The Cloudkeeper~ Chapter 2: The Waker

Two kids were playing on the swing set in Monterey California. The swing set was in a nice park surrounded by nice red wood trees. The kids were both girls, one with blonde pigtails the other with a red braid. They stopped and looked up at the cloudy sky. "Hey, lets go see the owls in the red woods!" The pigtail girl yelled.

So the two girls skipped along not looking at the ground. They found one huge red wood tree surrounded by beautiful flowers. "Don't knock on it girls." The Ground Goddess whispered.

But, the girls didn't hear the Ground Goddess. The Wind Goddess gasped at what the girls were about to do. But it was too late. Knock, knock, knock. The tree grew to about a 13 year old's size. It's leaves fell on the ground, and the brown bark turned into smooth pale skin. Finally, there stood a girl with her eyes closed, arms to her side, with beautiful dirty blonde hair. The girls screamed and ran off. The girl opened her eyes. "Welcome b-b-back Mother Universe." The Rainbow Goddess said politely.

"Hello Rainbow Goddess. I am pleased that I have returned." Universe sighed happily.

Universe looked at the foggy surroundings. She sighed. When she last saw it, it was beauitful. Now, the redwood trees were everywhere, along with trash. "What is this stuff?" asked Universe picking up a pepsi bottle.

"It's human junk." said the Wind Goddess.

"What is a human?" asked Universe.

"A person like you and me without powers." said the Animal Goddess.

Universe nodded. She looked up at the cloudy sky. So this is what Humans did. They threw junk on her creation of Earth. How rude and disgusting, she thought.
