Day X of Awakening
Hmm, the sun feels nice, I should nap. But I just woke up? Mmmmm nap time.
Day XXXX of Awakening
BANG!
Huh! Wha! Extending my senses, I observe my surroundings.
A boulder thumped against me? From where? It glows with heat? Why?
Mmm well I’ll take it into myself, it is metal, and it belongs to the earth
Back to sleep
Year XX of Awakening
I have grown, my mound has become a small hill, I condensed that metal into a core to house most of well, me. It feels good to be this big, but I want to grow more… ah, I can do that later, lets nap for now.
----- Years pass, the mound became a small hill, the small hill became a large hill, and now the large hill became a small plateau---
Year XXXX of Awakening
MMMM! There is a cold spot on me! What is it!? Oh, it’s a small lake… when did that get there, eh, could be fun. OH, there is some more metal, yummy, get in my core! Oooooooh, a small bit of platinum? Such a treat.
Year XXXX of Awakening, Day XXX
Hmmmm, there has been some tingling on me around the lake. Let’s see what it is! Oh, it’s a bunch of creatures, they look the same… some shaggy thing with for legs, a tail, some ears… Bah, weirdos.
Year XXXX of Awakening, Month X, Day XX
Hmmm, there has been frequent interruptions from my naps my all sorts of things visiting the lake… the only good they have done was bring seeds, oh boy, SEEDS! There is this tiny thing that came out of one of them, I can feel it too. It’s like an extension of me. Oh, and AIR! It TASTES! It’s GOOD! I shall name it! Nammme, nnnnnnnnaaaaammmmmmmeeeee, nameeeeeee… what is my name?

Well, the tree will be named Yigg, it shall grow into a mighty tree! One day…
Year X of the Naming, Month XX, day X
Something interesting happened, so Yigg is growing in the center of the lake, on a small hill that is maybe one and a half of its current length at the highest point (about 5 or so feet). Well, it has started to glow when the sky goes dark. That’s it, it glows. Interesting is it not? Also, the lake has gotten deeper and larger, to many things are interested in Yigg… oh, and more trees around the lake, I imagine they will cover me entirely at some point, what a marvel that will be. Yigg will be the tallest of course, because it’s Yigg.
Year XXXXX of the Naming, Month ??, Day X
I am covered in trees, it is great, so many things call me home. It makes me happy! Though, I can only feel the sun through Yigg now… eh, whatever, it is nicer to sleep in shade.
Year X of the ???, Month X, Day X
The trees scream, the creatures that call me home scream, the sky is falling, large flames fall from the sky. It hurts me to feel this.
Year X of Skyfall, Month 12, Day 23
I haven’t slept since the screaming started, the large flames? Molten rock falling. How do I know? About 12 have hit me so far… they move too fast for me to do anything about. I have sunken Yiggs home down into me, lake and all. Yigg is precious, it cannot be hurt. I think Yigg is crying? I don’t know why.
Ah, another has hit me. At least I get more metal? It really hurts though…
Year XX of Starfall, Month XXX, Day XX
I fell asleep, I was too tired… at least the sky isn’t falling anymore, there are about 38 more hunks of molten metal and rock in me. Yigg seems depressed, have some light buddy, the sky isn’t falling anymore.
It takes me around 8 cycles of seasons passing to raise Yigg out of the ground. Yigg seems surprised by the amount of trees still left, barely any really, maybe if they were all bunched together in the shape of the lake, I’d be like 12 Yigg lengths across (1 Yigg is about 18-19 ft). Mmmm now I’m tired… good nap Yigg… Good nap…
Year X of ???, Month X, Day X
There seems to be a lot of rucus going on around the lake, some weird creatures are taking the busted wood from the trees and are breaking them apart and then putting them back together? Yigg tells me it hasn’t been that long sence the Sky fell, maybe 2 or so cycles, Yigg, why do you sound unsure? What? You were napping too? Aren’t dreams nice? I dreamed about this super tall mountain and it said to me “you like Yigg, Yigg is nice to be with, Yigg is so pretty” over and over. Yigg? Yigg? Hello? Hmmmm must be napping again… oh yes, Yigg? The creatures, what about them? They look weird? Well yeah, they seem to be on two legs and are covering themselves in dead plant pieces and animal pieces, there is tufts of fur on their heads from what I can tell. Oh they made something, some of them are going into it, what are they doing now you ask? Why, can you not see? There is a dead tree blocking you? Oooohhhh, you mean that thing they made? What’s with the attitude Yigg? Why are you being rude? Fine then, I won’t tell you Ptbbbbbbbbbbttttt.
Year XX of the Settling, Month XX, Day X
Humans, that’s what these creatures call themselves. The ones with pointy ears on the sides of their heads are Elves, then the ones with more fur ore the Kin. The Kin? Yigg, I’ve told you this all before, or did you tell me? Yeah there isn’t really much to talk about… well anyways, the Kin are a collective of ‘beast’kin. They share animal traits yet remain humanoid in shape. Like wolf face on a human body with hearty coat of fur for the males, and just the ears and tails on the females. Thought, there seems to be a thick strip of fur that runs along the center of their back.
Mmmm time to nap again me thinks…
