bothers me.

Every day it's the same boring routines, that I'd do begrudgingly over and over again. When I was younger I'd play with the creatures, mother created just for me, but they slowly began to grow old and soon they diminished away into ashes. Mother told me it's the cycle of life. For balance there must be death, for new life to form. But when the new life formed again I'd have to reintroduce myself to them over and over again, until I couldn't take it anymore and just give up on trying to have friends.

"Nothing..."

Sometimes I wished I could grow old as fast as they did and be reborn like the phoenixes and other organisms in our garden. But mother told me that I- much like her is an immortal and cannot and do not need to be reborn. She told me those things are just for the mortals, ...for the humans of the outside world.

I sighed in annoyance, she told me of the times she'd go out and brought climate changes to the world, and how amazing...how developed the humans were becoming and it truly intrigued me. I was curious of their ability to change, though they are mundane in our eyes -the immortals, they had the ability to change...an ability that I... lacked. I wanted to see a mortal, to meet one, to touch one. I just wanted to do something else than the same thing I did every day.

It was truly mundane in this garden. I grew weary of it every second, I can't wait for the day mother lets me out of the garden. Though that day I know would become a folly one... it would be scary, and exciting... a brew of 'change', something I longed for.
Suddenly the wind blew with harshness and the bright rays of the sunshine sparkled down on my eyelids as mother appeared.

"Hello Tabek, I brought back gifts."
