Once, there was a large, paradise-like piece of land, which drifted everywhere and nowhere so that unknown beings could not disturb the peace. On it were many different plants at their finest condition, with multiple bushes scattered around the area that grew the juiciest of berries, accompanied by many small ponds and large lakes that either held salt water or clean water, whichever the species living in them preferred. 

There were many caves and large bushes to rest or live under, along with very rainy, completely sunny, partly cloudy, or even just cloudy weather that helped all types of animals and plants get what they needed.

Speaking of plants and animals, as you can see, there were many types of birds that filled the sky, all types of marine animals that lived in either the shallow ponds or deep lakes, or even land animals that romped around the 5 large biomes that occupied the island. 

The Grassy Plains, which were known for their large expanse of biome.

The Dense Forests, known for their juiciest berries and crystal clear water.

The Humid Rainforests, known for how uncomfortably humid they were to most, but were filled with many different types of life.

The Dry Deserts, known for how they lacked the need for water, but still somehow sustained life.

And the Misty Mountains, which were best known for the large amounts of mist that collected  around the whole mountains, from top to bottom, and the one large cave that rested at the top of the highest mountain, which was called "Mt. Lorko", because of how desolated and seemingly scary it was to every animal.

Except for Mother Nature, of course.

Who is Mother Nature, you may ask? 

Why, she is the center, or presumably core, of all life, and the creator of all the landmass the occupied the oceans. She also created and shaped everything, well, except for one certain species that had quickly evolved from the apes and monkeys, and had moved off of the island, completely shutting and separating off from Mother Nature for so long, that she about forgot about them, until 2 of them somehow made it to the constantly-moving island by a wooden, floating raft they called a "boat".

Now, when the beings arrived in search of food, water, and a place to shelter, Mother Nature became fascinated by the beings and took pity upon them, instructing some of her children to escort the 2 new-comers to the nearest water and food source, and after they were done, to bring them to her.

When they did, the beings came to her, and Mother Nature did not fail to noticed their ever-growing curiosity, and allowed them to ask as many questions as they would like with limitless patience and tolerance. After the new-comers exhausted themselves and fell asleep, the night quickly passed, and the next morning, Mother Nature made sure that they were prepared to be sent back to their civilization, and then let them go, with everyone waving goodbye, for they all enjoyed the new being's company.

As for their species name? Well, they called themselves the "Humans", of course.

Soon, a few days passed, and everyone was doing what they had planned for the day, when the newly proclaimed "humans" found their island once again, but seemed to be in distress as they had brought 2 more of their species, and were covered with severe injuries, along with being on the verge of passing out.

They then limped up to Mother Nature, asking for help before passing out, and Mother Nature stood in shock of what could of happened to them to cause them so much harm and pain.
