Legend of the Four Goddess and Birth of Seasons

Long ago when man was very young survival was a struggle. The ground was hard and food was almost impossible to grow. People were at the point of exhaustion and would soon die out. Four young Goddess saw the plight of man and against the wishes of the other Gods used their powers to help. The First was Terram, she came to earth and gave her body to become the fertile lands. Food grew from the grounds and she gave everything to grow crops for the people. Everyone was grateful but ate more than their fill. As the crops were ceaselessly grown Terram began to grow weak. Seeing the pain of her sister, Aquila came to earth as a mighty cold so she could soothe Terram but because of this no crops would grow. People grew fearful that they would have no more food. Enalla, seeing her sister Aquila angry ,came to earth on a light breeze. She blew away the cold and comforted her sister Aquila while letting man start helping Terram to sow crops. Soon after Enala came, Ignilis came to earth with the light of the sun. With it she heated the Earth and gave her power to help grow the crops. In this way the balance of the seasons was created by the sacrifice of the four goddesses. Terram now produced crops, Aquila brought the cold to give the earth rest after harvest, Enalla came to tell man to sow the seeds of next harvest and Ignilis then arrived to provide the power to cultivate the crops. These seasons were named for the Goddesses Ter, Aquil, Enla and Ig.
