The Gathering of the Powers

But the sky didn’t answer yet, and he was left alone above sea, with blood and iron covering his skeletal body, wondering who could have given him away to the Grunes?

How had he, Starfiuse, the most powerful man in "The First Earth Period", come to a state in which he was dressed in a small piece of sack that did not prevent one bit of the chilly winds from reaching his bones, and the only sounds around him were the echoes of his own cries and the waves from beneath, which were awfully strong on that dreadful day? How did the most powerful man of that time become so helpless? Pretty much in the same way that he became the most powerful man of that time.

"My explorations have come to an end!" Starfiuse had declared to a small community of Oogles that have been long intrigued with his researches of the earth, just a few months ago.

They had all been thrilled to hear of the latest discovery of one of the only humans in their area. That was in the times before the humans increased to an amount that pressured the Oogles and made them discriminate humans.

"I have come up with a method to derive the forces of nature out of the earth!" he had announced in a thrilled tone, "And maintain them for our own use!"

His proclamation had sent them into murmurs, discussing every angle of the possibilities they would have. None of them bothered to discuss the moral side of the brilliant scheme.

"During the next two weeks, my plan can be viewed in my great ancestor Athelion's cave!"

and throughout the following twenty days, Oogles had come in and out of the celebrated cave, all fascinated with his clever ideas.

Expectedly, the word of the plan had spread all over the island of "Globenor," which was the biggest part of land not covered with water in the first earth.

After those two weeks, when Oogles from all over the island had been rejoicing, the Grunes were also gathering, but for grief.

"The downfall of Dantorko has not put an end to the Oogles' nasty deeds!" announced the elderly Iglolian the Second, "In addition to the terrible reports that the Oogles are plotting war against our nation, it is, by now, renowned that a foolish human of their side, is planning to rob the earth of its magnificent, breathtaking, wonderful, and astonishing forces, which they fail to appreciated over and over again."

Iglolian the Second, son of Iglolian the First, who led the Grune rebellion, and formed their religion, was almost as treasured as his father, but the Grunes hadn’t been praising him at that moment. They had broken into cursing and hissing, and crying and mourning.

Those who had thrived to retain a calm reaction asked, "What powers is he planning to steal?"

"As I've heard, his plot is to first take the power of the water sources, then move on to the plants, then the animals, and finally the powers of ground!" Iglolian stated in a tragic voice, as every word of his made them gasp, and then continued, "But details are not to be dwelt on, what we need is to catch the imprudent wizard, and put an end to his meaningless life!"

All had agreed to his decision and they all discussed the immorality of robbing the earth.

Their love for the earth was just as reasonable as the Oogles' desire for its splendid powers. In the first earth, the forces of nature were entirely different, or at least in its early times.
