An Ahuizotl Father

Learning in the middle plane 7

When the forest mother finished speaking, she opened her eyes and looked at Diana with a smile.

“Now that I told you the story about magic, let me tell you the story of my birth and how I became the forest mother.

It may not be one of the best stories they have to tell, however I can assure you that you will not regret it once you hear it because it is full of a lot of things that happened to me when I was quite young.

This story begins at the dawn of the beginning of the creation of this world. It was at that precise moment that while the world was completely on fire.

The gods decided to appease the planet by using elemental magic to create enough water to put out the burning earth and little by little they managed to create a habitable space.

However, the living space will hardly be enough to build anything, which is why the gods decided to unite to create the creatures that inhabit this place.

But because the task was too complicated and everyone wanted to interfere with their own creations after a while they came to the conclusion that the best way to deal with the new creations is to give them free will.

This, on the one hand prevented the gods from having a Superior power with any kind of creation that did not belong to them or even with theirs.

It also avoided wars between gods as there was no need to fight since all creations were completely independent, so all kinds of problems could be easily avoided.

Another thing that was also agreed is that the gods should not interfere so directly in the affairs of mortals, this mainly to avoid problems and that the gods could destroy mortals whenever they wanted.

It is at that precise moment that all the gods begin to work to be able to create their own creations and such magnificent things arose that even I am surprised by the things I could see a long time ago.

My mothers were the goddess Gaia and the goddess Ometeotl. Both of them were in charge of creating themselves so that I would become the guardian of the entire known world.

When I opened my eyes for the first time, I could see my mothers, but I could also see how the other gods created all the creatures that would inhabit my forest.

It was not easy to see the creation of all because the powers used by the gods were too powerful to be able to create the creatures they used different kinds of objects.

For example, Zeus created human beings using clay, but Ometeotl, my mother, also created human beings using corn.

Despite the fact that human beings are all the same, their origins have different variations depending on who was the creator god who made them. However, I was also able to see the birth of the elves and the dwarves.

As with all animals and many other things that simply disappeared over time, this is because all species ended up reproducing among themselves, creating new species.

The whole process of creation lasted approximately 2 full years during which I was able to spend time with my mothers. They taught me everything I know.

I was also able to feel maternal love at its best, which is why I promised myself that I would always take care of my children with the same capacity that my mothers raised me.

I can tell you that it was not easy to be able to learn how to love, however the years made me more and more wise, however continuing with the Genesis of the world.

The process of creating all the creatures that inhabit this world lasted only 2 years and after that the gods united their powers and created the primordial forest.

The primordial forest is not only trees of a single species, but there are hundreds of species that have a complete domain depending on the area or region where we are.

For example, in the icy regions of the North you will find many pine trees, however in the jungle regions of the South you will find trees specially adapted for the heat and the rains.

Whereas if you approach a beach in the middle of the world you will find that the trees are coconut and palm trees in most cases.

Although it was called the Primordial Forest, there are many divisions within the Forest that would take too long to explain. However, you should know that the Primordial Forest, in its early days was for a time a land of chaos.

This was mainly because all the species were looking for a place to stay, which eventually led to the first large-scale confrontation in the forest.

It was at that precise moment that I, being just a girl, created the first order established in the primordial forest and delivered zones for each species independently.

While he did sign a treaty between all intelligent species to be able to let animals reproduce and thus fill the primordial forest with much-needed life.

It was somewhat complicated to achieve. However, with my help and a few men who had an affinity with the magic of the druids, we managed to make the animal species reproduce quickly.

In a short time we had many herbivorous animals which could stay alive because although carnivorous animals continued with the cycle of life, we guaranteed that there would always be animals alive in order to avoid breaking the cycle of nature.

It was fantastic to be able to see how all the animals could live in the forest in a natural way and always maintain a balance.

However, it was completely impossible to keep allowing the balance in this case as the animals of the forest completely needed something called over-breeding.

This is because human beings and other thinking creatures, like magical creatures, also needed to feed on meat, so we had to break the natural cycle of nature in order to maintain even more carnivorous mouths than was necessary.

Fortunately, it was at that precise moment that all thinking creatures developed agriculture together with livestock.

we taught all thinking creatures how to have to raise their own animals so that they could keep themselves fed at all times and at the same time learn to grow their own plants.

It was a task that lasted at least 200 years, however when they fully mastered those two skills, the cycle of nature in the forest could be balanced again.

It was definitely not an easy thing to do, and it took a long time for everyone to adapt to the new changes but the result was something fantastic.

I have to admit that I have never been more excited by the simple fact that all thinking creatures could take care of their own animals while growing their own plants.

Without a doubt it was a fantastic moment is the creation of the primordial Forest, however the good times do not always last as long as we think.

Just as the primordial forest was completely created on the surface, something similar to the primordial forest was also created on the seabed.

It can be said that the world was completely divided into two parts, the first of which encompassed all the creatures that could survive outside the sea or water.

The second part pertained to all the creatures that lived in the sea or in the water. Those creatures were almost completely unknown at the time.

However, as you can imagine, some differences began to emerge that were small at the beginning, however as time passed, the differences became deeper and deeper.

Mainly because human beings and all thinking creatures performed more and more reckless actions in the water, mainly like hunting or fishing in order to feed the large number of people that existed at that time.

All sentient creatures did this mainly because they wanted to increase the quality of their food, as they were always looking for more and more in order to satisfy their needs.

It is that it does not represent a burden for the forest, however, fishing and other actions carried out in the water sources completely annoyed the inhabitants of that area.

That is why over the years a great enmity began to be created that finally triggered the first Interspecies War.

The war began when some mermaid-like creatures came out of the water and attacked a group of magical land creatures. The event should have been lost over the years however this kept repeating itself, so eventually we realized what was happening .

However, when we searched for answers, the sea creatures simply mocked us, then the land creatures took their revenge.

They attacked some areas inhabited by mermaids and other kinds of magical creatures that lived near the coasts.

How can you imagine this increased the number of deaths between the two sides and it was not until some time later that the mutual hatred was so great that the first small-scale battles began.

Sea creatures came out at night and attacked villages while land creatures attacked any sea creature indiscriminately.

The battles increased in intensity over time and after a few years, the height of the interspecies warfare occurred.

An army of nearly 100,000 sea creatures came out for the day and began attacking anything that happened to be on land.

All the thinking and magical creatures came together to be able to finish off the enemy army, that is why a coalition army was formed, mainly led by me, in which we faced those creatures in the bloodiest battle that I had experienced up to that moment.

The elemental magic of water that was mainly the magic that magical creatures had was quite dangerous. However, how can you imagine life on earth had more amounts of magic than you can imagine.

That’s why the battles went on quite calmly, it was almost completely impossible for the sea creatures to win the war, because they only relied on the power of water elemental magic while the land creatures had a large amount of magic which they could use them at any time to finish off their enemies, however all this lasted a few moments as the sea creatures realized that they could not defeat the humanoid army.

That is why they decided to use all the elemental power of water to create a great flood, hoping that with that action they could completely destroy all the terrestrial creatures.

However, they did not think that the equivalent exchange magicians that were in the army of the terrestrial creatures will use all their magic to be able to completely destroy the functioning of the elemental magic of water because they converted all the water into air, thereby causing the sea to lose a large amount of level, gaining more and more land for terrestrial beings.

This eventually caused the sea creatures to just get together, but the hatred was already marked. I made you pay attention to my words when I referred to the first War is because there was a second. However, it would not happen until about 1000 years later.

After the war was won, the terrestrial creatures returned to their normal actions while I, as the one in charge of taking care of the primordial forest, had the duty of being able to occupy all the lands won with so much hyper effort, prevent the water level from rising again and recover the lands that we had won I had to create together with the help of the druids.

A plant called a mangrove which could resist salt water and allowed to create a solid barrier against the force of the sea.

So the mangroves were placed outside of all the land area that we had gained obviously we were careful in creating the entire mangroves and We gave them enough skills so that they could survive in the different climates that existed on the planet, such as intense cold or heat.

The mangroves proved to fully fulfill their duty to care for and safeguard the hard-earned lands. That is why many plants come to mind and the primordial forest obviously continued to expand. All these actions caused a great problem for the marine creatures.

Mainly because the mangrove swamp prevented the sea from expanding, which created a situation of chaos in the Marine world. However, they could do absolutely nothing to defend themselves or even try to change the reality of the actions that had taken place.

That is why the person in charge of the Marine world decided to take action on the matter, so she began to prepare all those who could learn magic from her kingdom so that they could begin to create magical variations among the creatures, since the first War had lost her due to the lack of skills to be able to fight against many magicians with different powers.

I personally did not pay attention to the actions that the person in charge of the marine world was doing, because it was not my obligation to review what that woman was doing.

However, he made a big mistake by not completely reviewing the actions that woman was carrying out, however it was too late to be able to complain in any way because eventually time passed and I completely forgot about the matter, leaving a big problem for the future but while those years passed things were not so bad all the terrestrial creatures worked hard to be able to start building their own ever larger communities.

The new communities were so gigantic that they even surprised me, however they respected the primordial Forest at that time. The forest was their maximum protection of because anything that was outside the Forest.

Such as in very arid areas, simply died because it could not feed on anything Although there were extreme creatures that could survive the high temperatures of the most inhospitable regions of the planet, just as there were other creatures that could completely resist the low temperatures of the coldest regions of the planet.

All this depended on the different creatures that inhabited the planet, but especially the terrestrial species had much more points in favor of the marine species.

The marine species, although they were powerful in the end, were simply a very weak group compared to other kinds of terrestrial species. The sea water, in most cases, was not as cold as it could appear.

Because even though they were in the northern zone received hot water from the sea currents that had been formed with the creation of the world, therefore it did not matter if they inhabited the coldest or hottest area of ​​the planet.

The sea currents helped them perfectly to be able to regulate their temperature in any of those places, being able to that way they create their communities without worrying about anything at all.

That showed the superiority that they had compared to us at least when it comes to the complete domination of the areas that were entrusted to us.

Even I, as the forest manager, could not create plants that could withstand the hottest and coldest climates of the world. planet because although I could create some plants.

It was not enough to create a forest because the conditions of those climates did not allow any kind of complex life to be created in those places, however that did not stop me for anything and in the end I continued working hard to be able to get everything I was looking for.

But speaking of very important anecdotes that I passed, I will tell you how I was able to create the first desert plant to begin with. The desert is a fairly inhospitable, hot and horrible area.

What I liked was simply a place to die.

However, one day I was able to walk near an arid zone and I inadvertently found a few animals which had completely adapted to the desert climate that existed in that place.

I was not very convinced to see the life so decrepit of those creatures that seemed to have abandoned the primordial Forest simply because they felt more comfortable enjoying the heat that was in the desert.

I as the manager, could not allow that under any circumstance.

Because it was simply an insult to my duty as a caretaker of all the creatures that existed at that time that is why I strongly decided to create the first floor of the desert so that those creatures could have a place to live or at least a shadow where to protect themselves because most of them had to live under the sand in a desperate attempt to withstand the heat that existed.

In order to create the first desert plant, the first thing I did was to understand how the desert worked, because although it was a completely arid area where hardly any rain fell per year, when it fell, sometimes it created a few floods which were horrible.

So no plant in theory could survive so long without the vital liquid but even if they could survive without the liquid, there was a big problem, and that was that they had to withstand the floods that occur from time to time in the desert so the first plant he created was one that It had no leaves and simply functioned like the trunk of a tree.

However, it had the function of being able to store water and use it when necessary, but it also had the function of being able to retain water from floods in its roots, because that way they could begin to create small channels of water within the earth which should eventually in some creation of safe zones to which I liked to call oasis.

But in order to create these large plants that looked like trunks, I had to take other precautions, such as a means of defense for these plants, since they would most likely be attacked by animals due to their ability to store water, so without wasting time they add somehow many defenses that could serve completely to be able to defend themselves in the best possible ways.

That is why all those plants received thorns, which will be more than enough to prevent animals from trying to eat them. But there was a big problem.

Although the destruction of the plants had already been solved, now we had to solve something more complex and by this I mean the fact that the plants needed to reproduce but in the desert there are no insects that could fulfill this duty and the animals could not pollinate the plants in no way.

That is why I had to modify the plant so that it could create a red fruit which would be extremely sweet and easily eaten by animals under the premise that all the seeds would be left around the desert to grow more of those plants which did not need so much care.

Because they were plants capable of completely resisting the desert that is why he created the so-called pitaya a small fruit that could resist the scorching sun and produce a delicious flavor depending on the quality of the plant .

I also had to create a few insects that would fulfill the duty that the bees did, however no matter how hard I tried, the insects that I created were barely enough to take care of a few plants.

But I could not achieve the same effect that the bees had, it is because so I decided to take a bee and start modifying it so that they could resist the high temperatures and live exactly on the cacti that I had been able to create.

I also realized that I will only trust the cacti to be able to completely conquer the desert was a bad idea because although cacti could provide protection was not enough that’s why I decided to create another plant similar to a tree called mesquite.

This plant is mainly created so that it will function as a kind of zone adjacent to the places where the primordial forest existed, since it was an indication that they were entering the desert zone, therefore the mesquite functioned in three different ways.

To begin with, the mesquite fulfilled a great duty which was to retain the water of the border zone between the primordial forest and the desert, doing it in this way guarantees that the desert under no circumstances could continue to expand within the reach of the mesquites which at Like somehow many bushes worked to prevent the erosion of the fertile soil by the desert sands.

So be it, hello creation of the mesquites, bushes and cacti, life in the desert began to improve a lot, however there was still much more to go, so I decided to create some plants called agave so that they could fulfill the same function as the mesquite with the only difference what are you were mainly blessed by a goddess named Mayahuel.

The goddess Mayahuel personally fell in love with the agaves that she had created and gave them some blessings so that they could strongly resist the desert climate but they could also create some beautiful flowers with which they could reproduce quickly, however that was only the beginning because the agave had another function and it was mainly to create a drink that the gods liked.

Pulque quickly became the drink that all the gods liked to drink, that is why the agaves began to prosper so quickly in the desert that the place of becoming desert lands became something like lands that were semi-desert in where the agaves could be born in different ways.

But not only that happened but also some agaves began to evolve because they received the blessings of other gods, then different species of agaves began to emerge which had different functions, however it was not until human beings knew the value of the agave that they started using it to create something called tequila.

It was at that moment that the desert could be considered almost conquered because there were still many things to be created. I personally created three other very important plants, aloe vera, a plant that was capable of creating an aloe vera that could cure some.

Wounded, therefore, the human beings and the other humanoid creatures took charge of taking care of that plant completely, since it was a medicine in the middle of the desert.

The next plant that he created was called nopal and had many functions, especially being food for both magical creatures and animals, however human beings demonstrated that they could feed on nopals only by removing the thorns and cooking them in a comal .

Especially those human beings descended from those created with corn were those who most adapted to the desert climate and founded their houses and lands in those places, but the last plant that he created was perhaps the most important of all, which is called date palm .

The palm tree functioned as a large tree that grew in desert areas where there was water, therefore the Oases were able to prosper in even more complete ways because all the plants fulfilled their duty to be able to retain the water that existed in the desert creating small areas in where the creatures could live freely and adapt to the climates so contrary that the desert had.

This whole process of almost 500 years worked and unconsciously created some variations of animal species such as the desert crocodile or some rabbit-like foxes that quickly adapted to the horrible climates of the desert simply by trusting in the small Oasis and in cacti plants that existed in those places.

It is not a joke to say that I was able to turn the desert from a completely inhospitable area into an extension of the primordial Forest although it was quite special that is why at that time I created my first children who had the duty of taking care of the desert areas.

My children gladly accepted to take care of the desert areas that is why their skin from being white became a golden skin eventually led to a slightly darker skin and it was at that precise moment that they became The guardians of the desert areas taking care of complete to prevent any kind of person or group of people from trying to do bad actions against everything that existed in the desert because doing so was a declaration of war for all the species that inhabited those places.

Not to mention that the gods became the guardians of the agave and maguey plants, which became the best tools to produce some of the best spirits and alcoholic beverages that any of the creatures could have consumed.

Once the task of being able to completely dominate the deserts was completed, I decided to start with the new task of being able to dominate the coldest area of ​​the planet which was in the north, however there was also another cold area in the south.

Unlike the desert in the north and south, the climate was absolutely cold and reached such horrible temperatures that they were simply quite uncomfortable to cope with."
