Creation took what they needed from all 22,000 humans to create the new humans that will be intelligent enough to live and survive in the dangerous world of Terra. The first experimental humans will be known as the Originals, especially Calliope Mori. Her story will be known throughout the land by her friends. They all got special treatment by Death themself because of personal reasons... And later they will be known as the Ancients.

In the duration of 12 years, Creation made packs or tribes of people all around Terra. Making about 13,000 of the first intellectual humans after the Originals. And those years were known as the first 12 years recorded by human kind.

All these tribes were all different. Some decided to make peace with the spirits and mythical beings, some decided to make a hierarchy system, some wanted to be disconnected with the world and live far away from anyone else, some decided to make allies, and many joined together and made kingdoms and towns. The list goes on. It's been 140 years since Creation has neglected them. As their intelligence and population grew so did their understanding of the world around them.

The humans that were born in the first year have died and the new generations of humans do not know of the 'Celestials and their Apprentices' and thought of them as simple stories to get them to sleep as children. There are 7 stories in total; the story's titles are 'The Celestials', 'Time's Warden', 'Space', 'Nature's Mother', 'Death', 'The Originals', and a story that doesn't have a name about 'The Last Original to be Respected and how they became Death's Apprentice'. Each story had a meaning but some got lost throughout the years and were treated as simple bedtime stories. In the year 200 the only ones known were 'The Celestials', 'Death', a little bit of 'The Originals', and 'The Last Original to be Respected and how they became Death's Apprentice'.

The first and last story were to never be forgotten by the humans as it was tradition to tell the children these specific stories to respect the first Gods and the first human to ever befriend and be given a name by the Spirits and Mythical beings.

~Year 238~

War.

War started to happen in the Kingdoms. The Spirits and Mythicals started to disappear from the world, not wanting to interfere with human relations.

Then there was Death. A lot of Death. A lot of humans arrive in the Underworld. Death's suspicion was right, they needed help from Calliope Mori to bring multiple souls to the Underworld.

Fauna wasn't happy at all. As she befriended the humans throughout the first years she understood they would have disagreements but as far as killing another... that was the last straw. She refused humans that turned to her for help in the War. Then months later she also disappeared from the human world and resided back with the Spirits and Mythicals in hiding, never to be seen again. But before she completely went away she placed a spell as far as it can go; a spell that if any human that mistreats Nature even for something simple it would fight back twice as hard, injuring or even as far as killing a human.

~3 years later~Year 241~

Creation decided to interfere, not wanting to watch anymore. And they were not happy. They were disappointed with the outcome. Everything was in Chaos. Creation had decided they needed a Guardian. A guide for how things were 'supposed to go'.

Creation made a simple mold of a little girl, and they let Fauna, Kronii, and Sana decide what characteristics she'll have. Fauna wanted her to like nature and animals so she chose a random animal, Owls. Kronii wanted her to properly teach and guide humans, a book to keep records of things to teach. Sana chose her outfit, simple white and brown clothes of a traveler.

Creation was left to create her personality. Expansion's secret need to explore and wonder. Time's sense of duty, a duty to guide humans. Omegaα's understanding of everything. Sana's excited and serious side of her when needed. Kronii's sense to help with anything. Fauna's kind and caring side for everything. Death's understanding of well... death. Mori Calliope's wanting to befriend anything and everything when she was human. And finally Creation's friendly and outgoing side, along with their intelligence...

As a defense mechanism Creation put in that she'll forget the very traumatic events that she would eventually have to witness. Causing amnesia to the poor girl.

And now her name. Nanashi Mumei. The Guardian of Civilization: Nanashi Mumei.

Then she was plopped onto Terra.

Already knowing what to do she went to the nearest town and started to help and guide humans in the right direction.

As time passes she learns she can't convince everyone and that's okay. Though she finds herself in the middle of a battlefield. She tried to rush out of there but was met by an arrow to the back, and she died.

Creation: *sigh* I thought she would be the one. *saddened*

After the battle Creation was watching over, Mori Calliope appears on the scene to take the souls back to the Underworld. Then she stops in front of Mumei.

Calliope: You're not supposed to be here, Mumei. It's not your time yet. Please remember to be more aware of your surroundings. *Chuckles slightly*

Then suddenly Mumei was brought back to life.

Mumei: Yes, Ma'am! *Smiles* Sorry. Hehe... But what happened here... *Blank expression*

Calliope: *Ah, her memory loss...* Nothing, you just uh... tripped onto a rock and hit your head really bad...

Mumei: Oh! Okay! Well I'll be on my way now. *Already running away* Thank you Miss Calliope, I'll be careful from now on! Good Bye!!

When Mumei is out of sight

Calliope: *Blank Expression* *Continues with collecting souls*

Creation watched this happen. And they were for sure that Death and Calliope didn't have the ability to bring people back to life. But Creation had forgotten. Once they had given Mumei her name she was infused with power and was considered a Deity now, along with Omegaα, Kronii, Sana, Fauna (Her Title as Nature's Keeper), and Calliope (title of The Grim Reaper's First Apprentice).

In Creation's mind

Thank you, Calliope Mori. I'll have to reward you somehow. With the lack of your emotions after taking Death's deal, I'd say it took a big toll on you. Maybe I'll send someone your way. A new...friend. Wait... how does Mumei know Calliope? It's understandable for Calliope to know Mumei but not the other way around... HUHHH?!!?!? HAS SHE DIED MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY!?!?!?

With Mumei on her way, Creation confused, and Calliope collecting souls there wasn't to say there wasn't Chaos still in the world.

Where there is Life there is Death

Where there are Humans there is Chaos, Hope and Despair
