At first, there was only the green. Endless forest.

She was the bark of ancient trees.

Her heart beat with the turning of the seasons.

She knew no sorrow, for she did not know loss.

Then came the first steps. Humans.

She was guarded, wary.

Then she saw the small ones.

They were small things, bright eyes. Her heart melted.

She didn't, couldn't bring herself to refuse them a home.

She watched them build homes.

She watched their children play.

She watched their old ones return to her embrace.

They built their city, Veridianis, after her name.

And she, in turn, called them her children.

For a thousand years, she was their Mother, and her forest was their home.

Then came a wrongness.

The sky tore open.

A bright light, brighter then the sun.

She felt a thousand hearts stop at once.

Everything burned.

She felt their terror, their pain, each of them.

In the echo of that final, city-wide scream,

The Mother died.
