Appendix II
The Fifth Goddess and the Dream
Since the Creation of the Orbs, the humans and animals had lived together in peace for many years based on the ideals the Four Goddesses had created for them. But years of hardship and trial befell on Daughter Earth and the Land of Serene. Storms from the Chaos outside the atmosphere invaded the Land and destroyed crops, desecrated homes, and left many people starving and hungry. Men and women alike used their goddess-given magic against one another to steal and to hurt. Territories were drawn and people receded into the first known Tribes, each taking an Orb for their own. With the Orbs’ great powers they pillaged the other Tribes that were not their ‘own’ even though they were truly all the same. Powers to used destroy that were meant to originally meant to create.
With the Goddesses gone there was no one to right all the wrongs that were done, and the soul of Granddaughter Earth of Mother Time died of the depression of crimes that were committed against the will of her mothers. And the world lived in Chaos.
Until one day, Mother Time bore one last child. The most powerful of all the Goddesses emerged, as an imperfect humanly being. She obliterated the memories of those that remained and punished the main evildoers by stripping them of their Magic, thus creating the non-magic humans. Next, from the Chaos that had ensued she created the Spirit Realm for those who had died wrongfully to live eternally with herself and her Four other Sisters, a parallel realm to the Living Realm. Those that were living stayed in their Tribes and eventually evolved away from one another, each with separate power. Each with their separated power were given a Tribal Stone, to protect themselves and the Land. The most powerful and purest of the new Tribes became the Royal Family, the mortal protectors of Serene. Lastly, the Fifth Goddess took the Orbs and combined their power into the Fifth Orb, one immensely powerful object that no mortal could ever lay eyes on without the keys of each Tribe, their Stones.
With her deeds done she created a monument to the Orbs and Stones, the Spirit Temple. It was the one place that was the portal between the Realms. But to unlock that portal one would need the first Four Orbs created. And now their power was one, guarded by the separation the Stones.
But if ever the mystical Fifth Orb was to be split and rejoined in the reunion of its four predecessors, a mortal would be able to control the Fifth Goddess herself for her soul is tethered to the Fifth Orb and destruction would come to the Land. So as the final precaution, the Fifth Goddess sent the only unchained part of her soul to await a mortal being pure enough to become one with the Fifth Goddess. This woman, if she is ever destined to be created, is known as the Dream, because she will become the dreams of all who need her in Flesh.
