The Great Wise Wizard understood that the little ones, despite their size, did not know how to speak, nor did they know about the place or the history of the three planes. But how could he explain entities, concepts or define sets of situations and variables to those who could neither speak nor ask questions? First, he had to teach them how to communicate and reason. That was easy, he had up his sleeve the first step to master wisdom. The old man formulated a spell and between his hands made a sphere of thoughts appear and materialize in the air, which entered the minds of the three little ones. The diluted mist that fragmented entered through the middle of the children's foreheads, causing them to roll their eyes for a moment. After a little while, they began to articulate their mouths, then to speak, and finally to ask questions about the basics that needed to be learned.
"What are we?"
"Good question, my little ones, I have an excellent answer. The soul is purpose, which will grant right to exist in this multiverse. According to the function, behavior and type of energy they have, will be classified existence. For example, this rock" The old man with a long and fluffy beard, wearing a simple orange robe tightened at the waist by a rope, lifted a simple boulder from the ground "has a function to develop, it also has soul and purpose of passive character. In the language I taught them so that they can communicate, it is named as "rock" or "object" in order to conceptualize and thus understand it."
After placing the boulder on the ground, he pointed with his fingers.
"Those on the prairie who walk, and many others who can fly, swim, jump, jump, burrow, and crawl, are characterized by having the most basic needs of all: to be born, grow, reproduce, and die; although they are named in different ways, they are "animals" or "living things".
After lowering his hand and bringing it to his chest, he watched the three little ones with his metallic black eyes.
"The third group is chaos, violence, destruction and construction, mostly influenced by feelings. The non-tangibles are those who have no need to survive, feeling no danger; the need to evolve does not exist. And finally, the fifth group, the consumers, who maintain an insatiable hunger. Among these five main and most notorious forms of existence, there can be a whole infinity of variations if they combine with each other. And you are a result of those combinations that compose and populate the three planes.
"What other kinds of variations are there? Mnnnn..." wondered the old man as he rubbed his shaved head from back to front and then fluffed his white beard, which reached to the entrance of his stomach. "We have a fair amount of realms, both earth plane, interplanar and space. But in the animal kingdom of the earthly plane there are succubus, vampires, lycanthropes, fairies, nymphs, cherubim, elementals, elves, orcs, ogres, bestialized, humanized, dullahans, cyclops, trolls, dwarves, gnomes, giants, minotaurs, changelings, goblins, elves, fauns, satyrs, amazons, golems, ghouls, harpies, hannyas and humans are the most prominent high intelligence mammals among the combination of the five main forms of existence."
"Mammals. Another weird word, isn't it? It wasn't in the basic teaching package I gave you. By mammals I mean they were born from a womb, have four limbs and warm blood, just like you. Although any of the above can still be what they are without being or having been a mammal. Yes, I mean a vampire can be and exist without necessarily being born from a womb, having four limbs or warm blood. Without one of these three characteristics, the species in question ceases to be a mammal, but not by what it is known and distinguished for. I will tell you about the events and facts that belong to the past time and that constitute the development of two species, from their origins to the present time, so that you can understand."
After making the figure of a human with white skin, black eyes and brown hair appear in the air, the old man continued.
"Not even humans (who, not because they are the last on my list, cease to be the first to reign on the earthly plane) were mammals at all times. Yes, just as you are hearing it. The first ones were not necessarily born from a womb, although they did have warm blood and four limbs."
