Deep towards the center of the planet changes were occurring, the earth was waking. New energies slowly flowed outwards towards the crust. The energy's that were to become as Mana and Chi raced outwards bursting forth and changing all living creatures.  The plant enlarged by a third. The empty spaces were filled from the cosmos with the forces of Order and Chaos.  Flares of differing affinities erupted. This resulted in new forms of minerals that no longer conformed to the simple structure of the periodic table.

As the awakening occurred the fasted of the new energies reached outward and cross the vast distances and were detected by cosmic civilizations and entities that operated at scales unfathomable to the insignificant inhabitants of the planet Earth.  The responses of the murmuring of an awaking varied mostly ignored but occasional automatic responses occurred.
